《Get A Baby After First Date》 Chapter 1 Midnight (Part One) Chapter 1 Midnight (Part One) The clock was just about to strike 12 midnight when she hit the bar. Era Xu was sporting a mini skirt as she waved her chestnut curly hair. The bright lights on the dance floor were flickering constantly, and her ck silk gloves were slipping along the edge of the ss. Today was actually her 18th birthday. And it was such a lonely, but rather extravagant night. Since her mother¡¯s passing four years ago, nobody had ever remembered her birthday anymore. What was worse, her father just couldn''t wait to bring his mistress home. As a matter of fact, it had barely even been a month since Era Xu''s mother passed away when the mistress moved into the Xu family along with her daughter. As she looked back, tears started welling up in Era''s eyes. It left such a bitter taste that it almost ruined her delicate smoky eye makeup. To try to hold back the tears that were about to fall, she hurriedly closed her eyes. Before her mother left her, she told Era that she must do her best to endure the pain in her heart and keep smiling even when she''s no longer around to protect her. She did as her mother asked. In these past couple of years, she managed to keep smiling no matter what. She kept smiling even when her sister, who was only three months younger than her, took away her borately decorated room, all of her favorite clothes, and even her boyfriend, whom she grew up together with. ''Mom was right. You can¡¯t call yours what others can easily take away.'' As she was deep in thought, a man in his twenties was making his way through the crowd toward Era Xu. She hadn''t caught his eye until just now. He walked over and turned her around, and then his handsome face leaned in closer very slowly. Era Xu couldn¡¯t really hold her liquor that well, so when she felt alcohol kicking in, she lost her bnce and grabbed onto the man''s neck unconsciously. Seeing this, the man felt so thrilled with her response. So, he went ahead and kissed her with his hands at the back of her head. ''My God!'' The strong smell of perfume made Era Xu feel so nauseous. At that very moment, all she wanted was to get rid of the man. However, the man simply held her even tighter. "Let''s go. I''ll take you somewhere else." "No. Get your hands off me," she tly refused, shaking her head. Indeed, she might havee here to have some fun, but she was still conscious enough to recognize that the man in front of her wasn¡¯t her type at all even though she was already feeling a bit tipsy. "Let''s go, baby. I promise I¡¯m going to show you a really good time¡­" With a lecherous smile on his face, the man persuaded her to leave the dance floor with him. "Hey, let go of me!" Era Xu struggled to push him away, but she was much too weak to shake him off. In no time at all, the man had taken her out of the bar. A gust of cold wind blew over, making her shiver for a while as she tried to pull herself together. "Get your hands off me! Go away from me!" She twisted her body in an attempt to loosen the man''s grip on her body. But then, the man got a hold of her right away and said, "Babe, please behave yourself." "Who are you calling baby? Go fuck yourself!" As they tore at each other in front of the bar, they identally bumped into a hard "ck tower". Raising her head to check what they collided with, she stared right into a pair of dark, deep and cold eyes. What a handsome man! His tall and muscr figure was at least over 186 centimeters. The well- dressed ck suit highlighted his burly figure. Based from his facial features, it was apparent that he was a mixed-blood. East meeting West seemed to have that much of an advantage. His skin was dark brown, but that didn¡¯t do anything to lessen his appeal. Far from being repulsive, the smell of his perfume simply added to his male charm, and his short hair made him look more casual and ostentatious. In her mind, Era Xu swore he must have been the most handsome man her eyes had ever seen! ncing at the man and woman who were fooling around in front of him, Jacob Huangfu¡¯s eyebrows were deeply knit as his deep and cold eyes stared at them. With his cold stare glistening in the light, they couldn¡¯t help but shudder. "Fuck off!" The man yelled out, not wanting to lose face in front of Era Xu. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Are you blind? How dare you act so arrogant in front of me! I''ll have you know that I have quite a powerful background and you can''t afford to offend me..." "So, fuck off!" Hearing this, Jacob Huangfu couldn¡¯t help but frown, and there was a cold atmosphere surrounding his ck eyes. It made people feel so intimidated, oppressed even, much like Satan from hell himself was standing in front of them. Because of this, the man was so frightened that he lost all the strength in his legs and fell to the ground. Upon seeing that, Jacob Huangfu simply strode toward the bar andpletely ignored him, but his eyes were still filled with coldness. The ruthless and steady footsteps seemed to have trampled on Era''s heart, giving her a strange feeling of restlessness deep inside. Finally, she had made up her mind. Stretching out her small and slender hands, she grabbed a hold of the man''s arm. She seemed to be caught in a daze as she looked at him. With an enchanting smile, she said in a sweet voice, "Hi! You are more handsome than that man! I''m d I bumped into you tonight! Shall we¡­ go to a hotel?" Giving her a cold stare, Jacob Huangfu replied in a low voice, "Get your hands off me!" Perhaps Era was so inebriated, but she just wasn¡¯t afraid of him whatsoever, even though his whole body was suffused with a rather suffocating breath. "¡­¡­ No way!" She shook her head and rubbed her hair, feeling so irritated. Then, before anyone could even notice, she proceeded to wrap her arms around his neck and held him tightly. "Hotel, right?" Jacob Huangfu asked as he held and raised her chin. "Yes..." Era tightly held onto him and whispered under her breath. "Come with me!" Jacob held Era''s shoulder as they walked away and pushed her into his ck sports car. At that moment, dizzinesspletely filled the air around her. Era kept on staggering as she walked. In a presidential suite of the Glory Hotel. The minute they entered the room, Jacob immediately leaned in closer to Era and let his umted passion reveal the hunter''s nature of danger he was keeping inside. When they reached the bedroom, he held the back of Era¡¯s head, leaving her no chance to escape at all. "Bang!" He effortlessly pushed her into the bed like a cloth bag. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Wait!" Half-awake due to the effects of the alcohol and feeling a little scared, Era tried her best to calm down the mes. "Sir, why don¡¯t we think this through..." Unfortunately for her, Jacob didn¡¯t give her any time to think at all. "Ahhh..." A drawn-out scream emanated from the bedroom. Right then, she could only vaguely see the beautiful crystalmp on the ceiling emitting its brilliance. It was toote for her to have any second thoughts, as Jacob could easily hold her down. Era had always been a well-behaved girl, performing well at school and always obedient. Even her cunning father, Enoch Xu, firmly believed that Era was only an innocent little girl, who would remain obedient to him all her life. In fact, he even started to arrange blind dates for Era and the sons of other rich and powerful families. No matter which family she married into, it would be beneficial for his company! Little did Enoch Xu know that all the legacies left by his wife, Fancy Ling, had been fully transferred to Era already. Never could he have imagined that that Fancy Ling''s properties would be enough to buy his own company. The two of them had been married for over ten years. However, he had always been preupied with either hispany¡¯s affairs or with his illicit love affairs. For that reason, he had never realized that his wife, who was weak and quiet, was actually an investor herself. As for Era, she didn''te back home that night. She decided to have fun at the bar and spend a night out celebrating her birthday with total strangers. If Enoch Xu were to find out about this, he would definitely go nuts and fly into a fit of hysteria! Era worked hard just to give her first time to a random passer-by. In spite of that, there was no feeling of regret for this matter whatsoever. Truth be told, there was even a faint happiness of revenge! ¡ª Chapter 2 Midnight (Part Two) Chapter 2 Midnight (Part Two) On the morning after, the first rays of sun shined through the window and illuminated the room, and the bedside was quiet and warm. Wrapped in a silk quilt, most of Era''s fair skin was exposed. Shezily opened her eyes. Her whole body felt so sore as though she had been run over by a truck. "Damn it! Who said experiencing this can make a person so happy and ecstatic? All of it is just..." Before she could utter next word, she suddenly felt something pointed at her head. It was a cold de of a ck knife. Seeing this, her eyes became wide open. That happened as Era was stretching herself, and halfway through the stretch, she had to hold her breath. The room, which seemed quite luxurious and magnificent with its European ssical style, instantly turned into a gloomy hell. Shooting a quick nce at the expensive-looking vase in the corner of the wall, Era rolled her eyes, much like a cat. Taking in a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to push the knife away and said, "Sir, let''s talk about this!" As she turned the machete against the palm of her hand, with one wrong move, she would have ended up being the most miserable girl ever. This was the very first time she had heard about such a thrilling and dangerous story. She had only spent one night with a man, but she ended up being killed. Deafening silence pervaded the room. And the air was filled with danger. After about two minutes of dead silence, Era asked while wearing a wry smile on her face, "Sir, why on earth are you doing such a thing? If you want to get rid of me, you should at least let me know the reason." "Well, if you really want to know, then I will tell you the reason why you are going to die." Pursing his lips, Jacob stared at the pretty woman in front of him, with quite an interested expression glimmering in his eyes. She was beautiful and had a delicate frame, with soft white skin, long curly chestnut hair, and eyes which were as exquisite as crystal clear water. But in spite of that, she unintentionally exuded a strong sense of stubbornness. Jacob couldn''t say for sure whether she was really wastedst night or not. After all, how could she be all over someone she just happened to bump into in the street and go to the hotel with him? Besides, when they finally arrived at the hotel, he even found out that the inebriated woman in front of him was actually a pure maiden. ''Women in the world must really be getting more and more crazy now.'' Raising the corners of his lips, Jacob looked at Era with cold and menacing eyes. Then, he coldly gave her the reason. "That is, all the women who have a connection to me must die!" Hearing his exnation, Era suddenly became short of breath. She thought to herself, ''Damn it all! I just had to go and offend a weird killer. However, this pervert is actually quite handsome.'' "You..." When she noticed that Jacob was tightening his grip on the knife''s handle, Era immediately covered her neck with her hands and blurted out, "Please don''t kill me!" "Are you kidding me? Give me one good reason why I shouldn''t kill you!" "I''ll give you whatever you want. Just spare my life, please!" For Jacob, women were nothing but passers-by in bed. To avoid getting himself in trouble, women who knew this habit of his all met their end like they were traitors. As far as he was concerned, there seemed to be no reason for him not to kill this seemingly over-confident woman. "I don''t want anything other than your life!" His alluring voice sounded sweet but cold at the same time. "You were the first man I''ve ever had sex with. You should feel honored! You''ve already taken my purity, and now you want to kill me? You''re taking all the good things in this world," Era blurted out, caught up in such a difficult situation. Right then, she looked like a little feral kitten who wanted to rake his skin with her sharp ws. All of a sudden, she rolled her eyes, quickly grabbed a pillow and threw it onto Jacob''s face to catch him off guard. As he dodged the pillow, Era had to think fast and picked up the antique vase, throwing it at him. ¡ª Unfortunately for her, he did not fall down as she had hoped because of his burly figure. He quickly raised his arm to block the vase. After a few seconds, blood started dripping down his slender fingers. "Woman, you are brave. I''ll give you that!" Jacob held her chin up and said in a cold tone just a moment later, leaving Era trembling with fear. It seemed that she could smell the scent of death in the air. Out of desperation, she closed her eyes. ''Era, you really are the most miserable girl in history!'' she thought to herself. "Jacob, I''ve been looking all over you! You''re giving me a hard time!" Just then, the door swung open, and a cheerful voice broke theplete silence inside the room. When she opened her eyes, Era saw a beautifuldy in ck gracefully entering the room. Thedy didn''t seem to be surprised with the scene she stumbled upon in the room. In fact, she even casually said as if she was used to it, "Jacob, there you go again ying such a boring and bloody game." "Elizabeth, you should go out first. I''ll be with you in a second," Jacob said, keeping his voice low as he gave her a cold nce. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Okay, but don''t make me wait too long." After giving Era a pitiful look, Elizabeth turned to leave. "Beauty, please help me!" Not wanting to let herst hope slip away, Era decided to reach out to her and ask for help. Hearing this, Elizabeth turned around and asked, "What did you just call me?" "Beauty! Gorgeousdy!" "Good girl." Wearing a bright smile on her lips, Elizabeth slowly walked over toward Era. "You''re much cuter than Jacob." "I couldn''t possiblypare to you, Miss." Holding on to dear life, Era tried so hard to curry Elizabeth''s favor. "This XIUNAER dress has been just made for you." "Haha..." With a soft smile, Elizabeth looked at Jacob and said, "Jacob, please let me have this girl. I''ve taken a liking to her." "Elizabeth, since when did you be such a stickybeak?" "It''s not like I''m poking my nose into other people''s business. I''ve decided. I''m going to invite her to attend my party," she said, taking out an exquisite invitation card and handing it over to Era. "Now, she is officially my distinguished guest. In any case, I have to ensure her personal safety. Jacob, please do me this favor." ncing at her smiling face, Jacob retracted the knife he was holding. Although, there was still a cold re in his eyes. "Elizabeth, I don''t want that to happen ever again!" "I see. Do you seriously think that any random woman can take part in my feast?" Elizabeth asked, waving her hand as a yful smile crept onto her face. Truth be told, she was simply very curious about that. Jacob had always been a cold and heartless man after all. Killing people swiftly without batting an eye was his style. However, he seemed to be dragging his feet as he tried to kill this woman! ¡ª "Fuck off!" ncing at Era, who seemed to have been caught in a daze, Jacob impatiently shouted. "Well, okay then." Picking up her clothes lying on the floor, quickly Era ran out of the presidential suite. "Baby, make sure to attend my party, okay? You should dress up, you know..." Elizabeth''s coquettish voice eximed from behind her. Frantically gasping for air, Era ran out of the hotel. She hailed a taxi and stepped in as fast as she could. In that moment, her heart was pounding uncontrobly and she was so flustered. All of it felt like such a nightmare. Was this God''s way of punishing her? But, she was by no means a horrible person! When she finally calmed down, she opened the invitation card to check what was inside, only to find that the background of the card was pitch ck, and the eye-catching red rose was so enchanting that it looked like it was actually bleeding. For some reason, it was just like that woman named Elizabeth. As for the contents of the invitation she received from thedy, Era could only read the gold letters on the card: Invitation From Mrs. Ye. After gathering her thoughts, her heart had been filled with curiosity. Who on earth were those people? Chapter 3 Homeless Chapter 3 Homeless When Era arrived at their house, the door of Xu family seemed to be ajar. Pushing the door open as quietly as possible, Era walked into the house and opened the refrigerator. She quickly grabbed a bottle of water and took two sips. Momentster, she heard a loud noiseing from upstairs. It was Enoch ran down the stairs in a hurry. He looked so furious, as if he was about to die of anger. "Dad..." ''Smack!'' Enoch furiously raised his hand and pped her right in the face! "You immoral girl!" Without an ounce of fatherly love for his own daughter in his eyes, Enoch gave Era a vicious tongue- lashing! "Where were youst night? You didn''te home all night! If you cause some sort of scandal, I am going to break your legs. You mark my words!" "Dad, are you sure you want to know where I went offst night?" she asked as she rubbed the area where she was pped. At that moment, she felt a little bit of pain. There was pain in her cheek, but her heart ached even more. It was said that she was the apple of Xu family. But little did they know, she was nothing but a hostage! "What did you just say?" Hearing her talking back to him, Enoch''s eyebrows were deeply knitted. After all, this was the very first time she had ever been disobedient as well as the first time she had raised her voice, leaving him utterly displeased. "Dad, I said, are you sure you want to know where I went offst night?" Era stubbornly raised her head as she gave him a look of derision. "Okay, then I''ll tell you. Last night, I went to the Glory Hotel along with a man to check in, and then we..." ''Smack!'' ¡ª Using all five of his fingers, he pped her really hard in the face once more. "You immoral girl, how could you possibly do such a shameless thing? You... You..." As the intense anger surged through him, Enoch felt a sharp pain in his chest. At this moment, Grace Liu walked downstairs. Holding Enoch''s arm, she went on and said, "Enoch, you should take good care of yourself. Both of us depend on you. Please try to calm down." "Mom is right, Dad. Please listen to her." Anna Xu came over a little whileter, and she also snuggled up to him, acting like a spoiled child. What a happy family of three they were! Their moment of happiness felt like such an eyesore to Era. She clearly didn''t belong in this family at all! "Hey, what''s that in your hand?" Anna Xu asked when she noticed the invitation card Era was holding. "It''s nothing," Era answered in a cold tone, tightly holding on to the invitation card. "Let me have a look." As she said that, Anna Xu reached for the invitation card. "Ah!" she eximed in total bewilderment. "Why do you have an invitation to Mrs. Ye''s party? Mom, take a look at this!" "Are you serious?" Feeling a little doubtful, Grace Liu took the invitation card and blurted out, "It really is an invitation from Mrs. Ye!" "Mom, I want to go there with you," Anna Xu said, feeling so excited as she held Grace Liu''s arm. "Okay, okay. I will get you dressed up as the most beautiful princess... All eyes would be on you for sure. Hahaha..." Trying to keep herself from smiling, Grace Liupletely forgot that the invitation card was not even hers. "I''m sorry!" Era reached out for the invitation card and beamed them a smile. And she said, "Mrs. Ye clearly said that the invitation to her party wasn''t just for any woman, so I can''t give this invitation to you!" Passing by both Grace Liu and Anna Xu, she ran up the stairs. "Era!" Anna Xu screamed at the top of her lungs. Truth be told, she was used to take Era''s things for granted, so she almost lost herself in anger that moment. "Mom, I don''t care about that. I''m going to attend Mrs. Ye''s party no matter what!" Erapletely ignored her. For that reason, Anna Xu held onto Grace Liu''s arm and asked for help. Hearing this, Grace Liu turned her head and said to Enoch in a cunning tone, "Enoch, you heard Era, right? How could she say such a thing? This saddens me. I''ve always treated her as my own daughter and yet..." "Stop right there! You wicked girl!" Enoch roared at the woman running up the stairs. This made Era stopped in her tracks, and she turned back slowly. "Apologize to your mother this instant. You are Anna''s elder sister. You should give the invitation to her!" He seemed to be as hard as nails, yet Era simply gave him a bitter smile. "By the way, Dad," Era said, "there''s something I forget to tell you. From this day forward, Era Xu will no longer exist in this world. And right now, it is Era Ling who is standing in front of you. You are no longer my guardian. So, please stop ordering me around!" "You..." Fuming with so much anger, Enoch couldn''t find the words right away. "Get out of my sight! You ungrateful girl! Get out of my house this instant!" Era turned around, and tears began to roll down her face. "Era, what''s the matter? Why are you crying?" At the corner of the stairs, a ten-year-old boy anxiously looked at her. When she heard his voice, Era''s tears instantly turned into a smile. Then, she patted his head and said, "It''s nothing. I just made Dad angry. That''s all. Raymond, please don''t follow my footsteps. You need to be a good child in the future, okay? Can you promise me that?" "Okay," Raymond Xu replied, earnestly nodding his head. At that very moment, she couldn''t help herself from stretching out her arms to hold him. In her ns to leave Xu family for good, Raymond Xu was actually the only one who was holding her back. The sound of cars'' engines were deafening. Era leaned against the corner and broke down. There were many cars here, so no one would probably notice that she was crying. That day, she left with nothing to her name. It was a good thing that she had prepared for this day in advance and stealthily carried the things her mother left her with beforehand. In spite of that, her heart was still in so much pain, and she felt so alone. No matter how much she cried right now, no one would care at all. Rain poured outside. The raindrops were falling on her face, and on her shoulders, drowning her tears. Her vision gradually turned blurry and all she could hear was the sound of her crying. She always made it a point to follow her mother''s advice¡ªlearn to smile, keep smiling no matter what, and face everything with all your heart. On top of that, she calmly maintained her image as a proper lady. She had always been feeling sorry for her mother, so she wanted to get revenge. But even though everything went exactly as she nned and her plot of revenge was fulfilled, she ended up being just a hollow shell. As she raised her head and looked up at the sky, she realized that she was so scared of being lonely as the rain continued to pour on her face. She wished that she could have a family to call her own, one that would always be there for her. From out of the blue, a silver sports car pulled over on the corner of the street. A handsome man stepped on the brake with a pitiful look and rolled down the window. He helplessly stared at the woman who was crying andughing in the rain. Seeing her crying bitterly but trying her best to smile with all her heart, he couldn''t help but frown. As soon as he heard that Era got kicked out of the house, he immediately got into his car and drove out to look for her. He knew that whenever she was feeling sad, she had a habit of hiding in the busiest street and crying her heart out in secret. Sure enough, he really found her there. What was causing her so much pain? Even though they went their separate ways, he knew she shouldn''t be that sad. Heaving a heavy sigh, he held up an umbre and stepped out of the car. His leather shoes sshed water onto the trouser legs of his suit. "Era, please don''t cry." Era was surprised to hear his captivating voice. Before she could even get the chance to respond, a pair of big hands was suddenly wrapped around her shoulder, and a blue umbre sheltered her from the rain. Era blinked and didn''t say a word for a while. She had no idea why she had to see him while she was in such an awkward situation. After all, he had been stolen from her by Anna Xu, her childhood sweetheart, Brooks Qi. Brooks Qi gently wiped away the tears in her face, leaving Era frozen in ce. The way he was being so gentle toward her felt like a calming breeze, making her feel so refreshed. However, that didn''t change the fact that he was the childhood sweetheart who had betrayed her. "Era, if a girl wants to look good, she should at least learn how to keep her makeup. If you keep crying like this all the time, you will never be able to marry." Brooks Qi poked fun at her, just like he used to. However, things had actually been different between the two of them. His jokes didn''t sound fun anymore but only ironic. Stepping on his foot, Era went on and said, "Did you juste here to make fun of me? I''m sorry, but the show is over. Goodbye!" The rain kept pouring down from the sky, and her delicate little face was soaking wet. As she bit lower lip, she still looked so pretty and charming. Pushing the umbre away, she walked into the rain and left Brooks Qi behind without any intention of looking back. Her delicate figure was trembling in the rain. From the looks of things, it seemed as though the wind could blow her away. Seeing this, Brooks Qi quickly tried to catch up to her and held the umbre for her. "Era, stop being so stubborn. Come on, you should go back with me. Your father is just having a fit of anger. I''m sure that if you apologize to him, everything will be fine..." "Why should I have to apologize to him?" Era asked. Then she stopped and stared at Brooks Qi and eximed, "I didn''t do anything wrong! Brooks, don''t follow me anymore. I hate you!" "Era Xu!" Brooks grabbed a hold of Era''s arm, tightened his grip, and roared, "Don''t be so stubborn. Go back with me already." "Oh, I''m sorry. I forgot to tell you something." With a cold smile on her red lips, she carefully told him word by word, "Era Xu no longer exists in this world. The girl standing in front of you right now is Era Ling." "Era..." Hearing those words, Brooks Qi couldn''t help frowning. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Era pushed him away and ran away into the cold rain. As he helplessly watched her receding figure, Brooks Qi let out a deep sigh with conflicting feelings in his dark eyes. ''Era, please don''t hate me. I was left with no other choice. Sorry I had to leave you...'' Chapter 4 Mrs.Yes Invitation Chapter 4 Mrs.Ye''s Invitation A weekter, at a mansion halfway up the mountain in C City, Mrs.Ye''s party was held once a year, but the ce where the party was held was always mysterious. Without the invitation released, it would not be announced. This was the first time that the party was held in C City. It was said that this well-known party was always for the highest enjoyment for women. Nobody knew the details of the party except the one in charge. Each participant also signed a confidentiality agreement. This made the annual celebration get more unfathomable. Women who think they''re upper ss are crazy. The women that Mrs.Ye invited were all carefully selected. They were alldies of the upper ss. It was a matter of dignity, which was also the reason why Anna and her mother were so excited when they saw the invitation. Era didn''t think there was anything worth being proud of as she received Mrs.Ye''s invitation. Actually, she could guess that it would be a luxurious party. It was just an extreme party for the emptydies. She came here because there was a rebellious idea in her heart¡ª¡ª She didn''t want to live alone in the world. She wanted someone to apany her. But she had felt her father''s ruthlessness from childhood, so she no longer had any illusions about men. So she wanted to have a baby, but she doesn''t want a husband. It was said that the party of Mrs.Ye always gather excellent men. She had to select some good genes for her future baby. Even in the daytime, the light here was still charming. As soon as Era entered the conference hall, she was shocked by the "beauty" in front of them. The man was tall and slim, with the strong chest muscles, the inverted triangle seductive skeleton and the ck four point swimming trunks, and the enchanting ck feather mask. In the dress of all the waiters at the party, it was extremely attractive and tempting. The young half naked body, which was as solid as the statue of David, collided with the gorgeous and noble dress suit, creating an absolute eye-catching and amazing sparks. "Miss, may I help you?" In a daze, a tall and strong waiter walked up to Era, and he looked very mysterious under the dim light. "sorry!" Era shook her head. His muscles were well proportioned, and he looked simple minded with developed limbs. He''s not what she wants! "Miss, don''t be shy. Every guest has the waiter''s personal service." The man lowered his voice as low and maic as possible. "I''m sorry!" But still, Era firmly shook her head and refused him, because she wanted to find the father of her future baby, she has to choose carefully. It was not easy to get rid of the waiter''s attention. Era took up a cup of scarlet drink and strolled leisurely in the hall. Women don''t think like men with their lower bodies. When she entered the room, she noticed that some women were still calm. They preferred to create a suitable atmosphere first. It was dark, and the lights were blurred. Two people were in pairs, or three of them formed a group. This was the favorite game of the upper ss. Some people were dressed up in luxury clothes, as if they were enjoying some extravagant life. Although she was not there, Era didn''t hate being decadent like this. Since her mother died, her father took that woman and her younger sister, who was only a few days younger than her, into his house openly. Since then, she began to ept everything that could not be seen. Soon, the music started. Mrs.Ye, ady called Elizabeth, she was wearing a red dress and she danced the opening dance with her partner. Others have joined them. Era was dragged into the dance hall by an enthusiastic waiter. This time, she did not refuse. She turned around, shook her head and integrated into the unscrupulous revelry. One song, two songs, three songs... As a tacit understanding between Era and her dancing partner, she was somewhat satisfied with the man in front of her. The man seemed not to be an ordinary waiter. He kept the gentleman''s elegance from beginning to end, and even his dance was the same hot. She became more and more interested in him. But the music was over. "Excuse me!" The man smiled and left quickly. It seemed that he had no attachment to her. On the other hand, Era was more interested in him. There had never been a man who could be so indifferent when being with a beauty. "Ladies, please choose your partner atst. How much are you willing to pay to spend this wonderful night with them? Please write down that number. If you do as they ask, they will be yours tonight... " The master of ceremonies exined hard while Era''s eyes were shuttling among the men on the stage. Without the man who was dancing with her just now, she must recognize him because he had a scar on his left shoulder. As expected, he was not an ordinary waiter. Era withdrew her gaze and she was a little disappointed. She couldn''t help looking forward to the end. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. In an instant, the light turned dark, leaving a faint ray of light spreading on the main tform... On the main tform which was as big as two persons'' beds, there was a man in aa. Unlike other waiters, he was well dressed. The buttons on his neck were unbuttoned, and he looked misty. He leaned against rose red sofa. Without light, his whole body was shining like a diamond. His sleeping face was as sweet as that of a newborn baby, and his skin was more delicate and fair than that of a woman. The faintly flowing pearl like light made his handsome and deep features look distinct, especially his lips, which were almost as red as rouge. He was so beautiful that anyone who saw him at the first sight would feel ashamed of themselves. The women were shocked, screamed and held their breath. This kind of man was an angel that only appeared in legends, a prince that only existed inics. He deserved to be called the best. Every woman would be impulsive for him, crazy for him, and even be willing to spend a fortune and a lot of money for him. But when Era looked at him, her heart missed a beat. How could it be him? Chapter 5 Keep An Appointment Chapter 5 Keep An Appointment He was from that bar! Although he was in aa and didn''t look as dangerous as he used to be, his dressing waspletely different from that day! She recognized him at first nce. Although he is a gorgeous, he has a fatal danger. Era shrank back, but couldn''t help peeping out curiously. Who would take the "angel" home? Looking around, the master of ceremonies was very satisfied with the performance. But for himself, he thought he''d better end the battle as soon as possible. "One hundred and twenty thousand!" Someone answered at once. "One hundred and fifty thousand!" "Two hundred thousand!" "Two hundred and fifty thousand!" The women were almost crazy. But for the sex, all of them didn''t hesitate to spend a lot of money on it. Era watched the drama unfold in silence. She knew these women were all dignified and wealthy. But they didn''t know if they would feel sorry for the bills when they were frozen by the man''s cold eyes. In no time, the bidding price was added to 500000. Era shook her head and mourned for those crazy women. "Eight hundred thousand!" The woman in a red dress raised her paddle and raised the bid up to 300000. She nced at those retreating women and believed she would win. "Okay, Miss No. 26. How about we offer a higher price of 8000000. Eighty hundred thousand once... " All the envious eyes fell on No.26 woman, and she epted it calmly and proudly.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Only Era, who stood behind her, gestured for her sympathy. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became serious all of a sudden. All women turned their eyes to the stage. For a moment, they were all in a daze like statues. It was -- the sleeping handsome man woke up! He stretchedzily and opened his eyes which looked like an ice pool. His eyes were hazy for a moment and swept across the crowd by ident. At that moment, many women were hit by his current, almost slumping to the ground. However, when he realized that he was now in the room, Jacob couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. His bewildered and blurred eyes suddenly became sharp and frightening! The nearest master in the room was the first to feel this suffocating danger. "Eight hundred thousand once, eight hundred thousand twice, eight hundred thousand thrice..." He spoke very fast, and after he shouted out these numbers in one breath, he hammered. "Deal. Congrattions to miss No. 26." He ran away before he finished his words. Then the woman holding the number 26 card felt as if the air around her was frozen, and the chill rose from the soles of her feet to her head. The joy she had just experienced was gone, followed by a shiver of horror. She knew that it was important to enjoy the pleasure, but everything needed to be alive! As soon as she finished speaking, she threw her scalded number card backwards. The women were crazy just now, but now they were all hiding from a gue. Then they could not help looking around curiously, seeing that the number 26 was lying in the arms of Era. They immediately retreated 300 steps, casting a pitiful and gloating look at Era. This sleeping handsome man looked like an angel when he was asleep, but when he woke up, it was the Satan! Uh Without any time to elude, Era raised the number te slowly and said timidly to Jacob, "it''s... It''s them, not me... " She turned around and opened her mouth in surprise. Did these women learn flying Kung Fu? Unexpectedly, they disappeared. I''m so screwed! She wrinkled her little face, slowly turned back. When their eyes met, she was very certain that he had recognized her. Chapter 6 Love Number Plate Chapter 6 Love Number te "Come here," Jacob said in a low voice, his eyes half falling on the number te in her hand. If he was in ck again and had ck wings on his back, he looked like a Western devil. She knew she should escape. However, as if being cursed, Era obediently moved closer to him. Jacob smiled coldly and his eyes and brows were filled with evil coldness. "Get closer, I will not kill you." Era moved a few more steps forward, and she could feel that something was getting more and more unusual in the air. "You bought me tonight?" There is not a bit of poprity in his voice, but it was still damn low and mellow. "No, it''s not like that..." Era shook her head and denied. "The number te is in your hand." The number te fell to the ground. Era frowned again. How could she forget to destroy the evidence? "Let''s go back. Help me up. My feet are a little numb." Said Jacob in a cold and dignified tone. In fact, he had been drugged. Although he was sober now, he didn''t have much strength to move his limbs. He needed help to get out of here, and Era was obviously the best choice. Terrified, Era still reached out to help him up. Jacob put his arm on her shoulder and staggered. To tell the truth, he was really tall, at least 187cm tall. When Era held him, she looks like she''s in his arms, with her small head only touching his chest. The strong muscles in his chest were like stones, and she could only desperately raise up his tall body. Fortunately, he was able to make a little strength, otherwise the petite girl would fall on the ground by the weight. She helped him hail a taxi, and helped him get to the hotel where she temporarily stopped to the third floor. Era was exhausted, gasping for breath. She just felt her legs weak. Before he let her go, she had already fallen on the small sofa by the door. Jacob was so exhausted that he didn''t have any strength to support himself and pressed on her body. The moment he fell down, Era felt her body heavy. There was a faint smell of musk filled her nostrils. The man''s breath fell on her ear, making her blush and her heart race. Compared to his tall stature, her petite figure was particrly smaller. She was locked between the sofa and him and shrank in his iron arm. Suddenly, she felt that he stretched his iron arm to hold her back of the head. "You..." "Hush!" "I..." "A woman should shut up at the right time! This is a virtue!" Jacob put his finger on Era''s lips. Oppressed by him, she felt like standing under a dark cloud and having a sense of suffocation. He was so overwhelming, domineering, cool but handsome. Unconsciously, she was always disturbed by his strong aura. Era pushed him on the chest, winking at him with her round eyes. She stretched out her neck in panic, like a deer. "Don''t look at me!" Jacob warned in a harsh tone. "You are the one who stared at me." "I have warned you. If you don''t listen to me, you have to bear the consequences!" Then, Jacob abruptly drew her head close to him. His handsome face was so close to Era that she blushed. She wanted to escape, but his aggressive eyes were much colder than usual... "What are you doing?" After asking this question, Era just wanted to give herself a p. She was really an idiot! "I want to Kiss you! " For him, women were just the tools to satisfy his sexual desire. Embarrassing moment is needed, and never be thrown away. However, the woman who dared to seduce him only expressed his sexual desire based on her every twinkle of smile and emotion. Yes, it was his natural physiological need. He wanted to kiss her lips and enjoy her taste, immediately! "No, you..." "I want to kiss you, woman!" "Ah!" Era was stunned, and then her astonished mouth was covered. Kissing her was like a normal thing. He was arrogant yet not hateful. He said "I want to kiss you" as if "I want to eat something". Era had to admit that he was a true king. