Chapter 21
Oarlan’s POV
“Hyman, you should know that now that I’m here, the Hill family has something to do with this matter, no matter whether it was you or not, the Hill family. If the president can come back safe and sound, then everything will be fine. If not… Do you know the consequences?” I played with the teacup in my hand and threatened.
“Oarlan, you don’t have to scare me. I have told you that I don’t know about it. You wronged a good person, didn’t you?” Hyman rolled eyes and refused to admit it.
“A good man?” I smiled, “Your daugher, does she also think so?”
Hearing this, Hyman’s expression changed abruptly. “What did you do to my daughter?”
“She’s in KTV now, and there are more than a dozen men taking care of her. She’s fine. Don’t worry about her safety.” I picked up the teacup in front of me and took a sip. “It’s really good tea.”
“Oarlan, come at me. Don’t hurt my daughter.” He stood up from the chair excitedly, trembling with anger.
” Oh, by the way, I heard that you have an illegitimate child who is more than five years old outside. Where does he live? Is it the Sea Garden?” I said with a smile.
Glancing at Hyman’s pale face, I checked the time on my watch, “Oh, it’s late now. What’s Hyman’s decision? Let her go, or take your whole family to the end? Mr. Edmund said that if you could wake up in time and make up for it, at least he could guarantee that your parents wouldn’t be involved. If you are obsessed with it, don’t blame him for being rude. If the King family has lost him, there will be other inheritors. But the first thing for the heir to be in power must clear The Hill family. ”
His face had turned scarlet, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
At this time, his phone, which had been lying quietly on the table, rang.
Hyman took a look at the caller ID and was shocked.
I also saw the change of his expression, so I deliberately said, “Hyman, don’t you answer the phone?”
He had no choice but to take the phone with a trembling hand.
“Hey, it’s me. Let me ask you, can this person move or not?” A rough male voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Don’t… don’t touch…” Hyman said hurriedly.
“Okay, that’s what you said. You have to pay for it.”
“Okay, I know.” Hyman said and hung up the phone.
After he answered the phone, I showed a satisfied smile. ” I’m glad that you have thought it through.”
“What will Mr. Edmund do to me?” He seemed to accept his fate.
“Well, it’s hard to say. Because you drugged him, Mr. Edmund planned to buy the Hill group at a reasonable price for the sake of your grandfather. But now you are so depressed and make a kidnapping. If I were you, I would immediately go abroad with my family and hide far away from them. I would never step into the country again.” I gave a very reliable suggestion.
“Go abroad? But my father is in such a situation now. There are so many people in our family, and the foundation of the Hill family is all in City X…” he pulled a long face.
“Nothing is more important than your life, right?” I left the last piece of advice and stood up to leave.
Edmund’s POV
The tattooed man hung up the phone, turned to the yellow hair and shook his head.
“What should we do now? If we let them go, all our efforts will be in vain. What if Hyman doesn’t give us the money in the end? How about we kidnap them and blackmail them for some money?” The yellow haired man suggested.
The tattooed man’s eyes lit up and looked up at me. “Mr. Edmund, if we let you two go like this, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing? People will laugh at us if the news spreads.”
“How much do you want? Tell me.” I sneered and asked.
“No, that’s all.” As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers.
“I just keep sneering.
The tattooed man shivered. He thought for a while and changed it to three fingers.
“Aren’t you afraid that you will have no life to take the money and spend it?” Who am I, Edmund? How dare you blackmail me for money.
“How much do you think? We have spent so much effort to get you two here. We can’t lose money, can we?” The tattooed man said with a bitter face.
“I can give you some money.” I stared at the tattooed man in front of me. “But you have to tell me who made her hand.”
Leanna’s POV
I didn’t expect that he would have time to pay attention to my red and swollen hand in such a situation. For some reason, I feel warm in my heart. The grievance that I was kidnapped because of him disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by his gratitude to save me regardless of his safety.
“Sir… Sir…” The yellow haired man could tell that Edmund was going to settle accounts with him, so he poked the tattooed man’s arm with his elbow secretly.
The tattooed man was kind and said, “well, forget it. We don’t need the money. You can go now.”
Ignoring them, Edmund lowered his head and asked, “tell me, who did it?”
I opened my mouth, hesitated and looked at the yellow haired man.
“Yes, it’s… I stepped on it by accident, okay?” At this time, the culprit took the initiative to stand out.
“By accident?” Edmund frowned and asked doubtfully, “is that so?”
