"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's last 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.
"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 she come 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 plan 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 to come 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 villa, 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 villa in the blue sky and
white clouds. Was it really so dangerous here?
The well decorated villa was very quiet.
Since Jacob was absent, even Steven and Aaron disappeared.
Every room was empty. Era stood in front of the white building blankly, and there was strange silence
around...
