Chapter 302
It was a clear and powerful “Get lost” uttered in Richard Hampton’s signature languid tone.
It was so familiar to Sidney Pauley that he immediately felt relied upon hearing it.
There was nothing to worry about then.
It appeared that Yvonne Shaw didn’t even manage to touch his clothes. Otherwise, the outcome would have been a lot worse than being sent flying
He would probably have killed her outright
Sidney felt both gratified and fearful when he thought about it.
“If I had known that so many people covet you so much, I wouldn’t have gone downstairs to slack off.”
Sidney made it sound like there was some sort of gay relationship involved….
The corners of Richard’s eyes twitched. He gave Sidney a look of disgust.
Sidney felt offended by his response, “Richard, what is that supposed to mean? I worked so hard to ensure your cleanliness is not compromised but you don’t appreciate it!”
“Shut up!” Richard was so angry that his wound hurt even more, He calmed down and said, “Let’s get down to business,
At the mention of “business, Sidney became serious at once and reported everything John had found out.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
An inexplicable bone–piercing chilliness spread out, followed by a murderous vibe that struck fear in people.
Richard glared at Yvonne lying downstairs and lethal iciness burst forth from his dark eyes.
After a while, the icy voice finally spoke.
“Take her away and lock her in the dark prison first.”
“Yes, Sir.” John Ross swung into action at once.
Sidney raised his eyebrows. He was surprised that Richard did not throw Yvonne directly into the sea to feed the fish and chose to lock her in the most secretive dark prison instead.
After much thought, he surmised that Richard decided to spare Yvonne’s life for now because he wanted to let Tiffany deal with this woman herself.
This much was true. It was blatantly clear in everything Richard did that Tiffany held a special place in his heart…
While Sidney was still immersed in his thoughts, he heard Richard ask, “Where is she now?”
Naturally, ‘she‘ referred to Tiffany.
Sidney immediately protested, “It’s so late now. You can’t go running all over the place before your injuries recover. You have to recuperate for at least two days!”
In response, Richard turned around wordlessly, went downstairs and got ready to leave.
He could not wait two days. In fact, he didn’t want to wait a second longer.
Late at night, the autumn rain continued. Fine raindrops fell densely on the leaves as beads of water rolled off their surfaces.
Richard was standing outside Luna Villa.
Round lamps remained lit of the external grounds while the villa was dimly lit. The master bedroom was pitch–black, and it was obvious that the owner of the villa was asleep.
Richard endured the pain of his injuries and tried to climb over the fence.
However, the instant he made his move, the alarmn went off.
In the next second, the fence became electrified. The voltage was so great that he could only jump down immediately.
“Ouch.
This girl seemed determined to cut all ties with him. Not only did she change the security codes of Luna Villa, but she also added several layers of anti–burglar protection to the fence.
If he forced his way over the fence, there would probably be other traps other than this electric fence waiting for him.
Richard felt very helpless,
If he wasn’t injured, the height of this fence would have posed no challenge to him. However, in his current state, it was already a great achievement if he could stand up.
John immediately reached out to support Richard when he jumped down. “Sir, it’s still raining. You haven’t recovered yes Why don’t we come back another day?”
“No.” Richard had to make things clear in person.
He didn’t want to see her unhappy.
He also didn’t want her to be angry with him and ignore him.
John scratched his head and came up with what he thought was a clever plan. “Then.. how about I break down the door?”
Richard gave him a sidelong glance. “You stay away from Sidney
“Why?” the clueless John asked.
Richard replied with a straight face, “Because idiocy is contagious.”
John finally understood. He stepped back with an aggrieved look and dared not give any other suggestions except to ask, “Then, are we going to stand here the whole night?”
If Richard stood in the rain the whole night and subsequently fell ill…
This sounded like a good idea to Richard.
Tiffany was a stubborn but soft–hearted girl. Perhaps she would be moved to tears at that point…
The more John thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was good. Before he could say anything, Richard shook his head. “It’s coming soon.”
“Huh? Who’s coming?” John scanned the premises.
The answer came in the form of a swift and agile figure that leaped over the fence.
It was Lucifer, the big tiger which had been transferred here from Royal Bay a while ago.
Lucifer was delighted to see Richard. It leaped around him exciteilly before proceeding to the gate. Then, it kept pawing and biting until the lock was broken and the metal gate swung open
“Good kitty. Extra food for you tomorrow” Richard rubbed Lucifer’s head before making his way with familiarity to the second floor.
In a flash, he jumped nimbly through the window and entered Tiffany’s bedroom.
Richard was a little tense and apprehensive.
He wanted to explain it to her.
He even wanted to tell her that the past few days when she ignored him had been torture for him.
However, when he saw the empty bed, his enthusiasm fizzled ouNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
The bedroom was empty. She was not here.
Richard checked the bed and found that there was residual warmth. The blanket was also messed up. It was obvious that the owner had left not long ago in a hurry.
This meant that she didn’t want to see him so she shunned him.
Richard was at a loss. His face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but the bitter smile was evident.
Was it that difficult for her to trust him?
With a gust of chilly wind from the open window, Richard turned around and disappeared into the night.
In the guest room, Tiffany curled up under the blanket. She was feeling extremely conflicted.
Earlier, she had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep the entire night. The moment the alarm went off, she immediately checked the surveillance footage.
When she saw the familiar tall lanky figure in the real–time video, her heart began beating wildly.
Following that, she saw Lucifer groveling and fawning at the man’s feet.
In the end, the big metal gate was unlocked by that furry traitor.
Without a second thought, Tiffany left her bedroom and hid in the guest room.
She didn’t want to see Richard for the time being.
Her mind was in a mess and she felt a little suffocated.
The scenes from that night kept replaying in her mind.
Tiffany pulled her hair in frustration. When she raised her head, she got a fright. Jeremy Cooper was sitting by her bed. He looked at her without any emotion and said, “He’s injured”
Tiffany felt a jolt in her heart as if it had been cut by something sharp. “How did you know?”
Jeremy simply smiled without saying anything.
He had experienced how powerful that man was. If he wasn’t injured, how could the feeble defenses of Luna Villa stop him?
