If Suzanne Trent initially didn't know what kind of scheme Nicholas Trent had in mind.
It wasn't until the next afternoon when she was released from the attic again. She hadn't eaten anything the night before, and they still didn't insist on her eating. The two bodyguards just threw her into the car.
They really threw her.
Because she indeed hadn't eaten or drunk at the Trent Family's house for two days, she had no energy to struggle.
But after being taken to a private room in a hotel in Philadelphia, she could guess what her biological father wanted to do.
Refusing food and drink at the Trent's wasn't her stubbornly tormenting herself, but because this family had no bottom line, and given past examples, she couldn't be sure if the food and drink were clean, so she wouldn't eat.
