Facing the masked woman's doubts, Christian kept calm and wasn't influenced by it at all. "It was a complete shamble just now and we got separated. I have left a message to them. After they see it, they will catch up with us."If he weren't that tough-minded, the masked women must have seen through him.Christian was so calm that the masked woman didn't notice that he wasn't White, but she still had an air of uncertainty about him. She followed Christian and walked towards the headmost car. From time to time, she glared at Jessica who was walking with them.Jessica ignored her.They stood in front of the headmost car door. The masked woman glanced at Jessica discontentedly after she noticed that Jessica followed Christian closely. The masked woman objected, "Is it necessary for us to sit in the same car with her?""If we are blocked by Maddox Group's men on the way and she is in our car, will our chance to live be higher? What's your opinion?" Christian refuted calmly. The masked

Though intended to take their measure, the masked woman's every question sounded fairly reasonable. This woman was quite astute.After giving it some thought with a sepulchral look in his eyes, Christian said to the masked woman, "Pull over. We'll find somewhere to get some rest and wait for them while we're at it."Abandoning his men when on the run, without doubt, was something White scorned to do.Christian couldn't forsake his subordinates either. Although the larger the group, the greater the risk of blowing his cover, he had no other choice.The masked woman found a spot ahead and stopped the car without a word.At the sight of the car at their head pulling over, the men in the other cars followed suit, got out and walked over, waiting for further instructions in silence.Christian, emanating a commanding air of leadership, gave some orders and with that some underlings promptly volunteered to contact local forces, check out the lay of the land and find a suitable place for

Christian had the belt of his bathrobe loosely fastened, leaving a small part of his chest showing, looking so casual and languid as though he were in his own bedroom.Though on the run and under great pressure, he was still emanating a powerful brooding air which deterred people from defying him.His eyes lifted and flashed at the furious masked woman, the sharp contours of his chin under the mask etched with flintiness.The sight of Christian's reaction antagonized the masked woman even further. "White! I'm not gonna ask about the history between you and this woman, but have you any idea what kind of situation we're faced with? If you sleep with her in these circumstances, what will your men think of you? And how will you retain your command?!""Are you questioning my ability to keep my men in line?!"Christian abruptly lifted his narrowed eyes and fixed the indignant masked woman with a stare.At the sight of the drastic change in Christian's countenance, the masked woman's at

Jessica had psyched herself up some time ago, knowing that the masked woman was guaranteed to get hysterical.At this point in time, this masked woman had no room in her mind for anything except her relations with White, which showed that she was indeed in love with White.This was the very key fact that she, Jessica, should take advantage of!All women tend to be blind to reason when in love, especially those being tortured by unrequited love.Jessica turned to look the cocky masked woman in the face and asked, "What do you think?"There was no outsider present, and neither was there anybody to protect Jessica, so the masked woman, having no reason to restrain her anger anymore, took a step forward and lifted her hand. "I can't believe Christian's wife is so shameless as to sleep with another man behind his back! I'll skin you alive!"The next second, Jessica gripped the masked woman's raised hand.Jessica had been on full alert since the moment she'd entered this room, all her

Both Jessica and Christian perceived that something was amiss, and almost in the same instant, a sudden crunch of feet on withered leaves issued from the tussock behind the giant ball of flames.Before any of them could react, a bunch of men in black dashed out from behind the tussock grass, hooded and masked. It was impossible to see their features, but every one of them was holding a wicked-looking dagger!The couple of underlings at the front lunged forward and started a melee with those masked men, but those men were quite ferocious and soon broke through the surrounding circle and closed in on Christian.Christian gave a clean roundhouse kick which forced the masked men into backing off.And then, taking advantage of the opportunity, Christian conveniently threw Jessica a few feet away with a swing of his arm before he aimed a jumping kick at another masked man, thwarting his attack.About a second later, before Jessica could regain her balance, Christian gripped her wrist ag