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. After a long time, when both of them found it difficult to breathe, Jacob finally let go of Era. After kissing her, he touched her camel red little face, and there was a residual me in his eyes. "Why... Why did you kiss me?" After that, Era patted her forehead heavily. Was she an idiot? She had always been smart and calm, but how could she be as naive as a little girl when meeting this man? "I mean, you don''t have to do anything. Tonight is just an ident." After saying that, she wanted to bite her tongue again. Why was she asking for an exnation from this domineering and cold man? Didn''t she want to humiliate herself? She was really insane. In fact, she shouldn''t have taken him back from the beginning. What was she doing now? Did she bring back a wolf? "You asked me why I kissed you?" A trace of smile infiltrated into Jacob''s cold ck eyes. After he saw the scene made by this little woman, he felt that his arms and legs were strong enough. He said in a faint voice, "I will kiss you! You spent so much just to get my kiss! " It was a direct excuse! What he said was powerful enough. "By the way, don''t talk about obligations and idents. From the night you messed with me, your life has been in my palm! " He lifted the corner of his mouth quietly, and his tone was cold and evil. "Sir!" Era sighed and tried to be patient to make things clear. "That night, I didn''t force you to sleep with me even though you were willing to. Why did you insist on killing me? Besides, I didn''t n to buy you this time. You just don''t want to listen to my exnation... " "Whoever dares to annoy me will have only one end. You are no exception. " Jacob reached out his hand and put it around Era''s neck, forcing her to look at him. His cold tone almost froze her, and his eyes were horrifying. "Sir." As soon as the cold intent invaded her body, Era immediately shrank back in tears, acting like a poor girl. "Can you please not kill me?" Jacob frowned his thick ck eyebrows and his handsome face was visibly moved. He frowned and said coldly, "I have no desire to kill anyone today. Go and run me a bath!" "You won''t kill me?" "It''s not that I don''t like it, but that I want to put it off! Woman, you''d better think hard about how to make up for your mistake. Otherwise... " "Why should I serve you?" "No way?" Chapter 7 Bring Back A Wolf Chapter 7 Bring Back A Wolf "Fine, fine. I''ll just..." Before Era finished her words, Jacob raised his eyebrows. She rushed out of the bedroom like a whirlwind and opened the door of the bathroom. She heard a thick warning behind her, "woman, you''d better be quick!" After taking off his shirt and pants, Jacob was also confused. He not only didn''t kill her, but also had shown great interest in her. "Damn it! I''m crazy!" The sound of water pouring came from the bathroom. Era turned on the tap and filled the bathtub with water. Then she walked out of the bathroom to invite devil to take a bath. Better drown him! She cursed inwardly. She just pushed the bathroom door open¡ª¡ª "What?" A piercing scream suddenly rose. Jacob was standing at the door of the bathroom, not paying attention to his pose. His handsome face and the mixed blood made Era''s heart almost burst out. "Shut up!" He ordered coldly. Era immediately shut up and covered her eyes with her hands, blushing. "Why... Why don''t you wear clothes? Come on, go get dressed. " "You ask me to put on my clothes and take a shower?" Suddenly, Jacob''s voice was heard overhead of Era. He pushed aside her fingers, grabbed her little hand and ridiculed, "if you don''t want to peep, don''t put your fingers so obviously... Open such a big gap, woman! " "Uh..." "Besides, it''s not the first time that you see me naked. We have already done it. If you still keep being reserved, it will only make me feel hypocritical! " Jacob scolded her with sharp words, squinted at her and walked into the bathroom. "I don''t have any clean clothes to change. You''d better go downstairs to buy some." "For what?" He really treated her as a maid at will. Whoosh, his eyes were cold, gloomy and dangerous. "Well, I''ll go now." "Don''t try to escape. It''s not difficult for me to find someone, and it''s easier to kill someone." As soon as Era turned around, she heard a cold voice behind her... "Era Ling!" He emphasized on thest sentence. "What? Do you know me? " Era looked back at him and asked with fear, "who are you?" "You don''t need to know! As long as you know, don''t ever try to challenge my bottom line again! " Squinting his eyes and licking his lips cruelly, Jacob casually nced at the dressing table at the side of the big bed. There was a new ID card of Era lying there! After walking out of the hotel, Era was still hesitating whether she should run away or not. Staying by the side of that man put herself in danger like jumping into the tiger''sir. However, since he had known her identity, he could do nothing about it? If she was caught by him, would she be dismembered? After shivering, she came to a clothes store. But when she saw the price tag which was nearly tens of thousands, she felt a little angry. She didn''t think that she could let the man off so easily. She decided to buy some cheap stuff for him. He liked ck, so she chose white for him; he liked cool, she preferred cute clothes for him. Having made up her mind, she went two more streets, and finally chose a set of light pink clothing, aBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. sportswear with ck trousers. After hesitating for a long time, she didn''t dare to choose the Hello Kitty which was exaggerated and cute. In fact, the white one with English letters had crossed Jacob''s line. Frowning, he looked like a Satan in the dim light of the setting sun. "Era Ling, you are courting death!" Chapter 8 Eat You Chapter 8 Eat You "No. I left without so much money in my hands. This is the best clothes I can buy now." She looked at him sheepishly, her big eyes rolling with tears. Suddenly, a strange feeling came over her. Jacob licked his lips and smoothed his hair. Then he took the ck trousers by his hand and changed his clothes in front of Era. He looked like a cynical prince with beautiful fingers holding trousers. But he didn''t move the light pink shirt. His strong and fine chest was bare, and his bronze skin looked fresh after his shower. Era was dumbfounded. This clothes is very cheap, but it made him look noble. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. A disdainful and mocking smile appeared in his calm and dark eyes. "Woman, I''m hungry." His voice was a little hoarse. "Are you hungry?" Era, who just started to breathe smoothly, suddenly became short of breath again. After regaining herposure, she forgot the danger andined, e on. I just came back. Do you really take me as your maid?" "Woman, don''t be insatiable." He looked sideways at her, and there was no emotion in his ck eyes. Era leaned over on the sofa shamelessly, but she was really exhausted after running over a long distance. She waved her hand and haggled, "give me ten minutes, let me have a rest. Is that okay?" "Okay!" "What?" He answered so quickly that Era was thrilled. Squinting at her, Jacob slowly approached her and whispered in her ear, "then I have only... I''ll eat you first! " He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up. "Let me go!" Era struggled in panic, but his arms were as strong as iron, and she could not move at all. "Don''t move! This is your own choice." In case she ran away again, he hugged her tightly. His hug was like a thunderp, wakening Era up. Pushing him away with great strength, she sat up in horror. Although it was not the first time, it was still dark outside, so it was strange for her to do such a thing. Without the help of alcohol, she was really scared. "I''m going to buy dinner for you." After saying that, Era hurriedly got out of bed and ran out of the room. ring at her back with his dark eyes, Jacob affectionately stared at her. At this moment, she was absolutely his most delicious dinner. But he never had the habit of forcing women to have sex. In fact, in the past, he would easily jump into his bed with a crooked finger. And she was different. That night she was passionate and wild. Just now the terrified expression on her face clearly told him that she was frightened, just like a frightened deer! "The frightened deer will just increase the appetite of the leopards. You can''t run away, Era Ling! At the moment, his drooping eyshes covered his savage look. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed it. Although Elizabeth had yed the game before, he had discovered happiness in something boring. That was exactly what he was interested in. After walking out of the hotel, Era realized that she was less likely to be ughtered as a prey. As she had just taken her life as guarantee, a bold n came into her mind. She borrowed a seed from that cold and overbearing man and wanted to have a baby. Era had to admit that except for his cold temperament and irresistible disposition, he was wless in everything else. She even began to imagine the scene that a little baby as beautiful as that man was around her all day long and that it was a pleasure and achievement! She had calcted her period, and was in the safe period now. How could she frighten that cold and overbearing man, and let him wait until her ovtory period, to make out with her? It''s too hard! Era frowned. She was very pure, and she would never let that domineering man take advantage of her. When she was thinking, she bumped into a girl who just came out of the supermarket. "Hey, watch out!" The girlined unhappily, and the things in her hands spread all over the ground. "Sorry, I''m sorry!" Era immediately squatted down to help the girl put the thing in the bag. Instant noodles and juice... Besides... She stared at the piece of tissue in her hand and her eyes lit up. She was on her period! It must be a good excuse! "You are crazy!" Era smirked at the sanitary pad. The girl grabbed the bag, threw it into the bag and left without looking back. But Era didn''t care about it at all. She rushed into the supermarket and bought some sanitary towels and red ink. She was extremely cautious in dealing with that cruel and overbearing man! Then she walked into the famous porridge shop on the street and packed back the hot, fragrant osmanthus lotus seed porridge. She nced at the box, which was a very exquisite gift box, a cute pink, round cylinder shaped, especially with the "heart" under the rabbit. She couldn''t help raising the corners of her mouth. She could imagine the cool man in the hotel whose mouth twitched at the sight of the porridge. "Longan lotus seed porridge?" How can you give me such terrible food! " Besides, the box was put in such a disgusting way. With his eyebrows tightly knitted, Jacob looked quite displeased. The expression on his face was as the same as that in Era''s imagination. "Sorry, I really don''t have much money. I have to calcte the days..." The same reason, the same pitiful expression on her face. But in her mind, she thought to herself, ''humph, it''s good to have food. You don''t like it! Nuisance!'' Chapter 9 You Raise Me (Part One) Chapter 9 You Raise Me (Part One) "Shut up!" Jacob felt annoyed and frowned. He opened the box and managed to take a spoonful of it. This porridge is not as hard as he thought. He drank the porridge up in the box. Uh, she thought he was a carnivorous animal, but she didn''t expect that he was a omnivorous animal. Era only paid attention to him and the porridge in front of her had not eaten much. Seeing this, Jacob stretched out his hand and moved her porridge box to his side. "Hey, that''s mine." Era regained her consciousness and tried to stand up to grab the bowl. However, she was stopped by Jacob and he was swallowing the congee. When he finished thest bite of porridge, he pushed the porridge box aside, stood up and ordered, "clean this ce." Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "What..." What are you? She could only utter thest few words. "Hurry up! Don''t let me say it again!" He was a clean freak. He hated dirty things. Except for sex demand, he never let women get close to him. But she was an exception. But she was an asional and brief exceptions! Because¡ª¡ª Jacob was a cold and arrogant man. He could get whatever he wanted. In his eyes, everything was just a game, and usually couldn''tst too long... Era stammered and tidied up the table. Fortunately, she didn''t feel hungry these days. She has scolded Jacob in her heart many times, but she wore a faint smile on her face all the time. You jerk! She was going to remember this! She swore! When he was full and finished his shower, Jacob fell down to the soft bed,ying down on Era and pressed her against the bed. "Uh, you... You can''t do it today." When she smelled Jacob''s masculine fragrance, Era suddenly blushed. Be careful that your liver will beat wildly, almost turn into a mouthful. When Jacob heard her, he frowned and looked down at her coldly. "Well..." Era swallowed hard and said, "I''m not avable today. It wasing." The frown deepened on his beautiful face, as if he was asking "which one hase?". ''This idiot. Doesn''t he know women''s menstrual period! Constraining the impulse to roll her eyes, Era exined patiently and innocently, "that period is called menstrual period. However, the scientific appetion is that female menstrual hemorrhage." "You are speaking too much!" He said coldly, but his tall body was still pressing on her. "You don''t believe it? I can prove it to you! " Blinking Era''s eyes. Fortunately, she was well prepared. After coaxing him into kicking him off the bed, Era got up and ran into the bathroom. After a while, she rushed out like a whirlwind with a garbage bag in her hand. She moved close to Jacob and said, "look, look at it. I won''t lie to you! I''m really inconvenient. " After finishing her words, Era moved the trash bag closer to that ghastly pale handsome face. "Get off me!" Jacob frowned again. Was this woman an idiot? She should have shaken that thing in front of a man casually. Although he was used to the smell of blood, he still lost his appetite because of the terrible thing. "Get off me!" The cold voice was approaching the freezing point. Seeing that, Era put away the trash bag in a hurry and sent her back to the bathroom with a serious face. As soon as the door was closed, she immediately covered her mouth, snickering instantly and then bursting intoughter. Her shoulders twisting like a spasm, and sheughed until her stomach ached. But she didn''t make too much noise in order not to disturb the beast which was dormant outside. That''s enough. She took a quick shower and went to bed. When she walked out of the bathroom with one foot, she found there was a big problem in her mind now -- there was only one bed, but now more than half of the bed was upied by the man''s tall and strong body... Chapter 10 You Raise Me (Part Two) Chapter 10 You Raise Me (Part Two) Jacob was lying on the bed leisurely with his palms crossed behind his head. His eyes lifted and he looked at her yfully. Era''s heartbeat elerated. He looked around the room in panic. There was nothing but the small sofa. ''Sleeping on the sofa will definitely make my waist, back, leg cramp...'' Standing for a long time, she walked hard to the bedside, like a little rabbit afraid of a big wolf. ''Era, you are such a coward! Why did you run away when you met this man?'' She walked up to the bedside and stammered, "um... Sir, can you give me a ce to sleep?" Jacob lifted his thin lips and gave her a reply by moving his legs to leave about five centimeters away. "You..." In a fit of anger, Era clenched her fists, but as soon as she met Jacob''s chilly eyes, she immediately dropped her anger and said in a low spirit, "thank you." Then she curled up and snuggled up to the bedside. ''s! A piece ofndying on the bed is better than a sofa!'' Then she began to scold the bossy man in her mind. But Era was still a kid after all, and she was too tired after a day''s toil, so she fell asleep in no time. A touch of discontent shed through Jacob''s eyes. How could she fall asleep first before he had slept? He wanted to wake her up. But when his fingers touched her soft skin, he felt her warm and tender skin. He stretched out his arms and held her in his arms. Her warm and soft body immediately dispelled the coldness of summer night on his body. And then he fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Era woke up because of hunger. She opened her sleepy eyes and tried to turn over, only to find that her waist was held and couldn''t move. She wanted to stretch her arms, kick the legs. They were also pinned down? What was going on? Is that a ghost? I don''t care about it, I will continue... As a result, she was held tightly in his arms. Unwilling to open his eyes. Jacob Said, "don''t move..." He ordered directly. He never knew it was so comfortable to hold a thing in his arms to warm himself. But it disturbed his dreams every time it moved. Era suddenly became wide awake. She turned around and saw a strong chest in front of her. What? Fond dream? ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Raising her head again and again. It was not easy for her to make a little distance from the man and make her look up at his face. Oops! When Era saw the man''s face clearly, she immediately covered her mouth with her little hand and gasped. handsome guy! So handsome! And he fell asleep! His long eyshes seemed to be iid with, and his prominent nose was more delicate than sculpture. His thin lips were as sharp as knife des, and his whole face was as handsome as artwork under the faint light. She couldn''t help stretching her hand carefully to touch his face. Eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, HMM Adam''s apple... Her brain was also running like a turtle, but she finally remembered what had happened yesterday. Her hands froze and she withdrew her hand... Well... He was like an angel when he was asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he would be a demon that wanted to kill her. She''d better not touch him. Her stomach is screaming again. Licking her lips, Era was sullen. She was hungry. She quietly moved his hands from her waist and tiptoed to the bed looking for food... Chapter 11 Fight To Eat (Part One) Chapter 11 Fight To Eat (Part One) Fortunately, she bought gruel today and also ordered a roast goose, which was put in the big flowerpot at the door secretly. She had nned to take it out as soon as possible if he didn''t look well. But he just robbed the porridge from her. Now she was able to enjoy alone. After she opened the packing paper, she sat on the sofa holding the roast light. The aroma was so smelly that Era closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Does it taste good?" A cold voice suddenly sounded. Era opened her eyes and saw a man looking at her sharply. She immediately petrified, and after a moment, she obediently served the roast goose with a bitter smile. "Sir, if you want to eat it, just give it to you. Why do you want to kill me for a goose..." She didn''t want to be the first person in history who would lose her life for eating. "No, it''s not a question of goose," said Jacob, as he removed roasted goose and looked down at her, "I hate it when people lie to me, and you''re not honest at all!" It was ridiculous. When she looked at him pitifully, he showed sympathy. ''Don''t ask me to leave with nothing and be short of money! These are all excuses to fool me!'' thought he. "I was wrong..." Holding the roast goose in her hands, Era couldn''t find a reasonable exnation, and her tears rolled down from her big eyes. The tears, like crystal, kept falling. She sobbed. "I was wrong. I shouldn''t have learnt this from the beginning; I shouldn''t have riled you up; I shouldn''t have attended Mrs.Ye''s party, and brought you to the hotel by some freak; I shouldn''t have treated you like a master; I shouldn''t have bought you food and clothing..." Under his threat, she didn''t want to cry or give up. But she was so scared at that moment. Her tears fell down along her eyshes. She bit her lips and stared at him stubbornly, "Sir, just kill me if you want. But can you promise me one thing? " "Speak up!" In a condescending manner, Jacob looked down at the pretty woman with his dark and deep eyes. He was born with the aura of a king who was ruling the world, which made people feel depressed. "All my savings are in that bag," said Era, pointing at a pink bag at the head of the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Could you please buy a graveyard after my death? I have no rtives. I don''t want to die on the street." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. At this moment, an indescribableplex emotion shed through his icy eyes. It had never urred to him that this little girl, who always had a smile on her face, would also be fragile sometimes. It never urred to him that she should be so aggrieved. He hates women crying, but now he doesn''t. On the contrary, he became more and more interested in her. He didn''t want to say goodbye to this interesting little girl forever. "Stop your damn tears right now. Maybe I will consider giving you another chance." "Well... Oh... " Era dried her tears, "you... Are you lying to me? " "Yes." "Go ahead!" Instantly, her little face was full of vitality. What''s this little girl like? Why was she so stubborn and fragile? She was so proud, but she was also so poor? She was so optimistic, but why was her eyes full of untouchable disappointment when she just said that she had no family? It was the first time that he had felt that a woman was not only able to satisfy men''s physiological needs, but also a kind ofplicated animal... Therefore, he decided to keep the little thing by his side and thoroughly see through it¡ª¡ª "Be my woman until I get tired of you!" To be exact, he didn''t need to hide anything from her. If he had seen through her, he would abandon her in a good way without any hesitation. Chapter 12 Fight To Eat (Part Two) Chapter 12 Fight To Eat (Part Two) "What? If you''re not tired forever? " Era asked back by instinct. She didn''t want to be cautious all her life to be with a devil. "Don''t I get tired of it?" A hint of mockery shed in his eyes. "Then you should feel honored. Remember... He bent down and his eyes were as cold as a pool of ice without any feelings of human. "If you can''t stay with me for a month, you will end up dying!" Since he''s not interested for 30 days, then she won''t live long. Era trembled. Although she didn''t want to ept this condition, she had to nod cautiously under the man''s cold gaze. She had to go step by step. "Good." He raised his hand and patted her head, as if she were a lovely pet. Since then, Era had fallen into deep trouble... The next morning, as soon as she opened her eyes in a haze, a pink clothes was thrown to her. "Era Ling, buy me the right clothes within half an hour. I need to go out." Jacob stood at the head of the bed and said in a cold voice. It was summer now, but her back is cold. She ran out of the door as fast as she could and then came back out of breath. "Oh, sir, I forgot my purse." "Idiot!" He was lying elegantly on the bed, leaving her one words behind. Apparently, he was toozy to look at her. She took the wallet with embarrassment and quickly went out, only to find that there were only some paper coins and changes in the wallet. Her credit card and ID card were all gone. Damn it! She couldn''t help swearing. If so, wouldn''t she be mastered by him, and it was impossible for her to escape?! To her surprise, the power was off that night, which resulted in a tragedy¡ª¡ª "Oh, so hot." Jacob muttered, "Era Ling, fan for me." "Uh... No... " She refused half dreamy, half awake. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "What don''t you want? Life? " His voice was cold and intimidating. The girl suddenly quivered and jumped up... Therefore, in the middle of the night, she stood at the bedside of him, with a magazine in her hand. "Come here and sleep with me!" She was directly dragged to bed by a w. "The whole body is soft and hot, like a baked sweet potato!" Jacob buried his head in her neck and snorted. Baked sweet potato? What''s the metaphor? She rolled her eyes and couldn''t help but retorted, "why do you hold me so tight while I''m hot?" "Shut up, I''m cold now!" "Cold?" She was cursing silently, the corners of her mouth twitching. Who just said hot? She was now very sure that this man was deliberately teasing her in a way of super rascal, childish and idiot. In this way, they fought against each other for a whole week. One noon, Jacob went into a fancy western restaurant with Era. The Cachino Western Restaurant was specially designed in the top international decoration style. The style of European ancient castle as well as the ssic boldness. The iid in the top of the hall was invaluable. Walking into the hall, as if walking into a long corridor. There were famous paintings, famous masters everywhere. Looking at the luxurious decoration of the hall, Era was surprised and her heart beat fast. She''s going to spend a lot of money again. He had been eating expensive western food and Japanese food for the past few days. The minimum consumption in each restaurant was over 1000 dors. Her wallet had been halved. Chapter 13 The Meeting Of Sisters Chapter 13 The Meeting Of Sisters The master of ceremonies said that he would belong to whoever got the man. But now? s! Era sighed in her heart. I heard that killers earn a lot of money? But why does this person depend on her? It doesn''t matter if she would provide for you. But you have to be self-conscious. How can you be so reckless to spend other people''s money? She kept gossiping in her heart, but she didn''t know that the restaurant they entered was a high-ss restaurant that only opened to VIP. Ordinary people couldn''t enter it, and no matter how rich and casual people were, they were not allowed to enter. People wanted to have dinner here not only need to pay ten million for their membership card, but also needed to have a certain social status. Therefore, whoever could enter this ce was also a member of the social status. Every table here was very wide, and they were separated by crystal beads. So there was neither awkwardness nor fear of being pried at during the meal. However, they were always disturbed by those who wanted to do something. Anna walked into the Cachino arm in arm with Brooks. She looked around curiously, just like someone who hasn''t seen the world. Though the Xu family owned small assets, couldn''t get the qualification to have lunch here. She had been pestering for several days. Brooks had promised to take her here. She must look carefully and show off to her sisters. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Then she looked around and found that Era was sitting on a table in the corner alone. "Brooks, look! Who is she?" Sheughed, with a sh of mockery in her eyes. Humph, how could an orphan enter such a noble ce? She must hook up with a rich man, or may be a bald, fat old man... It just so happens that today she will meet her. She must expose her ugly face in front of Brooks! Era picked up the drink in front of her and took a sip. That cold and overbearing man said he was going to the bathroom. Why did it take so long? Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head and said, "you go..." But when she saw the personing, she stopped abruptly. The man standing in front of her wasn''t Jacob. At this moment, he was smiling at her. He had a short stature, with a slightly bulging belly, and his features were all squeezed into the middle of the round face. His eyes smiled dirtily like a deformed eggnt. He was totally different from Jacob. "Miss..." Era smiled and actually wanted to say to him, ''it''s not your fault to be ugly, but you have to live in an elegant ce. I can''t help but worry about the food quality of this restaurant when I see you.'' "I think we have met somewhere before." Seeing that Era did not refuse, the man showed his yellow teeth. Since it was an old-fashioned way to ost a woman, Era almostughed out loud, and became interested in it. She hated men who always tried to flirt with a woman in such a frivolous way. "Really?" She smiled more brightly, "I also think your looks familiar." "Really? You are so beautiful. I won''t admit you." With these words, the man took the opportunity to sit beside Era. She rolled over to keep a distance from him. Smiling like a flower, Era said maliciously, "I should have remembered your characteristics. Unfortunately, I should never forget, but I can''t remember..." "Hey, sister, it''s really you! I thought I was mistaken." The lines she had carefully prepared were interrupted by a sudden female voice. Then she saw that Anna was smiling at her, with her arms around Brooks. From the beginning, only in front of Brooks would Anna call her sister. Her eyes fell on the arms of the two intimate people. Although she tried to cover it, there was still a hint of pain in her eyes. "You can go now." Era said to the strange man coldly. At the moment, she was not in the mood to deal with him, a stranger. But the passers-by didn''t realize that. "They are your friends. Why don''t you introduce them to each other?" "Yes, sister, why do we drive her away as soon as we arrive?" With these words, Anna pushed the man to sit next to Era and then pulled Brooks across the table. "Is he your new boyfriend? You two make a perfect couple. " Perfect couple? Frowning, Era gave her a re. She saw they looked like boyfriend and girlfriend from some of her eyes and that they were a perfect couple. She was in such a hurry to discredit herself in front of Brooks. Did she think she was still the obedientmb of the Xu family? "I know you must be down since you left home. She had to do that. Dad was so careless. She just didn''t go homest night. Why was he so angry? Now there are many ignorant girls. What''s wrong with making a mistake? " "Anna!" As Anna''s words became more and more intentional, Brooks couldn''t help but give a light cough to stop her. Having noticed that, Anna stopped talking and nced at the flirtatious man, smiling sheepishly. "Sorry, I seemed to... I seemed to talk too much. By the way, sister, won''t you introduce him to Brooks and me... Sir? " Hearing this, Brooks breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the two sisters would fight in the restaurant, so he quickly agreed: "Yes, Era. Who is he..." Era sneered at Brooks, ''Brooks, you used to dote on me and never allow anyone to bully me. But now, you even don''t care about the humiliation that Anna has brought to me.'' Whether love is too important or you are confident that I am ignorant. Anna looks at her. Her eyes are full of pride. The pain in her eyes became deeper. Era clenched her fists and pressed her nails into the flesh to rece the pain in her heart. For a moment, the atmosphere was so weird, full of undercurrent. ''The ending is so obvious. What else do you make? Era Ling!'' Disheartened, she had no mood to argue anymore. She coldly bid them farewell. "He''s just a passer-by. I don''t know him, so it''s unnecessary for me to introduce him to you. If you don''t have anything else, please leave. " However, Anna didn''t intend to give up. She was angry that she didn''t get an appointment with Mrs.Ye last time. They finally met today, how could she let her go so easily? But she had to maintain herdy image in front of Brooks. With a slight twitch of her face, she smiled again. "Sister, don''t be shy. Since you left home, our parents have been very worried about you. Only when you find a good boyfriend can our parents rest assured..." While speaking, the disdainful look in her eyes indicated the ugly man next to Era, and she continued to carry on her hidden sarcasm. About five minutester, she said, " So, with your current condition, you shouldn''t be picky about anything, as long as... " "As long as it''s a man, it''s okay, right?" Anna''s insistence and Brooks''s indifference infuriated Era. All of a sudden, she cut in and gave a sweet smile. "I... I didn''t say that. " Anna''s eyes twinkled. "Don''t you want to say that? Oh... " After hearing her, Era was suddenly enlightened. "I forgot that carrying out the crime and n are two different things." "Brooks, look at her. I didn''t mean that." No way! ''She would better make a scene here so that Brooks will see her in person, '' Anna thought. But Anna pretended to be aggrieved, she reminds Era of Anna''s mother, Grace. Chapter 14 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part One) Chapter 14 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part One) "Era,e here." Frowning, Brooks, who kept silent, stood up and dragged Era away. "Hey, Brooks." Anna hurried after him. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Anna, wait for me here. We''ll be back soon." Brooks said in a gentle tone, but his eyes allowed no refusal. Anna pouted and stopped walking. She gave an angry stare at Era and sat back at the table. "Miss, why don''t we have a talk?" The man sat down next to Anna in ascivious way. "Get out!" Anna''s abrupt shouting attracted the attention of several guests sitting next to her. "I''ll remember it." The man lost his face. He left after saying those words to Anna. In the dark corridor, Brooks stopped and looked at Era with mixed feelings. "I have something to tell you." He whispered in her ear, "I''m sorry!" Era was shocked and suspected that she had a hearing problem! She thought that at least he would bring out facts and reasons again. "I''m sorry." He spoke again in a low and hoarse voice, "if I make you sad, and make you so... I apologize for you!" Suddenly, Era stepped back with a sweet smile on her face. She looked like a well behaved girl. From his eyes, she could see his deep concern. It was not fake, but it could no longer make her moved. What she needed was not guilt. He can''t afford what she wants. She could only put on the fake mask and looked at him. Her pride won''t allow her to give him any more love. "Brooks, my change has nothing to do with you. So you don''t need to apologize or feel guilty..." Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt a shadow behind her, and her wrist was gripped by a thick and powerful hand. A roaring mountain with its ck shadow suddenly formed a strong pressure, turning the clear sky into a cloudy sky. Even if she didn''t look back, she knew who it is. It was said that women and flunky were difficult to get along with. But in Era''s opinion, this handsome man was the most difficult to be satisfied! He wanted her to be at his disposal, but her legs were also legs, not pig''s feet. However, it was not the right time to mind it. In addition, she didn''t want Brooks to find something wrong. After thinking for a while, Era smiled gracefully at Brooks, "I''m sorry, Brooks, I met a friend. I''ve taken your words seriously. You can go back now. " "But, Era..." Brooks looked at the handsome man, the man like a statue of Greece. Brooks felt nervous. Then he changed the subject, "your friend? Why don''t you introduce him to me?" He made it sound intimate on purpose, because he didn''t want other men to covet his little princess so easily. He hoped that they could shrink back from difficulties. "He is..." Era suddenly froze and suddenly realized that she had lived with this domineering man for several days, but she didn''t even know his name? "Lee." Jacob gave a cold nce at Brooks and said proudly. Then he grabbed Era by the cor and hid her behind his back, dering in silence that she belonged to him now. "Right, Lee." Era repeated with a bitter smile. Seeing that Brooks still wanted to say something, Era grabbed Jacob''s hand and said with great enthusiasm, "Lee, we haven''t seen each other for a long time. How is everything going recently? Let''s have a chat here... " Then she turned around and waved to Brooks, "Brooks, Anna is looking for you. Go back quickly." Don''t follow me! Her little face turned back into a big warning symbol... Chapter 15 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part Two) Chapter 15 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part Two) "Hey, Era..." Worry and disappointment filled Brooks''s eyes as he stretched out his hand. However, the warning in Era''s eyes was obvious. Since she didn''t allow him to go with her, why did he still stand by her side? As soon as she turned the corner, Jacob grabbed her wrist and couldn''t get rid of it like an iron mp. It turned out that handsome men were untouchable. If you dare to y tricks on him, you have to break your arm. You deserve it! Make trouble for yourself! Patting her chest, Era smiled. "Lee... Sir, I just... " Abruptly, Jacob pushed her against the wall of the bathroom and held her wrists. He forced her to look at him directly and said, "you really can''t keep it in mind!" "Well... Mr. Lee, calm down. I pretended to be familiar with you, but in case they keep asking you questions. " In front of Jacob, she always acted like an obedient cat not daring to make any noise or look at him face to face. She knew that he was the most heartless man. Perhaps she would not end up well if she irritated him. However, on a closer inspection, his cold and charming face did not seem to be full of aggression. There was no expression on his face. However, when she looked at his eyes, which were filled with viciousness, he was shocked to gasp for air... "Woman, I warn you. Your life is still under observation." However, Jacob was very ruthless. He held up her chin and told her coldly, "but you actually dared to embarrass me!" "I am not!" "You are!" "I was just with my ex boyfriend..." "You are my woman!" Suddenly, Jacob frowned and turned to her, "if you want to find other men, at least until I''m tired of you, otherwise, you''ll be dead." After hearing that, Era''s eyes went dark and she seemed to see the end of the world. "We just came across each other," Jesus! I''ve never seen someone so unreasonable! Did this overbearing man want her to hang a sign of ''stay away from me''? "Do you know?" He brushed her bangs and bit her ear hard. "Do you know who the boss is here?" "How could I know? Huh... Is it... Is it you? " Jacob nodded his head and said with an arrogant and evil smile, "so, don''t be on my territory..." He put his arms around her neck, pressed against her nose and said word by word, "seduce other men! You know I have many ways to prevent you from tomorrow''s sunrise! " A chilly wind sent shivers down Era''s spine. It was as if he was a tiger who was going to eat the food. No, tiger''s n was bold from the beginning. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Well, well, well! She have been mourning for a long time... Era raised her head and said timidly, "well, Mr. Lee, since you''re the boss of the restaurant, then... You don''t have to pay for the meal with my card? " Uh... She really wants money, not life. "Of course not!" He tucked her hair behind her ear and stood up. Then he coldly said, "you can call me Jacob." He walked towards the dining area. Jacob? This name suits him. Era puckered her face, puckered her lips, jumped up and followed him, cursing in his heart. At the moment, Brooks and Anna were still sitting at the table. One was worried about Era, while the other was unwilling to wait for Era toe back and wanted to bully her. After Jacob found that someone had taken the table he reserved for her, he immediately stood up and raised his hand to find a waiter... Chapter 16 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part Three) Chapter 16 Enemies Are Destined To Meet (Part Three) "Hey, why are you still here?" Era almost bumped into his strong back. She touched her nose and asked awkwardly. As she spoke, she caught sight of a waiter talking to Brooks and Anna over there. All of a sudden, Anna looked around. She stood up and rushed to them. "Era, what do you mean? Is it amazing to find a rich man? You asked a waiter to drive us away! We eat with you to give you face. How shameless you are! " Although Anna kept her manner and didn''t shout loudly, it had already attracted the attention of several guests around. "Anna, don''t be capricious...." Brooks followed her and held her hand. "Brooks, I''m not messing around. It''s Era who is bullying me." Anna acted like a spoiled child and clinging onto Brooks''s arm. Era''s heart sank. She looked away. Her heart ached, even though she knew clearly that the love she could get was not real love, the man she could be taken away did not deserve love at all. Jacob gave her a cold nce, and his eyes were still filled with coldness. He said to the manager of the restaurant who came in a hurry with a low voice, "ording to the rules of Cachino, how to deal with this situation?" "Oh, if they make a noise in our restaurant to affect other customers, please them to leave at once. Otherwise, they will be disqualified." The manager answered with respect. "Then what are you waiting for?" There was a trace of impatience in the cold voice. "Yes." The manager nodded and said to Brooks and Anna: "I''m sorry. Pleasee to another restaurant today. Wee to our restaurant another day." "What?" Anna raised her voice, "is this the way you treat a guest? I''m going toin to your manager. And you? What are you talking about? " She pointed at Jacob, but was shocked at the moment when she looked into his eyes. This man''s eyes were even colder than usual. His eyes were as cold as if they were a pool of cold water, without the slightest trace of human emotion. He felt like being carved by an ice sculpture. Is he a human? Or a robot? However, would the robot be so handsome? This was also the second reason that Anna was stunned! The strong man with a ck robe, appeared to be a bold. He had sculptured features with striking features and had bronze skin. He was like a Greek statue. His deep and dark eyes exuded an aura of an emperor who ruled the world, making people feel pressure. