With a smile on his face, Joseph shouted at the people upstairs, "Have you all slept last night?" "No!" the people above shouted together, their voices loud and deafening. "Have you all had dinner today?" Joseph asked again. "No!" the people above shouted again. Satisfied, Joseph looked at Waverly and said, "They have not slept for 72 hours. The last meal that they ate was at 8 o'clock last night. Do you still think this is unfair to Boris or to my staff? Besides, this is just a friendly competition. What are you worried about? Boris was bought at a price of 5 million dollars, so I won't destroy him so casually." Joseph raised his head with a smile. Seeing his smug look, Waverly thought that he would definitely destroy Boris at will. It made sense. After all, he had money since the Thunder Gun had been sold for three billion dollars. Unfortunately, this was also his territory. Boris took part in the second round of fighting. T
If Joseph's words could be trusted, then even pigs could fly. Waverly sat opposite Joseph, while Boris took a look at them and sat in the seat behind Waverly. "Have I seen you before?" the woman asked Waverly. Waverly looked at her and said, "I'm Waverly. When I was young, I stayed with the Mccarthy family." "Oh, I remember now. You're Joseph's cousin, the daughter of his aunt," the woman raised her smile and held Joseph even tighter. With her face leaning on Joseph's shoulder, she continued, "I once went to the Mccarthy family to play, but you came looking for Joseph angrily and said that he had drawn on your books. Then, you insisted on drawing on Joseph's books too." The woman's words reminded Waverly that there was indeed such a thing. Back then, the first thing she usually did after returning home was to do her homework. When she returned home that day, she had opened her school bag and taken out her exercise book, only to see that every page of
"Start the car," Joseph ordered. "Leave her a bottle of water and a knife. It's too dangerous here," Boris said quickly. Joseph threw a pistol to her, looked straight at her arrogantly and said, "If you fire three shots at the sky, I'll come to pick you up." Boris was shocked. Did he just give her a gun? It meant that he didn't want anything to happen to Waverly. He quickly threw two bottles of water to Waverly, as well as a dagger and a lighter that he always carried with him, "There may be wild beasts at night, so remember to light a fire. If you can, sleep on trees. You will be here for only three days. After three days, you can come back." Waverly nodded. Joseph frowned and looked at her. Why wasn't she begging for mercy? "I thought you would know better, but you're still as foolish as ever," he said coldly. "In front of you, who is smart?" Waverly retorted. "You brought this upon yourself," Joseph said. The do
"I don't think so. She has a gun with her. If she were to be in danger, she could shoot the wild beast. Even if she can't aim properly, we should still hear her gunshots," another man said quickly. Joseph's expression turned grave. He called Joshua and asked, "Did you manage to find her whereabouts?" "No. Actually, this is quite abnormal. As an ordinary person, she should not have received any field training. We are professional people, so how can we not find her?" "Where is Boris? Ask him to answer the phone," Joseph ordered. "Yes, Mr. Mccarthy," Joshua gave the phone to Boris. "Where do you think she went?" Joseph asked directly. Boris paused for three seconds and said, "Didn't she just get out of the car?" "She cut off some of the wires and shot the drone that was following her. My subordinates have been finding her for the whole afternoon, but to no avail. Where do you think she'll be hiding?" Joseph said patiently. "Waverly is a very
"His subordinates are looking for you from below. Did you see them?" "Yes. They are trying to make things difficult for me, right?" Waverly guessed. She slowly laid down, put her hands behind her head, looked at the sky and asked softly, "Do you love your girlfriend?" "I do," Boris said in a deep voice. "Do you love your wife?" "Yes, I do." "You found a new girlfriend, though?" Waverly looked at him. "When I love someone, I will try my best to love her. When I can't love that person anymore, my life will still continue on and there will be other people in my life. I still know how to love other people and that doesn't mean that I don't love my wife anymore anymore, but that I chose to continue living my life." Boris said. "Who do you love more, your wife or your girlfriend?" Waverly asked in a different mood. "I love them both equally. If my wife was still alive, I would not fall in love with other women. However, she died. The love I giv
"You were tricked by him," Waverly said without thinking. "Why would he lie to me? If he wanted to lie, you should be the only one he wanted to lie to. So what if he lied to you? At most, the savings in your bank of emotions would just be consumed. It's not really a big deal," Boris said. Waverly sat up. Although what Boris said seemed to be quite unthinkable, it sounded reasonable. She was also in a much better mood than when she had been alone. She no longer felt as self-deprecating, desperate and as aggrieved as before. "Are we going back now?" Waverly asked. "When we came here, I saw that there was no signal on the cell phone. This area must have been set up with a special jammer so that only a specific signal can be transmitted. However, there is signal now." "So?" Waverly failed to understand what Boris meant. "Joseph said that if I find you, I have to call him. He must have got rid of the jammer for you," Boris said. "I
As noble as Joseph was, he was still a person who was wild and arrogant. Despite that, he was kneeling in front of her in front of so many people. She panicked and her heart fluttered. She was scared and nervous. Would he suddenly flip her over? Or would he pinch her feet hard? Or perhaps in the next second, he would make her suffer a fate worse than death? He untied her 'shoes' and saw the blood stains on her great toe. He gently held her foot and said, "Your toe got scraped. Are you stupid? In the jungle, if your foot has cuts, bacterial infection can easily happen." Her feet were incredibly dirty. She felt embarrassed and wanted to pull her leg out of Joseph's grasp, but he held onto it tightly. She explained, "I was wearing high heels before, so it was difficult to walk in the jungle. The best way for me to walk was with sandals made from grass. They were quite cool too." "You're better off being my woman. If you serve me well, I can
"You don't want to say anything, do you?" said Joseph with a serious look. "I was thinking about what someone once said. He said that if a man faces a young and beautiful girl for a few hours, hours fly past as fast as several minutes. However, when he meets with an old man, hours would feel as long as days," Waverly said. Joseph furrowed his brow, "Are you comparing me to Bellamy?" "When I was a child, they all said that you were smart, especially our grandfather. He liked you a lot, but I couldn't accept it. I didn't think you were smart. I just thought that you were pretending to be smart to get their love and attention. I thought that I had to prove that I was smarter than you, so I did better than you in exams and also polished all of my skills, but I was still stumped. They still loved you more than they loved me. That love was given to you not because of your strengths, but because it was you," Waverly recalled. She slowly leaned on his knee and looked up at hi
