At that moment, Leo comes out of the bathroom, and Brynn is so surprised that she drops the pendant.
“Who gives you permission to touch my things?” Leo lets out a loud roar and hurries over to pick up the
jade pendant, which makes Brynn almost fall to the ground.
Leo lifts his head. His eyes are cold, and he glares at Brynn, leaving Brynn’s words stuck in her throat.
“Leo...” Brynn just opens her mouth, is interrupted by Leo, only to hear him roar, “Get out of here!”
Brynn is shocked, and her body trembles. Her expression is somewhat trance. She could not
understand that Leo is not so kind to Claire. It seems that they have no feelings at all. But why did he
value her jade so much.
What’s going on here?!
Before Brynn has enough time to think, she hears Leo continue yelling, “Don’t let me say it a third time,
get out of here! Now!”
Brynn has another shock and looks at Leo’s face. She doesn’t hesitate, and immediately leaves his
room.
When she leaves the room, Brynn lets out a long sigh of relief and whisperes to herself, “I never
thought it would be so horrible for Leo to get angry. But, whether Loe loves Claire or not? It seems not
simple.”
...
The next morning, Claire gets up and finds no one downstairs. Leo and Brynn seem to have
disappeared all along.
Claire thinks that it would be tougher if Brynn and Leo were there. Claire smiles as thinking that.
After taking a shower, Claire changes her clothes and goes downstairs for dinner. It seems like a
normal day, but when she finishes her meal, she gets a call from Brynn.
“Claire... Claire, I need you to help me, okay?” Brynn on the other side of the phone starts crying,
making Claire a little confused.
Claire, who thinks Brynn is calling again about Leo, doesn’t hesitate to say, “What is the matter? Are
you going to talk about Leo again?”
“No, no, no.” Brynn says hastily, in a hurry. “Claire, my stepmother gambles and loses again. She is
looking all over the world for me to get me back. Can you help me? For the sake of all our relationship
of these years, it is wrong of me to covet your husband before. Help me, please!”
As Brynn’s voice grows louder and dumber with a hint of despair, Claire feels queer and softhearted.
“Where are you now?” Claire asks.
At that point, however, the other side of the phone is replaced by a man’s voice, which is rough and
harsh. And that man shouts, “In an hour, without 15 thousand dollars, Brynn will die!”
Claire wants to ask some more questions, but the man doesn’t give her a chance. He just gives her the
address of the transaction and hangs up the phone.
“This......What should I do?” Claire puts down the phone and hesitates.
She is very angry at the thought of all the things Brynn has done to discredit her in front of Leo, but
Brynn’s life is at stake, and if she hadn’t saved her...
Finally, after thinking about it for a moment, Claire makes up her mind to save Brynn. After all, she is a
good friend for so long.
When she makes up her mind, Claire pulls out the bank card from her bag and takes the money, Claire
goes to the place of the deal alone.
It is a bar. There are a lot of people in it. Claire thinks it is a cover, but it seems there is something
wrong.
However, Claire couldn’t wait to get Brynn out as quickly as possible.
Claire is walking back and forth in the bar, but she couldn’t find anyone who looks like he is waiting for
her. At that moment, Claire suddenly realizes what she is supposed to have been tricked.
As she thinks this, Claire hurries out of the bar, but just then a crowd of people comes up and stops
her.
The leader of that group is a middle-aged man, “Beauty, don’t leave. I see you come in with such a big
box. Why are you leaving? Are you scared? Don’t be afraid, I’ll give you a hug!”
The man’s words are full of frivolity, which makes Claire uncomfortable. She glares at him and says
calmly, “I don’t want to be here anymore, so I’m leaving. Please get out of the way.”
“Well, a pretty girl comes to the bar and leaves without doing anything? That is a really bad bar service.
Come on, girl, sit down and have a drink before you go.” Although the man says so, but the tone of the
flirtation is very clear. The attendant laughed too.
Claire’s face become gloomy as that man pestered her, “No. Get out of my way.”
But the man laughs more rudely, and he grabs Claire’s hand and begins to touch her body.
Claire struggles, but it is of little use.
After a while, it seems as if someone has shouted at that man a little while away, and he immediately
let go of Claire’s hand.
Claire sees the right moment and runs away as fast as she could.
However, Claire doesn’t notice that in the second floor of the bar not far away, there are two people
quietly watching everything downstairs and taking photos of everything.
And this man and woman are Brynn and the other person on the phone, who are conspiring.
As Claire trots along, her forehead is covered with sweat, and her hair is a little untidy from her hurry.
As she runs, she looks back for fear that the men in the bar might catch up, but they don’t seem to
follow which slows Claire’s pace.
When she is sure that no one is after her, Claire takes a deep breath, then hastily takes out her cell
phone and calls Brynn.
Brynn’s phone, however, is off all the time, and after several more attempts Claire sighs and stops
trying.