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Brooks was already outstanding. But he''s more perfect. "I am the restaurant manager." The manager of the restaurant said immediately when he saw the gradually gathered hostility between Jacob''s eyebrows. He waved his hand and call for two waiters to come here. "You are? Well, that''s not a fancy restaurant. That''s how you treat your guests... " Anna couldn''t help but nce at Jacob again. He was so stylish! Having observed Jacob and Era in silence, Brooks knew that it would be more embarrassed if they continued to argue with each other. He nodded to the restaurant manager and said, "we''re leaving now." Then he took Anna''s hand and said, "let''s go, Anna." Obviously, Era and Lee didn''t look like boyfriend and girlfriend. He was relieved. But Lee gave a sinister smile. He didn''t look like an ordinary man. Whether it was for Era or for himself, he had to find out the background as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Who Is The Mastermind Of The Kidnapping (Part One) Chapter 17 Who Is The Mastermind Of The Kidnapping (Part One) "Brooks?" Anna looked at him in Brooks. How could they show the white feather? It''s just a restaurant. With the power of Qi family, how could they be afraid of them? "Let''s go!" Brooks''s attitude was firm. She had no choice but to turn around. However, before she left, she red at Era and said, "don''t count your chickens before they hatch!" Then, she said goodbye to Jacob. Looking at their backs which looked a bit messy, Era muttered, "they were driven out, so they have nothing to do with me, right?" Subconsciously, she always felt a little resistant to the idea of making public appearance to bully the weak. Jacob nced at her coldly without saying anything. Obviously, he was not in the mood to talk with her. "Yes, Miss. In order to guarantee the quality of every customer''s meal, our restaurant is very strict with the selection of membership qualification. Just now, this gentleman and his femalepanion''s behavior will make them lose a lot of quality points. " The manager of the restaurant exined to her. He nced at her with meaningful eyes. The boss doesn''te here often, especially with a woman. He couldn''t help but say a few more words. "Okay," ''I''ve always heard that customers choose restaurants. The restaurant can also choose customers. What a surprise!'' Era thought. Then, she looked at Jacob with her big eyes, believing that this man was a rich person. During the dinner, after that, a few thousand dors was used out of Era''s bank card. Era felt her heart trembling with anger, but she didn''t dare to say anything. After the dinner, they went out of the restaurant. Era stopped smiling and stood on the step nkly when Jacob went to drive. Thinking of the scene just now, Era was still sad. Only memory was left for her childhood friendship with Brooks¡ª¡ª "Era, don''t cry. I''ll protect you when your mother leaves." "Era, you naughty child. How dare you sprinkle water on me? I''ll punish you... " Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. "Era, why are you so careless? Did you get hurt? Show me. " The world was a mass of lies, She had thought that all indestructible feelings would disappear in an instant. In love, she was not a happy main character, but a superfluous foil. She would never trust men again! She can''t believe in love anymore! She hoped that a family member, connected with her blood, would never leave her, and It''s her only way to have a baby. Lost in thought, she didn''t notice several shadows emerging from the dark, "Hey, beauty. Would you like to y with me?" They moved forward quickly, with obscene and malicious expressions in their eyes. They were obviously bad. "Sorry, I..." Before Era finished her words, several men had already surrounded her and suddenly covered her mouth. She tried to get rid of them. However, they were too strong and dragged her into the car. "Let me go..." "Shut up!" "Um... Help... " "Drive the car!" One of the men held the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. Two men sat beside her and held her hands and feet. "Drive slowly. Let''s finish it as soon as possible!" "Oh my God... Don''t... " The two men ignored Era and covered her mouth. Obviously, it was a premeditated kidnapping. It could be no one but her dear sister, Anna Xu. Does Brooks know? With her eyes wide open, Era burst into tears. All of a sudden, she looked as helpless as a baby being abandoned... Chapter 18 Who Is The Mastermind Of The Kidnapping (Part Two) Chapter 18 Who Is The Mastermind Of The Kidnapping (Part Two) "Hurry up!" The man on the left in the back seat urged him impatiently. He was coveting the beauty in front of him. "This girl is so hot. She kicked me hard!" The other man made up an excuse to create the scene. Seeing that, Era closed her eyes with tears welling up on her eyshes... She sadly found that no one could call for help. The only thing that shed through her mind was the domineering cold face of the man. When Jacob drove his car here, he saw that Era was held by a ck car. He frowned and stepped on the gas. With a loud bang, the ck Porsche hit the back of the car at a gallop speed. The car lost control and rushed to the roadside guardrail. It stopped after a few bumps. "Shit! How could you drive?" They got off with swearing and then saw a tall and straight man wearing sunsses and a mysterious ck suit getting out of the Porsche. He put his hair on both sides of his cheek, looking domineering. The air around him was cold and bloodthirsty. "Boss..." The man walking in front of him was frightened by his imposing manner. "Don''t worry! Can''t so many of us beat him?" The man got off the car and ordered angrily, "beat the crap out of him!" "It''s him!" Suddenly, Era opened her tearful eyes and saw the man standing next to the car. Those men approached him with malicious looks, but he didn''t move away at all. His long fingers slowly unbuttoned two buttons, and the sunsses reflected the sharp and terrible light as a leopard. He was surrounded in the middle. It was said that he was no match for them. However, she saw Jacob punching and sweeping around, instantly knocking down several men. Jacob slowly stood up, crumpled his cor, and gave a cold nce at the car. Era got off the car and threw herself into Jacob''s arms regardless of her dress. Era wept again. She had forgotten her feud with him, and forgotten to hide, sh, and fear. She just buried her head into his arms and cried like a weak kitten. "Aha..." When he heard her crying, Jacob lowered his head and looked at her with contempt. However, he stopped when his hand touched her shivering shoulder. She was trembling so hard that she could only rely on him. It was like the only sail wood that could be grasped in the sea. Then he changed his direction and embraced her. He stepped on the man''s chest and his eyes were cold. "Tell me, who is your boss?" "¡­¡­" He suddenly stopped and trod on the man''s chest. "Aha?" He screamed like a pig being butchered, "I''ll tell you, I''ll tell you... It''s little Impatiens..." Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. His feet are pushing again. "Oh my God... She is now the second daughter of the Xu family, Anna Xu." It turned out that before Anna entered the Xu family, she had made friends with many street gangsters. She was good at dealing with all kinds of people, and her nickname was "little Impatiens". "Get out!" He folded his leg and said grimly. The man immediately moved away,pletely ignoring his companions who had been knocked out on the ground. "Your enemy?" Jacob looked down at Era''s head, but his eyes were still cold. As soon as they started fighting, he realized that these hooligans are nothing... Chapter 19 Who Is The Mastermind Of The Kidnapping (Part Three) Chapter 19 Who Is The Mastermind Of The Kidnapping (Part Three) Hearing that, Era nodded and left his arms reluctantly. Although she had figured out that the mastermind was Anna, she was disappointed when she confirmed it. "The woman in the restaurant?" Era nodded again and kept her head down. He was a stranger to her. She didn''t want him to see her cry. "She''s courting death!" The voice was gruesome and terrifying. She dared to touch his prey. That woman really wanted to die. "What do you want to do to her?" She suddenly raised her head and grabbed his arm. "That woman is so ignorant that she can''t distinguish clearly what she should or shouldn''t do. It''s a waste of air to live." Jacob said in a low and calm voice, but his words made her shudder with fear. "What... What do you mean? " Era had a bad feeling. With a cold nce at her, Jacob sneered and passed her. He went straight to Porsche, as if he didn''t bother to say anything. "You want to kill her?" Era''s eyes widened. Although she was hateful, she didn''t deserve to die! "Get in the car!" Jacob totally ignored her question, but his eyes were more gloomy. "You can''t do that! Life is not a game! " "For me, sometimes human life is as humble as an ant!" Her excitement finally piqued Jacob''s interest. Sitting in the driver''s seat, he said a few extra words as a reward to her. "You..." Era''s lips trembled. A chill came over her and froze her. How could she forget he was a killer! Life was really worthless to him! "Please, don''t do this." "What are you doing? Get in the car." There was a sense of impatience in his tone. Without hesitation, she quickly got in his luxury car. She couldn''t help but shudder at the coldness in the car, but she plucked up courage to say something. "Jacob, please, don''t kill her." "Why do you beg me, huh?" "I... She did not kill me, nor did she hurt you. Besides, please don''t meddle in my affairs. I can handle it on my own." She made up her mind, and said a series of reasons. Her eyes were clear and proud. "Wow!" He sneered and raised his eyebrows. "Very good, you have be bolder. You know what resistance is, right?" His voice was light, but strangely cold, which made Era''s skin hurt. "No, it''s not like that..." She shook her head. The team leader, who was slightly rising, ceased immediately. "Do you really want to beg me?" A satisfied smile crept across Jacob''s face, as if he was pleased by her appearance. "Yes..." After being surprised for a while, Era nodded. "Well, anybody who asks me for help must pay the price, then..." He snorted, "what are you going to do in exchange for that woman''s life?" "What?" Era suddenly stopped. She couldn''t watch Anna die like that. However, what could she do for her? After all, she didn''t have the ability to help the world. "What? Do you regret it?" After that, there was a dead silence in the car. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. A hint of irony appeared in his ck eyes. How can there really be a fool who rewards morality for evil in the world. Chapter 20 Make Me Happy To Save Her Chapter 20 Make Me Happy To Save Her "No, she didn''t." Era shook her head. Although she could not find a reason to save Anna, she hated blood. "Whatever you want." Anyway, her life was in his palm. She had nothing to lose. She was such a fool! Jacob squinted his cold eyes. He was stunned by Era''s twinkling eyes for a second. Then he bent down without hesitation and kissed her¡ª¡ª To conquer a woman as a man; He manipted her as a gamer; He was like a devil possessive an angel; Era was stunned. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. She eximed! It seemed that she smelled something bloody and spilled over her lips. That pain stung her. Last second she was almost intoxicated in his unique breath, and next second he would easily bite through her most vulnerable forbidden area! Jacob''s sharp eyes glittered and he smelt the blood around her lips. "Think about what you can do to make me happy. Maybe I''ll let her go." His cold voice reverberated in the car. "I... Say yes." Era bore the pain and nodded. She did it not for Anna, but for her great n of getting a kid. The gate of Xu family was right in front of her eyes. The setting sun shone on it, which made people look a little indifferent and cruel. "Hey, look who''s here! Miss Xu, haven''t you sworn not to step into this door again? What happened to you? Can''t you stay outside? I''m telling you, it''s not a shelter here. You can''te and go whenever you want... " Grace taunted when she saw Era. "I''m here for Anna." Era clenched her fists, endured humiliation, and the pain in her heart, and resisted the impulse to beat up Grace. She interrupted her and said. "Anna? She is out with Brooks. I don''t know when she wille back." With these words, Grace raised her head, meaning, "get out!" "I will wait for her here." Era ignored her and sat on the sofa. "Hey, Era Xu. Oh, no, I should call you Era Ling now. Didn''t you hear me? Anna didn''te back tonight. Perhaps she was preparing a romantic dinner with Brooks right now. Do you want... " A sound came... After that, Enoch went downstairs. Seeing that Era frowned, he said nothing, and sat on the sofa and picked up the tea. He didn''t even look up, as if the tea cup in his hand was more intimate than her daughter. A bitter smile emerged on Era''s lips. ''We were rtives. Why do we take each other as a passer-by?'' she wondered. "Era, if you want to move back to Xu family, just tell us. Your father and I are not narrow-minded people..." With a sweet smile, Grace sat next to Enoch. "Listen, I just want to see Anna. Today, I must see her!" After saying that in a cold voice, Era kept silent. With her eyes fixed on the enchanting red roses, she felt very sad... Chapter 21 Finally Abandoned Chapter 21 Finally Abandoned When her mother was alive, there was always a bunch of lilies, beautiful and elegant, just like her mother. It was said that women were as beautiful as flowers. If she could choose, she would rather choose a rose with thorns than a lily... "You..." Grace was so furious that she wanted to tear up Era. But in front of Enoch, she could only swallow her anger, pretending to be aggrieved. "I know it''s hard to be a stepmother. Enoch... " Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. "Alright," said Enoch, who had been wearing a cold face, and finally had a little expression. He patted Grace on the shoulder and said, "I know you''re having a hard time. I''ll take you abroad to travel a few dayster." "Really?" With a joyous smile, Grace gave a kiss to Enoch. This scene stung Era''s eyes and her eardrum ached. At this moment, she would rather be blind and deaf. As time went by, Anna still didn''te back. The Xu family started to make dinner. "Sister..." As soon as Raymond came down the stairs, he saw Era, who ran excitedly into her arms. "Hey, Raymond, it''s time to eat," Grace shouted. She felt angry. This child is so kind to Era. "Okay, let''s go to eat dinner. Raymond took Era''s hand and said, "sister, it''s time for dinner." "Raymond, when are you in charge of the house? You can''t do anything for yourself." Grace pointed at the two and turned to the servant who was cing the dishes. "Bring Raymond here." "Mom, if you don''t let sister eat, I won''t eat." Raymond pouted in protest. "Raymond, be a good boy. I''ve already eaten. You should go to eat now." Smiling and pinching his cute face, Era felt a little warm in her heart. "Really?" "Well, I..." "I''m back." Upon hearing such a high pitched voice, Anna strode into the house, followed by Brooks. A gleam shed in her eyes when she saw Era, but soon it disappeared. She became arrogant and scornful. "Hum, Era, do you still have the nerve to go back home?" "Haha..." She sneered, very cold. He walked slowly towards her. She raised her hand and pped him hard across the face. "Ling Xi, you..." She raised her hand in an attempt to fight back. "Xi Er, what are you doing?" Seeing that, Qi Zeming pulled EVA behind him and red at Ling Xi. "What?" Mrs. Liu screamed, "what? You dare to p me?" "You wicked girl! You really want to piss me off?" With a livid face, David threw the bamboo chopsticks in his hand to Xi Er. "Haha..." Era smiled grimly, her eyes full of sadness and despair. Although she had already known that she was abandoned, she still had the extravagant hope in her heart. ''Era, now you understand that no one will feel sorry for you, even if you have suffered great grievances.'' As she stared at Anna who was pitifully leaning in Brooks''s arms, she released her inner pain word by word, "Anna, you bastard!" "You..." "You can ridicule, insult and frame me. You can hate me, you can nder me everywhere. You can take away my father and my boyfriend, but why do you hire someone to kidnap me and even want to... " She was too shocked to utter these words... Chapter 22 Is It True Chapter 22 Is It True ''Rape me, '' Era choked with sobs and couldn''t speak out. At that time, she was so scared that she didn''t want to cry or give up. But she was so scared at that moment. Her tears fell down along her eyshes. She bit her lips and stared stubbornly at her. "Anna, are you a real person or not?" Tears welled up in her eyes. After wiping the tears from her hands with tissue, Era turned around smartly. Don''t cry! She told herself not to cry. From now on, she had nothing to do with anybody in this house... Seeing her leaving with pride, a tinge of pity shed across Brooks''s eyes. Even Enoch''s indifferent face changed. "Anna, did you really hire someone to kidnap..." This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "What are you talking about, Enoch? You know that Era has been jealous of Anna since she and Brooks have be together. Why did you frame my good daughter? " "Dad, I''ll be sad if you say that..." "Well, let''s eat." The Xu family sat back at the table, as if nothing had happened just now. Aftering out of the Xu family''s house, Era''s eyes were still red. After all, they had lived together for more than ten years. It was impossible for her to calm down easily. She walked and hit a car. The car was parked by the roadside and she bumped into the car carelessly. The window was slowly opened. A pair of sharp ck eyes, reflecting the light, made her heart shiver. "Jacob?" She muttered and couldn''t help but treat him as the only driftwood in the sea that she could grasp. As soon as she got on the car, she crashed into Jacob''s arms. "Woman, dare you wipe tears on me again!" He frowned and threatened coldly. She sneaked out with her eyes turning red. She hadn''t been punished yet. "Don''t move. Hold me in your arms for five minutes... Just five minutes." Then, she nuzzled him like a cat. His cold ck eyes softened a little by her lovely action. He arrogantly said, "remember, I''ll get my pay." He had held her slender waist. Five minutester, she looks refreshed. "Jacob, can you drive now?" His eyes softened. This woman! She seems to have changed. When the night fell, Era sat in a daze in the room. She was determined to find someone to have a baby, but her heart still beat fast in front of the actual battle. It turned out that there was always a big gap between think and work. The bathroom was still warm. In the water was Jacob''s strong and slim body. It seemed that the bathtub was too small for him. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the size. "Come here and help me scrub my back." His voice was cold and irresistible. Era suddenly trembled. After hesitating for a moment, she opened the ss door. Then, the hot steam came out and spread over her hair and her face. She lifted her eyes and looked at the man in the bathtub. His bronze skin glittered in the mist. The crystal clear water drops hung on his handsome face. He looked very charming and profound! Her heart was stung and she looked down. Era was embarrassed to realize that even her ears were burning. "Why are you still standing there? Haven''t you seen it?" Impatience started to show in his low voice, and a trace of ridicule appeared at the corners of his thin and cold lips. "Sorry!" Like a frightened rabbit, Era scurried to the bathtub and squatted down. Chapter 23 Is That All You Can Do Chapter 23 Is That All You Can Do The next moment, her pointed chin was raised by the man''s slender fingers. The force was very gentle, but it was not easy to avoid. "Is that all you can do?" Era gave him a stare and didn''t respond. She quickened her pace to apply the body wash on him. Her action repeated automatically... Her clothes were a little wet because of the water vapor in the bathroom. Somehow, Jacob''s eyes darkened. Damn it, when did he be so frivolous. upset! "Woman, do you know how to do?" p! p! The water boomed twice! He seemed to vent his anger and pped the spray. The water sshed everywhere and drenched Era''s hair. "Ah!" With a scream, the brush held in Era''s hand slipped from her fingers all of a sudden. Damn it! In fact, she wanted to throw the brush to this moody man. She frowned and stared at Jacob, as if she was staring at a swift and violent beast. "What do you want?" "What''s the matter?" Jacob nced at her coldly, "my idea is very simple. Are you sure that you don''t know that?" "You..." Era bit her lips hard, cursing him in her heart that he''d better be drowned in the bathtub. Looking at each other, the steaming bathroom turned the steam from water to ice debris instantly! "Take a shower, right? Okay. " After a long while, her attitude changed and a smile appeared on her face.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. It was a smile with a meek and obedient invitation to the man, but it was so beautiful that nobody could take his eyes off it. Even though he was as cold as Jacob, he was a little stunned and lost for a moment. She walked up obediently and took a wooden basin, slowly filling it with water. When he was distracted, the smile on her face disappeared suddenly. She raised the wooden basin, the water... The water was sshed down... Jacob was like a drowned rat! Water dripped down his stern face. Era was pleased to see him embarrassed, but when she saw him staring at her, she threw the wooden basin away. "Well, you asked me to help, which is much faster than bathing, isn''t it?" She deliberately avoided his eyes. Although she was happy just now, she forgot that this man was an unruly person. If she would lose her life because of this traitorous action. As expected, Jacob''s jaw was a bit stiff. He stared at her in a cold and profound way that she could not understand. Era took a step back subconsciously. Although he was not angry, he might be able to point the dark weapon at her in the next moment. You must take good care of yourself... Impulse is the devil! However, she was caught by his big hand all of a sudden. She took a breath and threw herself into the bathtub, pressing on Jacob... With a mischievous smile, he said mischievously, "woman, you''ve pissed me off!" Era shivered at his low and attractive voice. Was she going to die for a basin of water? She felt his warm hand reach to her corbone with his thumb. "Uh..." Era felt hurt and attempted to beg for mercy. "I was just joking with you! A great man rarely stoops to pettiness. Will you forgive me once?" She rubbed her fists, blinked her beautiful eyes, looking pathetic and aggrieved... Chapter 24 Im Not Intentional Chapter 24 I''m Not Intentional It''s like she didn''t do that prank. How could ady like her be so evil? She almost reached out her middle finger and hypnotized Jacob''s deep and cold eyes, "illusion. Illusion. It''s an illusion." "I was just kidding with you. I need to lighten the mood before it begins, haha... " She swore that she didn''t want to be the prey when he was angry. Era swallowed and poked him in the chest with her finger, trying to make her voice sound charming and lovely, "Jacob, don''t you know that?" Even if she hadn''t tried to please him, his body had started to respond! Not depressing at all, "open your mouth!" He ordered coldly. "You are always like this." He suddenly pushed her away in a cold tone. "You are as stiff as a piece of wood! Don''t forget, I don''t have the obligation to satisfy you, but you have to make me happy. " His words were sharp and ruthless, without any tenderness. Damn you! Era cursed him in her mind. But her heart was beating so fast that it seemed not belong to her anymore. Closing her eyes, she saw a lovely smile in front of her, stretching out her chubby arms... Immediately, she got up the courage. After eliminating the desperate resistance and fear in her heart, she slowly stretched out her little hand to button¡ª¡ªone, two, three... Luckily, the hot steam had covered her body, so she didn''t feel ashamed and flinch again... For the sake of her n, Era tried her best to put down her self-esteem. She was ready to risk everything at this moment. Squinting his handsome eyebrows, Jacob felt a prick in his heart at the sight of her soft and shy kiss. She always surprises him. However, her breath was in chaos, and her trembling arms exposed her nervousness and childishness. If she was unwilling to do it, why did she force herself to do it! Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Jacob was not strong enough to force a woman to have sex with him. Then, he waved a cold hand to get rid of Era''s soft body. "Do you think you can get me into bed with your stupid and stiff appearance? Stop daydreaming! I can''t guarantee that someone was killed because I was in a bad mood! " His charming lips parted, his gloomy eyes devoid of any emotion. Although Era could not see his face, she still felt his coldness. She bit her lips and hurriedly put on her clothes. Shit! She really wanted to question him, "are you a man or not? He was even more vicious than a shrew! And he was even more wilful than a rude woman! " Chapter 25 Study Hard Chapter 25 Study Hard Era was so angry that she almost wanted to give in. It was insulting to bargain with him. However, she wants a family very much. There''s no end to the n to have children. . Since she had already put her self-esteem in the ground, she didn''t care about being beaten a few more times. Then she put on a pitiful and fawning smile and said, "I, I don''t have any experience." "Inexperienced? Okay, I''ll give you two days to learn. If you do that tomorrow night, I''ll punish you! " I promise, I will study hard and be better." Era stood up and swore. She breathed a sigh of relief. She finally escaped from the disaster tonight. But tomorrow... This man was capricious, cold, ruthless and merciless. She was afraid that he would not only fail to give her a child, but also kill her. A faint smile appeared on Jacob''s cold lips. He always worshiped perfection! He didn''t want any ws. Sweet peaches taste best when they are most mature. In order to get the most delicious peaches, he could hold it a little bit! ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. After racking her brain for a day, Era decided to move the "battlefield of temptation" to "charming world". Although she had been here only for a few times, she knew it was a paradise for men to have fun. Then she took Jacob to enter the entryway on the right, where there was arge performance stage which could hold a hundred people. In order to make it easier for the audience to interact, there were no tables or chairs in it, and it was now crowded. On the stage, a very charming dance was performed. The dancers were decorated with dazzling diamonds, with colorful feathers on their heads. In the flow of light, they danced neatly. Although it was dark under the stage, there were already some people who couldn''t help but swing their bodies wantonly... With the switch of music, the dancers left the stage elegantly, and several men and women came on the stage. The rhythm of the music was even more dynamic, and the audience below the stage began to do the same thing. Era was close to Jacob, so she could clearly smell his breath and feel the heat on his body. She could touch every part of his body, which was the effect she wanted. Music gave her intelligence, and the stage gave her courage. Jacob held his breath. He had to admit that this woman was very good at using the environment. As soon as the music was over, he came to embrace Era''s soft, warm body, with a less cold expression on his face... He wanted to continue flirting with her, but Era pushed him away gently and smiled at him gracefully. With affectionate eyes, she moved her body back step by step and slowly hid in the crowd... Such a charming fairy! Jacob smiled knowingly. She would y the game of pursuing game with him. Era walked out of the show light and smiled to Jacob who followed her there. Then she continued to move forward. She led him into a dark corridor, leaning against a wooden door with slight breath, and staring at himing closer. The charming world. Under the dim light, Era''s beautiful face seemed to be covered with ayer of mist. Everything was done in an incredibly exquisite way. Jacob''s heart shook, and his eyes were wide open. Without hesitation, he picked her up and broke into the dim room behind her... Chapter 26 Is This What She Wants Chapter 26 Is This What She Wants There was only one singlemp in the room which was on the wall. The soft light reflected on her white skin, like the light emitted by herself, which was sparkling and smooth like a pearl. He knew she was beautiful, but he never thought she would be so gorgeous. Was it really what she wanted? She responded. A question shed through her mind. Even if her body got stiff for a moment, it was detected by Jacob. He suddenly released her and stood up. How could she be distracted by his perfect requirement? "Woman, you failed again!" He looked at her and said coldly. "I know." Lying on the bed, Era was breathless. She thought everything would go well. Damn it! She was wrong again! He was so sensitive that he would not allow her to have a little self- esteem. Behind the red cloth curtain was the backstage of the performance show. It was very noisy. In the compartment, the bare dancers were changing their clothes. The corridor was long and dark. Era walked alone. Every time she needed to think, she liked to hide in a dark corner, and unconsciously, she walked here. When Jacob returned to the hotel, he didn''t seem to worry about that Era would escape. When Era said that she would go backter, he turned around and left. It was unknown whether he trusted Era''s character or his ability to track targets? Era walked aimlessly. She could feel the music and noises of the stage were fading away, and the corridor became darker and darker... Curling up in a corner, she buried her face in her palm. Now her life was like this noisy and messy stage, in which there was no direction. Was this her wishful thinking or the so-called "good things are a long time ining"... Suddenly, a low sob of a woman interrupted her meditation. She stood up and followed the sound. After walking a few steps, she was shocked by the hot scene. The feathers on the woman''s head were shaking wildly, and even the wall seemed to be rattled with their movements. As a result, they didn''t notice that Era was involved in the fierce game... Era was shocked by the hot scene. Would she stop being proud after she became a dancer? She didn''t know the answer? But she knew she could have a try... The next day, they went to the "charming world" again. The rehearsal hall was already packed with people, at the backstage ¡ª¡ª Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Zack, Shirley''s foot suddenly sprained tonight, and there was one less dancer here. What should we do?" A coquettish girl said to a man in a Hawaiian shirt with an orchid finger... Chapter 27 Mysterious Guest Chapter 27 Mysterious Guest "Damn it! It''s not the time to get a sprain. The show is about to begin. Boss said there will be a mysterious guest here tonight. " Ridiculously, Zack turned out that these girls were not assured of this matter at all. . "The ''Fire Phoenix'' is the soul show of our nightclub. Are you going to tell me that you want to y the ''Headless Phoenix''? !" Zack scolded with both hands on his hips, frowning. Look at these disappointing girls. How could they screw things up at such a crucial moment! "I... I can have a try... " A delicate voice came to Zack''s ears. He hurriedly looked for the source of the voice, and saw a beautiful girl walking out from a corner. "You mean you can dance the ''Fire Phoenix''?" Hearing this, Zack''s eyes lit up. It seemed that he had found a lifeless ring. He went to the girl in a hurry, "are you new here? Who brought you here?" When the girl saw Aaron, she smiled bashfully and said in a low voice, "it''s Julie who brought me here." Julie was the dancing director of "Fire Phoenix". Therefore, when hearing that it was Julie, Zack didn''t hesitate, he hastily said, "change your dancing clothes. The show will begin in five minutes!" "Okay!" The girl nodded, her eyes shed a cunning smile. Jacob! You wait. I''ll give you a hot dance tonight! I''ll tear off your cold shell and capture you! With brisk music, nine beautiful women in phoenix dress and phoenix mask appeared in the show. All of the women were exquisitely beautiful and had a curvy figure. Their every move and every smile were so enchanting that the men off the stage whistled and apuded. Jacob stared at her coldly under the stage. As a matter of fact, he didn''t like to watch these show. He was more interested in her. She had been busy the whole day. He believed that she would be special. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. He was like a leopard, patiently steel his ws, waiting for his prey to appear... Just before the dance was about to end, one of the women suddenly jumped to the front of the stage. Her appearance caused the other eight women to be panicked. This performance wasn''t in the "Fire Phoenix". Fortunately, they were all experienced dancers. As long as the audience had good reaction, they were happy to dance behind the women. Jacob was slightly shaken by the woman''s hot dance. She was really stunning. Although he couldn''t see the eyes covered by the eye mask, he could feel that someone was watching him closely. Staring at the woman on the stage, Jacob smiled. If she just wanted to attract his attention, then she seeded. She was standing in front of Jacob and suddenly pulled down the musk with her waving dress. She was so beautiful that people screamed! However, before the audience could see clearly her face, the mask suddenly covered her eyes, which was so fast! Jacob finally understood what was going on in his eyes. He was right. She was Era, who had been nowhere to be found. She smiled mischievously when she noticed the amazement in his icy eyes. She knew it! She knew it! Fortunately, she was aware of the dance of "Fire Phoenix" early, so she would cost a lot of money to ask Shirley to teach her. She grasped the essence as soon as a day, and they cooperated tonight to let her go on the stage. Now, she needed to... Make herself more sexy! Chapter 28 Add More Fire Chapter 28 Add More Fire At the thought of this, Era made an action that let the man under the stage gape ¡ª¡ª Hiss! She tore her dress! Her deft and sexy move won cheers and acmation in the hall immediately! Then, she casually threw away the broken hemline of her dress, and she showed her several rotating and jumping skills perfectly... After the dance, Era pressed her red lips with her little hand and threw a charming kiss. Then she walked out of the tform. "Well done!" Zack gave her a thumbs up. She smiled shyly and gazed smartly at the entrance to the backstage. As soon as the familiar tall figure appeared. Run! When she saw himing over, she reacted this way. Because Shirley told her that what a man couldn''t get was the best... So she turned around and rushed to the back of the stage! "Era Ling!" Jacob''s voice came from behind her, and she could not help but chuckle when she run with light steps. Men are all the same. She was tired! She ran all the way down the backstage, exhaling... She was too tired! In the dark corridor, Jacob held Era in his arms, turned around, locked her hands over her head and pressed one leg against her struggling body. All this was done at one go. "Uh... Jacob..." Licking her lips, Era tried to get over the shock and put on an enchanting smile. He didn''t expect that his name woulde out of her mouth in such a charming and attractive way. Without any hesitation, Jacob bowed his head... His breath passed through her mouth to every part of her body and took away all her strength. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Shirley was right. Men are not the only ones who have a crush on a woman... Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came through the corridor, with the light of shed by the shlight. Shocked, Era stretched out her hand and tried to push Jacob away. But he acted as if nothing had happened. His eyes were cold. He didn''t let her go, but took her directly into the small room behind him. Inside was a prop room. A square table was ced in the middle of the room. Era suddenly froze and bit her lip in fear of making any sound... This feeling agitated but mixed with a hint of pleasure. As time passed, the corridor fell into silence again... Chapter 29 Make You Satisfied Chapter 29 Make You Satisfied Jacob didn''t look as cold as usual anymore. Until she was tired and fell asleep. Silently he took her to a mysterious and quiet seaside vi. In the morning, Era opened her sleepy eyes and was stunned. The vi in front of her was as beautiful as a fairy tale. Blue was the main hue. The sky-blue curtains, white walls, watercolor mural, as well as the blue bed sheet in her hand... She rubbed her eyes to make sure that it wasn''t an illusion. She ran to the door barefoot on a soft Persian carpet, and four men dressed like bodyguards stood outside the door, wearing ck suits, ck shoes and even ck ties. They looked frightening in the dim corridor. "Miss Ling, godfather is out. He asked us to take good care of you. Please feel free to let us know if you need anything. Your breakfast will be ready, you could go downstairs for breakfast after you wash." Steven was a bodyguard who had worked for Jacob for nearly ten years. He was well-trained and strong. Wearing a ck suit, he looked calm and capable, while there was a nk expression on his face, just like the other bodyguards did. However, when he spoke, his dark eyes still shed a little when he looked at Era. This is the first time he saw the godfather bring a woman back. Moreover, the woman was covered with a veil. What was more unbelievable was that godfather had changed clothes for her in person. He had never served anyone since Steven started to live with him, even his father Cole and his stepmother Elizabeth. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Well... Okay. " Era doesn''t fit in with his new identity. Oh, my god! That overbearing man was actually educating the godfather!? She''s hard to deal with a normal killer, He''s the leader! She was worried... Can she live if she regrets now? Chapter 30 the reflection of Joseph Chapter 30 the reflection of Joseph She stammered downstairs. The food looks delicious, but Era''s appetite was hardly aroused. "You," Steven ordered the men in ck, "go to the kitchen and ask the chef to continue preparing breakfast until Miss Ling is satisfied." "You, go to remove the food on the table." Therefore, half an hourter, a more delicious breakfast was served in front of Era. She was surprised to see Steven. "If you are not satisfied with it, I can order the cook to prepare it for you..." "No, thanks." Era quickly waved her hand and began to eat. She didn''t want to be used of wasting food. Besides, she hade round. She couldn''t starve to death before she was killed by that godfather. When she heard the sound of waves just now, she finished eating and enjoyed the sea view. Even if she died tomorrow, she must live a wonderful life today! ''Listen to the cry of the sea, who sighed and who hurt his heart. Still in aa. It can''t be me, at least I''m calm. But tears don''t believe it. Listen to the cry of the sea, this sea is too passionate. Cry till dawn...'' It had never urred to her that she would sing in such a voice. Her clear and hoarse voice was full of mncholy. Thisbination of contradictions andbination perfectly matched her. In the sea breeze, Jacob stood there quietly. The sad song was constantly heard by the wind, and his icy ck eyes became a little warm. "Oh, do I have a daze? Jacob will also stare at a girl for so long." This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Elizabeth?" Jacob turned around. Why didn''t he notice hering? Did he lose his alertness, or did Elizabeth walk more like a cat without a sound? "Haha, I was just joking because you were bored. I came to amuse you, but I didn''t expect you to be so addicted to it." "Do you think that I will forgive your silly joke by saying that?" "I thought you would show up half a year later. But now, it doesn''t matter." Jacob coldly said. "Jacob," Elizabeth blinked and said, "don''t be so mean. It''s just a joke. Besides, I''m your mommy, and I love you the most... " "Shut up!" What he hated most was women speaking in his ear. "Okay," Elizabeth didn''t care about his rude attitude at all. She smiled and changed the topic. "Let''s talk about that girl." "Why don''t you think about yourself when you have time?" "Are you caring about me, Jacob?" Elizabeth added with a charming smile, "but to be honest, I have a feeling that the girl was simr to you since the first sight I saw her..." "Simr?" Jacob squinted at her coldly. Was Elizabeth blind? Can''t she tell the difference between men and women? Elizabeth smiled, "it''s not because you looks like each other, but the feeling. Both of you have tenacious spirit and loneliness; to some extent, you are from the same kingdom on earth. Your father often tells me that you''re cruel sometimes, but you take it for granted. Your heart and body only live for yourself. You''re a person who can live on your own even if no one cares about you. Like the Joseph in the legend, he only loves the reflection in the water. What if the reflection in the water one day be solid? Will you have feelings for her? " Jacob gave her a cold nce. "Elizabeth, you are talking too much," "Jacob, you don''t know how to love." Elizabeth''s tone suddenly turned stern. " That''s also the reason why you were being cheated. As for human beings, they will grow up after experiencing some setbacks... " Chapter 31 She Is His Joy Chapter 31 She Is His Joy "Humph, I will make those who cheated me regret doing such a stupid thing in their lives!" Jacob just ignored Elizabeth''s words. "Whatever," Elizabeth waved her hand casually. Then there was a loud boom in the sky. A helicopter suddenly flew over them and they saw thedder put down. "Jacob, good-bye." Then, she climbed up to the softdder and instantly rose up. In the sky, she smiled coquettishly and threw many kisses to Jacob... That is... Mrs. Ye?! Hearing the familiar voice, Era raised her head. She set Jacob up, but why did she show up here? ''What''s the rtionship between Jacob and she? Is she... His woman? Although she looked a few years older than Jacob, she''s full of femininity, which believed that no man could escape. Humph! That bully man has so many women! "Come here, woman!" Jacob waved his hand towards Era who was in a daze. Era turned her head. He stood straight in the sea wind, with a straight stature, a broad chest and a handsome face of mixed blood. He was cold and profound. His eyes were shining like a leopard, attracting her sight like a ma... "Come here!" Seeing that she was just staring at him, a hint of displeasure shed through Jacob''s eyes. ''You are so hateful. Do you treat me as a pet?'' My stay and leave all depend on him. While she was comining in her mind, she walked up to Jacob obediently. "Do you want to go surfing?" "What?" Era didn''t expect that he would ask such a question. Her mind went nk for two seconds, and then she nodded desperately, "well..." Surfing! To be passionate and free in the sea was always what she longed for! But she just don''t have a chance to learn it... Was he going to teach her? "But, I don''t know how to..." She said in a low voice and looked at Jacob with expectant eyes. Looking at her lovely face, a hint of tease shed through his icy eyes. Jacob asked, "do you want to learn it?" "Yes, yes..." She nodded again. "Okay." "Yeah!" Before she cheers, she heard such words¡ª¡ª "Think about it tonight and try something new. Maybe tomorrow, I will teach you personally." "Oh? Unbelievable!" Era was suddenly stunned. Jacob had turned around and left. "Humph!" Era reached out her index finger to the man''s back. ''Huh! How dare you make fun of me!'' she thought. However, she thought for a while and came up with a new offer. Did it mean that she was very sessful previously and her life was saved sessfully? "By the way," Jacob suddenly turned around and stared at the little finger which was toote to take back. Even though Era reacted quickly, she put her hand behind her back and whined, "ha ha..." He put on a ttering smile and said, "what else can I do for you?" "That pair of shoes..." His slender fingers were tied to the shoes on the beach. "That pair of shoes is limited edition, by your card." What? Era frowned and thought, ''what did he mean? A momentter, she turned around and ran towards the sea. The style of the shoes might be a limited edition of "Monika". That brand has at least four digits. Her money... However, she saw the shoes in front of her, one of them was far away No! My shoes... Era could only reach out and pick up the only one. