Outside the campervan.In a hidden place a large distance away, two black cars were stopped there. Their dark colors helped blend them into the darkness of the night.A bodyguard wearing all black walked over to the last car and politely said to the person behind the door. “The doors and windows are all locked. They can forget about opening it from the inside.”“And the mobile?”Grace raised her eyebrow, wanting to make sure that everything was alright.“Don’t worry, miss,” The bodyguard said confidently. “Grant’s mobile is with us, and I’ve set up a signal jammer near his campervan. Even if Melanie has her mobile or any other communication devices, she won’t be able to ask for help with them. I can guarantee that Melanie won’t be able to get out of Grant’s campervan tonight!”“Good!”Grace’s lips curved into a smug and venomous smile.-Inside Grant’s campervan, Melanie quickly calmed down and told Grant what she saw earlier.“So... The reason you came looking for me is beca
“Do you know how hard a diamond is? And that it can be used to cut glass?”Melanie stood up and said, “While we don’t have a hammer, we still have cups, plates, a water bottle and my phone. We can use these to hit the van window, but the window is very touch; without something hard to act as a focal point, it won’t work.”“I understand now!”Grant was regaining some of his confidence after listening to her. He then did as Melanie said and used the diamond to carve out a cross on the window, and then kept on increasing the depth of that cross.After a while, Grant looked at the crack on the glass and said, “It’s almost ready. We can try to hit it with something.”Melanie stopped him. “Wait.”“What for?”“We’ve just been locked in here, so Grace’s people must be observing us from the surroundings. Wait for a little. We can continue once they believe that we’re out of options.”Grant nodded. “You think of everything.”And then, the two of them sat down, both feeling embarrassed i
Melanie was stunned for a second.She felt that her emotions were running faster than her brain was. It was the first time that she had ever felt something sting her heart like that.Jeffrey thought that she must’ve really been shocked by him, considering how she was looking at him with wide eyes and a tense body. He couldn’t help but say in a gentler manner, “It’s fine. That snake isn’t venomous...”“Yeah.”Melanie pursed her lips tightly and grabbed onto his powerful arm instinctively.Jeffrey was also stunned for a second. This was the first time that he’d ever had a woman lean on him so much. He stopped for a little before holding her up.Even through two layers of fabrics, she could still sense his strong, beating heart and warm chest. He was making her feel so safe that she instinctively wanted to get closer, and she threw her arms around her neck as she stayed in his arms.Jeffrey smiled instinctively and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital.”Melanie suddenly
Originally, Madam Morgan had something she wanted to say to Melanie, but she realized that she might have interrupted the two youths with their business. She quickly waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing! Well... You two can continue!”“Grandmother, what are you thinking about?” Jeffrey asked in a serious tone.“It’s not as important as your business. Please, do continue! Bye!” With that, she hung up.Nothing could be more important than her getting a grandchild!“Oh, that old lady...”When Jeffrey saw Melanie hang up, he tried to ease the atmosphere between them. “Grace and her men are all under my control now. What do you want to do with them?”Melanie gave it a thought and said, “Don’t alert them for the time being. Let them be.”Jeffrey was slightly shocked. “You mean, you want to let them go?”“Of course not.” Melanie narrowed her eyes.“What are you up to, then?” Jeffrey asked curiously.“She’s always up to her old tricks.”Jeffrey thought about it for a moment before
“Um... Wear your seatbelt.”Melanie moved her head away, trying her best to stop things from becoming awkward.Jeffrey looked at the redness on her cheeks with interest as he straightened his posture.“Do you want to know what I was wishing for?” he took the initiative to ask.Melanie realized that his tone was a teasing, seductive one. She didn’t want to fall into the trap, and so she simply closed her eyes. “If you say your wish out loud, it won’t come true. Anyway, I’m sleepy. I’m going to bed.”Jeffrey couldn’t help but smile without much reservation as she pretended to sleep.Melanie had only intended to feign sleeping, but in the end she really did end up falling asleep. She only woke up when she had finally reached the hospital.The doctor checked her wounds, after which he told them that the snake was venomous. Her sprain was also not that serious. As for the wound, there was no need to worry after it was treated.Since it was already quite late, and Melanie looked tir
High-fashion. Big brand. They were all focusing on things that didn’t matter much.Melanie frowned slightly. Whenever socialites like these, who only focused on material objects, gathered together, she could feel the chill in the air, as if an eerie wind had just blown over.Melanie didn’t want to join their strange little circle. She didn’t want to become as crazy as them.However, since Grace wanted to instigate something, Melanie had no choice but to continue the conversation. “I believe those of you who were properly educated would know what true nobility means, so I won’t be wasting my breath.”“Of course. We do know what true nobility means because we’re born noble; we don’t need you to tell us about it,” Grace continued with a forceful tone. “Don’t change the topic. We’re just very curious. What brand is the dress you’re wearing? Why don’t you just tell us?”Grace, however, refused to let it go. Melanie could also see that the others were only interested in this topic, and
Madam Morgan was just about to leave with her old friends but she immediately stopped when she heard Grace’s accusation toward Melanie, and her focus was once again turned to them.“Grant doesn’t really care much about romance. I never heard anything about him being interested in any woman all these years,” someone said with reservations.However, Grace smiled confidently and said, “I’m not lying. Do you know about the ‘Beauty Star’ diamond ring that was recently made in South Africa? Grant bought it from the auction. And the reason he bought it is because he wants to give it to Melanie as he heard that she loves stars!”“Really?”“If you don’t believe me, you can check if Grant did buy the Beauty Star,” Grace said confidently.There was a change in Madam Morgan’s expression.Grace knew that Madam Morgan didn’t like women that were too open in their relationship, and she pressed on, “Last night, Melanie and Grant even watched the meteor shower together. They even camped together
When all of them heard what Melanie said, all the ones that loved to gossip instantly took out their mobiles and browsed the news, worried that they would be left behind.Grace did the same as she checked her own, trying to hide her nervousness, so that she wouldn’t look so concerned.However, no matter how she hid it, it was useless. The news was just too shocking. It was so shocking that it immediately replaced the little slander that she had thrown at Melanie.Everyone was enjoying the news despite already being late.#ANoblewomanAndHerBodyguardInTheWildThe expose had just been posted on the web, and it was already the third most searched story in less than three minutes. Its ranking was poised to go up.Once they checked the news, they all realized that the so-called “noblewoman” was the daughter of Duke Wilhelm who had been reminding them of her existence, Grace!There were photos of intimacy between her and the bodyguard dressed in black as they sat in a car in the wilds
