The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 272 - Best Cupid

Bella let out a sigh inwardly as she listened to Gabriel and Sarah argue back and forth. The two seem to have forgotten that they were taken captive and are now adamant on hurting each other using their words.

She listened as Sarah’s tone changed. The gentleness that she always showed to everyone vanished. Her sharp tongue and mean personality suddenly came out. It was as if Gabriel’s presence made her forget all the etiquette classes that Daniel asked her to take abroad.

"Since this is your fault then you should find ways to get us out of here!" Gabriel hissed.

"Gabriel, are you still a man? We are all tied up! How could I stand and walk to find ways to get us out of here? If you really wanted to leave, then use your own strength to do it! What a coward."

"Coward? Did you — Did you just call me a coward? Am I the one who is afraid that the world will judge me? Am I the one who is afraid that my family will abandon me if I let them know my real feelings? Sarah Qin! Don’t you dare talk about being a coward with me! You know! You, yourself know who is the real coward here!"

"You— "

"What?" Gabriel exploded. He was only trying to help them out. And yet this woman was — how ungrateful! "I what!? Did I say something wrong? You and your Qin family are — " It was as if a demon possessed Gabriel as he said everything that happened in the past. He wasn’t someone who loves to talk, but his frustration got the best of him.

"You — You — " Sarah tearfully gulped all the words she wanted to say. The Qin Family — her family actually made this man suffer? "I didn’t do that! Gabriel! How could you frame me like this? I never said that — I never asked my family to — " she wanted to squeeze those words out of her mouth as realization slowly hit her. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured inside her soul as tears started flowing from her eyes.

All the years of resentment that was hidden, buried deep within her heart, flowed inside her like hot lava, ready to destroy everything within its path. "Why didn’t you asked m?"

"Asked what?"

"How come you didn’t ask me!? Gabriel Ting! I didn’t send those letter! I didn’t ask my family to harm you! Why would I do that?"

Bella smiled inwardly when she heard those words. Ah, finally these two people blurted out everything! She patted her back inwardly. Isn’t she genius? First, she created a stressful environment for the two. She used herself, making it look like she was harmed to make Sarah remove all the walls that she had. Seeing her sister got harmed because of her only added more pressure on Sarah’s mind.

Then there was the angry Gabriel.

With Gabriel’s sharp words, Sarah finally lost control and showed her true colors.

’Hey, Robot! You should praise me.’ Bella said. ’I am just the smartest.’

’Host is a good schemer.’ The system’s voice echoed inside her mind.

’Host is a good schemer.’

’Host is a good schemer.’

’Host is a good schemer.’

’Host is a good schemer.’

’Stop! What are you doing? Why do you keep repeating those words for?’ she asked, irritated. This robot is truly weird. However, she didn’t receive any answer. ’Hey! Don’t tell me you are broken? Are you suffering from some brain shortage?’ she asked. Meanwhile, Sarah and Gabriel are turned silent.

Sarah was sobbing while Gabriel just maintained his silence. No one knows what they were thinking about. However, Bella doesn’t care about this. She just sat there, relaxed while talking to her system in her mind. Now that the misunderstanding between the two had been cleared up, all she can do now is wait.

It would be too obvious if she tried to help one of them out. Of course, Bella already showed her support for Gabriel’s candidacy. Sooner or later, the two would finally reconcile and she would finish her mission.

Ah, she could already smell the coins that she would earn from this.

"You two..." Bella finally spoke. "Instead of thinking of ways to get out, you are too focused on your own emotions." She calmly sighed.

"Elder sister..." Sarah sobbed. "I’m sorry."

"No need to be sorry. We don’t really know that this would happen. In the future, you should learn more martial arts so you can protect yourself. I will leave the country with my husband so I can’t help you in case someone will kidnap you again." Bella said, her tone was light.

Gabriel didn’t say anything, but he feels that there was something wrong with Bella’s words.

"Elder sister, stop mocking me. This is my fault. I know that Daniel has a lot of enemies and I was still so careless."

"Hmmm." Bella nodded. "At least you know that you are careless. Don’t worry too much, I am confident that Mo Li can find us. Plus, Mr. And Mrs. Qin would surely try to find you too and there is that Daniel. Though, I am certain that he won’t save me, but still." Bella pursed her lips as she paused. Since it was dark, Sarah couldn’t really see her facial expression.

"Why would Daniel — Elder sister did he do something to you?" Sarah was not dumb, when she heard those words, she immediately knew that Daniel is once again trying to control the people around her again.

"Sister, let’s not talk about this matter anymore," Bella said. "It’s all in the past. I just... misspoke just now."

"No! I want to know what happened! Did he threaten you to stay away from me? Did he tried to— "

"So this isn’t the first time that it happened?" Bella interrupted her. She didn’t deny nor confirmed but her words were enough to make Sarah think about the past.

"He— "

"Sarah, I don’t mean to interfere in your affairs, but I am your sister. We haven’t seen each other for years. I can’t just stay away from you."

Once again silence descended in the room. However, this time, Bella could smell anger from the woman next to her. It was as if, Sarah changed into another person in a matter of minutes!

Too scary! Making the protagonist angry is scary as they are blessed by the heavens.

The loud thunder interrupted the heavy atmosphere. Almost immediately the pitter-patter sound of rain echoed. Then purple lighting lit the skies. Because of this, Bella discovered that they are inside a small room. It was not clean nor dirty. But it was obvious from the smell of the room that no one had been using this place. Aside from a small rug on the wooden floor, there was nothing else inside the room.

Bella adjusted her gaze and looked at the window that was covered with wood. Obviously, those people tried to cover the window by using those woods. Soon another lightning lit the sky again, followed by the loud booming thunder.

"Sarah... are you alright?" Gabriel said when the woman trembled. He had been watching towards Sarah’s direction, so when the lightning lit up, he immediately saw her pale appearance. She was trembling.

"I— "

"She is scared of the thunder," Bella explained. "Can you remove the zip ties in our hands? I think no was outside. We haven’t heard anyone walking around and the lightning was enough to tell us that we aren’t in any bas.e.m.e.nt."

"My belt," Gabriel said. "But I can’t take it. My hands are — " They actually tied his hands behind him.

"Sarah you do it!"

"Huh?"

"I am still a little weak from the slap earlier. " Bella immediately said.

"Oh! Oh... yes... let me do it. " Bella secretly smiled as she waited for them to remove the belt so she could try to use the metal part of the belt to cut her ties. She heard the two struggled for a while, but she didn’t care. She just calmly sat there and listened to the rain. Right now, Bella felt particularly good. She felt that being a cupid wasn’t that bad at all.

"Elder sister... here," Sarah said as she used her feet to pass the belt to Bella.

"Alright, let’s hope that this is enough to cut the ties." Just like Gabriel, those people also tied Bella’s hands behind her. After a few minutes of struggling on her own, Bella failed.

She failed!

Of course, she could do other things like getting the knife in her space and use it to cut her ties. But she wouldn’t do that.

"Let me do it," the male lead suddenly said.

"Alright." Bella immediately agreed. This is something that the male lead should do to get the praise of the beauty. "You try it," Bella said. Ah, isn’t she just the best cupid in this world?