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. s, she shook her head. Even though she was distressed for that, she cared about life more. She wouldn''t have risked her life just for a shoe. "No money, no disaster..." She mumbled and walked back. Now and then, she turned her head to see if the one was returned by the waves. Looking at the woman who was reciting, a touch of smile appeared in Jacob''s icy eyes. Is this girl really simr to him? He doubted it very much, but his decision to bring her back was obviously correct. She had brought much joy to him. Look! By this moment, he had no more depression! In the evening, Jacob reclined on the bedzily, gently pecked the wine in his ss and asionally looked up to hear the sound of water from the bathroom. He wore a ck shirt with a closed cor and two buttons were unbuttoned. He didn''t dressed up formally, but he still looked cold. When thest drop of wine was drunk, he stretched his arms and leaned against the back of the bed. He closed his eyes and swallowed... At the moment, he was even more charming without apathy! After a long time, he didn''t see Erae out. He stood up, walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door. He frowned, staring at the door as if he could see through it. "Woman,e out in 30 seconds. Otherwise, you know the consequences! " The corner of Jacob''s mouth rose up, and he looked like a noble cheetah who was waiting to peck his prey wildly... He found that his expectation on this woman''s tricks seemed to be even more sex. "Woman, three, two, one..." He waited and waited, but there was no reply from inside. All of a sudden, Jacob realized that something was wrong. He took a step back and kicked open the bathroom door. He rushed into the bathtub and found that Era seemed to have lost consciousness. He flicked her wet hair and cursed, "Damn it!" Then he took her out of the bathroom andy her on the softrge bed in the bedroom. Is this her new trick? Such a special girl! Gritting his teeth, Jacob stared at the sleeping beauty on the bed. He was not interested in raping a woman who had no consciousness! When Jacob decided to go out and find the doctor, Era opened one of her eyes, stretched out one of her fingers and poked his powerful arm naughtily... "Uh, that... Jacob... " "Are you kidding me?" Jacob turned back and squinted his deep and dangerous sight. He held her chin and asked coldly, "did you pretend to me just now?" "No," Era shook her head, "I was indeed asleep." But he woke up when he held her in his arms. Now, she was just a canary raised in the vi, without worrying about food and clothing, and her life... Her life is safe for the time being. So she just wanted to make fun of him. "Era Ling!" "Thank you for remembering my name rather than the word ''woman''!" She smiled at him, blew out her pink tongue cutely, and grabbed the quilt to cover her naked body. She said seriously, "I was thinking hard on how to make you happy. Then I was too tired and fell asleep." "Really?" His eyes were burning with fire. She was really dutiful! A shiver ran down Era''s spine. She hurried into the quilt, peeked at him, and closed her eyes again. She nced again and regretted not closing it! She had forgotten that his nature was as ruthless as a leopard that would devour his prey without mercy! She forgot what price she had to pay if the beast was irritated? ? Chapter 32 Blocked Surfing (Part One) Chapter 32 Blocked Surfing (Part One) Jacob put his big hand on Era''s shoulder and squinted at her with narrowed eyes. He said with a mischievous smile, "you know what? I hate to be cheated most, and you''re not the first time!" Era shivered at his low maic voice. Oh, my God! She seemed to have forgotten it! "Haha..." Blinking her big eyes, Era began to exin it hardly, "Okay, okay, I admit that I have failed. I racked my brains toe up with a way, that is, pretend to be asleep so that you cane to a hero to rescue the beauty. Don''t you think it''s special? Isn''t it warm and romantic? It seems that you has been used to eating delicious food and you needs to order some side dish... " She peeped at his eyes, which were still as cold as in December. She dropped her shoulders and said pitifully, "I have only these power. It''s my fault that you are not satisfied with me. If you want to kill me, you can dispose of me at your will." "Okay." He only gave her one word. "What?" ''Does he really kill me because of this joke?'' Era asked herself, dumbfounded. However, he threw his tie away and his bronze chest came closer to her... He put his hands on her shoulders and lowered his head, not allowing her to resist. She was talking nonsense, but he couldn''t hear her clearly. It was very simple! Desire to hit his heart made it harder for him to restrain himself. "Woman, this is your consequence!" When Jacob lowered his head and bit her, Era held the sheet and said, "Hey, don''t bite me, ah..." Was this man a dog? He bite me! Jacob raised his eyes and looked at her with satisfaction. He found that he marked his mark on her beautiful corbone. She was his! There was no other possibility! They continued their romantic night. The next day The endless sea was covered with immense waves. Sitting on the rocking chair on the beach, Era was enjoying the sea view and beach y. When those bodyguards in ck didn''t beat or kill each other, they were actually pretty nice. They were just like Jacob. After getting along with him for a long time, I found that he was just like a paper tiger. It had been more than twenty days since they had met that night. Anyway, it was sort of a coincidence that they met here by chance. She might miss him when she left. She smiled and looked at the sea. She wanted to be there. That domineering man had promised to teach her to go surfing, but now nobody knew where he was! Bang! A ball suddenly fell to her feet and rolled a few times. "Miss Ling, please throw the ball over." Steven waved his hand and said. "Okay." Era stood up, raised the ball and rolled it over her head. Then she put down the ball. "Hey, can you go surfing?" "Surfing?" "Godfather''s surfing skills is the best here!" "Can you do that?" "I can surf a little." Among the four of them, Aaron was the most lively. "But..." "Don''t be hesitant. It''s okay as long as you teach me. That''s the deal!" Era snapped his fingers, her face so bright that nobody dared to refuse her.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Miss Ling, you can do warm-up exercise first, and then we will show youter." Aaron was holding a surfing board, looking handsome in the sunshine. "Okay. You must teach meter. And don''t call me Miss Ling again. Just call me Era. " Era waved her hand straightforward. She had changed into a bikini. Although her figure was not as hot as Anna''s, she was very fit. These young and energetic bodyguards didn''t dare to look at her directly. Are you kidding? She''s the godfather''s Woman. If godfather found that they dared to stare at his woman, they might be killed! But this little girl was lively, lovely and easygoing. They liked her! "Era, have you ever polished wax?" "Is there anything wrong with the lifejacket?" "Era, fasten the safety belt." "Okay. No problem. Can we leave now?" Twenty minutester, when Jacob returned to the vi, he found that his woman was going to go surfing with his four subordinates. They seemed to get along very well with each other. "Era, please calm down when you are on the surfing board. Don''t be afraid, we will protect you..." Just as Aaron said while picking up a surfing board for Era, he suddenly froze when he raised his head. "God... Godfather... " Standing there coldly, Jacob narrowed his eyes. He was as cold and ruthless as the Satan. The men who were facing the sea immediately turned back and stood straight, bowing their head and trembling. Looking around, Era said, "don''t me them. I forced them to teach me surfing." Well, this man had to change the way he conducted himself. Look, his subordinates were scared. At this moment, this woman seemed to havepletely forgotten her situation. "Really?" Jacob said in a low but firm voice. "Yes..." "It was my fault that I didn''t stop her. She was too young to know the dangers of deep sea waves. It was my fault." Steven shed by and interrupted Era, then epting his mistake. A man should never be held ountable by a little girl. When did they get along so well? Jacob frowned and didn''t like the feeling of being out of control. "Are you still standing here knowing you are dereliction of duty?" The four of them followed his orders and ran on the sand barefoot. "Two hours." Jacob said coldly. "Two hours? Do you want to tire them to death? We are on the beach... " Era blurted out. But as soon as she saw the cold eyes, she couldn''t help but shiver. "You want to plead for them?" He got close to her slowly, with an indifferent smile in his eyes. Chapter 33 Blocked Surfing (Part Two) Chapter 33 Blocked Surfing (Part Two) Era swallowed and looked at him vigntly, "what do you want?" This hateful man had been threatening her from the very beginning. "Nothing." Suddenly, he straightened up and said, "you want to learn surfing?" "What? ¡­¡­ "Well." he changed the topic at such a fast speed that people couldn''t even tter him. "All right." He looked at the sky and the sea gracefully. "Today, just stop as long as you can stand up from the surfing board." That meant if she couldn''t do it, they would have a long day to quit? Era shook her head. "No." She was not so confident in her sport nerve. If she couldn''t stand up, she would be a threat to them. "No?" He looked sideways at her with a smile on his lips. His evil look looked like the devil. "Are you rejecting me?" "I..." Era really want to muster up my courage to argue with Jacob. But how could this Satan understand the truth of the world? "Their fates are in your hands." While saying that, he took a nce at the surfing board below Era''s feet. That is to say, Era have no right to refuse. Era clenched her fists, trying to resist the impulse to blow up his gloating handsome face. "Teach me." She gritted her teeth and said. He raised his eyebrows and took a surfing board aside to go to the sea. He couldn''t help but tease her and watch her changing expression. Now, he really wanted to see her unhappy face. She should have the ability to sympathize with others! "I only demonstration for three times." After saying that in a cold voice, he logged on the surfing board... Era stood by the sea. It could be seen that the tall figure of Jacob was undting in the vast sea with the waves. His action was forceful and beautiful. She was taken aback. It was no wonder that people said that the most handsome and cool fitness exercise while surfing was worthy of the man''s performance. In a roundabout way, Jacob got out of the waves and looked at her coldly, "do you understand?" Era nodded and shook her head again. She was only looking at the painting, so she didn''t understand. "You have two other chances." With a cold nce at her, he continued moving forward with a surfing board... Era calmed herself down and didn''t dare to think too much, so she had finally figured out what was happening. When she had really set her foot on the surfing board, she had found that it was almost impossible for her to stand up against the waves in a short time! Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. However, when he looked at Steven and Aaron... She gritted her teeth. No matter how hard it was, she had to rush! At least she had tried for them and didn''t leave them behind. Era had worked very hard, but no matter how hard she had tried, she was not able to keep a surfing board in front of the waves, let alone stand up casually. The sun was getting stronger and stronger. She felt a little dizzy because of the constant light. But they were still running and she couldn''t stop. It was her fault. She shouldn''t have tried to reason with that overbearing man from the very beginning. In Jacob''s cold ck eyes, her pretty and clumsy figure made some ripples. He thought she would cry to beg him if she was hurt by the waves. However, she had been struggling for more than an hour. Even though she was stumbled and disheveled by the waves, she was still trying to climb on the surfing board. What makes her so persistent? Just because of them? They had known each other for less than one day. He was getting more and more confused with her... When he looked at the sea surface, it was already empty... Chapter 34 Blocked Surfing (Part Three) Chapter 34 Blocked Surfing (Part Three) In an instant, the stubborn shadow was gone. There''s only one surfboard up and down in the waves... Without hesitation, Jacob jumped into the sea... A big wave had thrown Era exhausted away from the surfing board. She closed her eyes and felt her body was heaving along with the waves. She was really tired. She didn''t have any strength and didn''t want to open her eyes. ''Just let her go with the flow. That''s good, '' she thought... "Era Ling..." Suddenly, the cold voice prated her brain and she opened her eyes. Are you all right, Era Ling! Your life is given by mom. How can you give up so easily. At the thought of this, she lifted her arms and tried to pull the water out. Help... When she was about to say something. Bang, another wave came and swept her delicate body deep into the sea... She couldn''t die... But her body is so heavy... Unable to control her body and consciousness, Era got angry. She didn''t want to die here! No! Call her name! Now! She had ever read in a book that although humans lost their consciousness when they were on the verge of death, they would still react to their own name instinctively... At this moment, how much he hoped that someone could wake up her name through the thick fog... Call her. Call her now! She didn''t want to die! Era fell into aa, she was screaming in her dream. "Era Ling!" A cold and sharp voice prated her eardrum. Who! She curled her lips and wondered if there were really some people in the world who cared about her? Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. "Era... What''s wrong with Miss Ling?" When Jacob dragged Era to the beach, a few people came up in a hurry. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. "Godfather, do artificial respiration quickly." Said Aaron. When Jacob heard his words, he wrinkled his cold eyebrows, but in the next moment, he knelt down on one leg and bent over to kiss Era''s lips... Well... Aaron wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had thought that he had said something wrong. However, godfather was so special to Era. So obvious and possessive, it seemed that they couldn''t even touch it! Era was still in a daze. She felt that someone was passing her strength through her mouth bit by bit. She raised her eyes and saw a handsome, extraordinary face. "You called me just now?" She asked dully. However, Jacob didn''t intend to answer her question. He stood up and carried her towards the vi. "Is that you?" It was really important to her! She grabbed his clothes and pleaded. He couldn''t help but be touched. Jacob answered coolly, "is there anyone else here besides me?" He meant admitting! Era smiled, let go of her hand, leant safely in his arms and closed her eyes. "Thank you." Jacob, thank you for being at the crucial moment of life and death, for making me feel that I haven''t been abandoned by the world! His steady steps were a little disturbed by the two words. It was the first time that someone said this to him! Jacob didn''t know how to describe the feeling in his heart, which was strange but not disgusting... "Clean yourself." He put her in front of the bathroom, and his tone was not as cold as usual. "Okay." Era nodded and pushed the door of the bathroom open. Then she turned back and said, "Uh... They... " "They are preparing the lunch." In fact, he was never cruel to his brother. "Oh, thank you." Era walked into the bathroom at ease. He was not as ruthless as he looked. Jacob stared at the closed bathroom door with his cold eyes, lost in thought. Chapter 35 Play On The Beach With Ease (Part One) Chapter 35 y On The Beach With Ease (Part One) In the afternoon, they strolled on the beach, looking at the blue ocean and stamping their feet... This warm and sweet scene almost surprised everyone, including Steven and Aaron. Uh... Since when did their great godfather be so gentle? Looking down at their holding hands, Era snickered. She just tried to invite him to go for a walk by the sea. He didn''t say anything, but held her hand instead. His big hand was warm and he held her hand tightly. It was like a tall harbor, giving her an inexplicable sense of security. As he walked, she found that he was not that annoying although he was cold. When the waves surged, he held her in his arms and said nothing coldly. He was noble and cold like an emperor. She couldn''t help but look down at their hands which were holding each other, and casually nced at their feet. "Jacob, your feet are so big." Era was so lovely that her nose wrinkled. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Squinting at her white and delicate feet, Jacob rudely stepped on her feet and said, "I can step on your feet now!" "Uh... I don''t want it! " Era immediately got rid of her. She stomped on him with her fair skinned feet, turned around and ran away. She rubbed her eyelids and made a face at him deliberately. "Come on! Come on! Stomp on me!" "Era Ling!" He frowned, wondering why she wasn''t afraid of him anymore. "Why are you angry?" Era ran back to him, raised her feet and pressed his arms. "Come and smile at me. Don''t give me a cold smile. Give me a charming smile... " She was not afraid of him anymore, because he had called her soul back from the sea. In return, she would be responsible for finding his happiness back. He hasn''t smiled for a long time! No one had ever dared to make such a joke on him, and no one had dared to act so recklessly in front of him. Jacob really wanted to get angry, but when he looked at her beautiful face full of sunshine, his anger disappeared instantly. "Shut up!" He just pushed her hand away. "Don''t you know that? I''m born to be a troublemaker, and I''ll kick your ass every day... " She removed her eyelids and made her face even more funny, e on, give me a smile. If you smile, the moon will be shy and the flowers will be beautiful! " "It''s an description of women." Her incoherent metaphor made Jacob couldn''t help smiling. "Well, men and women are all the same." Era waved her hand dismissively. "Haven''t you heard the saying? Time was going by, and men and women were the same! That''s right. If you smile like now, you will surely attract a lot of girls... " She was smiling all the time. Her beautiful face was like a peach blossom in May. His eyes moved and he could tolerate all her naughty and nonsense. In fact, looking at her like this, he felt good! The atmosphere along the coast was naturally rxed. It seemed that Jacob had broken off an ice armor. Era was very happy and rushed to the seaside. She held up the sea water with her hands and stretched out her hands to lift Jacob''s body. Then, "ha ha..." Sheughed loudly. "Era Ling..." "What? Bite me? " Eraughed even louder. She cupped the water and sshed it on him, and she turned around naughtily to twist her waist. "You are so naughty!" Jacob stepped forward, he held Era into his arms... Chapter 36 Play On The Beach With Ease (Part Two) Chapter 36 y On The Beach With Ease (Part Two) Then he walked towards the sea, half immersed in it and wet himself. In a panic, Era yelled for fear that he would throw her into the water. She didn''t want to experience that again! "No, I know I was wrong!" She held around his neck, smoothing the water from her chin and blinking like a fawn to beg for his forgiveness. " "Do you know what''s wrong? Dare you or not? " "I dare not, really!" She held up her head with both hands in surrender. It was not until then that Jacob held her in his arms and took her back to the shore. He put her down and whispered to her, "woman, be careful! Don''t make me on the sand or eat you in the full view of the public. " "Jacob..." Era pressed his lips together and held his neck. She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, looking charming and enchanting, "do you know that?" She exhaled in his ear. Seeing him squinting at her as if he was enjoying it, she suddenly raised her tone and said, "you''ve already used the trick to threaten me! Can you have something new? " Then there was another burst of clear and melodious laughter. Era ran away as sheughed. She hadn''tughed so happily for a long time. It turns out that we can share happiness! The pain and loneliness of them were all thrown into this charming sea at this moment. The four were stunned. They had never seen godfather smile like this before! ''She is really special!'' The coast in C City were so beautiful that the sky and the sea were crystal clear and beautiful. The rtionship between them changed a lot in a day. If only such happy days couldst like this forever. Unfortunately, no one could predict the future, and the future was always unpredictable... In the evening, they''re still passionate. Jacob had a crush on her already, but he still let his bodyguards buy the pills for her carefully. Although he had never been interested in women since he was born, it didn''t mean that she had the right to give birth to his baby. His decision made her very hard. She could only pretend to eat it in front of him, and then ran to the bathroom, vomiting out... It''s not a good idea either. Era can''t change the result. She have to find a way to get rid of it. She remembers a vitamin simr to the pill. On that day, Jacob proposed to let her go to the downtown. Era agreed with him but refused to let the bodyguards go with her. Jacob didn''t insist on it. He gave her a gold card and said, "just buy whatever you like. You cane back at night if you like." This card was unlimited and allowed her to buy as she please. Era really wanted to buy anything. She wanted to repay all the money that he had done to her. However, after wandering around the most bustling street in the city center, she bought only two clothes she liked. Then she went to the pharmacy and took a bottle of vitamins, but she didn''t have the impulse to go shopping. Forget it. She had no luxurious habits since she was born, and she decided not to force herself. But if she didn''t get rid of his money, she would not give up! When she was in a conundrum, she turned around and saw a big billboard at the exhibition center. There was a charity auction here today, Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Chapter 37 Auction Of Mothers Flower Love World Chapter 37 Auction Of Mother''s Flower Love World Blinking her eyes, Era smiled and walked slowly into the exhibition center with the flow of people. The charity auctioneer was opening. They only needed to get the invitation and ticket. The price of the admission ticket was high, but it was not a problem for Era who was trying to pay. Since it didn''t have any right to other participants, many of them wore casual clothes. Naturally, Era didn''t cause any other attention. Era walked into the hall and studied the brochure of the auction items asked by the receptionist. She stared at the price tag first. Since she came in, she would choose the highest one. The jade Ruyi donated by the boss of a financial group was of good quality and exquisite workmanship. They were at a low rate of six hundred thousand. Era nodded and made a decision. The final price was not less than one million and eight hundred thousand. She turned a few pagester and found that the value of everything else was really low. However, when she turned to thest page, she was stunned, "Flower Love World!" She muttered as she looked at the set of jewelry on the photo. It was actually a bracelet and ne. Rose carved with agate, each rose has different shapes and exquisite workmanship. All of them were rted by crystal, and looked pretty real. This set of jewelry was a gift from her grandfather. When the Xu family had a crisis back then, her mother had to sell it off in order to help the Xu family get through the difficulties. Later when her mother had saved some money to redeem it, she only heard that the person who bought the jewelry had already gone abroad and no one had ever heard from the person. Since then, "Flower Love World" had be mother''s sore spot. When she was seriously ill, she didn''t forget to remind Era to find it back, or she would be too ashamed to face her dead grandfather. What a surprise! She had been looking for it for such a long time and it was a coincidence that she met it here. At this moment, a young man in sunsses was talking on the phone not far from Era. "Mr. Qi, the ''Flower Love World'' you mentioned is in the auction list. It''s an item for second auction. Would you like to have a look?" Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Half an hourter, the charity auction began. At the gate of the exhibition center, Brooks entered in a hurry. When the necessary information and photos of "Flower Love World" appeared on the big screen, Era was nervous with her little hands sweating. Today, she must help her mother to redeem it! Looking at the beautiful jewelry on the screen, Brooks smiled. That''s right! That''s what Era said to him. ''Era must be thrilled to see it. I must buy it today!'' Because he waste, he didn''t notice that Era was standing in the front row. As a result, the price of the "Flower Love World" was raised to six hundred thousand at a time, which was far more expensive than its own value. "Six hundred and fifty thousand." Era raised her paddle again. Damn, who was bidding against her on purpose? He couldn''t help but turn around to search the crowd. Among the crowds, she saw a familiar handsome face. He raised his number te and said, "six hundred and eighty thousand." Brooks!? What did he want? For Anna? Era stared at him unhappily. It seemed that Brooks also felt her strong resentment and turned his head. When their eyes met, he was stunned. Era rolled her eyes at him and raised her paddle. "Seven hundred thousand." She decided to give it a try. Money was meaningless to her anyway. Brooks froze and didn''t move. It was not until the moment that the hammer was closed that Era breathed a sigh of relief. She finally redeemed the "Flower Love World" for her mother. "Era." In the corridor, Brooks called out to Era who was going through the formalities with a worker. "Mr. Qi, what''s wrong?" Era turned back, with a hint of alienation in her eyes. "Era, don''t get me wrong. I bid this jewelry for..." "I don''t want to know why." Not wanting to hear the reason that would make her heart ache, Era suddenly interrupted him and said with a cold smile, "the point is that I am the one who bid for this set of jewelry. Mr. Qi, shouldn''t you congratte me on my sessful bidding at a ''high price''?" "Era..." "Excuse me, I have something to do." Then, Era turned around indifferently, beckoning the staff waiting aside to continue leading the way. She doesn''t care about Brooks behind her. Since it''s over, don''t bother! She clenched her fist and her fingernails dug into her flesh... "Flower Love World" was as beautiful and delicate as her mother said. She carefully put it away. Era decided not to haggle over with Jacob anymore. Just give that valuable jade Ruyi to someone else. When she walked out of the building, she was blinded by the burning sun. It was bad weather, and she was not in the mood to go shopping. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and found that there were very few taxis on the street at this time... Suddenly, a silver sports car came along and stopped in front of Era. The window was rolled down slowly. It was Brooks. "Era, get in the car." "No, thanks, Mr. Qi." Era refused seriously with a straight face. ''Why the less I want to see him, the more he shows up?'' Brooks raised his eyebrows, got out of the car, walked around Era and opened the door for her. "Get on the carriage, Era. I have something to tell you," "I have told you everything I know? What else do we have to say? " After casting a cold nce at him, Era turned around and wanted to leave. "Era!" Brooks grabbed her by the wrist, with a hint of pleading in his ck eyes. "I just need a few minutes." Era looked back and their eyes met. Her heart was still shaken by those familiar ck eyes. The sun was shining overhead, and sweat dripped from her cheeks... Brooks quickly took out a pink umbre from the car and gracefully held it for Era. His action was tender and skillful, like every time before. "Get in the car, Era. Let''s find a ce. I really have something important to tell you." "All right." Era sighed as he was gentle as usual. The air conditioner was turned on. The wall was surrounded by marine shadows. The two chandeliers were still spinning. The old-fashioned love song rhythm filled every corner of the shop. Blue Ocean Ice Shop. Era didn''t expect that it was still here, not to mention that Brooks would take her here. "Hey, you haven''t been here for a long time." The proprietress said with a smile, delivering two bowls of ice. "We''lle more often in the future." Brooks answered with a smile. In the future? With Anna? Era looked at him coldly. "Tell me what happened. I''m in a hurry." "Eat some ice cream first. The ice is going to melt soon." Brooks ignored her and pointed at the ice in front of her. "Mango vor, your favorite." "Brooks!" Era pounded on the table and stood up, "if you took me here just to eat ice, then I have to say I''m sorry..." Chapter 38 Recognize The Reality (Part One) Chapter 38 Recognize The Reality (Part One) "Era, I have bought for ice. You don''t want me to have two bowls of ice, do you?" Brooks said slowly, deliberately ignoring Era''s unhappy face. "I know you hate to waste food. If you don''t eat it, I will eat it all by myself. But you know I have a stomachache. If I eat so much ice every time, I''ll go to hospital and even... " "It has nothing to do with me." She interrupted him and kept telling herself not to be softhearted anymore. Being softhearted would only make herself more heartbroken! "Yes, hospitalization is my own business. In fact, I should eat these two bowls of ice as my apology for what I did today. I didn''t know you were at the venue, nor did I intend to raise the price against you. In fact, I have been investigating the whereabouts of "Flower Love World" because you have mentioned to me more than once that finding it is your mother''sst wish. " Brooks was still not in a hurry. But Era''s heart jolted, "that''s why you want to bid for ''Flower Love World'' "... She can''t say. ''Did I really misunderstand him? But it didn''t matter whether I misunderstood him or not. We were just strangers to each other now!'' "You must be very happy to see the set of ''Flower Love World'' ." He raised his head slightly and looked at her with his eyes blinking. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Okay." Era sat down and scooped a spoonful of ice into her mouth. This time, it seemed that she really misunderstood him. "Era, I want you to know that no matter what I did to hurt you, I was forced to do it. It''s not my intention..." "Era, leave that man named Lee! He was too dangerous. I have learnt his name is Jacob. You should have heard of the Huangfu famliy. They are a tycoon who holds 30% of the high-end industries in the world and controls a creepy organization called "night kill". Jacob was their young master. It was said that he was born with a cruel heart and a cruel nature. There was a faction which infuriated him, but he was razed to the faction overnight. All the faction members were hurt by him... He is even ruthless to women. He killed them after having sex and never kept them alive... " Era was lost in the scenery outside the car, listening to what Brooks said. Why did he tell her this now? Why did shee back after hearing the terrible truth? She knew he was a dangerous man from the very beginning. His identity had always made her tremble, but she was less and less afraid of him. Perhaps, it was because of her n of borrowing children that she could not give up her own purity! "Miss..." The taxi driver turned around and interrupted Era. With a worried look on his face, he asked, "are you sure you want toe here? It''s a forbidden area in front of us. A few days ago, someone made a mistake and he was broken in the leg." "Yes." Looking at the familiar vi, Era nodded, opened the car door, took out some paper coins from the wallet and handed to the driver. "Be careful." The driver put away the money and had a sympathy look at her as he started the car and drove away quickly. Era watched the car driving away and then looked up at the European style vi in the blue sky and white clouds. Was it really so dangerous here? The well decorated vi was very quiet. Since Jacob was absent, even Steven and Aaron disappeared. Every room was empty. Era stood in front of the white building nkly, and there was strange silence around... Chapter 39 Recognize The Reality (Part Two) Chapter 39 Recognize The Reality (Part Two) "Ah..." A woman''s scream came from underground. She gave a cold shiver subconsciously. She nced around and found nothing. However, at this moment, a woman''s uncontroble voice was raised again! Era looked at the entrance of the underground garage behind her. Standing at the entrance to the garage, she could see nothing but darkness under her feet. The woman''s voice came from below intermittently, and a cold wind blew... Era gnashed her teeth. Terrified as she was, she went down the slope step by step. As she came closer and closer, the woman''s undisguised voice became more and more clear... In the dim light at the corner, she saw that Jacob was sitting on a sofa, he crossed his long left leg on his right leg and lit a Cuban cigar. His handsome face was totally wrapped in the smoke... In front of him stood several cold and tough bodyguards, dressed in ck, indifferently looking at the trembling woman on the ground. There was a hint of uneasiness in the air of the room and even a hint of danger was spreading. Era shivered when she saw that Jacob made a gesture. Then, a bodyguard went up to him and rudely grabbed the woman''s hair, dragging her in front of him. The woman howled again because of the sharp pain in her hair! Jacob was sitting there motionless like a devil that had juste out of hell... "It is said that he has been cruel and merciless since he was a child. He was born with a cruel nature. Once there was a faction that provoked him, but was razed to the ground overnight by him. Dozens of people in the faction were killed by him... He is even ruthless to women. He killed them after having sex and never kept them alive... " Brooks''s words sounded in her ear, sending a chill through her hair to her toes. She felt a chill down her spine. What was he going to do to that woman? She felt that her legs were trembling. "Who sent you here?" One of the bodyguards shouted coldly. The woman bit her lips hard. "Since your master likes to see a y, you can just act and show him. You..." He didn''t even move his head and gave an order directly. "Yes, sir!" The bodyguards received the order and all went to the woman in a mess... All of a sudden, the woman''s eyes were wide open. Before she could scream out, she was lifted up by the bodyguards... All of a sudden, the room was filled with terrible cruelty! ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Era had never thought that she would see such a scene in her life! She felt the blood inside her body turning cold, and even her fingertips bing numb. She wanted to rush in and stop the cruel scene, but she couldn''t move. What she could do was only to watch... She saw that the bodyguards all had no expression on their faces and one after another tried to rape this woman. And on the sofa, Jacob was leaning against the sofa, his tall and strong body exuding a rxed atmosphere. Era heard the scream, howl, and even struggle. Gradually, the woman''s voice became hoarse and she couldn''t make a sound... Era''s body shivered like a leaf in the autumn wind, and her red lips turned pale... She shouldn''t havee back. She shouldn''t havee back! A few hours of torture finally came to an end. Sitting on the ground helplessly, Era fell to the ground. Although she did not know why that woman was here, she really wanted to save her, because she looked like she''s dying, but unfortunately, Era was too weak to even stand up... She could only watch the bodyguardsplete with satisfaction one by one. They all took women as tools, even lively Aaron was like this... It was not until Era saw one of the bodyguards walk towards the woman that she was breathless. The sharp de cut her neck! The woman let out thest scream, presumably this was thest strength she used up, and there was no more sound... She could not speak again, because Era saw arge amount of red blood spread from the woman''s neck, and instantly dyed the ground red... Bloodthirsty and cruel, inhuman. She was too naive to think that they would be different! She waspletely wrong! Finally, Era passed out as she could no longer hold back the fear and despair in her heart... In front of Era''s eyes was blood. Her nose was filled with a strong smell of blood. "No... Don''t... " She waved her hands and suddenly opened her eyes. She found herself in a light blue room. What happened just now seemed to be only a dream. "You wake up!" Jacob stretched out his big hand and seemed to caress her long hair lovingly. Era froze. Gradually, her breathing became short, and her eyes were as frightening as she saw devil''s reincarnation¡ª¡ª "You killed her! How could you do that? That is also a life! " "Life can be very cheap sometimes!" Compared with her excitement, Jacob seemed not to care about that at all. He knew she would have a strong reaction when seeing it, so he deliberately sent her away. But unexpectedly, she suddenly came back. It doesn''t matter if she meet. Even if she can''t get into his world, she still have to understand his world. "You..." Era''s lips were trembling. A chill came over her and pressed her against the wall. "She is just a helpless woman. Do you still have any humanity?" "Helpless?" He snorted and nced at her, as ifughing at her naiveness. "Woman, remember..." He embraced her and said in a careless but bloodthirsty tone. "The people who choose to live are powerless. There is no distinction between men and women, and they don''t need the human nature!" As Era was frozen stiff by the chillness all over her body, she felt it difficult to breathe, especially when his big hand was stroking her hair, over and over again... She have never heard of such a thing before. But now it''s happening in front of her! Brooks said that Jacob was a man of power, and could kill anyone without blinking his eyes. And she even sneered at that. It was only hearsay. It turned out that it was true! Chapter 40 Recognize The Reality (Part Three) Chapter 40 Recognize The Reality (Part Three) He touched her hair with his bleeding hand. "No..." With a scream, Era stood up and ran desperately towards the door, leaving this ce! She would leave here anyway! She didn''t want to be with such a bloodthirsty man! He didn''t deserve to be the father of her baby! Before she reached the door, her long hair was suddenly grabbed by the man''s big hand. The moment she screamed out of pain, his another big hand suddenly grabbed her into his arms. "Want to leave me now? It''s toote. " When his cold and sharp breath fell on her neck, he said in a low and deep voice, which sounded quite pleasant from behind. If not for the fact, she would have been bewitched by his voice. "Let go of me! I don''t want to be with a murderer!" She grabbed the doorknob firmly, and her knuckles turned white with strength. "Woman, as long as you behave well, I won''t do anything bad to you. Let go of your hand." Jacob tried tofort her in a tender and affectionate way, but in fact, he was threatening her. Era closed his eyes, shook her head and clenched her fists more tightly¡ª¡ª "It''s my fault. I shouldn''t have bothered you. Please let me go, please. I beg you. " She had thought that she was living in a dark and dirty world, but she was wrong. "You have bothered me. Our game has begun..." Jacob''s big hand gently covered her small hand, which was holding the doorknob. He then loosed them one by one and held them in his palm... "Only I am qualified to propose to end it. " Being held tight in his arms, Era was shivering violently... After a long while, she suddenly pushed him away and murmured, "my handbag, my ''Flower Love World''..." All she could think about was her mother''s set of jewelry, "Flower Love World". Because it was the only warmth she could get now. She found her bag next to the wardrobe, and quickly took out a delicately carved wooden jewelry box, holding it in her arms. Maybe she was tired, she slowly crouched down against the wall and curled up in the corner silently. "Come here!" Jacob reached out his hand to her. But she just shook her head and shrank herself more. He pulled a long face, annoyed by her willful refusal. He went straight over and rudely held her up. