Lin Yao gazed at the elegantly smiling photo on the computer, muttering as if entranced.
These should have all been hers...
Lin Yao softly repeated the words he just said, as if they were hammering into her mind, replaying relentlessly.
The fear that once filled her eyes gradually vanished, replaced by a seething, spreading venom.
"Such a good girl..."
Joe watched Lin Yao's reaction with satisfaction, reached out gently to smooth the loose strands of Lin Yao's hair, comforting her softly beside her ear.
"Good girl, as long as you obey, I'll make sure everything is prepared for you..."
Joe spoke tenderly in a low voice to Lin Yao under him.
"I will be very good... everything will be mine..."
Under his influence, Lin Yao seemed to lose consciousness, merely repeating these two sentences.
Her eyes became increasingly clouded, devoid of any focus.
Lin Yao stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her, mumbling incessantly to herself.
