Chapter 221
Naomi lowered her head and muttered softly yet defiantly, “… I could’ve handled it…”
She could have escaped by threatening Scott, but it would be a risk
“You could have handled it? Hah!” Jack snickered. He was infuriated to no end by Naomi.
“If I didn’t arrange for someone to follow you… If I didn’t rush over, what would have happened today? Who was the one who almost died in the fire the last time?”
“You sent someone to follow me?” Naomi looked up at Jack in disbelief. She only heard the words ‘follow you’ from the entire sentence. “Why did you send someone to follow me? What right do you have to do that?” Naomi’s heart sank. Previously, when Lilian set her up, she sent someone to follow her and control her like a puppet. Naomi hated to be followed by someone the most! She hated to be controlled by others!
That stupid Daddy was doing that to her at that moment! She thought he was different from others. Turns out, he was no different than the rest of them!
Looking at Naomi’s hurt expression, Jack’s pupils constricted. He explained in a strange tone,” L…I’m trying to protect you. My enemies recently,”
“Don’t think so highly of yourself!” Naomi curtly interrupted him. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
“You’re just afraid that I’ll expose your secret. You’re keeping it from me! You don’t trust me!”
“I don’t have any distrust…”
“Then, tell me! Why are you hurt?! Why do you recover so quickly?! Tell me!”
Naomi suddenly yelled hysterically. She reached out and shoved him.
Jack had been extremely tense since the night before. Then, all his senses suddenly snapped! The next second, his eyes reddened eerily. He suddenly raised his fist!
Thud!
Naomi’s eyes widened!
Jack’s punch brought forth a cool breeze past her ears. He made a hole in the wall next to her!
Naomi stiffened. Her mouth gaped in disbelief, looking at Jack His eyes looked like he came
from hell!
“Don’t you dare judge me with a higher moral ground!” Jack sneered.
He took Naomi’s hand by force and pressed them on his chest. Naomi felt a warm feeling on her hand. It was blood seeping out from his wound!
Naomi wanted to retract her hands in reflex, but Jack held her hand even tighter, pressing it back in!
He was in so much pain he let out a muffled grunt!
“No
Naomi yelled with a trembling voice. Jack did not care at all. He merely sneered condescendingly
“An injury like that is a piece of cake for me. Kid, my world is constantly filled with blood!”
Al that, Jack suddenly went in closer to Naomi. His monstrous-looking expressions were instantly magnified in front of Naomi. His deep eyes were like a void that could swallow her whole
“Do you want to know my secret? Do you truly want to know me? Are you ready?”
Naomi instantly paled. When she heard such terrifying words. Her brain froze!
“I don’t know!”
She struggled and broke free from his clutches. Then, she turned and ran toward the road! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Behind her, Jack’s low voice rang out. “I’ll give you a day to think about it. Once you’ve decided, come and find me.”
Jack stood in the same spot, looking at Naomi fleeing. However, he did not chase after her.
At that moment, he had already given Naomi the right to choose. “Sir!”
Sean ran over, panting. He looked at Naomi’s car driving away. He sighed helplessly.
“Philip and Daniel are here. They’re waiting for you at the old place.”
Jack retracted his gaze and walked directly to the Rolls-Joyce. “Let’s go.” “Yes!”
In the middle of the bustling Gin City lay a quiet courtyard house.
The old gate had been converted into a black marble invisible door. The decor inside was designed in a Styrian style with an assorted armory. There were even a few gaming machines.
A row of camouflage-patterned wine racks was placed on one side of the hallway. The books on the shelves by the sides were not on international trade but military.
Since Jack left Royal City for Gin City, he built the place as their old gathering spot. In the living area, Jack held a wine glass and leaned back on the sofa. His depressing aura suffocated the entire area.
“The last time I saw you this nervous was twelve years ago when you took part in the organization’s exam.”
