Lin Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Dongfang William had eaten and there was nothing wrong with him.

It seems I was overthinking things.

She took the bread and water and started eating, but after only a few bites, she felt a little dizzy.

William's smiling voice came from the East.

"You are indeed very cautious, but you are still too naive."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong immediately sensed something was wrong and threw the water in her hand directly at Dongfang William.

She bit her tongue and lunged toward the helicopter door.

She carried a parachute when she boarded the plane, hoping that jumping off would allow her to escape the clutches of Eastern William.

As a result, the door was locked from the inside, and Lin Qingtong couldn't open it at all. Dongfang William stepped closer.

"Anyway, if you just jump down, I'll go with you."

Lin Qingtong stared warily at Dongfang William in front of her. "I advise you to let me go right now. You can't force a relationship."

"I don't like you, and I won't be with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt dizzy, and everything seemed unreal.

William stepped closer, reached out and gently touched Lin Qingtong's cheek, speaking with obsessive madness.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're by my side, that's enough. I'll take you to see my favorite flowers, which are blooming in an incredibly beautiful and vibrant way."

"It is a unique beauty in the world, just like you."

His eyes seemed to hold a deep and intense love, but it sent chills down Lin Qingtong's spine.

This guy is absolutely insane.

Lin Qingtong was unable to say anything more before she fainted.

When she woke up again, she was in a huge room.

Several maids in uniforms stood by the bed, straight and stiff, like robots.

When they saw Lin Qingtong wake up, they bowed to greet her, but even the angle of their bows was the same, as if it had been precisely adjusted.

"Greetings, Master. We are your most loyal servants."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong immediately sat up and warily scanned them.

"What are you doing here? Where are the Eastern Williams?"

The first person to speak was the one who spoke first.

"The gentleman is waiting for you downstairs. Here are your clothes and shoes. Please change them."

The second person brought out the clothes, and the third person carried the shoes. Their movements were mechanical and numb, giving off a slightly eerie feeling.

Lin Qingtong stared at the people in front of her, not wanting to change her clothes.

"You all go out first."

They just nodded, without reacting at all.

Left with no other option, Lin Qingtong could only shout, "Get out of here right now!!"

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and William Dongfang walked in with a faint smile on his lips.

"What's going on? Why are you so angry?"

Lin Qingtong glared at him, annoyed.

"What do you mean by locking me up here? And what do you want with these strange people?"

William walked up to the group and waved, and they walked out.

"Change your clothes, let's sit down and have a proper meal to talk things over."

He leaned slightly forward to look at Lin Qingtong, a smile on his face.

"If you want to know, just do as I say."

He was clearly smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, which revealed a chilling coldness.

Lin Qingtong's heart tightened, and she had no choice but to agree.

After Dongfang William left the room, Lin Qingtong put on her clothes and shoes and went out.

The clothes he prepared were a simple white dress.

When Lin Qingtong went downstairs, she saw the candlelight dinner.

William Dongfang sat in the dim light, gazing at Lin Qingtong.

"Please take a seat."

At this moment, a figure walked over, pulled out a chair, and gestured for Lin Qingtong to sit down.

Lin Qingtong glanced at the person and immediately stopped in her tracks.

She felt that the masked maid looked strangely familiar.

After she sat down, she couldn't help but glance at the masked maid again.

Before she could say anything more, William Dongfang handed her a glass of red wine and smiled warmly as he spoke.

"You've just woken up, have some wine to warm yourself up."

Lin Qingtong ignored him and simply stared coldly at Dongfang William in front of her.

"Can you tell me now?"

William of the East swirled his wine glass with his long, slender fingers and answered with a faint smile.

There's no reason, I just like you.

"After we finish eating, I'll take you for a walk in the garden. I'm sure you'll love it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong instantly recalled something she had heard someone mention before.

William of the East would bury those who offended him in the ground and use their bones to nourish his flowers.

A chill ran down Lin Qingtong's spine, and the next second she thought of her mother, Su Wanjun, and Datong.

Where are my mom and the others?

Her heart tightened suddenly. Her mother's ankle was injured, and Datong's arm was also injured. If they fell into the hands of Dongfang William, things could get very complicated.

William Dongfang stared intently at Lin Qingtong, smiled, and replied.

"If you care about them, do as I say."

Lin Qingtong gritted her teeth, knowing in her heart that Dongfang William was using her mother and Datong to threaten her.

But at this moment, she was trapped here and had no way to resist, so she could only submit for the time being.

So Lin Qingtong picked up her knife and fork and began to eat her steak elegantly.

She didn't drink a drop of red wine after finishing her steak.

William Dongfang didn't mind and led Lin Qingtong to the outer courtyard.

Despite Lin Qingtong's extensive experience, she couldn't help but be amazed when she saw the garden in full bloom.

Pink, white, and purple flowers are scattered romantically and crowdedly throughout the garden, yet they also possess a neat and orderly beauty.