I just want to leave this place as soon as possible. I don’t want to cause any trouble again, so I nodded and said, “forget it. Mr. Edmund, they didn’t do anything to me. Don’t pursue it anymore.”
“Okay.” He promised, turned around and walked out with me in his arms.
I leaned against his chest and looked at his cold and handsome side face. I was a little relieved. The corners of my mouth slightly upward. “Mr. Edmund, thank you for saving me.”
“Honey, I’m sorry to scare you.” His tone was rare gentle, and his voice was low, as if he was afraid of scaring me again.
When I was taken back to the club, I was so frightened and exhausted that I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I found that I was still in Edmund’s bed with infusion stick on the back of my hand.
“Miss Leanna, you are awake.” The nurse in white came to help me up as soon as she saw me awake.
“How long have I slept?” I looked at the nurse blankly.
“Thirteen hours. Mr. Edmund is outside. I’ll call him.” Then she turned around and walked out of the room.
I lowered my head and found that I had already changed my clothes. I didn’t bother to think about who helped me change my clothes. I tidied up my messy hair and turned over to get out of bed.
“I’m up.” Edmund walked in.
When I saw him again, my heart beat faster all of a sudden, and my face turned red. I avoided eye contact with him and didn’t dare to look at his face.
I nodded slightly, lowered my eyes and whispered, “thank you for what you did yesterday.”
“Are you feeling better?”
“No, I feel much better.” As I answered, there was a sudden “coo” in my stomach.
I haven’t eaten anything for two days. I’m already very hungry.
At this moment, Edmund heard. Immediately, my face flushed with shyness, and my head was almost buried in his chest.
“Come out and eat something. I’ve ordered something for you.” Edmund smiled and turned to the living room.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I patted my face and scolded myself for not doing well. Why couldn’t I put up with it and have to scream in front of him?
What a shame!!
After dinner, I went back to my room, changed my work clothes and went back to the living room. When I was about to continue my work as a housekeeper, I heard Oarlan reporting something to Edmund.
I wanted to avoid it subconsciously, but I vaguely heard that Oarlan’s report seemed to have something to do with me, so I couldn’t help standing aside and listening.
“Are you sure it’s her?” Edmund’s face was cold and his eyes were cruel.
“I’ve found out that the person who exposed the identity of Miss Leanna on the Internet was Venus.” Oarlan said firmly.
“Do they have a personal grudge against each other?” Edmund asked.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“As far as I know, there was no personal enmity before you came.”
“What do you mean?” Edmund frowned.
“Well… Maybe it’s because the job of being a housekeeper for you was originally Venus, but you chose Miss Leanna, so she felt unfair. That’s why…” Oarlan explained carefully.
Edmund sneered, turned to look at me who was eavesdropping in the corner and ordered, “come here!”
I was startled when he found me. I followed him and walked up to him. I lowered my head and didn’t dare to look at his face.
“Did you hear everything?” Edmund asked.
I nodded slightly. I did hear everything. And I didn’t expect that Venus would hate me so much.
In order to defeat me, she even exposed my personal information online.
So the investigation team will come to me so soon.
“What do you think we should do?” Edmund looked at me and asked.
I looked up at him, at a loss.
How to deal with it?
I don’t know. I have never thought about it.
“Do you want to take revenge?”
“I… I don’t know…” the truth came so suddenly that I haven’t digested it yet.
“It’s useless!” Edmund turned to Oarlan and asked, “do you know how to deal with it?”
“Got it.” Oarlan nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, I looked at the two people in front of me in confusion. “What… What are you going to do?”
“What? Are you going to plead for her?” Oarlan asked.
“I…” I opened my mouth and couldn’t bear it. “After all, I’m fine now. Can you just let it go?”
“No way!” Edmund rejected my proposal decisively.
“Miss Leanna, you have to make it clear that the reason why you can stay here today is not because Venus hasn’t hurt you enough, but because the CEO has cancelled all the things in City Y and rushed to save you…” Oarlan said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
“Oarlan!” Edmund stopped him.
It never occurred to me that I could get rid of the investigation team because of Edmund.
Thinking of that he didn’t even care about his own safety in order to save me later, I suddenly had a strong feeling for him, which was a sense of security being protected.
I have never had such a feeling since I was sensible.
Because I have to take care of Hannah who is sick, I often play the role of a guardian.
But now, the man in front of me who has nothing to do with me actually helped me several times, which made me feel very warm and relieved.
“Thank you…” apart from these two words, I didn’t know what else to say to express my gratitude to him.