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Don''t move! Otherwise, I will throw that box into the sea. " The cold threat sessfully stopped Era''s twisting body. She was hugged back to the bed like a frightened deer, until she fell asleep in his arms. Even in sleep, the scaring scene still made her extremely uneasy. She kept sobbing and her body trembling from time to time. Jacob looked down at her and covered her hair on her face behind her ears with his big hand. She trembled unconsciously and his eyes narrowed all of a sudden. It seemed that she was really frightened! He held her small hand carefully, with his long hand feeling abnormal cold. A glimmer of emotion shed through his eyes which were totally apathetic. He pulled her fingertips to his lips and gave her a gentle kiss. Then he bowed his head and kissed her dry lips softly. Then, he looked at the jewelry box in another hand held tightly by Era. She removed her fingers gently, took it over and opened it. It''s just a set of exquisite jewelry! All the women in the world couldn''t escape from vulgarity! With a hint of sneer shing in his eyes, he threw down the jewelry box and turned around, intending to leave. "No, don''t..." A small hand tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes. He looked back and thought that she was awake, but he found that she was still closing her eyes. She murmured, "don''t leave... Please... Don''t leave... " ncing at her small hand holding tightly, Jacob frowned. Stunned for half a second, he took off his shoes and went to bed, holding her thin body in his arms. "Well..." She called out contentedly, rubbing herself against his chest subconsciously and murmuring, "Mom, please don''t leave me, please... Don''t leave... " This woman! Instantly, Jacob frowned and his mouth twitched... Chapter 41 Its So Easy To Escape Chapter 41 It''s So Easy To Escape The next morning, unexpectedly, to everyone''s surprise, Era was still happily having breakfast, and then went to the seaside to be blown, as if nothing had happened. She was an immortal fighter. No matter how painful and terrified she was, she could only weak for one day at most. She told herself that no matter what she was going to face, she would only give herself one day to be afraid and sad. She had promised her deceased mother that she would live a happy life. Moreover, a man like Jacob would only suffer losses and even lose her life if she fought against him head on. She might have a chance to leave here alive to make him happy. It would be helpful to lessen the danger and create a chance to escape. Leaning against the rail leisurely, Jacob stared at the slender figure standing by the seaside. Today, she wore a thin shoulder with a red silk dress and a silk scarf of the same style around her neck. In the sea breeze, her dress and scarf danced lightly and smartly. With a peony pattern in it, she looked like a beautiful woman waiting for her beloved man... He didn''t expect her to recover so soon. He had nned to give her one more day, but unexpectedly, she had already adjusted her mood overnight. She was so surprised! The sun was getting higher and the sun was getting more and more poisonous. Wasn''t she afraid of the sun? Like a fool, she wandered along the beach. She was his woman now! Jacob was a little angry and walked towards her. "Aren''t you afraid of dying in the sun?" He said angrily and held her from behind. "Okay, I''ll be back soon." Era stopped and her nose was filled with the masculine smell of a man, but she seemed to have smelled a trace of blood. She told herself to be patient! "Well." Her obedience made him happy, and her gentleness made him intoxicated. Without hesitation, he bent over to her face and kissed her on the lips. He never kissed any woman he was with, which made him sick. But her lips were so sweet and seductive from the very beginning. She used to dream of kissing with her beloved man by the sea. It was romantic and aesthetic. However, the reality was cruel and bloody. Was she wrong? Was this God''s punishment for her depravity? All she wanted was a man who would stay with her for the rest of her life... At night¡ª¡ª The cold moon went through the fog and slipped through the window. The silver white light poured down the ground at the foot of the bed. After a long while, Era thought he was asleep. She couldn''t help moving and trying to push him away. "Woman!" He suddenly raised his head and stared at her with a gloomy look. "You are absent-minded today!" But still, he couldn''t control himself. He couldn''t stop thinking about the woman. "Of course not." Era curled her lips and turned her face to avoid his sharp eyes. Before yesterday, she and he used to get along well with each other for what they needed. But how could she still be as calm as before after she saw how cruel he was to a woman yesterday. Jacob squinting at her coldly, she sipped her lips. However, she looked a little sad. It was obvious that she was lying. Jacob was unable to see through her mind now and he felt that it was a bit unbearable. He pulled a long face and asked, "tell me, what are you thinking about?" He whispered in her ear. His warm breath blew over her neck. He said in a low and deep voice, which showed his majesty that couldn''t be refused. Era turned to him and asked, "do you really want to know?" Ironically, they had never chatted like this before. Every time they finished making sex, they would fall asleep. "Yes." He nodded his head. "I was thinking, when you were tired of me, would you let me go, or would you treat me like that woman, or... Kill me? " A life and death matter was concerned. After finishing her words, Era stared at the frightening ck eyes and didn''t dare to blink anymore. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. With a smile, he rested his sweaty handsome face on her shoulder and muttered in a hoarse voice, "woman! Haven''t I told you? As long as you are obedient to me, I won''t do anything to you! " As for letting her go... impossible! At least for the time being, it was impossible, because he hadn''t seen through her yet, not enough... For her! It seemed that her body was born for him! She should understand that she had nowhere to escape since the night she bothered him! The next moment, Jacob did everything crazily. After his powerful tangle, she was exhausted and sat in his arms until the dawn. She had no energy to think about anything else! Era didn''t expect that her escape would be so smooth. She sneaked out when they were not paying attention, then she took a taxi and went straight to the airport. Perhaps it was because she had pretended to be obedient in front of him for the past few days, or perhaps it was because he was too confident that she didn''t expect that she would escape from him at all, in a word, it was very easy for her to escape from the tiger''sir. Then she bought a ticket to the nearest flight by cash. In case that he might notice her, she didn''t bring anything except the set of "Flower Love World". On the ne, she breathed a sigh of relief. Looking down at the deste and beautiful C City in the sunset, she suddenly felt depressed and sour. After all, she grew up here. Goodbye, C City. She fixed her eyes on theplicated coastline. Goodbye, Jacob... "Miss, why are you crying?" A gentleman with urbane bearing asked with concern. "Cry?" Era unconsciously touched her cheeks, wet as if she were soaked in cold water. Ah, she hadn''t cried for a long time! Is it because of the escape? "I was just fascinated by the sand." After saying that, she turned her head to look out of the window... Chapter 42 Keeping A Low Profile Is So Difficult Chapter 42 Keeping A Low Profile Is So Difficult Anyway, everything here is over for her. She wondered whether she would set foot on thisnd again in ten or twenty years. However. Brooks told her that the Huangfu famliy was spread all over the world, and it''s not only in C City in China. If she escaped from here, could she really escape from the control of Jacob? The more she thought about it, the more worried she became... Elton was an old noble school in S City. It''s a ce where the children of political and business celebrities gather. It''s a gorgeous world. At the very beginning, Enoch wanted to send Era to this school. But Grace said it''s very luxurious here, afraid that she would learn badly. So she insisted on sending Era to the university called Roya next to Elton. In fact, Era knew clearly that she cares about the expensive tuition and living expenses here. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. As for Era, she didn''t say anything. She tried in secret and finally won the full schrship for the first prize of the entire school and entered the school. However, she didn''t tell the Xu family. The name she used Angie when she entered for Elton. Her mother gave her a nickname called Angie, an angel. In her mother''s eyes, she was always a beautiful and kindhearted angel. She had nned to share this good news with Brooks on her 18th birthday. Unexpectedly, before her birthday, she got the gift in advance that he wanted to break up with, because he fell in love with Anna! Therefore, her life abruptly came to a dramatic turn¡ª¡ª She got drunk in the bar! She... She wanted a family who would never betray her! Study was not important at that moment! The summer vocation in two months was like a dream. When she waked up, she realized how much she had to pay for her impulsion! Actually, S City and C City are adjacent. But Era didn''t dare to go straight to S City. She came here after she drove around several cities. At this time, Elton is about to open in two days. Originally, she wanted to change her name to Era when she started the college officially, but now it seemed that there was no need to do so. She thought Angie is the safest name. Fortunately, when she was registered, her mother logged in her name from the previous section. Now she saved a lot of trouble. However, she didn''t dare to take any of the money that her mother gave her. She was afraid that Jacob might get hold of the assets of her name and try to find her. On the other hand, Elton didn''t require students to live in the students'' apartment. Since Era had no idea whether she was pregnant or not, she rented a small room nearby the school for convenience. After paying the rent, she would have little money left. Fortunately, she soon found a job in a nearby restaurant. On the day when the new students started their school, Elton was quite busy. At the entrance ceremony, the school arranged a speech for Era. She refused, but the school board insisted again and again. Because Era was the only one who could get theplete score in both Chinese and English over the past ten years. She was the pride of Elton. Soon, the short speech attracted the envious and jealous eyes of Era. For a moment, the gifted girl named Angie was famous in Elton. The student union wanted to recruit her, and many social organizations also offered an invitation branch to her... She became famous overnight. Era was living in great fear as if treading on thin ice. After refusing all the invitations, she stayed low-key for a month and gradually calmed down. It seemed that she was safe now, and perhaps Jacob didn''t bother to find her at all. Anyway, she was determined to turn the page of Jacob. She had made up her mind that if she was pregnant, she would go through the divorce procedure before her belly bulged, and then find a quiet ce to wait for delivery. If she was not pregnant, she will put her life on the right track after finishing Elton''s study. But fate would often give you a sudden turning point at your most rxed moment¡ª¡ª It was a cloudy afternoon. The students were whispering to each other at the gate of the Elton. The students of Elton were either rich or powerful, so they didn''t pay much attention to luxurious cars. Standing at the school gate like this and watching, whispering is not the expression of their proud upper ss manners. It was because of the man getting out of the luxury car! At this moment, he leaned gracefully against the side of the car. The sky was gloomy. The dim light shone on his tall and straight figure, drawing a perfect arc in the face. Seeing the studentsing out of the campus one after another, he took off his sunsses. In an instant, the surrounding beauty was overshadowed. Her long eyshes shone in the dim light. His eyes sparkled when he nced between the students strangely. "Wow, an ice handsome man!" One of the girls marveled. In the campus¡ª¡ª "Angie, I love you!" After ss, a girl wearing a pair of ck sses, a white T-shirt, a pair of jeans, a ponytail and a red backpack walked out of the ssroom. She got a charming red rose and a light green envelope. The sudden action almost made Era lose her bnce and fall to the ground. s, she is so lovely that everyone loves her! In order to avoid Jacob, she dressed up so ordinary, but still attracted other men like this. With a smug smile, Era raised her head and looked at the boy. She remembered that she met him once. He seemed to be Ethan Liang, and he was a big shot in the school. It was said that he was not only excellent in his exams, but also good at ying the piano. Many girls liked him. Huh... Her vanity couldn''t help but be slightly satisfied. This bloke had the vision! However... Era was confused and frowned. She remembered that they didn''t know each other at all. "I want you to be my girlfriend." Ethan Liang demanded again. He liked to n everything well. From the perspective of a good student, he would consider for the next generation. A girl as smart as Era was the most suitable person to marry. Of course, he didn''t mean that. After all, they have four years of college to get along with. Although they could fall in love with each other gradually, their IQ could never be the same. He had thought it over! He had always been confident about his appearance, family and capabilities. However, Angie has only a good head. He was confident that he would get her. Era scanned him from head to toe and made sure that he was a man of high self-esteem. Was he pursuing her? Or charity? Do you think I can''t find a boyfriend? She frowned slightly and refused directly. "Sorry, I can''t be your girlfriend." She didn''t want to waste her precious time on such a cocky boy. The good impression he had on her disappeared in an instant. While saying that, she walked pass the shocked face of Ethan and walked towards the gate of the school... ¡¤ Chapter 43 Surprise Or Shock Chapter 43 Surprise Or Shock "Give me a reason!" He had never been refused, so he blushed in an instant and grabbed her arm. Era wanted to withdraw her hand, but failed. "Hey, can you let go of me first?" She hated the man who touched her! Just from this point, he was also sentenced out! This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Damn it! He was so strong! She''s in some pain! "Angie, tell me. Why?" But Ethan didn''t loosen his grip, but slowed down a little. He shouldn''t be refused. She should be ecstatic that such an outstanding prince as him was willing to fall in love with her. Or she was just putting on a show!? "You..." This stubborn and self righteous guy! The corner of Era''s mouth twitched, and she didn''t understand why she was provoking him. She had already told him not to do it, but he continued to pester her. "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend." "Boyfriend? It''s impossible! " As an ordinary girl, how could she possibly have a boyfriend? That man must not be equal to him. "What? Can''t I have a boyfriend?" Era''s face darkened in displeasure. "Or do you really think that I can''t find a boyfriend like me?" "Uh... No," said Ethan, shaking his head in a hurry. "I''m just wondering why I haven''t seen your boyfriend. He must not love you as much as he said." "Who says I don''t love her?" A low and cold voice suddenly interjected the conversation between the two. Before Era could finish her words, a pair of strong arms had already held her tightly in their arms. Shocked, Era turned around¡ª¡ª "What?" She exhaled in a low voice. "Oh my God... Ah..." His voice was with a middle voice. "Huh... Ah... Ah..." A decisiveness. She jumped up hurriedly, involuntarily raising her involuntarily the pinkish arm through her wide sleeves and pointing at the man in front of her who looked surprised, terrified and undeniable, who shouldn''t have appeared in Elton! No, no, no, he shouldn''t show up! Is this an illusion? She stared at him and her mind floated. She blinked her misty eyes, and then she began to feel numb and her limbs were cold. Yes! This was what she should do to him. For her, he represented disaster and death. A great disaster. Horrible death. ''Oh, I wish God to give me a punch right now, so that I can wake up from my nightmare!'' God was too busy to hear her prayer. However, Jacob had stretched out his long arm, grabbed her hand in the wind and trapped her in his arms again. "Baby, I know you are surprised to see me, but you don''t have to be so exaggerated." "Uh... ''Come on, boss. It''s not a surprise. It''s a shock, okay?'' "Angie! Is he really your boyfriend?" Ethan looked very disappointed, but he couldn''t find a way out. The man was so outstanding and he was not the type of man to be with Angie. How could they be a couple? He would never give up easily as he was thinking about how to inject himself with a stronger mind! "Haha..." He revealed his real thoughts through his cold eyes. With a sneer, Jacob held Era tightly in his arms. "You don''t believe it? Keep your eyes open!" After saying that, he took off the ck frame sses on her small nose and bent down to kiss her lips forcefully. How could he be so arrogant? He was in the school. If anyone knows about it, how can she still stay in Elton! "I know. I am now charging interest..." He whispered in her ear for a long time before he finally let go of her. The look in his eyes was soplicated that it made people feel scared... Chapter 44 The Thunder With Death Chapter 44 The Thunder With Death At the moment, it began to rain. Seeing that, the T-shirt of Era drew the outline of her graceful figure. The ponytail was no longer refreshing. It snuggled up to her pink cheeks, revealing a pitiful beauty. The rain turned into raindrops, crackling on their bodies, and quickly poured into the drowned rat. "Let''s go!" Jacob grabbed her and took her to the next ssroom. "For what?" While struggling, something terrible happened in the underground garage came to her mind. "No!" She tried to grab the door frame. She didn''t want to go in with him. She didn''t want to die here. He forced her fingers apart rudely. "Go in!" Era sat prone on the desk. Bang! He mmed the door. It rained more and more heavily outside. All was happening was shocking. Era''s heart trembled with nervousness. She watched the man walking towards her, trembling and slowly shrinking. "Don''te here. This is the school. You... You can''t do that!" Her voice was soft and trembling. It was more like a selffort than a threat. Huh... Ridiculous! What was she thinking about? Did she think he would kill her? Jacob couldn''t help but smile in a yful way. His handsome face looked more beautiful with an incredible look. Indeed, he wanted to kill her right away when he first heard that she escaped. However, when he came back to his senses, he kept telling himself not to lose his temper because of a woman. He did not find her whereabouts in the past three days, and he began to be angry to kill her. Meanwhile, Elizabeth sent a message: I heard that you scared away little cutie, didn''t you? I don''t care if you lose your pet or not. Why are you so angry? How did she know that? In order to find out the mole, he wasted another two days. He had also wanted to give up the investigation, she was just a woman. As Elizabeth said, she was at most his pet. He didn''t care if she lost it. However, he found it too quiet when she was not whispering in his ears... Therefore, he decided to use all means to find her, and there was no one in the world "night kill" could not find! What''s more, it was impossible that someone could break into his life and disappear without telling him! The rain was getting heavier, and it was pouring with the thunder. The atmosphere inside the room became awkward. Suddenly, a beam of sunlight streaked across the dark sky, followed by deafening thunders. "Ah..." Era screamed as she folded her arms across her chest. Looking around, the ssroom had been dim, and now it was also dark! She was most afraid of thunderstorms. At this moment, even the upright and handsome figure of Jacob in front of her became ferocious in her ck eyes. Curling up in a corner, she couldn''t help trembling and the rising cold was too much for her to take. Was this woman acting again? Squinting his cold eyes, Jacob leaned against a desk, with his slender legs crossed leisurely, and appreciated the embarrassed look of Era coldly. It''s so dark inside! How loud the thunder was! What should she do? What should she do? By the way, Era suddenly raised her head. As long as there''s a light, she won''t be afraid. Trembling, she groped for the switch on the wall with memory. With a bang, the room was brightened. Swoosh... Era breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down at the farthest and safest ce far away from Jacob. It seemed that it would rain for a while... Era looked out of the window. Then she looked back and stared at Jacob''s ice filled eyes. She came to her senses and looked away hurriedly. She saw his hands in his pants pockets. Oh my God! Is there a knife in it? At the thought of the knifeying on her neck, Era went nk in an instant. She really didn''t want to die. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. A sharp and bleak lightning flickered outside the window. At this moment, the shrill and terrifying thunder started again, as if it had hit something. Sizzle¡ª¡ªthe sun light in the room shed twice and instantly extinguished the light. The electricity was off! The house was inplete darkness, and the thunder began to rise. "Ah! No! Jacob... Don''t kill me. I know I was wrong!" She covered her ears with her hands as she yelled. Tears were pouring down her cheeks. Suddenly, she stumbled. In a second, she dropped a chair onto the desk, creating a loud sound. She had a sharp abdominal pain and the table was just on top. Outside the window, the thunder was roaring. Fear and sting overwhelmed her, and she couldn''t help crying out. "Ah... Jacob... I didn''t mean to escape. I left you a letter. Didn''t you see it?" Of course he couldn''t see it, because she was afraid that he would discover her whereabouts too early, so she pressed the letter against the bottom drawer. But she left a message. He couldn''t deny it. "Ah... What''s more, the reason why I left is that the school is about to begin. I was finally admitted by this famous school. You can''t bear to let me give up. I''m still young and I''m a flower of the mothend, although you''ve ruined me... Oh, no, you''ve already got it. But I''m still young and I don''t want to die before I fully bloom..." After the thunder paused for a while, Era began to move Jacob on purpose. In the darkness, Jacob slightly raised his lips. He found that he was not really angry with the changeable woman. Instead, he was expecting her reaction. She could always surprise him and arouse his interest easily. "Get up. Come to me." He asked in a low and cold voice, as if... As if there was no murderous spirit. Era raised her head pitifully. By the lightning, she saw that there was nothing in hisrge hand... Chapter 45 The Consequence Of Provoking Me Chapter 45 The Consequence Of Provoking Me Uh... It seemed that he didn''t n to kill her, at least not here. With a cold look in his eyes, he nced at Era, who was still lying on the ground, and then saidzily, "what''s wrong? You can''t stand up?'' Before he finished his words, Era grabbed his big hand and stood up. He then held her in his arms. Outside the window, the thunder was heard again. Unexpectedly, Era wasn''t scared. Clenching his clothes, she buried her head in the broad chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She felt warm and safe in his arms, as if... He could protect her... Ever since her mother passed away, she sat alone on a rainy day, with the lights on. She had thought that she would not be afraid of anything after getting used to it for a long time. However, she was still feeling lonely. The feeling of fear followed her like her shadow. The thunderstorm intense summer had be her most dreadful season. Today was the first time that she had the feeling of being safe when her mother was still alive. The light of the lightning clearly reflected the loneliness and loneliness of Era into his ck eyes. "¡­¡­ Both of you have tenacious spirit and loneliness; to some extent, you are from the same kingdom..." Elizabeth''s words resounded in his ears. The thunder was heard again. He couldn''t help holding her tighter. He had thought to punish her severely when he caught her, but at this moment, his feelings were reced by some inexplicable emotions. He just held her in his arms, listening to the sound of thunder and rain outside... After half an hour, the rain weakened. "Let''s go." Jacob held her hand and led her into the rain. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Where... Where are we going?" She asked in a trembling voice as she tried to catch up with him. ''Is he going to find a ce to destroy me?'' she thought. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She stood at the car door and looked at Jacob pitifully. "You... You haven''t answered me yet." The raindrops wet her hair again and clung to her cheek. She didn''t care. She just grabbed the door tightly. Pleased by her funny look, Jacob smiled with mischief. "Where? Don''t you know?" "I... I... How can... How can I... How can I know?" Damn it! She shivered from head to foot. "Woman, you should know the consequence of provoking me." He continued to ice her with his voice. "Well... Mr. Jacob, you are so mean to me, how dare I provoke you? I''ve really left you a message. If you don''t believe me, you can go back to check. The bottom of the second drawer on the bed is..." "I know." He had an inborn sharp sense like a leopard. Nothing could escape his eyes even if the object was turned slightly. But to be honest, what''s her message? It''s like saying that she''s pitiful. She said that she didn''t deserve any credit. At best, she still suffered. Let her go for her hard work... "What?" Hearing his words, Era was stunned. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. "It proves that I didn''t run away. I didn''t dare to offend you, but I had no choice." What a perverted man! She hid the letter so well that he could find it! "Don''t forget, as the old saying goes, ''a day together as couple means endless devotion''. We were together after all. Jacob, don''t be too heartless, life is not an ant after all. I can give up my life, but I don''t want to be your burden..." Chapter 46 Are You Still Angry Chapter 46 Are You Still Angry "Shut up!" Finally, Jacob couldn''t stand her anymore. He coldly nced at her and said, "if you don''t want to died, get on the car right now!" "Okay..." Era pressed her lips and blinked her big eyes innocently, then got on the car as requested. Then he threw a towel to her and demanded, "clean yourself." When she heard Jacob''s voice above her head, her heart couldn''t help but quiver. Ah... She was so poor. However, in Jacob''s words, he asked, "where do you live?" Then he started the car. "Well... 63 on Elton street." At this moment, Era thought of a saying, "Leniency to those who confess their crimes and severity to those who resist it." Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. The car went off like an arrow off the string. It was so fast that Era couldn''t see the scenery along the road, but she didn''t feel ufortable. Sure enough, the quality of the car is excellent! But it seems that this is not the car we drovest time. This guy is really rich! As she was less likely to die, Era began to let her imagination run wild. As soon as she opened the door of the apartment, her head hit a hard object. Before she could react, her body had been dragged in brutally, and her back was heavily thrown on the door. Then the door was mmed shut with a "bang". To her surprise, she found that he was holding her in his arms, and a cold aura made her shiver. "You... Didn''t you say that you wouldn''t me me?" Era stammered. But in her memory, he didn''t say that clearly. But who cared? The most important thing right now was to deceive him and rx him. She didn''t want him to kill her on impulse. His handsome face was hidden in the dark. He said coldly, "your death has been postponed." After saying that, he gave her a ferocious kiss, which almost swallowed her, and stopped all her questions. Then he held her in his arms and went to the bed in the room. Postponed?! Era stared at the ceiling, speechless. However, it was said that 99% people who postpone their death will not die... The next moment, both she and he, wet from head to toe, fell into the soft bed. He kept kissing her fiercely all the way. Even if Era wanted to refuse, she could not find a chance. He wanted her at all costs, as if he wanted her into his flesh and blood, which was so frightening! After experiencing the long and tormenting life and death struggle before, Era finally rxed and let out a sigh of relief. The famr passion swept through the whole body, as if even the heart was shocked. They seemed to have been in harmony for the first time. It turned out that they had always been like this¡ª¡ª On the hillside behind Elton, there was a t slope and a thick grass like a fine natural green nket. Eray on the grass. She wore a white T-shirt, a pair of jeans, a ponytail and her little face was behind the big ck frame sses. The heat of the bright sun poured down. The tree shadows were mottled, and sweat dripped from her smooth forehead, but she was still lying there motionless. Now her bones all over her body seemed to have been reorganized. Last night, Jacob insisted on following her back to the apartment. For the sake of her life, she could not turn him down. Then... Then they were like a dry faggot on a zing fire... Pooh... She was not the faggot... In a word, she was forced to burn fiercely until she was exhausted! Then... Era fixed her eyes on a sapphire ring in her hand. He forcefully put the ring on her finger, saying that from now on, she was his shadow, and that she couldn''t leave him. Otherwise, he would kill her without mercy! You jerk! Did he really know the meaning of the ring? How could he trap a woman with it so easily. How could a man like him understand love or not? He should only know whether to ept it or not, and he didn''t care about others'' feelings at all. s! Era sighed. She''s on his cklist now, she can only listen to him... The sapphire gave out a dazzling light in the sun, so beautiful and dazzling. But Era was still preupied. She didn''t have her period as scheduled. She bought a pregnancy test paper the day before yesterday. But it turned out she''s not pregnant. Her period might not be right sometimes, but it was rare for someone like her to be half a monthte. She didn''t know whether she was pregnant or not? But Jacob suddenly appeared again. Things werepletely out of her control. She wanted to get her life back on track, but there was someone who was able to prevent her from achieving her goal... "What are you looking at?" Allie Ying is her only friend in Elton. She was kind-hearted and a bit silly. Suddenly, she showed up quietly and took the ring from Era''s hand. "It seems to be the heirloom of a wealthy family. Where is it from?'' She bent over, stared at Era and asked. "I picked it up." "Era held a grass in the corner of her mouth and answered in a leisurely way. "You do this again." Allie Ying smiled mysteriously and approached her. "Did that man give it to you?" "Which one? " "The one who came to see you yesterday." "How could it be possible? Our rtionship is not what you think." After she finished her words, she turned to look at the other side of the hill. Look! The flowers there are blooming! They''re so beautiful! " "Flowers? Where? Allie Ying looked in the direction of her finger and saw a piece of green. "Angie, don''t change the subject!" She couldn''t help but get mad. Every time it happened, she almost couldn''t stand it. However, she thought for a moment and came up with an idea. Era was trying to hide it. "Haha..." She came closer to Era again with a smile. "He sent you such a precious thing, are you married?" When she finished her words, she even made a bow to Era, with a more meaningful smile on her face. "Allie!" Seeing that she was getting more and more ridiculous, Era suddenly sat up and stared at her. "Don''t spread the rest of your brain cells to a thousand times before you use them on me. I''ll say it again. The rtionship between that man and me is not what you think!" It will only be moreplicated than you think! Era couldn''t help but sigh in her heart... Chapter 47 The New Student Actually Was Her Chapter 47 The New Student Actually Was Her "Then tell me, what''s your rtionship?" Allie red at her. "Nothing." Not wanting to argue with her anymore, Era grabbed the ring from her hand and walked down the hill. "Make connections even if you have no rtionship with him!" Allie couldn''t help but rolled her eyes behind her. She can''t forgive her friend''s foolishness. "You know that? Everyone in the school knows that you have a handsome boyfriend." Ethan was such a big mouth! No wonder she felt strange when she came to campus today. Era stopped. It seemed that she was about to get into trouble again. "You know that among the so-calleddy celebrities'' ssmates, the most keen thing is topare clothes, taste and boyfriend. Now that you have caused such a sensation, they naturally want to take action against you." "Let them go." Era shrugged. As the saying goes, "the tree craves calm but the wind will not abate". She could do nothing but wait. "Era, do you think you can exercise self-control so as to protect yourself from immorality in Elton?" Allie shouted with anger. My God! Was this stupid woman really her friend? She was pissed off. "Now you have only two choices. First, bring your boyfriend in high-profile, so that they will be sincerely convinced of their defeat. Second, bear alone, be sneered and insulted by them. The winner takes all. You know that this is the unwritten rule of Elton." Era knew that Allie was not exaggerating. There were only two kinds of students in Elton. One was from the rich and powerful family, and the other was students from the ordinary families who attended the university with their achievements. These two kinds of people couldn''t mix with each other at all. Most of time, they werepeting with each other. The moment she entered Elton at the first ce, she had already be an eyesore to someone. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. Now, the appearance of Jacob must be stimting to their sensitive nerves. It''s all Jacob''s fault! He could have any woman he wanted. Why didn''t he let her go. Of course she wouldn''t too stupid to think that he would fall in love with her. She was pretty sure that Jacob didn''t know what love was. He chased after her just not take his defeat lying down. After all, no one had dared to challenge his dignity. Era was quite clear how cruel this man was. Maybe one day, when he was tired of her, he would still kill her without hesitation! Not only didn''t Era answer her question, but she acted as if she didn''t care about it at all. Allie took a few steps to catch up with her. "I''m telling you, you have to keep it in mind. A new student are going to transfer to our ss, and they want to hold a ball to wee the new student. Of course, it''s for you. They will try their best to humiliate you in the ball. Only if you bring your prince charming with you that day, can we cut down their arrogance..." "Well, Allie." Era suddenly interrupted her generous and passionate persuasion, "the next ss is Mrs. Liang''s ss. She is an ''irondy''. There are only ten minutes left. If you don''t want to be criticized, hurry up." Now she was in no mood to y games with them. As for the new ball, she didn''t care at all... When Era saw the girl getting out of the car, she was stunned. She didn''t expect her new ssmate to be... Anna. There was no way for her to pass the test to be admitted by Elton, and with the strength of Xu family, it would be a bit difficult for her to donate a quota to her. It must be Qi family who helped her. That car looked familiar. It must belong to Brooks. Then she saw Brooks get out of the car. Anna held his arm intimately. They came over together... Chapter 48 Are You Happy Now Chapter 48 Are You Happy Now She didn''t want to face them, at least not now! Era stood up suddenly and said to Allie sitting next to her, "I''m not feeling well. Please ask for a leave for me." Then she turned around and ran out of the ssroom. In the Deep Sea Bar. In the noisy atmosphere, two outstanding men stood at the corner, quietly drinking the clear liquid in their ss, not affected by anything around them, as if they had blocked all the noise. "Jacob, are you in such a hurry toe here just for drinking?" Jay Lin was silent for a while and asked in his heart. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. He was a handsome man with deep and gentle eyes, which were covered with golden rimmed sses. He was not as eye-catching as Jacob, but his gentle temperament was easily to attract women. "What''s wrong, Jay? You don''t want toe here if I just drink?" Jacob held up the ss and said coldly. "You are such a busy man. Obviously, you are in the city. But you even let me ask you out twice." "Well, you know I''m here for work. I''m not as idle as you are." A faint smile formed on Jay Lin''s face, with a flicker in his gentle ck eyes. "Do... Do you?" Squinting his handsome eyes, Jacob intentionally raised his tone and looked at him with unfathomable sight. He had the suspicion asst time when he was bid up by Elizabeth, but he couldn''t find the evidence. "Of course!" Jay Lin answered with ease. Then, in a careless manner, he stared at the back of Jacob and whistled frivolously. "Wow, a level one beauty!" They had been friends for many years, and of course Jacob knew the beauty he referred to was a woman with outstanding figure and face. But now, he had serious thing to talk about, and had no spare time to discuss a woman with him. "Don''t change the topic." He warned in a low voice and casually nced back. He frowned. The woman whom Jay Lin was talking about was Era. Tonight, she wore a ck midriff-baring tops which didn''t seem to fit. It was so tight that her slim waist was clenched to reveal her fair skin. In the dance floor, she was twisting her body to the dynamic music, while the men around her were all staring at her, they wanted to put their eyes on her... What did she want to do? Did she want to cuckold him? "Do you know her?" Jay Lin noticed his difference and asked out of curiosity. "No!" Jacob denied bluntly. He didn''t want Jay Lin to know their rtionship. In fact, he would never tell anyone that he had been bought by a woman for such a embarrassing thing! "Okay." Jay Lin stood up and said, casting a nce at him. "I''m going to the bathroom." The dancing floor''s lights go on and off. An alluring look was shown on Era''s face. Her body shook with the dance, and she danced herself, danced passion and the wild nature of Venus. She stretched her arms and legs to express her loneliness in her heart... She swore this was thest time she went crazy for Brooks! From now on, he had nothing to do with her! After a long dancing, she felt better. She asked for a ss of wine and sat in a corner. At once, a man came to her side, "Miss, our meeting must be destiny." Era turned her head and saw a round face. It was a big eggnt if it''s purple. It was the wretched man in the Cachino Western Restaurant... Chapter 49 They Are Acquaintances Chapter 49 They Are Acquaintances Sam Yeughed even more disgustingly when he saw Era recognized him. "Just as the saying goes... How do you say that..." He rubbed his forehead and pretended to be enlightened. "Oh, that''s it. Fate comes for a thousand miles, but we can''t hold hands when we meet without fate!" "I''m sorry, sir," said Era, who stood up in a cold manner. "I''m going to the bathroom." "Okay, I''ll wait for you." Damn it! ''Fatees for a thousand miles, but we can''t hold hands when we meet without fate. What was he talking about! He was as haunting as a ghost!'' Murmured Era as she turned into the corridor leading to the toilet, thinking that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a maning towards her. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Ouch!" Era gasped. Covering her aching forehead, she almost couldn''t help swearing at him. What a bad day today! She just wanted to go to the bathroom. "Hey, what''s wrong with you?" She suddenly raised her head and roared at the man in front of her. "I''m sorry, Miss. Did you get hurt?" When a mellow and gentle male voice rang out, Era caught sight of a handsome face. Under the two straight ck eyebrows, his deep eyes sparkled through the sses. The lights were shinning on his face, forming a shadow, and he looked handsome and outstanding! Wow, he was as handsome as Jacob! Besides, she felt a little familiar with him, as if she had met him before. Era''s heart raced as she was in a trance. "Are you okay, Miss?" The man asked with concern when he saw Era just staring at him silently. "No... Nothing!" Era changed her attitude right away and asked confusedly. "Sir, have we met?" "Is it?" The man showed a gentle and profound smile. "You''re so beautiful, Miss. I won''t forget you if I meet you." He had directly denied her, but he said in a tender and euphemistic tone. He was much cuter than Jacob. "Well," There was a hint of disappointment in Era''s tone. Incognizance? Why did she feel familiar with his scent? She really couldn''t remember where she had seen this handsome, gentle face. The man said with a gentle but seductive smile. "May I borrow your phone?" Era didn''t think of anything, she took the phone out of her bag and handed it to him. He pressed a few buttons and gave it back to her. "This is my phone number. Contact meter. And I have a friend who is waiting for me. Bye." He said gently and smiled at her. Then he turned around and walked to the reception. What? Holding the phone and blinking in confusion, Era thought, ''is it a romantic encounter?'' However, she didn''t dare to drink anymore. She had almost lost her life because of that ident. How could she repeat it again! Turning down Sam Ye''s invitation coldly, Era walked out of the bar. She waved, but the taxi was speeding past her. "Hey..." She walked a few steps and then stopped. She was really unlucky today. She just walked on the sidewalk. Two men rushed over from behind, covered her nose with a piece of cloth, and took her into a car. "Jacob, do you want to save the beauty?" As Jacob was walking out of the bar with Jay, he happened to witness the scene. Hearing that, the danger squinted in his cold eyes. Then he turned around and walked to the ce where he parked the car. His steps were still steady without any sign of hurry... Chapter 50 Protect Yourself Chapter 50 Protect Yourself Stupid woman! How could she be okay in a bar dressed like that! She was so stupid! "Well, I''m sorry that I talked too much. I didn''t drive today. You drive me." As he spoke, Jay opened the door of the passenger seat and smiled meaningfully. Will Jacob really be indifferent to that woman? He was interested in her! Jacob gave him a cold look and said nothing. He just started the car and roared away! "Where am I?" Era woke up in a daze. All she could remember was that she was waiting for a car outside the Deep Sea Bar, and then she had no impression of what would happen... Era raised her feeble body with her left arm and struggled to see clearly where she was, but before she could figure out the southeast and northwest, a man''s voice came over. "You wake up!" Hearing that, Era raised her head and looked to the direction of the voice. It was the "eggnt"! Sitting cross legged, Sam looked at her with a smile. "What do you want?" The looming answer made her fearful. It''s not the first time she''s had such a tragedy! She was not out of luck today. She was out of luck this year! "Don''t be afraid," As Sam didn''t answer her question, he walked up to her slowly with an obscene smile and said, "I won''t hurt you. I just want to invite you to have a drink here." "A drink?" Era cast a nce at the bed. Even the stupid person could tell that he had an axe to grind here. But she still tried to calm down and tried to figure out if there was a chance to escape. "Okay!" Era giggled. "But..." In the end, she changed her tone into aining one. "You''ve made me weak. How can I drink?" Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Don''t worry. It won''t take long." Sam took two cups full of amber liquid and handed one to Era. "Maybe after drinking this ss of wine, you will recover your strength." His eyes fell on her neck and herrge breast. "Then, cheers!" Trying to ignore his disgusting eyes, Era took the ss and swallowed the hot liquid. "Great! That''s great!" Sam also drank up all the liquid in his cup in one breath and then filled the two sses again. He lewdly sat beside Era and dragged her arm. With a dark face, she said, "you know that? I fell in love with you at first sight when I went on a business trip to C City. You are always in my mind." "Really?" Era clenched her teeth and forced a stiff smile. One ss after another, under the influence of alcohol, Sam put his big hand on Era''s shoulder and said, "baby, let me tell you. I am a famous man in S City. You know that? If you follow me, I am sure to give you an excellent life!" Era felt that her strength was slowly recovering. She refilled Sam''s ss again and said with a charming smile, e on, let''s have another drink." Her voice was so soft and sweet that he was almost intoxicated with it. Finishing his drink, Sam pped the ss of wine behind him. His fat body pounced on Era like a hungry wolf. "Honey, now it''s time to do something, right? Hahaha..." Chapter 51 Thank You Chapter 51 Thank You "Don''t worry." Era spoke with a pout, staring at the empty bottles on the table. "No, I can''t wait." His mouth is full of scum and sticks to her skin. As Era dodged, she stretched out her arms secretly and grabbed the bottle. She took the opportunity and exerted all her strength to hit his head. "Ah..." With a cry like a pig being killed, the blood sttered all over the ce. In a hurry, Era got out of bed and ran to the door. "Damn it!" She cursed, and the door was locked. She tried to shake it off but failed. "You bitch! How dare you hit me!" Sam stood up unsteadily. She turned back in a panic and saw a ferocious face that was dyed red by blood. He didn''t fall down! She should improve her ability of hitting people! The man approached Era step by step, wearing an evil and creepy smile. "Don''t... Don''te any closer!" Era leaned against the wall, trembling with fear. Now she had no other choice. "Humph! How dare you y tricks on me! Don''t ever dream of it!" Being slightly drunk and hurt, Sam was still agile. He ferociously held her in his arms. "Let me go! If you dare to do anything to me, I will sue you for violence tomorrow!" "Just sue! No one will believe you. Hahaha..." Heughed wildly and seemed to have lost his mind. He cursed her! Seeing that, Erapletely lost her temper and bit hard on his arm. "Ah! How dare you bite me!" Hearing the sound of a p, she felt so painful and fell to the ground. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. "Ah!" The sharp paining from the back made Era scream out. She fell down on the debris of the ss. "Ah!" As she struggled, she felt like a sharp knife was stabbed into her back. Ouch! She struggled to stand up, but the man did not intend to let her go at all! "Help... Help me..." "No one will save you." Sam sneered... "No!" Era struggled and cried out weakly due to the pain. Tears had covered her face. "No..." Her voice grew fainter and fainter, and she felt her consciousness begin to drift away. Just when she thought she would die here, with a loud bang, the door was knocked open. A tall and angry man entered¡ª¡ªJacob! It was Jacob! He wasing to save her. Era suddenly felt relieved and fell asleep at ease. "Jacob, don''t... Don''t kill him..." She spoke intermittently before she fell into aa, with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth. When Jacob saw Era covered in blood, he raised his eyebrows and punched Sam on the face. At this moment, Sam had just stood up from the ground. Jacob held the injured Era up and said to Jay, "I''ll leave the rest to you. Remember the meaning of ''life is worse than death'' " Without a pause, he passed Jay and walked out of the yard. Jay had never seen Jacob was so angry like this before, so he stared at his back in surprise. Then he curled his lips into a weird smile. It seemed that the trick of Mrs. Ye really changed Jacob! Chapter 52 Heartbeat In The Morning Chapter 52 Heartbeat In The Morning Fortunately, although Era had lost a lot of blood, the wound was not deep. She fainted probably because she was scared. After the doctor cleaned and disinfected her wound, she insisted on going home. The doctor also thought that the familiar environment was good for her to recover her mood, so Jacob took her back to the apartment. Terrified, coupled with the pain of the wound, Era continued to be awakened by nightmares at night. She didn''t let go of Jacob''s hand and kept sleeping all the time. She would wake up as long as he moved a little. "Mother, don''t leave me alone... Help me, help me. It''s so dark, so cold... Mom... I''m so scared..." In the end, Jacob had no choice but he beside her and pretend to be her Mommy. As he patted on her back, heforted her in an awkward and soft tone, "it''s all right. Go to bed early..." The next morning, after Era woke up from a sharp pain in her back, she opened her eyes and found a big hand lying on the wound. He has never taken care of anyone. "Era, why did you wake me up when you were sleeping?" Jacob pped his hands and closed his eyes again because of tiredness. He rested his chin on her head and whispered, "be quiet. Don''t be naughty anymore..." Suddenly, Era gasped and got cocky. He touched her wound. It was obvious that he had done it on purpose! She moved her body to get rid of his control, but unexpectedly¡ª¡ªBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Jacob stretched his arms around her and held her tightly. It hurts! My wound! What happened? The woman turned her brain like a turtle when she came to realize it and finally remembered what had happened yesterday. His eyes were shadowed with night. When he touched her, she felt the stubble on his chin. He saved her yesterday, and took care of her afterwards? Uh... It was really unbelievable! ! "Don''t be so stiff, just like holding a piece of wood!" Jacob''s cold voice came from above with his scorching breath. "Well... Oh!" However, her heart was restless! "Does it still hurt?" Jacob was still taking a rest with his eyes closed. He stretched out his hand and touched her forehead. "It''s okay now..." If he didn''t press her wound. "You had a feverst night." "Oh..," Damn it! Could he be a little more cold and heartless? She didn''t get used to be like this! She was really not used to it! His breath, his heartbeat, his temperature, all of these made Era more and more nervous. She could only unconsciously gnaw the cloth in her hand. Finally, Jacob opened his eyes, and slowly took out her fingers. Era was confused and looked up at him confusedly. "Your clothes are going to be torn. I was so tiredst night. Didn''t you feel tired?" Not until then did Era realize that she was clinging to his clothes just now, and hearing his words that easily aroused excitement, her face immediately flushed. "I... I''m sorry..." Jacob curved his lips into a smile, and his handsome face slowly approached her. "What, what are you doing?" Era blinked desperately. "Era..." "Yes!" She answered nervously, feeling greatly remorseful. "Your face is so red..." Bang¡ª¡ªredder. She huddled herself up and tried to hide herself under the quilt. "Woman, don''t tell me you''re shy." His eyes were getting closer and closer, with a hint of tease. It suddenly urred to him that since he met this woman, he had seen her arrogant, desperate, rogue, cunning... But it seemed that he had never seen her behave like today¡ª¡ªshy! Chapter 53 Nightmare (Part One) Chapter 53 Nightmare (Part One) "Woman, don''t tell me you''re shy." Jacob approached her slowly and wore a mocking smile. "Let me tell you. I''m not shy!" She shrank so much that only her head was exposed outside the quilt. "Really?" "Yeah, yeah..." She nodded her head desperately. "In fact, you look quite cute when you''re shy!" Ah? God, how could Jacob praise me? She was really going to faint! Seeing that Era was hiding in the nket like a little mole and wriggling her body, Jacobughed in a low voice and stretched out his hand to ruffle her soft hair. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. He had never been so happy. In the past decades, every morning when he woke up, he was confused and indifferent, but now he was very happy. He didn''t know how long such happiness wouldst, but he knew that finding her and keeping her was the most right thing he had done in his life! After having breakfast, Era came to Elton because of ss. It doesn''t matter if she doesn''t listen to this ss. However, after what happened this morning, she didn''t know how to get along with Jacob. So she wanted to avoid him. "Angie, where were youst night?" Allie asked with a mysterious look on her face as soon as she sat down next to Era. "No, I''m just not feeling well." Turning the pages of her book, Era prayed that the professor who was giving a lesson today woulde as soon as possible. "What are you talking about? Tell me. Did you date that handsome guy yesterday?" "By the way, Allie, I want to borrow your yesterday''s notes." Not wanting to discuss that topic, Era tried to interrupt her. "Hey, don''t try to deceive me. I..." "Well, everybody, stop talking. Let''s call the roll now." A fat professor, who was about 50 years old, put down the teacup and began to register the documents on the desk. "Daria Jin." "Here I am." "Brown He." "Here I am." Era sighed with relief. ''Allie is great, but she always has many questions.'' "Everybody, I want to ask you a few questions before the ss begin. The first one is the ssical literature and the western literary literature. Do you think..." After the roll call, the fat professor pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose and said slowly. Bang! The door was pushed open at this time. He turned his head with displeasure and saw two men standing at the door. "We''re going to find Angie." "We are having a ss now." "We are police." The older man presented his document and said, "there''s a case now. We need the cooperation of Angie." The whole ssroom was boiling with excitement. All eyes were fixed on Era, who was sitting in the back seat. Then Era stood up and walked out of the ssroom, her mind nk. The eyes on her back were like stone. She could hear all the gossip. "What''s wrong? What''s wrong?" "God knows what will happen if she called by police. It must be a crime..." "Angie?" Outside the ssroom, two policemen were expressionless. "Someone said that you robbed money and injured people. Come with us." "Sir, this is pure nder, I didn''t..." The younger man coldly raised his hand to stop her. "We will investigate whether he framed you or not. Now all you need to do is cooperate with our investigation. " There was a sh of contempt in his eyes. The girl in front of him, with ck rimmed sses, a white T-shirt, jeans and a ponytail, looked pure. But no one could guarantee that she wouldn''t do such a thing. Nowadays girls are really depraved, doing anything for money. Chapter 54 Nightmare (Part Two) Chapter 54 Nightmare (Part Two) In the corridor, they walked past Anna who waste. Lowering Era''s head subconsciously, Anna still recognized her. ''Era? Why was she here?'' Perplexed, Anna walked into the ssroom. The fat professor was pounding on the desk to keep the students quiet. After finding an empty seat, Anna asked a girl beside her quietly, "what are you talking about?" "Angie." "Angie?" "Oh, I forgot you were new here. She is the first talented girl who entered the entrance exam of Elton. She has just been taken away by the police." The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled contemptuously. Angie? ''Era, you bitch! You thought you changed your name and I didn''t recognize you? The talented girl who was the first to take the examination to be Elton! Pooh! I knew well about herself. The top position on the list was either bribery or fraud! It was a good news. Era, you just wait to get out of Elton.'' Said Anna with a sinister smile. Then she said in a surprising tone, "Angie, a talented girl? How is that possible? I know her. Her name is Era Ling. She is just an average minded person." In the office of the police station, Sam sat on the chair with his head held high. He looked at Era coming in through the window. "Yes, it''s her." He stood up, nced at the thin man next to him, and said, "Officer Liao, you must punish this shameless bitch seriously. In addition, I don''t want too many people to know about this case. Do you understand what I mean?" "Yes, Mr. Ye. Don''t worry. I understand what you mean." The thin man nodded with a ttering smile. "Okay. Contact mywyer if you have any problem. It''s not appropriate for me to deal with it in person. He will handle it for me." Finishing his words, Sam looked at Era outside the door again andughed arrogantly. If he was in C City, he could just be a passerby. But he is a local bully in S City. He thought, ''how dare you challenge me? You are looking for death.'' For no reason, Era was taken to the police station under the charge of intentional injury and robbery. She tried to exin again and again, but no one listened. She didn''t realize what was going on until Sam proudly walked past her. Was she really going to jail? In the dark detention house, Era curled up in a corner, her face buried between her legs. She didn''t want to move at all. A moment ago, the police asked her family address, but she said she didn''t. She thought that her father definitely didn''t want to recognize her because of her poor look. If she really called Grace, it was very likely that she would say some false words about her... However, it couldn''t be kept secret. When she was brought here by the police, Anna saw... If she had told family about it, father would have pretended not to know... "Okay." She mumbled to herself. "Maybe it is not a bad thing that I have nothing to do with them any more..." Tears brimmed in her eyes. At that moment, she thought of Jacob. She knew that he could save her and he would also save her. Even though he treated her as a pet, bossy as he was, he didn''t want his own pet to be locked in someone else''s cage. She thought about it with self mockery. She was about tough it off, but unexpectedly, her heart was suddenly stung. So she didn''t say anything. In fact, she didn''t have his contact information either. She had been thinking about how to get rid of him, which was not only in the past, but now was even worse. Because she was afraid that his domineering figure would settle in her small heart. At that time, she would really enter the doomednd! When a waiter brought lunch to her, Era didn''t take a look at it. She was still immersed in her own thoughts. Half an hourter, the food was taken away. Time passed in the dim space. Era curled up in the corner and didn''t move a little. It was not until dusk that the iron gate was opened with a bang. "Angie,e out, you''re on bail." Dazedly, she walked out of the detention room and saw a tall and handsome man smiling at her in the sunlight. Even though he was wearing sses, he looked handsome and elegant! Era frowned in confusion. It was the "romantic encounter" in the bar! It can''t be true! This is unbelievable! How did he know that she was in trouble? Then it just happened as if rain drops from time to time. Don''t tell her that falling in love at first sight, it is a more illusory fairy tale than the story of white snow and seven short people. "Hey, we meet again." Jay saw that she was just looking at him with graceful eyebrows, but did not say anything. She smiled and hurriedly greeted him. "Why are you here?" Era asked straightforward. She had been very unlucky recently. It was hard for her to believe that she would be the lucky one to be saved by a handsome man whom she only met once. "You will know when we get out." He raised his eyebrows. Then, he turned around and said to a tall, thin man behind him, "I''ll keep my eyes on the case and hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible." "Yes, yes..." Officer Liao immediately bowed and scraped. "Mr. Lin, you can rest assured that we will never let go of a bad person, and we will never wrongly use a good person." "That''s good." Jay nodded and pointed to a serious man, "this is rk Chen, he''s herwyer. He will be responsible for all herwsuits." rk Chen? Is it the famouswyer who has fought nearly 100wsuits in the past five years and lost none of them? Officer Liao was in a cold sweat on his forehead. He had thought that the little girl was a solitary girl and had no one to depend on, so he was able to help the brother-inw of the secretary general of the government. He didn''t think of that her backer was Jay Lin, the CEO of the mysterious financial group in China Headquarter of the Imperial Group. He was a distinguished guest in S City and should not be offended. Now here came the firstwyer! Damn it! This time, he was going to raise a stone to hit his own foot. Outside the police station, in a lengthened luxurymercial vehicle, Jacob was leaning against the back seat leisurely, tasting a ss of excellent red wine. He nced around and saw two men and a woman walking out of the police station. After only one day, he actually missed the little woman! Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Everything goes well." Jay opened the back door for Era and said to Jacob. At this moment, rk Chen got on another car. "Really?" Jacob snorted with dissatisfaction and said, "Jay, when did you be so inefficient?" "Haha..." Jay raised his eyebrows and walked directly to his car. He opened the door and took the passenger seat. "Jacob, this is not a matter of efficiency, but art of action. Don''t be in a hurry if you want to get things done beautifully without leaving any future trouble." "Well, let''s see how you will perform ''life is worse than death''." He stretched out his arms and held Era. Chapter 55 Nightmare (Part Three) Chapter 55 Nightmare (Part Three) "Don''t worry. I will definitely satisfy you. You can imagine how wonderful it would be if a person suddenly fell from heaven to hell..." "Haha..." Jacob smiled! Era raised her head in surprise, and saw a good-looking smile on his face, but it didn''t melt the coldness in his eyes. Turning to look at Jay in front of her, she suddenly felt that although both of them had very different temperament, they were still cold and cruel. In their conversation, there was nothing left in the air! She should have found that they were the same sort of people! She was so stupid to believe that Jay had a crush on her! And stupidly cling to this elegant man! What a fool... Era sighed and looked out of the window. Thedy in his arms was unusually quiet, but Jacob didn''t like it. He raised his hand and hooked her little face, and his warm breath brushed her sensitive neck. "Do you regret it? Don''t make... People die!" Confusedly, Era winked at him and realized that he meant what she had just said. But, do you regret it? She shook her head. Sam was such an asshole! But in any case, she didn''t want Jacob to kill someone for her! This woman was so stupid! Jacob''s voice was cold. "Don''t you care that he''s ruined you?" "Of course I care! But his wickedness will surely be judged. Why should we dirty our hands?" "Do you think you''ll be judged fairly without our help? You''re lying to yourself!" "I didn''t ask you to help!" Hearing what Jacob said, Era got angry. She raised her head, her eyes glowing. She said bravely, "do you think staying around you is any different from going to jail? What''s the use of your help? You just locked me in another cage." Eyebrows frowned, he grabbed her chin and asked, "you mean you''d rather be in jail than stay with me?" "Yes." Era went all out, fearlessly looking into his cold eyes. At least she doesn''t have to worry in prison ¡ª¡ªher heart will fall! "Stupid! You will pay for what you have said today!" This woman was getting more and more impudent. Did she really think that he could do nothing to her? "No, Jacob." Jay suddenly interrupted and tried to break the embarrassment. "I don''t want anybody to die and don''t want to owe anybody anything. Mercy and kindness is not foolishness. It is something that has long been abandoned by us. But you can''t deny that it still exists in this world." She''s really brave to fight Jacob. He even want to p for her! Of course he should speak in her favor. "Mercy and kindness?" Hearing that, Jacob frowned. It was indeed a word which was so strange to him that he even forgot its existence. Elizabeth said that Era was his shadow. Then, what if this shadow possessed something that he had lost? He found that... He wanted to monopolize her more! But before that, she must be tamed. He would pull them out before she shows her sharp nails! "Jay, we will stay in the vi in the suburb of your city today." He said coldly, with a charming smile on his thin lips. Jay''s vi was quiet and gorgeous. The fragrance of flowers filled the air with the night wind. The moonlight stretched Era''s beautiful shadow long on the soft long carpet. "Angie, what happened to you? Why did you turn on your phone sote after I called you for a whole day?" "It''s a long story, Allie. I''ll tell you tomorrow at school." Xi Er said in a weak voice. After hanging up the phone, she leaned against the sofa and sighed. Then she looked outside. The ripples were rippling outside, and the surroundings were surrounded by the brilliant light of the crystalmps. The two strong and tall figures in the swimming pool were glimmering with the light moonlight. Era kept staring at the man in the water and found herself unable to move away. They should both be men who paid attention to exercise. Their strong bodies were shining with light. She couldn''t help staring at the strong chest of the man outside the ss window, and she felt her cheeks burning when she looked at it. As if by telepathy, Jacob raised his head suddenly and looked around with his sharp eyes. Then he turned back quickly and urately locked her beautiful eyes. Then, Jay looked at the same direction. "Jay, you can take your time to deal with that matter." Jay was stunned by his sudden question, and then understood that he was referring to the case of Era. "Uh, Jacob, you are not so mean, do you retaliate for a few words from the little girl?" "When did you be so noisy?" Jacob nced at him coldly. "It''s not noisy, it''s truth!" Jay raised his eyebrows. He was the only person in the world who dared to say such words to Jacob. Now he had a ally. Jacob stared at him coldly and said, "do as I say!" He didn''t mean to take revenge. He just wanted her to ept the reality. He wanted her to stop her sharp ws in front of him, and also stop her promiscuous mercy and kindness! Era saw that they were talking, but she couldn''t hear what they were saying. She only saw Jay ncing at her with sympathy. Then Jacob crooked his finger to beckon her. What a jerk! He really treated her as a pet who was ready toe and go at any time! Frowning, Era still leaned against the sofa, motionless! Then she saw that Jacob left the swimming pool and picked up his phone on the shore. ''''Listen to the cry of the sea, who sighed and who hurt his heart. Still in aa...'' Era was shocked by the mobile phone in Era''s hand. She looked at the strange number with fear, and then looked at Jacob who was just making a phone call. Did... Did he call? She clicked the answer key and said, "hello..." "You have ten seconds to appear in front of me, or you won''t be able to get out of bed tomorrow!" A cold and charming voice came into her ears. Bang! The phone dropped to the ground. Before she could pick up her phone, Era rushed out of the room to the swimming pool. She believed that the man would do anything, but what she feared most was to be imprisoned by him. Obviously, he knew her weakness. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. The gap between their strength was rather huge. If she struggled with him, she would end up with two endings, lose and lose very miserably... Chapter 56 Fragility (Part One) Chapter 56 Fragility (Part One) "You can go now." Seeing that Era came in a hurry, Jacob said coldly to Jay. Jay didn''t say anything, but gave an unfathomable nce at Era, and then left. His tall and strong body sat leisurely on the bamboo chair by the side of the swimming pool. Jacob picked up the crystal cup and gently shook the red wine in it. His eagle eyes had already fallen on her, emitting a cold aura. Era felt his gaze was like a sharp sword piercing through her heart, and she could not help but froze. "Come here." Jacob noticed a hint of astonishment in her eyes and said in a low voice, which was full of coldness and dignity as usual. The emotionless smile on his lips was reflected in her beautiful eyes. She felt that the blood in her body was slowly flowing back. At least she felt that her fingertips were cold. Jacob stared at her with great patience, swirling the wine ss leisurely and taking a sip, he was confident and unruly. Instead of urging her, he waited patiently. Like a hunter tasting her panic. As if seeing a trace of mockery across his lips, Era took a deep breath and slowly approached him. The cold air emitting from him was closer to her, and gradually she was wrapped in this air. "I..." As soon as she said that, she felt dizzy. In a blink of an eye, she was confined to hisps. "You''ve got guts! How dare you resist? Huh?" He whispered in her ears. "I''m sorry." Era''s eyes were full of smoke and resignation. "Era, you are smart. You should know the consequence of challenging me. I don''t want what happened today to happen again." Jacob squeezed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "I got it." She nodded. In the end, she had no choice but to surrender to fate, which she could not resist. Her obedience pleased him. He held her chin and rubbed it gently. "Did you miss me in the prison today?" Although he said it in a determined and low voice, it was hard to avoid. Even Jacob didn''t know why he cared so much about the answer. However, he was a looter and she was his shadow, what he wanted was more than just her body. For a moment, Era was confused, but soon she became indifferent... "No, I''m not!" She wanted to give such a firm answer. But she knew she would get hurt if she acted tough. "Yes." She lowered her voice. She did have thought of him, but not what he wanted. "Good girl." The man''s low voice rose in her ears. His mellow voice was like the red wine in a ss, more like bewitching. What did he want to do? Looking up at his smiling eyes, Era''s heart sank. Sure enough¡ª¡ª He raised his eyebrows slightly, with wild and enchanting expression in his eyes. He pointed at the ss of wine and said, "I want you to feed me this wine!" Era stared into Jacob''s eyes, which were sharp and cold. She knew that she had no secrets under his gaze. Thinking of this, she sighed softly in the bottom of her heart. The next moment, she had raised the ss of wine gently and took a sip, then put it down. She put her tender arms around his neck and slowly covered his lips with her soft body. Era closed her eyes. Only in this way could she refrain herself from pushing him away! She was nothing but a pet to him. So as long as she was obedient and submissive, she felt sadder at the thought of it for some reason... With the wine gone, Era wanted to get out of here as what had happened just now made her feel lowly. However¡ª¡ª Jacob held her waist more firmly and he began to take the initiative. He encircled herpletely within his breath. The kiss fell with his overbearing force again, and his strong masculine smell searched every corner of her. "Uh... Don''t..." Era raised her small hand and pressed it against his chest, but her strength was as insignificant as an ant to him. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org. The next moment, he shackled her hands with a single big hand, firmly fixing it on her head. The other hand slowly moved down along her cheek, with the domineering power of a man... The ss slipped from her hand, and her breath became rapid! How could he do this? "No, don''t do that..." Era turned around and tried to get rid of him. The passionate stirring made the air surrounding warm gradually. Era''s heart softened a little. Though she did it with great care, she stiffened Jacob''s body. His cold eyes lost usual calmness. Era suddenly opened her eyes and came to her senses. My God! What was he doing? If he was really here, then what was all her patience?! "Jacob, please!" She gripped his big hand. Although her voice was very weak, it had a loving power. "What''s wrong? Don''t you think it''s beautiful here?" He touched her smooth forehead with his big hand, stroking her charming and delicate features... Chapter 57 Fragility (Part Two) Chapter 57 Fragility (Part Two) "Please don''t... " Era shook her head and said with determination. It''s really beautiful, but it''s spacious. The light was so bright that everyone in the vi could see it. It was humiliating to do it in such an environment! Jacob frowned, with displeasure in his eyes. "Era, have you forgotten what you just said?" He did not know what she was thinking, so he did not allow her to decline again. Women were so fickle, and she was no different! As soon as he raised his hand. "Jacob, release me!" Era''s mind went nk all of a sudden. She kicked him hard with her slender legs. Since she had endured it in return for humiliation, she didn''t need to endure it anymore! Finally, Jacob left her temporarily. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Shocked and terrified, Era stared at him. The only thought in her mind was to run away! However, it was even more difficult to escape from Jacob. As soon as she got up, he grabbed her hand. Jacob reached out his arms and hugged her. "Let me go! I don''t want to... You are shameless..." Era was still struggling. Her fists and kicks failed to hurt him but made him even more angry. . "Shut up!" Jacob roared fiercely and held her slim waist with his big hand. "No..." Era shouted. In desperation, she bit on his arm, and blood slowly oozed from the corner of her mouth. Anger burned in his eyes, almost burning her to ashes. She raised her eyebrows and he threw her into the swimming pool. With a loud bang, the water sshed. "Ahem!" Era choked on the water, coughed, poked her head out, wiped the water from her face, and groveled on the shore. "You''d better reflect in the water." A cold voice came from the top of Era''s head. She felt nervous and looked up in a panic at the strong man standing proudly by the pool¡ª¡ª Bathed in the light, his bronze skin seemed to be covered with ayer of mysterious silver color, which made him look like an invincible devil in the dark legends. But it was damn confusing! Instantly, her restless dashed into his dark pool¡ª¡ªa dazzling fire! He could destroy her armor only by a nce! But she didn''t want to admit defeat! She would rather die in the water than live with him here. She had been wronged for too long, and her stubbornness and arrogance all broke out at this moment! The wound in her back was still aching! She clenched her fists unconsciously, and her nails almost dug into the flesh of her palms. The chillness of the water in the night flow pierced into every cell of Era''s body, making her heart tremble! However, she still looked up into his eyes and didn''t back off. But she didn''t realize how sexy her posture of lying on the shore was. Her delicate body was partly hidden and partly visible, attracting his dark eyes. Her eyes softened his determination for a moment. But the dull pain in his arm made him squint his cold eyes in danger. How could he be merciful! The little wild cat''s sharp ws had not been removed, and it showing its little sharp teeth to him. He liked her wildness, but it didn''t mean that he could be attacked by her! This made him more interested in punishing her, taming her, but would never sympathize with her, pitying her! "I didn''t think you liked being in the water." He smiled evilly and jumped into the water the next moment. Chapter 58 Fragility (Part Three) Chapter 58 Fragility (Part Three) "You want to escape?" He smirked, but deliberately clung to her waist with his big palm. "You''ve learned to negotiate with me, right? Don''t forget that you belong to me. It''s natural to make me happy!" "No! No! That''s what you forced me to do..." Era shook her head desperately. Now the only thing in her mind was run. She wanted to run away from this man. Even if she was sent to prison or died! "Force you? Don''t forget who started it first? I''ll take control of everything about you! Otherwise, you will have no choice but to die!" He put on a cold smile, and his evil eyes sparkled. However, Era wasn''t scared at all in her eyes now. In the past few days, a chain of bad things had exhausted her, and she had almost copsed... She smiled coldly with desperation in her eyes. "Well, then kill me, and we''re done!" "You..." Outraged, Jacob suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. Era raised her face and closed her eyes without fear, waiting for him to throttle her. The air froze immediately. He''d better strangle her to death, so that she would be relieved. Suddenly, he pulled her down! "Uh..." Guru! Era was dragged into the cold pond. Her hair was still on the surface of the water, while her head was buried in the water. The air was suddenly drained. The pond water was poured in again, and a sense of suffocation pressed her heart! Her eyes were filled with cold water. She didn''t know whether it was the water in the pond or her tears... If she died, no one would cry for her... The feeling of sadness surged up, and her throat was even more blocked. The sense of suffocation gradually approached, and it was about to push her into the dark abyss... But he pulled her out of the water. "Era, you have the only chance. After he finished speaking, she closed her eyes and smiled coldly and bleakly. Did she really want to die? With his cold eyebrows knitted, his hands grasped her neck tightly... Soon her face turned blue. She just closed her eyes and didn''t struggle at all. Her face appeared in his mind. What kind of despair made her so afraid of death before, and now she wants to die? Jacob''s cold and hard heart skipped a beat. As soon as he released his fingers, her slender body fell into the water... When she opened her eyes again, Era was still in a state of dizziness, only felt a pain in her back and throat. The stabbing and burning pain made her pause for a few seconds, trying to slowly get used to the convulsive pain. Then a low voice came to her ears¡ª¡ª "Dr. Fang, how is she?" "Oh, except that her back was inmed and her throat was slightly torn, she is basically fine. It''s possible that she has slight anemia due to excessive pressure, but..." "What? Please go ahead, doctor Fang." "Well... I am not an expert obstetrician, but with my experience, thisdy should be... Pregnant." "Pregnant?" "I''m not sure. Mr. Lin, you can take her to the obstetrics and gynecology department." Pregnant? She? She should have been surprised, her n worked. But why was she still so sad? Why did the God y such a joke with her! He gave her this child when she didn''t want to live. Did that mean she had no right to die now. With a long sigh, she turned over and closed her eyes. Footsteps in her ears. Then she slowly opened her eyes and looked into the golden curtain. "Era?" She tilted her head and looked up nkly at the handsome, gentle smile. "Mr... Mr... Mr. Lin..." As soon as she spoke, her throat ached more. "How do you feel?" He asked with concern. "Am I... Pregnant?" She didn''t answer his question but stared at him, waiting for his answer. "Don''t you know?" Era shook her head. She hadn''t paid any attention to it at all since the sudden appearance of Jacob. A sudden dizziness and chill swept over her. She turned her head and looked at the golden yellow figure by the window... "Is the child his?" Era suddenly turned around, stared at him and said nothing. Was she that kind of casual girl in his eyes? Not until this moment did Jay realize that his question seemed a little hurtful to her. "Uh... Have a good rest. I''ll go out now." He touched his nose and said. He asked after a few steps, "well, are you hungry? I''ll have someone bring you some porridgeter." Era shook her head. How could she have the appetite now? "I''ll ask them to cook you some food at night." After that, Jay looked at her again and left. "Mr. Lin!" Just as he was about to close the door, Era stopped him. She stared at him with her big eyes and hesitated before asking, "where is he?" "Jacob? He went out to deal with something. I''ll call him if you want to see him." She was so young, in the face of Jacob''s callousness, he could not help but have somepassion for her. In fact, after Jacob took unconscious her back to her room, he had been drinking by the swimming pool. She''s just pregnant. It''s too cruel for her! So he told a white lie. Jacob had been expressionless and cold as usual. He couldn''t figure out what he was thinking at the moment? But what Jay can be sure is that Jacob will either be cruel to this girl to the end, or he will be very pampered, he will never be indifferent to women as before... "No, thanks." Era shook her head and fixed her eyes on the wall, muttering, "so he doesn''t know that I''m pregnant?" "Well, it should be, Dr. Fang did not meet with him." "Then... Can I ask you for help?" "What is it?" Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Era got out of bed and walked to Jay slowly. "Please." Unexpectedly, Era knelt down in front of Jay. "Please don''t tell Jacob that I''m pregnant. Please..." "What are you doing? Get up!" Jay reached out to pull her up. "No, I won''t get up if you don''t agree!" Era begged, raising her head. She could see that the rtionship between Jay and Jacob was not simple. But she was just an unexpected intruder for Jay, and she was not much better than the passerby. She couldn''t ask him to keep the secret for her. However, she had to give it a try for the sake of the baby in her womb. She could almost be sure that if Jacob knew that she was pregnant, he''s going to let her have an abortion or imprison her. She couldn''t ept either kind of result. She had lost too much. If she lost the baby in her womb, there''s really nothing in the world that she can miss. "Please stand up. I can''t promise you that. Anyway, Jacob is the father of the child, and he should know it." Jay''s tone became cold. Was he wrong? Was this girl not as simple as he thought. Did she want to stealthily give birth to the baby to threaten Jacob? Then she must have mistaken her goal. There was no one in the world who could threaten Jacob. Being keenly aware of his suspicions, Era hastily exined, "Mr. Lin, don''t worry. I never thought of relying on my child to marry into a rich and powerful family. I just want to keep my baby. He is the only family I have in the world. I can''t lose him." "Even if I tell Jacob, you won''t lose your child." As Jacob''s personality, this is not possible, so Jay said that without confidence... Chapter 59 The Disturbance Of Elton (Part One) Chapter 59 The Disturbance Of Elton (Part One) "I can''t take the risk, not at all..." Era shook her head and misted her beautiful eyes. She suddenly said in a sad and low voice, "Mr. Lin, do you know how miserable it is to live alone in this world..." Hearing this, Jay''s ck eyes shed a trace of excitement. How could he not know the misery of living alone and helpless in the world. He had been wandering alone until he was 15 years old... The secret he had hidden for a long time was now triggered. He misunderstood her! He couldn''t help having morepassion for Era, which reminded him of his little sister who had been missing since childhood. At that time, she was only three years old, and now she was almost the same as Era. She should have be a beautiful girl. Well, he sighed. In fact, he had a special feeling for her when he first saw her. She was more like a lovely little sister than a woman. "If... If you call me brother, I might really forget that you are pregnant." "Brother..." Era was so smart that she could open her mouth as soon as he finished his words. "Hehe, get up. It''s cold on the ground. You are pregnant now. You should take care of yourself. You haven''t had dinner yet. I''ll have someone prepare the dinner and you must eat more." "Thank you, brother." Era nodded. Jay''s tone was gentle with the warmth of the family. Unconsciously, her cold heart seemed to be filled with a warm current... The moonlight quietly poured like the flowing water with the deep starry stars on the surface of the swimming pool. The blue waves reflected clear ripples. By the side of the huge pool, Jacob sipped the wine andzily leaned his strong body against the back of the chair. There was no warmth in his dark eyes. Jay slowly approached and sat in a rocking chair beside him, looking at the starry sky. "She has had dinner and went to bed." Without uttering any words, Jacob just nced at him coldly. His slender fingers shook the crystal cup. The red wine in the ss was as red as the blood of a woman. "She reminded me of my long lost sister, and I couldn''t help but adopt her as my sworn sister." Jacob stared at Jay with his sharp eyes, and his body was shrouded in chilling coldness. Jay continued as if he didn''t feel it. "So, be nice to her from now on. She is poor, lonely and helpless..." All of a sudden, Jacob narrowed his eyes and drank up the wine in his ss. Then he waved his hand, raised the goblet and drank up the wine in it¡ª¡ª p! The crystal clear ss was smashed into pieces by a powerful force. Her silvery and sharp voice echoed around the swimming pool. "Jay, you really can''t change your tender nature for women." He gets angry at the thought of her around Jay, Jacob said in a mean tone. That woman was not simple. She just disobeyed him again and again, and she turned around and called Jay brother. Did she think that Jay could be her shield? Hum, she was so naive! A lump came into his throat. He red at his friend angrily, the ferocity and eagerness in his eyes seemed to kill him at once. "I have no choice..." However, Jay didn''t care about it at all. He sighed, "I can''t watch a flower in bud wither like this." "What do you mean? Say it clearly." Jacob was still wearing a gloomy face. "She told me that she didn''t want to live anymore. She was alone and helpless. She would be bullied by others. She was so pathetic. So I agreed to let her be my sworn sister..." She didn''t want to live anymore! Jacob''s heart missed a beat. Before Jay could finish his words, he stood up and turned around to leave! It was so quiet in the room that he could even hear a faint breath of air. Since Jacob came back from the swimming pool, he had been staying there. He bent over and gazed at the sleeping Era. It was the first time that he had looked at her so carefully. She had a pure and innocent face. The fan-shaped eyshes were close to her eyes, her delicate nose, her fragrant cheeks were somewhat annoying, her delicate cherry lips, the delicate oval face was as smooth as jade, and her skin was as cold as snow... His ck eyes shed with pity that he didn''t notice. Then he lowered his head and lightly fell on her dry lips. It was the first time that he had been so angry and out of control tonight. He had been able to control his emotions well since he was a child. But this woman always had ways to make him out of control and broke his rules again and again. Just because she disobeyed him? Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Or because of her eyes which preferred death to grievance? Or was she unfriendly to him? Until now, he really couldn''t understand his mood. A woman should not have let him waste his time like this. But he just couldn''t help thinking about it. He couldn''t sort out his feelings and he even didn''t want to deal with the mess anymore. After he saw her long eyshes tremble, he straightened up and leaned against the bedside. Era didn''t sleep well. She felt something was touching her lips and opened her eyes immediately. Then she saw his ck eyes, which were full of unknown thoughts, fixed on her. It reminded her of what happened tonight. She covered her lower abdomen subconsciously, quickly shrank in the corner of the bed and stared at him with wide eyes alertly. Did Jay regret and tell him about her pregnancy? There was a touch of apology in his eyes, but he didn''t say anything. However, he was a little unhappy because of her dodge. She was his woman. How could she be so afraid of him? "Come here!" His heart ached for her. He reached out and tried to hug her, but he saw that she shrank back in fear, and he paused in the air. "I won''t hurt you again. Come here." Her distrust made his heart ache. The emotion from his dark eyes was well known as something that he had never experienced before. And it began to spread. There was regret, pain and guilt in his eyes, but Era could only see the cold-blooded ck eyes in the swimming pool. "Era?" Seeing that she was still staring at him with a frightened look on her face, Jacob stared nkly and mumbled her name, but he didn''t reduce her resistance to him. Jacob clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Finally, he loosened his grip and rushed out of the bed. Early in the morning, the first ray of sunshine shone into the room and Era got up. In the bathroom, there was no need to cover the body of the woman who had just taken a bath. Standing in front of the mirror, Era looked at the pale and haggard woman in the mirror, and slightly raised the corner of her lips. She smiled even more happily, with her hands on her t lower abdomen. Now she was not alone, so she had to cherish her life. She wanted to live on and live a good life! From now on, she would be a new and optimistic Era! After breakfast, Era decided to go to Elton. After all, her case needed more time to be investigated. She couldn''t wait any longer. She refused Jay''s offer of driving her home. She would be a mother and be more independent. However, it was out of her expectation that she became themon enemy of everyone in Elton in just one day. "Liar and shameless! How dare youe back!" "You''re not Elton''s pride, you''re disgrace!" "Yes, get out of Elton! Get out of Elton!" As soon as Era entered the gate of the school, their eyes were filled with disdain and their voice full of sarcasm... No wonder when she went out, Jay stared at her strangely and asked, "are you sure you want to go to school on your own? You are still very weak. I think you''d better stay at home to have a rest." He is a good man. He must have guessed what she would suffer if the news of her engagement got out. And that was why he tried to stop her. In contrast to his kindness, Jacob was still as cold as ice. He didn''t even look at her at breakfast. This was also the reason why she insisted oning to Elton. Since he didn''t want to see her, she would stay far away from him and let him have a good time! However, she didn''t expect that her ssmates would treat her in this way¡ª¡ªso many people didn''t believe her and even took pleasure in her misfortune. When Era was in a daze, a thin figure ran over to her. It was Allie. She stood in front of Era and said, "don''t talk nonsense. Angie is not the kind of person you''re talking about!" But her voice trailed off in the uproar. Rotten vegetables and eggs flew over. She turned around and hugged Era, crying. "It''s okay, Allie. You can go to ss now." Era pushed her away. She appreciated her kindness, but she didn''t want to get her into trouble. "No, Angie. I will apany you." Cowardly and scared, she was in a total mess on the third day of new school, teased by several boys. Everyone wasughing at and cheering at her. But only Angie came over, pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the stains off her face. She was told that in this world, if you were not brave and strong enough, no one would take the initiative to pity you. You could only make yourself aughing stock of others... Chapter 60 The Disturbance Of Elton (Part Two) Chapter 60 The Disturbance Of Elton (Part Two) In Allie''s eyes, Angie was an angel. What they said was definitely a false usation! "What are you doing here? All of you, go to ss!" She wore her hair in a bun. The director in sses showed up. The students immediately dispersed, leaving behind disheveled Era and Allie. "Angie, you,e with me to the office!" She raised her hand and pointed at Era, saying coldly. She disliked this girl for a long time. The girl didn''t listen to her when she thought she had won the first ce in the exam. She had long said that she was too arrogant! Now, there must be something wrong. Following her silently, Era walked towards the office. They didn''t notice that a tall man was staring coldly at them from the huge ss window on the second floor. Is this the end of kindness and mercy? Jacob sneered. He knew that it could only make people be weak, so he discarded them early. However, when such a thing appeared on his shadow, he had to pay attention to it. That woman must have realized how dark and cruel this world is now. "Jacob, if you want to see Era, leave her in the vi. Why do you have toe here?" Jay pushed the door open and approached the window. When he saw the slender figure downstairs, he couldn''t help teasing him. "Although our Imperial Group is a shareholder of Elton, it''s not convenient for us toe here However... It seems that your efforts are not in vain." "Efforts?" Jacob raised his eyebrows with great interest and looked at Jay seriously. "What did I do to her? You can tell me about it. After I hear it, I''ll consider giving you a reward." "Uh..." Jay''s nerves were numb by Jacob''s insidious tone. He regretted saying something wrong. Before he fell out with him, Jaypromised tactfully, "I am not as fast as you. I surrender." Jacob nced coldly at Jay, and averted Jay''s eyes with a snort of displeasure, "how courteous are you now?" "It seems that it''s not good to have self-knowledge." Jay stretchedzily and protested, "it''s hard to serve you. No wonder that when my sworn sister saw you, she... well! I know I was wrong. I haven''t been happy for three days. I really need to have a rest today. Please don''t do anything to my face. It''s for me to flirt with a girl tonight!" Jay raised his hands and apologized sincerely. "You don''t like to hear it, and I don''t want to humiliate myself. Too much words will make my mouth sore." "Good. Don''t waste time on me." "Bastard! You don''t understand friends at all." Jay defended himself, "I''m just worried that you can''t deal with Era. What will you do if with Joan?" "Is that a problem? Jay, you are been in China for a long time. You are influenced by the secr standard. Your nature has been purified by the expensive Mao-tai wine. I''m afraid that I will feel ufortable when I see the dim light in my eyes." Jay was stunned for a while and then burst intoughter. Jacob was right. They grew up in a world where the weak were the prey of the strong. There they used the principle of jungle. If they wanted to survive, they must choose the best side. If they wanted to get what they wanted, they mustpete fiercely. For Jacob, Era was supposed to be what he wanted, but Joan Qiao was a good choice for him. He knew what he should do. But he forgot that it was not only his problem. "Jacob, don''t forget that Era doesn''t belong to our world." "It''s none of your business, Mommy!" Jacob raised his eyebrows and teased. "Jacob, I''m serious." Suddenly, Jay stopped joking and looked serious. "In the morning, Joan called to ask about your whereabouts, but I prevaricated that I didn''t know where you were going on a business trip, I thought she woulde soon." Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "So what?" Jacob snorted contemptuously and looked out of the window. There was no weak back downstairs. "So what?" Jay raised his voice spontaneously. One is a woman who treats herself as your fiancee, and the other is a woman who lives with you now. What do you think will happen if they meet? Joan Qiao is a woman with strong character. She will tear up Era. Even if you don''t care about her, I care about her. She is my sworn sister." "Got it. I promise your sworn sister will be unharmed." His impatient expression made Jay burst intoughter. "Enough straightforward! That sounds better. Hahaha... " "By the way," Jay stoppedughing and said, "my sister is now about to be hurt. In order to maintain the school reputation, the school has decided to fire her. Well, now, I will give you a chance to save her. In the name of the vice president of the Imperial Group, you can meet with the principal of Elton..." Frowning, Jacob wanted to teach Era a lesson and expulsion from school can make her experience more profound. However, since Joan wasing, things had been changed and it''s better for Era to stay in Elton. What''s more, they shall finish Sam''s case as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows and gave a hint to Jay to lead the way... In the office, Anna smirked deliberately as she saw Era. "Good morning, director." She bowed respectfully and nced at Era, her eyes full of sarcasm and triumph. "Angie," the director lifted her sses and cleared her throat, "in view of your recent performance, and... You have been used of cheating in the exam and we''ve decided to tell you to drop out of school. " "For what?" Era took off her sses and wiped the stain off slowly. Shock and astonishment were written all over her face. But this was not the first time she had been so unlucky. She had learned to deal with it calmly. "Why? Okay, let me tell you." The director suddenly raised her voice, rested her hands on her hips, and said, "Angie, what you did made Elton ashamed. The school just advised you to drop out and didn''t drive you out of Elton directly!" "Excuse me, director, what have I done to disgrace the school?" "What... Well, well, since you are not ashamed, I will not cover it up for you. Don''t think we don''t know why you were taken away by the police. When you were young, you did such dirty things, even hurt people for money! Other than that..." While saying, she threw a pair of documents in front of Era. "Look at these materials. You''re not called Angie at all. Your real name should be Era Xu. You graduated from No.5 Middle School in C City, and your academic performance has always been ordinary and you can barely keep a passing grade. How could you pass the examination with the first ce?" After a series of reproach, she pointed at Anna, who was clever and polite. "You must also know Anna. She and your ssmates know a lot about you. Today, as your ssmate, she wasn''t afraid of offending people, so she stood out with her own conscience and charged at your falsehood and deception. The moral quality of her is much better than yours. Only such students are the pride of Elton, and what you have done can only embarrass Elton!" The reversal of right and wrong made Era angry, she clenched her fists and suppressed her anger. "Director, I object." She took a deep breath before she spoke. She even deliberately slowed down her speed to make her voice sound calm and confident. "First of all, I didn''t do dirty things and hurt someone for money. The police are just investigating, otherwise I won''t stand in front of you. Please don''t jump to conclusion! The second..." Chapter 61 Fear From Her Or Him (Part One) Chapter 61 Fear From Her Or Him (Part One) Era nced at Anna calmly. "It''s not true that I am a substitute. I have exined it clearly when I started the school. Angie was my former name, because I didn''t like the name Era. So I used the name Angie. It''s easy for you to say that I cheated in the exam. As long as you make me do it again, everything will be clear. In any case, Elton is a well-known school and you handle things so hastily, aren''t you afraid that people willugh at you if they know that you fire students just because of hearsay?" Anna couldn''t help suspecting whether the girl with such a sharp tongue was the submissive Era Xu or not. "You..." The director was rendered speechless. But being refuted by a little girl made her look bad. She waved her hand impatiently. "You don''t have to tell me so much. After all, school board has decided to order you to drop out of school immediately. You''d better..." All of a sudden, her phone rang... A ringing phone interrupted her. She cast a nce at Era and picked up the microphone. "Principal..." "What? Why? But..." "Well, okay... Yes..." Then she hung up the phone and turned around, ring at Era. "Elton is a well-known school and is strict with our work. So, the school board decided to give you a chance. You can retake the exam in three days." "Thank you, director. I''ll go get ready." Era said with a smile. Then she cast a meaningful nce at Anna and walked out of office. "Director, I can guarantee with my personality that Era will never get the first ce. Why did she get such a chance?" Anna said with disapproval. Era sneered. Personality? Anna, do you have personality? "Okay, okay. Anna, you can go back first." The director waved her hand wearily. She didn''t know what happened when the top management suddenly changed their mind. ¡ª¡ª£Æ£Í£Ø¡ª¡ª This is an abandoned piano room with a table and chairs. She could study there quietly from the corner. Era was in an embarrassing situation now. She needed to study books. She didn''t dare to go to the library. Their contempt for her would make her lose her courage and confidence. However, she didn''t dare to go back to the apartment. Because she didn''t know what Jacob would do to her. Last night, he seemed to be very angry She had to find this ce. The environment here was quite good. She looked out of the window at the banana trees which looked extremely thick but no management. "Baby, Mommy is going to learn. Let''s work together!" She said softly, with one hand on her lower abdomen. Then she opened the book with a smile. As a matter of fact, she could stay in Elton for a couple of months. When her belly bulged, she had to stop school. However, she couldn''t leave here in disgrace, she couldn''t let her child have a timid and ipetent mother. In this way, she sat quietly in front of the window, letting time pass by little by little at the tip of her pen... A strand of hair fell on her forehead. She was in no mood to tuck it up and just let it y with the wind. However, her entire body became more and more tranquil in the breeze... "Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit." That was the only thought in Jacob''s mind when he looked at her through the window. She''s such a fickle woman. Every time she has a new look on her face. In addition to surprise, he also felt the feelings of expectation and missing in his spare time... He still have the same feeling though he was irritatedst night. Thinking carefully, in fact, what made him most angry was not her disobedience, but that after she disobeyed him, she turned to call Jay brother, and she was still so intimate in front of him! He was angry because she was fickle in love and could be so close to every man. Never had he been so possessive of her. She was his. Before he got tired of her, she was only his ything. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. "Jacob, it''s almost 12 o''clock. How about asking Era to have dinner together?" Jay slowly walked to Jacob and looked at his watch. Jacob just gave him a cold nce and strode out his long legs, saying, "let''s go." He wanted her, but that didn''t mean he would show his kindness to her. "Hey, you''re so heartless. Women need love and care. Why do you always pull a long face? Who will like you?" Jay hurried to catch up with him and spoke to him with sobs. "They said that Era wasing in this direction. Where is she?" On the path, Anna looked around. A man''s voice came from the opposite suddenly. Then she saw a tall and straight figure walking towards her. It was him! She was shocked. It was the man who appeared in Cachino with Era. There was no expression on his handsome face, and his face was as cold as before. His features were like three-dimensional knife designs, bronze and attractive skin. Like a statue of Greece, his dark and deep ice eyes, his marble engraved nose and tightly closed lips, with a natural aura of majesty. Her heart began to race. She had fallen in love with him already. "Hey, Jacob, wait for me." A tall and handsome man ran after him, attracting everyone''s attention. As they passed by like the wind, they didn''t even take a look at her. She couldn''t help but bite her lip. She''s upset. Can''t shepare with Era in appearance and figure? Were they blind? She turned around and followed them. She didn''t believe that she wouldn''t have any chance to get close to these two men. While she was thinking about what kind of encounter she woulde across, Anna suddenly stopped at a turning. She saw a luxurymercial vehicle parked on the road ahead. The people who stood beside the car were the headmaster and the director of Elton. "Mr. Lin, Mr. Huangfu, you must havee a long way. We don''t have anything special to wee you. Please have a meal." The headmaster of Elton was a bald man in his fifties. When he saw them coming, he weed them and said politely. "No, thanks." He refused coldly and opened the car door. "We have something else to do. Principal Li, please don''t bother." The headmaster broke out in a cold sweat. Jay eased the atmosphere. He tried to give the headmaster a way out. "Oh, okay, okay. Mr. Huangfu, Mr. Lin, good-bye..." The door was closed with a bang and the car drove away. Principal Li wiped the sweat off his forehead... His mind was still fluttering with fear when he remembered Jacob''s eyes. "Principal, how about... How about Angie?" The director adjusted her sses and said in a trembling voice. "What should we do? No matter whether she was telling the truth or not, we must let her pass the test with high marks. Where''s Angie? I want to see her now." "Yes, I''ll go now!" After the director and the principal walked away, Anna slowly walked out from an angel statue. She didn''t expect that, after Era was dumped by Brooks, Era met another man who even the principal and the director of Elton were afraid in front of him. Let Era pass the test with high marks? No, she would never let that happen. Never! But what should she do? She slightly narrowed her eyes. The principal was on Era''s side now. Since she couldn''t pick a fight with the school leaders in public, she could start with Era. It was easy to deal with her anyway! Chapter 62 Fear From Her Or Him (Part Two) Chapter 62 Fear From Her Or Him (Part Two) "Era Ling, I didn''t expect you to be so shameless. Being insulted harshly, Anna approached Era step by step. Her words sounded aggressive. She didn''t think she was hiding here, and they could find it. Era smiled bitterly in her heart. She nced at the two girls who were well-dressed. She knew them. They were in the next ss. It was said that they made friends with Anna. "What do you want to do? I''m sorry. I have no time." After saying that coldly, Era focused her eyes on her book again. "Stop your hypocrisy! You disgust me!" Anna threw the book away and looked down at her contemptuously. "Didn''t the man you hook up with have arranged everything for you? Why are you still pretending to be very hardworking? Are you kidding me?" As soon as she finished saying that, she took a nce at the documents piling up on her desk, making the thick papers fly in the air like snowkes. "Anna! I don''t know what you are talking about? I don''t want to know. Now, please go out!" Era frowned and regretted interceding with Jacob for her. She wondered why she hated her. ''She robbed me. I should hate her if I want to'', Era thought. "Ha ha, I will leave, but only after covering your mouth." Said Anna with a gloomy smile. Era suddenly became vignt. "What do you want?" "What am I doing? You''ll know it soon." She took a rope out of her bag and said to the girls beside her, "you, catch her." "Anna, you can''t do that." Era shocked and hurriedly backed off. She knew that Anna could do anything, and pleading wouldn''t work on her. She pinned her hope on those two girls. "Don''t listen to her. It''s illegal... There was no conflict between us..." "Illegal? Hahaha... We are so scared..." "Who says we haven''t had a grudge? We hate such a hypocritical elite student like you the most all our lives!" As they spoke, they had already tightly grasped Era''s arms, and the grin on their faces was as ferocious as Anna. They were the same sort of people as Anna, so they didn''t care about that... In this way, Anna tied up Era''s hands and feet, and took out a wide tape to cover her mouth. "You just stay here. I''ll get you out when it''s dark. As long as the school announce that you give up the examination, I''ll let you out." After saying that, the three of them walked out of the house. With a click, the door was locked from the outside. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. He looked for the key in her hand and said to Era, "have a reflection in it." "Uh... Uh..." Era struggled. However, the three had already gone. Looking at the cloudy sky outside the window, Era cursed, it seems to rain again today. Recently, how could she be so unlucky and things were not going well? Had she already stepped into the lowest point in her life? It was getting darker and darker. A rumbling sound of thunder came from afar. At the vi on the outskirts of the city. Era hadn''te back yet! Jacob looked out of the window at the lightning and frowned. Idiot! Wasn''t she most afraid of lightning? Why didn''t shee back before thunder? "Jacob, has Erae back?" Jay opened the door with a bottle of red wine and two crystal sses. "Yes." Jacob was just looking out of the window carelessly. "It doesn''t matter. Maybe she is hiding somewhere to take shelter from the rain. Era is so smart. She won''t let her get wet. Hey... Hey... Where are you going?" "She is afraid of lightning..." Jacob continued as he ran downstairs. Behind him, Jay looked at his back and sighed, "Jacob, you''re a fool. When did you notice such trifles of women? You said that she was not a problem, but she is your big problem!" When Jacob arrived at Era''s apartment, he found it was pitch dark without the light on. Obviously, she hadn''te back yet. He called Era, only to find that her phone was turned off. In a fit of anger, he smashed his phone. He then hurried to Elton, only to find that the students had left the campus. Was the stupid woman so serious that the rain blocked her in the old piano room? He hurried to the piano room, only to find that the door had been locked, and there was no figure inside. The thunders still echoed in his ears. Where did the fool go? Jacob impatiently ripped off his wet cor. He decided to find that idiot and teach her a lesson. "Bro, how could someone be in such an old house? Did we fall into that woman''s trap?" "Well, here we are. Just open it." "Yes, you are right." In the tter of the rain, suddenly there''s a conversation between two men, and it was getting closer and closer. Someone is inside? Jacob turned around and ran to the porch column. Just then, the men took out the keys and unlocked the door. The shlight shone brightly in the room, then¡ª¡ª "There is really someone here!" "What a beautiful woman!" "I think it''s a bad idea to take her out." "How about we have fun first?" "Ah..." As soon as the tape was torn open, Era screamed in a sharp voice, because there happened to be a loud p of thunder above her head! "Hahaha..." The man put on a lewd smile and said, "I haven''t kissed you yet. What are you screaming about?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand... But he felt a sharp pain when he was about to reach out his hand. "Ouch! It hurts!" He howled while looking at his hand. "Who hit me?" After saying that, he felt a sharp pain in his mouth and cried even more miserably. But now he saw clearly that there was no one beside him except hispanion. "Boss, why did you hit me?" "No, I didn''t..." When the man, the so-called boss, was about to defend himself, he felt that he had been pped hard in the face. His teeth have been knocked out, so his anger was all on his brother. "I said I didn''t hit you. You bastard! How dare you attack me for a woman!" "No, I didn''t. You started it. Ah! Damn it! How dare you hit me again!" The short man couldn''t stand it anymore. Two people started fighting. A strapping figure appeared in front of her. He''s like a ghost. Although Era couldn''t see him clearly, she was sure that he was Jacob! Her shocked and almost broken heart slowly came back to life... "You ask for it!" He said in an icy cold tone, and with a weapon in his hand, he pointed it at the two men who had juste to themselves. They bowed their heads and begged for mercy. "Uh... Boss, please spare our lives. We are also employed... We will never do it again..." A sh of lightning reflected all this into Era''s frightened eyes. "No!" Her hands and feet were still tied up, so she could only stare at him. "Jacob, don''t kill people!" She hated blood. She hated people falling in a pool of blood in front of her. Especially after she was pregnant... "Woman! Don''t forget that you are a victim. Being too kind will only destroy yourself! ."quot£» "But they don''t deserve to die. At the worst, I can make an appeal and ask the police to deal with this matter. They deserve it. Besides, it''s the school. Killing in here isn''t a good idea." Era held back the fear in her heart and lowered her voice, full of plea. This woman was so stupid! After being calcted again and again, she still held her merciful and kind heart! There was a faint me went into Jacob''s eyes¡ª¡ª "Can''t you learn it?" "Even if... "For our baby, please stop killing, okay?" Era''s gentle and cold eyes softened. However, she only to say these words in her heart¡ª¡ª "I owe you one more time. Can you let them go?" Her lips were almost bitten by the teeth, and her voice was softer and softer, "Jacob..." Her soft voice was like the spring dew which was dripping on Jacob''s heart, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away. He wore a kind of tenderness that he didn''t even realize, and even his thin lips were now full of tenderness. "Do you really want to let them go?" Jacob sighed and asked in a low voice. He found that no matter how angry he was in front of Era, all his anger would disappear in her eyes which were full of excitement. Era cast a nce at those two men and nodded. Jacob lowered his eyes and thought for a while. Then he said, "Okay, I promise you. But they have to be punished, even if the death penalty can be avoided!" Era stared at Jacob without blinking, feeling strange. She didn''t know whether she should be happy or worried for them. But she didn''t have time to think about that anymore. Jacob leaned down and untied her. She was upset by his familiar and pleasant smell... The two men were tied up and shut up. Jacob put his arm around her trembling shoulder and walked outside, locking the heavy door with a lock. Tomorrow, he would have these two scumbags sold to Africa for hard work! As for the woman behind the scenes, he had promised her that he would never interfere in it again... However, he looked at Era coldly. Would she still insist on her damned kindness this time? In a twinkling, the rain continued to pour and both of them ran out of the campus hand in hand. The school gate was closed. He looked back and smiled at her. "Can you climb over the wall?" Chapter 63 Let Her Go Or Let Her Wither (Part One) Chapter 63 Let Her Go Or Let Her Wither (Part One) Era nodded. He held her to the wall and then jumped over. He turned to her and held out his arms. "Come on, don''t be afraid." He stared at her with his deep eyes as if she was his treasure. Not knowing why, Era shivered and slipped, falling into his strong arms. He didn''t say anything. He just reached out his hand and took her into the car. When he released her hands, she was somewhat loath to leave... She sat in the car silently and looked at her hand. Her little face was nk without any expression. But in her mind, there were all kinds of feelings. At that moment, she even thought of the saying, "hold your hand and age with you". She was really mad! How could she wish to spend the rest of her life with him. What''s the difference between that and dreaming? She was afraid that step by step she would fall into the trap that he set, and never be able to get rid of it... She was scared, more frightened than she was scared by the lightning and the two rogues. She was scared, she was really scared. She loved him, and then would be doomed! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. She felt a chill from the bottom of her heart, she held her shoulder. "Are you okay?" Jacob turned around and asked. "Nothing..." Era shook her head woodenly with wet hair and ironed on her face. Her ck eyes were like a frightened bird, looking rather restless and unsettling, making her look very delicate and lovely. Then he threw the coat with his breath over her head. "Put it on." Jacob ordered in a cool voice. "Thank you." After pausing for a long while, Era came to herself and put the clothes on her shoulders, let his breath encircle again. In fact, she liked his smell very much, which could always make her feel at ease... Is she really infatuated with him? Thinking of this, Era suddenly felt a trace of despair and slowly closed her eyes. Her delicate body shook even more. Squinting at her, Jacob was filled with a strange emotion. "Damn it!" He muttered and held her into his arms. He didn''t want to see her being so pathetic! Comfortingly, he kissed her smooth forehead and nose, but her smell made him addicted. Soon, his kisses fell on her forehead, cheeks, lips... His big hands started to swim all over her body, and his breath became faster and faster. Era''s eyes suddenly reddened. Somehow, she wanted to cry. No one really cared about her. He saved her again and again only because of her body. She was so longing for that moment. He didn''t want to do that with her any more. He just wanted to worry about her safety and care about her mood! But he didn''t. All she had in her life was schemes, frame, use... No love, no warmth... Disappointment and anger eventually turned into deep despair. That grey emotion surged towards Era like waves. She couldn''t control herself, she pushed him away, opened the car door and ran into the rain. "Are you crazy?" Jacob followed her off the car, strode towards her and roared at her ears. "Yes, I am crazy! I am totally a maniac! Just leave me alone." The heavy rain blocked her sight, but she didn''t care. Giving him a hard look, she ran forward stubbornly. "Era!" He was provoked by her willfulness, stepping forward a few steps and grabbing her wrist rudely. "Let me go!" Struggle to get rid of him. Era turned back and shout at him. "I don''t want to go back. You save me, but you don''t really worry about me! I hate you!" "I''m not interested in a mad woman, so you can go back now!" He furrowed his eyebrows. He didn''t understand why he had tofort a capricious woman in the rain! Looking at him, her heart trembled, her nose twitched and her eyes turned red... "You admitted it, woo woo..." He was really only interested in her. But he said it so ruthlessly. This made her feel even worse! The man who had nned to continue to be mean to her, was stunned. Looking at her crying regardless of her image, he felt as if something had strangled his throat. "You... Ahem!" Jacob cleared his throat. "Don''t cry... I didn''t admit anything." "You admitted it!" She used him. "I''m just saying I''m not interested in a crazy woman..." Damn it, he hated her tears. Jacob took a deep breath and cursed. "Do we have to talk about this damn thing in the heavy rain?" "No, you can get back to the car now." After giving him a hard look, Era walked away from the car. She would rather walk in the rain than take his car. Jacob frowned tightly and his eyes darkened. He couldn''t stand it anymore. He drove madly to 120 miles per hour to find her, but he didn''t expect this. Why does he have to tolerate this stupid woman again and again? If she''s willing to get wet, he''ll make her. When he was about to turn around, he saw a fast-moving car suddenly rushing out from the corner and crashing into her, who was running crazily. "Watch out!" Without thinking too much, he held her in his arms and rolled away. Ssh! The car passed them and sshed water on them. "Do you want to die?" He pulled her up and roared. Era, who had been awakened by his roar from extreme horror, shook off his hand reflectively. "I didn''t ask you to save me!" Then she walked on. She knew he saved her again and she owed him one more time. She would repay him! But now she was heartbroken and she didn''t want to hear him shouting. "Stop!" Roar again. "Come back! " As if not hearing, Era continued her steps. "Damn it!" He said rudely. This girl really had the ability to drive him mad! Without hesitation, he caught up with her and carried her on his shoulder like a sack with a wave of his iron arm. "What are you doing? Put me down. I don''t want to go back with you!" Era struggled with her hands and feet. "Don''t challenge my limits again!" He pped hard on her buttocks, and strode back to the car and put her in it. Then he slipped into the driver''s seat and started the car, ignoring Era''s unreasonable words! "Ah... Sneeze..." Era sneezed. Seeing that, Jacob frowned and pretended to be impatient. The next moment, he turned the steering wheel sharply and the car left ap of water on the wet road of the pond. Soon, they arrived at her apartment. "The key." Standing in front of the apartment''s door and looking at Era who was still trembling, Jacob frowned even more deeply. Not in the mood to talk, Era pointed at the flowerpot by the door. ''This woman has no sense of safety! How dare she put the key here alone?'' he thought. Giving her a hostile re, Jacob bent down and took out the key to open the door. After returning to the apartment, she took a hot shower and found that she had calmed down a lot. She came out in her knee length pajamas, with her hair hanging around her shoulders casually. Her face was a little pale. Seeing that, Jacob actually had an impulse to hold her tightly... She sat by his side obediently and looked up at him. Her eyes had returned to calm with a hint of alienation. "Thank you for saving me again. Sorry, I was just too impulsive." She didn''t know why she was so obstinate. Since her mother died, she had never been so obstinate, because no matter how obstinate she was, no one would care about it... Chapter 64 Let Her Go Or Let Her Wither (Part Two) Chapter 64 Let Her Go Or Let Her Wither (Part Two) He said nothing and just squinted at her coldly. Did he break the rules for this woman many times? His eyes were so deep and unfathomable that Era swallowed nervously. She looked away and found that he was still wet from head to toe. "You can take a shower now. There are your clothes in the wardrobe." When he heard that, he looked away and walked towards the bathroom. He pursed his lips tightly and frowned. Era guessed that he was still angry with her. All of a sudden, he took a bath in the bathroom and Era sat in the living room, restless. That night, Jacob kept silent. They slept in the same bed, but he did not touch her. When he fell asleep, Era stared at his angelic sleeping face, being amazed and struggling for a long time... Does he want to prove to her that he didn''t save her out of sexual need? Would she be so optimistic? Her sleepiness gradually blurred her eyes and she fell asleep. Unexpectedly, she had a sweet dream at this rainy night. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Era woke up with a smile. She dreamed of her mother. They were lying on the big bed, and her mother hugged her tenderly, like every day before... Then, she tickled her mother mischievously, her mother pretended to be angry and spanked her butt. "Haha... Mom..." She held her mother''s neck and snuggled her head in mother''s arms. But, wait! Her mother''s hug was not as soft as she had expected, and she felt it was hard... What she saw was an attractive bronze color. His brain was in a total chaos! "What?" She screamed and pushed away the obvious male body in front of her. She leaned back in panic. Awakened by her earth shaking cry, Jacob was very sleepy and saw her petite body hanging up to the bedside. "Watch out!" He reached out his hand instinctively, but it was toote. Then a loud bang was heard and Era fell down to the ground. In a hurry, she stood up and saw that Jacob was staring at her with a bright smile. "Idiot!" He saidzily. At this time, his ck hair was in a mess, and a few of the lock of hair was mischievous and fell on his forehead, covering his offensive. He looked veryzy in the morning micro light. Era''s heart skipped a beat again. What a loser! She clenched her thighs and came back to her senses from his embrace. Then she remembered what happenedst night. She turned around and walked into the bathroom. She stood against the door for a long time before she started washing her face. When she came out, there was already a shallow smile on her face. She firmly believed that even though her life had be a nightmare, it was a dream, and one day she would wake up! This time, Era didn''t retaliate Anna directly. She knew that the best revenge for Anna was to pass the exam two dayster... "What?" From a corner of Elton, Anna shouted angrily over the phone, "didn''t those two people take Era to the designated ce, and they disappeared for no reason? What''s going on?" "All right, all right! Maybe the two scoundrels are ungrateful because they have seen his lust. I''m going to see if Era is at school. Keep in touch with those two rascals..." Did that woman run away again? Anna furrowed her brows and hung up the phone. She walked towards the ssroom, thinking about what she should do next. First, she could never admit that she had kidnapped her, and she could tell them that Era had retaliated against her. But what about the exam two dayster? She tried so hard to drive her out of the Xu family, but she still didn''t want to see her every day. By the way! The school wanted to bend thew for Era. She just needs to spread the news. At that time, all the directors would be focused on her. She didn''t believe that the board of directors would dare to do something again. She believed that Era was absolutely unable to take the first ce! Well, that''s it! A sinister smile crept onto Anna''s face. Two days passed quickly. In these two days, Era spent most of her time reading in her small apartment. Jacob didn''t bother her. He just nced at her thoughtfully from time to time, which disturbed her. