The large and burly bodyguard expressionless stood in front of Susie.“Sir, this is East Emperor! What are you trying to do? No matter what you want to do, no one can do as they please here at East Emperor.”She did not panic. After all, this was East Emperor, and that fact was her biggest advantage.Mr. Denham hesitated as well. He had heard of East Emperor’s reputation even down in the south.All of a sudden, someone walked into the room and whispered something into Mr. Denham’s ear. The latter’s look of wariness immediately turned taunting. “Miss Thompson, I heard tell. You’re an outcast here at East Emperor, someone not under the protection of East Emperor.”Susie instantly remembered what Alora said that day, and her face immediately turned pale. She was properly panicked this time. “Y-You, stay away from me.”“Don’t be afraid, Miss Thompson. We’re not going to do anything to you. We just want you to perform something for us.”“Perform what?”“You’ll know once my old friend
Mr. Denham looked at the woman in front of him and frowned. “Too ugly.”Susie’s heart pounded. Those two words were enough to make her very nervous.Never before had she wished so badly that Jane looked at least a bit more presentable to others.If Mr. Denham thought she was too ugly, would that not mean that Susie would be the one in trouble in the end?Susie peeked at the transparent cabinet-like container carefully. The water inside was already more than a meter tall. She hurriedly told M
Would it… count?No. No, wait.Erhai. Luka. That gentle girl did not save Jane’s life so that Jane would repay her this way.What about their Erhai dream? She had not fulfilled it yet. She could not… give up!Hence, Jane used the last of her strength to wave her fists, slamming them into the walls of the container as she said, “Save me… Gurgle gurgle…”All of her “save me”s turned into a long stream of bubbles, gurgling from her mouth. “Save… Gurgle gurgle…” Her vision was starting to blur,
Even as he yelled at Mr. Denham, Sean never stopped swinging his mop. He never gave up on destroying the container!Sean attacked the container like a man possessed by the devil.On a freeway five thousand meters away from East Emperor, a Maserati racecar was flying by at 120km/h. The windows were down, and the wind blew outside the car, drowning out the voices of the people in the car.Vaguely, the driver in the front seat said hesitantly, “Are you sure this is okay, Mr. Soros? That containe
Susie choked on the water too, her tears and snot flowing as she coughed. For a second there, she thought she would drown!“Help... Cough cough cough…” she cried, her voice tender in her pain, but everyone ignored her.The water threw the room door open, surging into the corridor.Jane’s body floated like a reed on the water, going wherever the water took her. A large hand scooped her out of the calf-high water, the man pulling the motionless woman into his embrace.The water flowed out of t
Her chin hurt suddenly, and a handsome face suddenly approached hers. “Look closely. Who am I?”The cold voice and that familiar scent in her face immediately cleared Jane’s mind a lot more. “Why are you…”“Why am I here?” Sean did not give Jane a chance to complete that sentence at all, his lips curving into a cold smile. “Do you have to ask? Don’t you know that one of my hobbies is seeing you tormented?”Next to him, Uno gave a jolt, his gaze sweeping across his master’s right hand.Drip d
She was furious, so furious that she nearly forgot about her lowliness. Nevertheless, she… She was still the same Jane Dunn with nothing left to her name but this battered and broken body. She was as lowly and powerless as ever!"What right do I have, you ask?" He smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He had every right, because he was the one who saved the life she had put at risk! … His heart burned with fury, but his eyes were bone-chillingly cold. "I have every right, because I'm
The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Sean carried Jane horizontally as he raced out of the elevator. He ran straight into his room and placed her on the large bed, immediately reaching out to take off her wet clothes. He undid her buttons one at a time. Did this woman always wear so much clothing, even on such a hot day?By the time his index finger landed on the third long-sleeved innerwear, he was utterly perplexed. Who would wear a long-sleeved cotton undergarment meant for the autum