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. In Elton, the news that the school is going to help Era to cheat has exploded among the students. The school was forced to give in due to the numerous cries of scolding. The examination paper was taken out randomly, and all the process of Era''s exam and review was live broadcast... Anna is very proud. Era didn''t care about it at all. This day, she arrived at the school an hour in advance and made an appointment with Anna at the top of the building. "Well, I didn''t expect that you would still dare toe here." When Anna spoke, she spoke in an arrogant and overbearing manner. "Why not?" Era smiled ndly, "I asked you out. I just want to ask you a question." "A question? Do you want to beg for mercy? If you give up now and sneak out from the back door, you might not lose face..." "I just want to ask you, you bully me again and again. Don''t I feel guilty? Era suddenly interrupted her. She spoke in a low voice, but there was an aura that could not be ignored. "Guilty?" Anna smiled insolently. There was not a trace of guilt in her eyes. "Why should I feel guilty? Both as the daughter of Xu family, you have been spoiled by thousands of people since you were a little girl. But what about me? I was wandering on the street, easily bullied. Today, what is your grievance? You are nothing to mepared with what I suffered at that time! I''m telling you, it''s you who should feel guilty!" She... How unreasonable she was! Era tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. "Haven''t I already left the Xu family? Why are you still unwilling to let me go?" "How can you me me for this?" Anna entuated her tone. "I just drove you out of Xu family. I don''t want to see you every day. Why are you here?" "You..." Era was so angry that sheughed. She couldn''t help reminding her, "Anna, don''t forget that who came to Elton first." "So what? Don''t forget that you have been living in Xu family for more than ten years. I kicked you out as well, haven''t I? And so do Elton. I have a lot of ways to get you out of here!" "Kidnapping, frame, spreading rumors... Are these all your ways?" "I don''t care. As long as you can get rid of Elton, it''s a good way!" Looking at Anna''s arrogant faces, Era knew that it was pointless to continue the conversation. "I think I will let you down this time." She said coldly. Then she turned around and walked to the stairs. "Remember, wherever there is me, there is no ce for you!" Anna shouted at her back. Not giving a damn, Era picked up the corners of her mouth, slowly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and turned off the recording button. Allie walked towards her. "Angie,e on. I believe you will be fine." "Of course." She raised her eyebrows smugly and swept away the haze just now. The exam was very strict. There were tens of thousands of eyes outside the examination room, and there was only one person, Era, in the exam room. All she heard was swiping and answering questions. At this moment, in Jay''s suburban vi, Jacob was holding a cup of milk freette leisurely. He nced at the openptop screen in front of him from time to time. The girl who answered calmly in the screen was Era. At this moment, she seemed a little tired after finishing three pieces of examination paper. She put down the pen, shook her head, then looked up, her eyes seem to be on the camera. She smiled, and aimed at the camera in a circle... The twinkle and cunning behind the ck frame sses made Jacob''s hand which was holding the coffee cup hesitate for a moment, and a trace of smile appeared in his cold eyes. Only she would do such a cute thing under such a high pressure. Didn''t this stupid woman know that this was a full school live broadcast? "She is my sworn sister. She is attractive and elegant. No need to frown when she''s writing." Jay was standing behind him quietly. "I didn''t know you would make poems." Said Jacob, shooting a cold nce at him. Jay just stared at the screen of theputer. After a moment, he seemed to inadvertently whisper, "my sworn sister looked simple, but actually her world is moreplicated than anyone else. If we don''t get into her world to understand, it''s really difficult to guess her mind..." Enter her world and guess her mind... Hearing that, Jacob squinted and raised his hand to drink the coffee. "s!" Jay suddenly let out a sigh and Jacob turned around to look at him. "I''m sighing for you. She couldn''t share a man with another woman, and Joan definitely wouldn''t allow that to happen. Are you sure that they can be together?" "You are getting Mommy again." Jacob said coldly. Jay was right, but since it was a problem, it could be solved. He didn''t think there was anything in the world that could make him suffer. "I think it''s better to let her go when your rtionship is not very stable yet. Then all problems were solved." When Jacob looked out of the window, he snorted contemptuously and said, "have you ever seen me give up the thing I want?" "It''smon for us to have a first experience. Besides, Era is not ''thing''. You can force her to stay with you, but the helpless flower will wither soon." "Don''t impose your rules on me. I will only get what I want in my way." Finally, Jacob was irritated by him. He said in a cold tone and his eyes which looked out of the window also became gloomy. He would never let her go! Unless he was tired of it! But, will it wither her? He also seemed reluctant... Chapter 65 Game (Part One) Chapter 65 Game (Part One) In the test room of Elton. "Okay!" After that, Era breathed a sigh of relief, handed the paper to the supervisor, and turned around to walk out of the ssroom. She needed some fresh air. While waiting for the answers of the first few subjects, the tasks were finished simultaneously, with a nearly full score. Now there was only onest driving test left, and it should be easy for her to pass the test. Now she was a little hesitant. Should she record this video and broadcast it in the whole school? If so, it will definitely destroy Anna''s foothold in Elton, and her hatred of her will be even stronger! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Sitting on the empty stairs, she subconsciously pressed the recording button and repeated listening. Anna''s shrill voice was ringing in her ears all the time¡ª¡ª "Remember, wherever there is me, there is no ce for you!" She couldn''t forgive her! Kidnapping, ckmailing. This punishment was simply too slight for her! Even for her own peace, she can''t let her stay in Elton. As soon as she made up her mind, she suddenly stood up and a ck shadow had covered her eyes. "Era, I didn''t expect you to be such a despicable person to y such a trick on me!" With a ferocious look on her face, Anna pounced on her and grabbed her cell phone. Era jumped up to dodge her. However, Anna had gone mad. How could she let her go so easily? She pounced on her again. When Era''s performance on the big screen was shown on the screen one by one, all her ssmates, who were instigated by her to fight against Era, shook their heads and left. Their trust and affection for her had been reced by indifference and disdain! She didn''t believe that Era could get such a good result. She was not willing to give up! She went to find the director, but the director told her not to make trouble again! They were all crazy! They were all bewitched by Era! Therefore, she wanted to find out Era, and force her to tell the truth. She looked around and happened to hear the recording on the top of the building. Era was a dark and despicable woman! She won''t let her go. As she thought of this, she grabbed Era''s hair. "Give me your phone! Now!" "No way!" As Era put the phone behind her back, she tried to get rid of her grip. "Bitch! Give it to me!" Although Anna was younger than Era, she was stronger than Era. She pulled over Era''s arm with the advantage of her body. They just fought with each other on the stairs. When they were pulled, there was a sound of pping. The phone fell to the ground, just to the bottom of the stairs¡ª¡ªnext to a pair of shiny ck leather shoes. "Director... Director..." Anna let Era go right away. The director cast a nce at them and picked up the phone. She checked the surface carefully and made sure it was okay. At the moment, she heard the conversation between them¡ª¡ª "Well, I didn''t expect that you would still dare toe here." "Kidnapping, frame, spreading rumors... Are these all your ways?" "I don''t care. As long as I can get you out of Elton, I will do anything!" "Anna!" The director''s thick sses were shining with terrifying coldness. Anna shivered, "director... Director, she set me up on purpose... She..." "All the evidences are irrefutable. Come with me to my office!" Era sighed and thought, ''that''s fine!'' To save Elton''s reputation, the school didn''t reveal the recording. However, it ended with Era''s victory. Era was still the pride of Elton with a halo of mysterious light. However, Anna hadn''t been expelled. As a result of Brooks, Elton reluctantly gave her a stay in school to observe the pending punishment. That afternoon, Brooks came to look for Era. In the quiet coffee shop, he looked at her for a long time and sighed, "Era, don''t go against Anna, it''s not good for you." "Brooks, I think you should leave these words to your dear Anna," said Era with a sneer. However, as time went by, she found her heart would get callus. Gradually, she could no longer feel pain! "Era..." He sighed, and said hesitantly, "you''ll understandter. The most important thing for you now is to protect yourself. Are you still with Jacob?" Era didn''t understand why he was interfering with her! She didn''t want to answer, and her phone rang. In a hurry, she took out her cellphone and pressed the answer key... "Where are you?" A cold and deep voice came from the other end. She was suddenly stunned and quickly said the name of the coffee shop. "Wait for me there." Then he hung up the phone. "Era, I''m for your own good. Don''t be willful. He''s not the right man for you. He''s cruel, cold and bloodthirsty..." Brooks continued to persuade her earnestly. Since Era was absent-minded, she must not let Jacob see Brooks. She had to persuade Brooks to leave as soon as possible. A few minutester, she could not bear atst to stop Brooks from going on. "Brooks, let''s talk about it later. I have something else to do..." "Are you going to meet Jacob? Did he just call you?" Her words were interrupted by a series of questions from Brooks¡ª¡ª "He is too dangerous. Get out of him!" "Sorry, I..." "Wow, that man is so cool. He is looking at us." "Really? So handsome... Check if my hair is messy and if my makeup is ruined." "He''s looking at me again..." Era suddenly heard the whispers of several young girls at the next table. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked out of the window with her eyes wide open¡ª¡ª A tall and handsome man was standing in front of a luxurious sports car. With the mature, steady, cold and straight figure, he attracted the attention of the women passing by. Wearing a ck suit, he looks like a leisurely leopard. The handsome face of the mixed blood, the closer you get, the more attracted you will be. He yed with the wide screen and waited quietly. He asionally nced at the coffee shop, with an aggressive aura around him... Jacob! Era''s heart raced. She turned around, stood up and urged Brooks, "I have something to do, so I''m leaving. You should leave now. Bye..." "Era..." Through the ss window, he saw his little princess running happily to the tall man''s side, full of smile. Did he really lose her like this? Then what did he do all this for? Brooks sighed, depressed and confused. "Jacob, why don''t you call me?" Era approached him and looked at his cold eyes with timidity. "Get in the car." He nced at the coffee shop again. Then, he reached out for her bag and opened the door. ''Is he angry?'' she thought as she slipped into the car. Looking at his charming side face, she couldn''t figure out what he was thinking, and didn''t know what to say. "Your case is clear now. That scum Sam is in jail." He nced at her with his dark eyes like the sounds of night. Was he here to tell her the good news? Era raised her head and stared at him. A broad smile spread across her face. All of a sudden, her soft hand held his strong arm. "Thank you!" She said. She blushed a little and leaned over to kiss him softly on the cheek. Thank him for not ending that scumbag''s life in his own way and causing him to be punished by the law, thank him for giving her enough space and time in these days to prepare for the heavy test wholeheartedly, thank him for not interfering in the matter between her and Anna and let her deal with it by herself, thank him for not punishing Brooks. Chapter 66 Game (Part Two) Chapter 66 Game (Part Two) She was worried to death just now! She knew, as an aloof man, it was not easy to get a little change, so she thanked him... After kissing her, she didn''t wait for his response and hastily took a step back. Jacob''s tall body stiffened for a moment, and the fragrance of his cheeks filled the tip of his nose. At the moment when she withdrew, he wore a faint smile in his thin lips. Just now, at the moment of seeing her and Brooks sitting in the coffee shop, he even had the impulse to blow up the coffee shop. But his anger was easily appeased by a kiss. Even he didn''t understand how he became so contented. Maybe it''s because he''s in a good mood today, he exined to himself. "Do you really want to thank me?" Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Era with mockery in his eyes. "Yes..." In the sunlight, the evil and attractive appearance of the young man winked slightly. "Then you can invite me to dinner." "Uh..." Is he kidding? Era opened his mouth in astonishment. "Well, are you unwilling?" "No... I didn''t bring much money." The money she brought was only enough for them to eat at some roadside stands. "Well, it''s on you. I''ll pay!" Oh, my God! Is... Is he really Jacob? Era was shocked this time! It was still early, so they wandered for a while. All of a sudden, Allie called Era. She asked her to go to the Deep Sea Bar and held a celebration party for her. Era looked at Jacob with hesitation. Allie smiled and asked, "are you with him? Let hime together. Okay, that''s it. Come on! We''ll wait for you!" She then hung up the phone. "Hey... "Era stared at the phone speechlessly. Since when did Allie be so impatient? "Well..." Era looked at Jacob, he was driving carefully, "my ssmate asked me to go to the Deep Sea Bar. Is that okay?" Although he was in a good mood today, she thought it better to be euphemistic. "You want to go?" He turned his head and nced at her. "Yeah, Allie is my best friend." Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. He didn''t say anything else, but a trace of displeasure appeared between his eyebrows. Era only saw his grim profile. "Only by entering her world can we guess what she is thinking about..." Jay''s voice suddenly rang in her ears. At the fork road, Jacob turned around quietly. ''It seems that I have to disappoint Allie''s expectation. How to tell Allie? She looked out of the window and saw the car take a turn. What? They were heading to the Deep Sea Bar. This man was really in a good mood today! Whatever. She didn''t force him anyway. However, to her surprise, when they arrived at the bar gate, he also got off the car. "Hey, you..." Was he going with her? She didn''t think he would be interested in this kind of party. "Can''t I go there?" His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Of course you can... Hahaha..." When they were talking, Allie, who had been waiting at the entrance of the bar, walked up to them happily. "We''ll be waiting for you soon." After the long corridor, the door of the room was opened, and many people were already sitting inside. They swept through the crowd and Era was shocked, Jacob frowned slightly. "Hi, Angie. Why are you sote?" "Take off your sses and be a beauty!" "Wow, how handsome your boyfriend is! Introduce him to us quickly..." "He he. His name is Jacob..." Era gave a wry smile and nced at Brooks and Anna sitting at the corner. Full of questions towards Allie standing next to her. "It''s better to make friends than to make enemies. Besides, Anna''s handsome boyfriend apologized sincerely. Don''t be so narrow-minded." Allie said to her in a low voice. This girl was actually fooled by his good look! Era gave her a disdainful look. "You don''t mean you don''t wee us, do you?" said Anna, smiling as she held Brooks''s arm possessively. "Please trust me. I was just curious about how you could improve your grades so fast. I just casually said. Don''t be angry. Don''t be so mean." Said Anna in a coquettish tone. Her words sounded like she was hiding a secret. If Era really ignores her, she will be mean. "That''s right, Era. You know Anna. She is a careless girl. She always talks without a point. Don''t be mad at her." Brooks''s words gave her a dead end. At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Era. Era cast a cold nce at the couple who were making out. Seeing their intimacy, Era held Jacob''s arm tightly. With a faint smile, she added in a purposeful tone, "of course, how can I make a fuss with someone who does not mean it. All I can do is to offend people with a devil heart." Noticing that the pretty girl held his arm tightly, Jacob''s eyes got cold because he thought, ''why does she still care about that man?'' Almost without thinking, he wrapped his arms around Era''s waist and sat on the seat as if there was no one else. Brooks''s eyes darkened. The others didn''t talk, and the atmosphere was a bit weird... Before Allie could reach the desk, she stood up and said, "Angie, these two are our seniors, Ethan Liang and Jasper Han." "Yes." Era immediately nodded, afraid that she would go on talking. In fact, she saw Ethan the moment she entered the room. She also noticed that there was a touch of loss in his eyes when he saw Jacob. "They are both our ssmates and adore you very much. You may not know their names." "Selina Qiu." "Amy You!" "Hello." Era nodded and smiled. She didn''t know when Allie had so many friends. "Nice to meet you. I''ve heard your name for a long time. You are really impressive." The boy named Jasper Han stretched out his hand kindly and looked at her, Jacob and Ethan. He thought, ''this time, Ethan, who has always been invincible to girls, really gets frustrated.'' "Of course you should look up. In your eyes, equation is something from Mars, English word is the disaster of the universe. Hum, you are just a reckless man who only knows how to y football..." "Hey, honey, don''t embarrass me in front of so many people." Jasper Han covered Selina Qiu''s mouth. "Haha..." Everyone was amused by his words. They are a couple. "But, to be honest, Angie. How could you solve thest question of math? That question is too difficult." "It''s not that the question is too difficult, it''s that your IQ is low." "Jasper!" Seeing them talking andughing without scruple, Era smiled and thought that she hadn''t been so rxed for a long time. Then, she picked up a te of fruit and hided in Jacob''s arms, watching the drama! The fruits were soon finished. Seeing this, Jacob took the fruits from his te and handed them to her lips. Era was shocked. Jacob rubbed her soft hair on her forehead and gave an order overbearingly, "ah! Open your mouth!" Then he put it in... She almost bit his finger. Thinking of the impure experience at night, Era blushed all of a sudden. On the other side, Anna said gently, "Brooks, don''t drink too much. You have a stomachache!" Then, Anna gave an indignant nce at Era. This woman was really good at stealing the show! Tonight, thanks to her, for the first time, she had the feeling of beingpletely ignored. In particr, every time when she nced at Jacob intentionally, she saw that he paid all his attention on Era but turned a blind eye to her. In this case, Anna was so angry that she almost crumbed the wine ss in her hand. Unwilling to be left out like this, she suggested on a whim, "it''s so boring! Let''s y a game! Truth or dare!" "Great!" Jasper Han, Selina Qiu and Amy You echoed excitedly. Allie winked, "okay. I yed it before. It was interesting." It was her party, she would not let the crowd down. "Enjoy yourself. I''ll be right here." Now there were only two handsome men, Brooks and Jacob, who didn''t express their opinions. What''s the fun of them not participating in the game! "Brooks..." Anna said as she swung Brooks''s arm. Brooks looked at Era, nodded and sighed dotingly. "Okay, but don''t too excessive!" "Angie..." All the girls, such as Selina Qiu, Amy You and Allie, were looking at Era. Although they were all attracted by Jacob''s "beauty", they were a little afraid of his coldness. Era was on the cusp of the storm. Besides, whether Jacob takes part in the game or not is not only about everyone''s interest in ying the game, but also about Era''s face. At the moment, Anna was looking at hercently, as if she was saying that she had easily defeated Brooks, and that she would like to see if Era had the ability to deal with Jacob. To make that iceberg man to y such a hot game?! Era could do nothing but pray, ''God bless me!'' But she couldn''t give up without trying. She put her head against his chest and whispered in his ear, "Jacob, please." "I prefer fairness." "Well, I can make a deal with you." When Jacob heard her, he tilted his head and kissed her cheek. His warm breath gently brushed against her face... Chapter 67 Lets Begin (Part One) Chapter 67 Let''s Begin (Part One) With a thud! Era''s face flushed red. Some people open their eyes enviously, they think it would be nice if they were themselves "Okay, I''ll make it up to you tonight!" Jacob whispered in Era''s ear. With a swish, Era''s face turned red. This man was really a helpless man in front of so many people! But, could she refuse? There was no turning back for her. "Okay!" She gave him answer and told them to all. "Let''s begin." After that, Anna quickly took a ghost card and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight plum blossom cards out of the pile. In the first round, Amy drew the ghost card. Amy flipped her long hair gracefully and said, "I order... No. 6! Who is No. 6?" "It''s me," replied Ethan. Amy asked with great interest, "what do you think? Truth or dare?" "Truth!" He don''t know the depth of the game in the first round, so Ethan decided to make it a safe one. "I want to know, what... What kind of girl do you like?" After these words, Amy blushed. There are cases! Era was thrilled with the surge of the eight diagrams in her body. Amy liked Ethan. Hearing the question, Ethan was relieved. He nced at Era intentionally or unintentionally. "I like... A smart girl, but she wasn''t an old-fashioned girl. She was bright and calm. Sometimes, she is smart, and sometimes she is lovely. She has a beautiful appearance, but she never publicized, and even..." "Stop... Stop..." Selina stopped him and said, "senior, you are too ideal. How could there be such a girl?" "Yes." Ethan nced at Era again, "what a pity! I didn''t find her beauty at the very beginning. If I have a chance now, I will definitely let her see my true heart." In the beginning, he got close to her just because he wanted to take it for granted. However, when Era took the test again, she behaved calmly in front of the camera. She captured his heart with her graceful, mischievous and quiet behaviors. He had never seen any girl who had those contradictory qualities. And she was not abrupt at all. For the first time in his life, he fell in love with someone. That was the reason why he called Allie to celebrate for Era. He wanted to chase her again! At this moment, anyone who was not too dull could understand what was happening. But when they saw the bodyguards behind her, they all shook their heads. Hearing this, Brooks''s eyes darkened and he clutched the ss in his hand. The only person who was extremely happy was Anna. She really hoped that someone would make troubles in this awkward situation, so that she could get the chance to get Jacob! All of a sudden, Jacob frowned. The man expressed to his woman, he really didn''t want to live! A gust of cold air came to Era. Era patted Jacob''s leg and waved her hand, saying, "okay, this round is over. Keep ying! Keep ying!" The second round began. Era was terrified. She suddenly regretted that she had brought Jacob here. Even ying a game with him became terrifying with him. This time, it was Jasper who got a ghost card. A fewcentughters arose from his mouth. Then Jasper gave an evil look at Ethan. Then he said gloomily, "I''m sorry to tell you that I''m very good at ying this! Generally, when I get a ghost card, the person I think in my heart will be ordered!" The crowd looked incredulous. "You don''t believe me, do you? Hum... I will get Ethan this time! Plum blossom 3!" As Jasper said, he took out the card from Ethan''s hand and found it really was No. 3. These girls were shocked and thought, "is it possible that he is so wicked?" "Well, stop admiring me! Now the game began. Truth or dare?" "Truth!" "Well, if the girl you love is in front of you now, how will you express your love? Come on, please choose one of them." "Okay. Express, express." Selina and Allie cheered up. Amy was so nervous that her hands clenched. Why it was him again? And he also deepened the question just now! Era felt her scalp tingled. She gave him a fierce look and warned him not to take herself as a target. However, it was obvious that Ethan had taken her warning as an invitation. He took a rose from the vase on the table and walked to Era. He knelt on one knee and looked at Era affectionately¡ª¡ª "You know that? It is you that make me understand that disappointment is also a kind of happiness. Disappointment is a result of certain expectations. Where there is love, there is hope. Therefore, disappointment is a kind of happiness. But this happiness is a little painful. I don''t know if you are willing to stretch out your little hand to smooth my heartache." "Great!" Said Jasper, apuding. Allie replied with a wide grin, "I''m so moved!" Frowning, Brooks drank half of the wine in one gulp. "Brooks, look at them. They are really perfect match." Anna said. Selina shouted, "ept, ept!" It seemed that only the man next to Era was too quiet. Era was confused. Then, Jacob stooped down and took out a lily from the vase. He put the lily in Era''s ear and said coldly, "she doesn''t like rose." Era felt relieved after hearing his refusal. He''s flexible. "Well, it''s time to end your love confession. Although you didn''t hold the beauty in your arms, it was not bad. Let''s continue our game." Jasper quickly opens his mouth to rescue embarrassed Ethan. The game went on. This time, it was Selina who drew the ghost card. She hummed... Sheughed evilly like a witch. "I want to have something exciting. I want to... No. 7 kiss No. 3! !" "What? Don''t..." "Since you''re already here, you should have the ability to afford it. How can you not follow the rules of the game!" She retorted with arms akimbo. "I''m No. 2." Allie was relieved and put down her card. Era was No. 5. She put down the card and nced at Jacob. Her scalp is numb at once. Oh my god! He was No. 7! He was a little squeamish. It was obvious that it was a disaster for him to kiss both men and women! But Amy, Jasper and other people also put down their cards. None of them was No. 3. Now, only Brooks and Anna were left! Which of them is No.3? Only they knew about this... Anna slowly put down her card. A little disappointed, she said, "it''s No. 8." This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . "Ahem!" At this moment, Brooks cleared his throat and said, "I''m No. 3." Jacob''s face turned ghastly pale. Era was slightly stunned. Both of them looked forward to the scene. Selina smiled treacherously. "Let''s begin! You must follow the rules and ept my punishment unconditionally!" She stressed the word of punishment on purpose. Would she offend Jacob? However, someone was not afraid of death. They said, "So adorable! Who''s on top and who''s on bottom?" "Wow! Of course Anna''s boyfriend is on top. He is handsome!" Said Jasper with a smile. Selina retorted at once, "I don''t think so! As a matter of fact, I think he looks more passive!" Looking at these two guys who didn''t know how to observe people''s emotions, Era felt that she was on the verge of copsing. Didn''t they notice the murderous look radiated from Jacob? In fact, Jacob really wanted to get back, but Jay said that only enter her world could guess her mind... The words echoed in his ear like a magic spell. Well, he would keep silent. He would like to see howplicated the world of Era was! Chapter 68 Lets Begin (Part Two) Chapter 68 Let''s Begin (Part Two) Brooks was pinned on by Jacob''s rebellion, and he held hisst hope and didn''t move. However, unexpectedly, Jacob cursed and kissed him directly without saying a word... However, after that, they rushed into the bathroom in a blink of an eye. "Hahaha... Brooks, what a poor man! You are so talented!" Selina was so happy that she almost laughed out loud. Allie nodded and said, "yes. Angie''s boyfriend was so cool just now! Absolute powerful attack!" However, the speaker has no intention, the listener has intention. Anna''s face darkened, and she was unhappy. It was obvious that her boyfriend was inferior to Era''s boyfriend. She took revenge in her heart, and she got a ghost card at the next round. She took a triumphant nce at the crowd, "I want No. 2 to take off the man''s clothes on his right side!" Brooks shook his head helplessly. Although he had seen a lot of such weird tricks, he couldn''t help shaking his head. He didn''t expect that Anna was so crazy. Amy could not help but chime in, e on, what if it''s a woman on the right?" But Anna didn''t care about it at all, "women... What''s wrong with women! Until take off all her clothes like a man!" It was because she wanted to embarrass that woman! "How is that possible?" "Yes." Who knows if that dangerous No. 2 will hide in their left side? Then it would be a great loss for them. "No, let''s abstain!" The girls echoed. "Hey, you... All right, all right. Girls only take off their coat, okay?" Realizing that they were all against her decision, Anna had no choice but to make a concession! "That''s better!" As these words were uttered out of her mouth, Jasper pulled his clothes tighter and said, "Anna, you are such a slut!" "Get away!" Anna yelled at him. Then she cast a nce at Jacob and Allie with insidious eyes. If she guessed it right, the No. 2 must be in Jacob''s hand, Allie is on his right. Humph, let Era''s man take off the clothes of her best friend. She was so happy just to think about it! They turned the cards over one by one. When Era''s hand touched the cards, Jacob waved his hand and instantly their cards were changed. Except for Era, no one noticed that. Shocked, Era nced at Jacob and turned over the card. It was No. 2! He had to change the cards, or he would have to take off Allie''s clothes. But now it was she who had taken off his clothes. Is he sacrificing himself to protect Allie? In an instant, Era''s mind was in a mess. She couldn''t believe that he had done such a "human" thing! As Era lit up the card, the crowd became very excited. The women held each other in their arms. They almost had nosebleeds before Jacob took off his clothes. Anna was surprised that she had miscalcted. But it would be nice if Jacob was undressed. She was afraid that the cool guy like Jacob couldn''t afford to y the game. She was afraid that he would leave as soon as he was angry. "Undress! Undress! Undress!" The buzz of conversation rose among the crowd. "Angie, do it! He is your boyfriend!" "Yeah, I think you are quite skillful at it!" "Hey! Stop it! Don''t too far..." Era blushed and said angrily. When all people were sullen, Jacob picked up her hand, put it on his cor and gave her a meaningful look. Thus, the crowd boiled up again. "Jacob is so cool!" "Angie,e on! What a good chance!" "Yes, he was willing to sacrifice himself for you! Thank you..." Era started to unbutton his shirt, lost in thought. Era was really shocked by his performance today. She wondered what made him change so much in such a short time. When she took off his shirt, there were a few deep scars on his pink chest. He was so charming... Jacob lit a cigarette and leaned against the sofa, ncing around the crowd with cold eyes. Everyone was surprised. It was a rare opportunity and benefit. "I really hope this will never finish!" Selina said with an anthomaniac look on her face. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. "Wipe off your saliva!" Said Jasper angrily. Why did that man put on that attractive pose! Era felt depressed as if her thing was coveted. "Well, it''s time to y. Keep ying." Era dressed Jacob in less than ten seconds. "Oh, Angie! Slow down! Uh... I can''t see it anymore... My stripping show..." When she buttoned up thest button, she seemed to want to wrap him up. Seeing that, Jacob leisurely leaned against the button and was in a good mood. It seemed that all of today''s exceptions were worth it! However, in order to eliminate such requirements, he still directly vetoed this game request. Although his seat was not next to her, he was on the left of her. He didn''t want other men to take off his woman''s clothes. Then, Era drew a ghost card in session. Her luck was surprisingly good. "Have you ever done anything to ruin your life?" When she mentioned Anna, she couldn''t help asking the question she had been waiting for a long time. "Yes, I do. Like this time, I don''t have the heart to let sister be wronged like this. I am very uneasy." However, there was no trace of guilt in Anna''s eyes. Era smiled ambiguously. She was still a wolf, and she would never fall into her trap! Then, she drew a ghost card again and pointed at Jacob. She nervously asked, "what... What kind of woman do you hate the most?" "Noisy!" Right before his eyes was Era''s chattering mouth. "Anything else?" "Cunning!" Her eyes are like those of a fox. "Anything else?" "Cheapskate... Inquisitive..." Uh... Era waspletely speechless. It sounded so familiar. She was at a loss. The answer was different from what she had expected. It sounds a little like herself. She thought she could sound out some information and let him get bored. She didn''t expect this man to think so differently! Thinking of his conditions just now, she couldn''t help but drink Petrus, the expensive king of French red wine, as white water, one cup after another... It was almost early in the morning when all the people were gone. Outside the door of the Deep Sea Bar, Anna held drunk Brooks by the arm and asked worriedly, "Brooks, how can you go back like this? Stay with me tonight." Brooks rested his head on her shoulder and nodded unconsciously. Era stood aside, expressionless. After everyone took a taxi and left, she rushed to the trash can and vomited. She vomited and her legs became weak. Then she turned around and almost leaned on Jacob. She said pitifully, "Jacob, I can''t walk anymore!" Jacob brought Era back to the suburbs vi of Jay''s. Sitting in the car, Era really wanted to sleep. Damn it! Why did she feel so energetic. "Okay, you must make it up to me tonight!" His low voice echoed in her ears, and her face turned redder because of alcohol. She closed her eyes but couldn''t sleep. She can pretend to be asleep. When Jacob parked the car, he turned around and saw that Era was curling up like a sleeping kitten, sleeping soundly in the back seat! He got out of the car and opened the back door. He wanted to wake her up. But when he saw the red and cute face, his big hand suddenly turned around and covered it gently. Her lips are soft. Jacob''s lips couldn''t help but slightly rise. He stretched his arms to hold her. It was just that the moment when the soft body pressed on his arm was a little tight. Even for a moment, he was as sharp as a leopard. This silly woman was actually pretending to be asleep. Did she think that she could deceive him by doing that? He smiled evilly, carried her quickly into the room and asked the servant to fill the bathtub with water. Jay stretched his head out of the room yawning and said, "Jacob, are you so happy to forget toe back?" When he received a cold nce from Jacob, heughed, turned around and closed the door to sleep. s, he didn''t know the end of helping them. Jay rubbed his chin, lost in thought. Whatever. He believed that he would break the longsting emotional world of Jacob into pieces anyway, and then he would have fun! Poor Era, would you be killed by Jacob''s ws? The bathtub was full of water, so they went into the bathroom directly. Hearing the sound of flowing water, Era opened one eye secretly... Was he going to help her take a shower? Era thought in disbelief... Chapter 69 Sometimes Good Sometimes Bad (Part One) Chapter 69 Sometimes Good Sometimes Bad (Part One) When Era was confused, she was thrown directly into the big bathtub. Water sshed, and she couldn''t help choking and coughing¡ª¡ª "Cough... What are you doing?" After wiping the water droplets from her face, Era red at him like an injured beast. "What?" He bent down and gave her an evil smile. "What do you think?" As he came closer, his handsome face was as cold as ice, which immediately reduced Era''s vigor. Her heart beat fast, and her face was feverish. She looked away in a hurry and muttered in a low voice, "how do I know? I am not your mind reader." "You don''t know? I intended to give you a chance to confess and get lenient punishment. It seems that..." Era''s heart jolted. She forgot that the man in front of her had abnormal sensitivity. Thinking of that, she raised her little hands in surrender. "Sir... I confess..." "Tell me!" "Well, I... I shouldn''t have..." "What?" His tone was quite dangerous. It seemed that he was losing his patience. Era made up her mind and said, "I shouldn''t have pretended to be asleep, making you angry. I know I was wrong. I''m so sorry. Please forgive me!" After saying that, she lowered her head in frustration, without noticing an obvious smile shing across his cold eyes. Jacob found himself more and more fond of teasing her. He put her little hand on the first button of his cor and said in a low voice, "then let me see your sincerity to repent." In the bar, the feeling of taking off his shirt for him was still fresh in his memory. Normally, taking off clothes was not her duty. She was very skilled at this job, even faster than peeling peanuts! Moreover, at that time, because the distance was too close, there was no embarrassment today. Gosh! She could hardly stand it. She was really afraid that her blood would spurt out of the wound due to the heat! However, he didn''t want to let go of her. Era was stunned! He... He... He actually let her continue. "Well... Jacob..." "Please raise your feet, sir." She felt like a ve, humble and... She had no choice but to curse him again and again in her heart, ''stinky man, I wish you go to the bathroom without any tissue, eat instant noodles without mixing bags, drive your car to a dead end... "Go on!" His eyes shifted from his slender legs to the ck briefs. "Era, are you trying to be pure with me?" He looked down at her with obvious irony in his ck eyes. Ashamed, annoyed, and angry! The emotion rose all the way and upied Era''s brain, chasing away all her sanity. Fine! Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. When Era slipped and fell, she leaned back, almost knocking into the bathtub. Luckily, Jacob reacted quickly and grabbed her arm, using a little more force. She then stumbled and threw herself at Jacob. The air froze all of a sudden. When Era realized what was happening, she rolled her eyes¡ª¡ª "Ah..." All of a sudden, a deafening scream reached her ears. She pushed away Jacob and jumped backwards. Then she squatted directly into the bathtub. "You... You... You bully me..." She pointed at Jacob and used him with grievance. "Stupid woman! You..." When Jacob was about to say something with his eyebrows frowned, he heard a bang towards the door. Then he heard, "what''s wrong? What''s wrong?" This woman startled everyone in the vi! She must have meant it! After Jacob gave a bleak nce at Era, he turned his head to stop the approaching footsteps. "Get out!" "Well... Yes, Mr. Huangfu." "Jacob, are you okay?" Jay''s voice sounded rx. "Nothing!" "That''s good. Go back to sleep." Jay waved his hand and dismissed the servants. Then he looked back at the bathroom and said with a smile, "Jacob, take it easy. Don''t frighten my sworn sister." "Get out!" "The temper is still so hot!" Jay shook his head, walked out and closed the door for them. A clear mind came back. Looking at the man who was standing like a God in front of her, Era became timid again. "Well, Jacob... I didn''t mean it. Don''t be angry..." He''s fed up with it! Jacob stared intently at the woman in front of him. He had nned to punish her for escaping on purpose, but unexpectedly she turned all this into a nightmare! In the morning. "Uh... It hurts!" Era turned over, beating her waist and opening her eyes. You jerk! Last night, he was so angry that he ordered her not to go to bed, threw a nket, and then let her sleep on the floor. The floor was so hard that she felt backache and couldn''t fall asleep. However, as she couldn''t fall asleep, she came to realize one question, why did Jacob refuse to let her go? In the final analysis, she felt that the problem was still under her. She didn''t have the sense to be someone''s woman, so she was acting a little unconventional. As a result, she was just right for him. She brought him some sense of freshness and aroused his desire of conquest. So, from now on. She needed to change her strategy. Or perhaps he would soon be tired of her. First of all, she should learn to dress up. She needs a lot of makeup. Therefore, she stayed in the room and applied makeup for an hour. She wants to be sexy. Rummaging through the wardrobe, she finally found a skirt with little fabric. So she went downstairs... At the table, Jay was sending a piece of toast into his mouth. When he raised his head and saw Era, his eyes widened and bit the toast. Jacob perceived the abnormality of Jay and looked back at him as he was looking at her. He frowned and asked, "what are you doing, Era?" "Jacob," Era came forward like a peacock, acting like a spoiled child, "do you think I''m beautiful? I dress up like this all for you. You''ve taught me a good lesson yesterday. As your woman, I can''t mess you up like a kid. So, the first thing I need to do is to change my image. If I dress casually, it will lose your identity..." "Shut up!" Seeing that she was covered by makeup, Jacob seriously suspected that she was ying a trick on him again. "Listen to me, I''m really determined to be your woman, be your woman, be your good woman." "Do you want to be my woman well?" "Yes." Era nodded hard to show her sincerity. "Now..." Jacob pointed at her back with his big hand and ordered, "wash off that damn chemical liquid on your face and change your clothes!" "You... I''ve been dressing up for more than an hour. I didn''t expect you to not care about my feelings." Era felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. But she criticized him in her heart. She had originally decided to be a rebellious little wife to make him tired of her slowly, but as long as she saw his bad attitude, she could not help but provoke him! "Hurry up!" Hearing that, Jacob frowned. She was dressed in such a cool way that he could not see her at all. Now, he had the impulse to remove Jay''s lustful eyes. "No way!" Era twisted her body. Although she can''t y a humble wife, she could change into an arrogant and unrulydy, which might annoy himter. All in all, her next task was to try every means to make him hate her and then let her go! "Era!" His eyes were as cold as ice. "What?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a yful smile on purpose. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
