Reginald's anger flared, and he couldn't believe that after rescuing her from a destitute background, providing for her, and allowing her to act so recklessly, she would dare to plot against him.It was as if she considered him just another piece on her chessboard.His fury intensified, and the storm outside seemed to mirror his turbulent emotions.His outburst had taken Heloise by surprise.She sat there in silence, feeling a mix of confusion and shock.The broken bowl and spilled ginger soup created a mess in the room, while the thunder outside continued to roar.Jane and Harriet wisely kept their distance, cowering in fear, unsure of how to react.It was difficult to understand why Reginald was suddenly so angry and who he was reprimanding.Heloise still sat there in a state of confusion, not knowing what had triggered his rage. she found herself at a loss for words or actions, her expression frozen in a puzzled and stunned manner."You like to play, right? Fine! I'll play with you
"Shut your mouth, I find your voice nauseating," Reginald said with a sinister glance. "Mr. Wordsworth..." What did he mean? He brought her in and then said her voice was nauseating? "Take her to the adjacent room and make sure I don't see her," Reginald ordered the bodyguard who followed him. What? Coral, soaked to the bone, stared in shock and was dragged up from the ground by the bodyguard, who proceeded to pull her towards the adjacent room. Bewildered, she looked at Reginald. "Mr. Wordsworth, what do you mean by this? You invited me, you brought me in, how can you treat a girl like this... Mm-mm." Before she could finish her sentence, the bodyguard forcefully covered her mouth. He pushed her into the adjacent room and, in a hushed tone, said, "Shut up, okay? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" He didn't mind her getting herself killed. Mr. Wordsworth can be quick-tempered, and the bodyguard doesn't want to further bother him. "Mm-mm-mm..." Coral was frustrated to t
"..." This time, she had made a real mistake. "And, if Reginald truly falls for Coral and she discovers your presence, there's a chance she'll play the victim and you might be in danger," Lucas said, his tone growing more serious. "Here's the plan: while Reginald is ignoring you, you need to get to the border quickly. I'll protect you." Revenge could wait. Survival was the priority. "I can't just leave like this," Heloise said. She hadn't come to PHOENIXFELL Capital with the intention of retreating. "Coral has attached herself to Reginald, how can you compete with her?" Lucas frowned. She is too stubborn! Heloise's gaze turned even colder upon hearing this, and she said with unwavering determination, "No one should think they can stand in my way, not even Reginald." If Reginald had truly fallen for her and wanted to be the Brook's benefactor, she would push even that mountain out of her way. She was fearless and determined. "Heloise..." Lucas sighed. "Besides, Coral attachi
Obviously, this group of people is here with malicious intent. Heloise instinctively stood in front of Jane and Harriet. "Ahh!" Coral's friends were frightened by the sudden appearance of these armed individuals. Coral was in the middle of a phone call when she saw this, and she dropped her phone in shock. She stepped back, inadvertently bumping into Heloise. Heloise extended her hand and pushed Coral forward. Coral screamed and bumped into one of the men, who then grabbed her. "Boss, it's her!" he said. "Take her," someone ordered. Heloise quickly realized the situation: it was a kidnapping. Bena, trembling, had hidden to the side and was trying to call the police, but one of the kidnappers pointed at her, saying, "Don't be afraid to die by calling the police!" "Ahh, ahh!" Bena screamed and dropped her phone. Coral was being forcibly taken toward the vehicle, shouting, "What are you doing? Don't take me! My boyfriend is Reginald Wordsworth!" "Humph, if you weren't Reginald
He casually flicked the silver fork in his hand backward, with fierce tiger-claw tattoos. The silver fork pierced through the tablecloth and into the solid wood tabletop, standing there defiantly. Everyone was stunned, instinctively reaching for their own necks, feeling uneasy. Fortunately, the fork wasn't aimed at them. Ben stood there in a daze for quite some time before hurrying to catch up. Mr. Wordsworth's face... did it change too quickly?" …… The black car raced forward recklessly, and sirens were already blaring outside. Inside the car, several dark gun muzzles were pointed directly at them. Jane and Harriet shielded Heloise in the middle, forcefully pushing Coral away and even giving her a kick, "Shameless, pulling our miss into this mess." Heloise sat in silence as the car jolted. Coral, held by two kidnappers, was trembling in fear, "Please don't take me. Let me go, I'll give you as much money as you want." "Money?" the leader of the kidnappers sneered, "We dare t
Jane and Harriet widened their eyes in astonishment. Miss could actually speak such a clear, complete, and normal sentence! Was this still their Miss with the problematic brain? "Let you go? Spare us?" The robust kidnapper sneered, rolling up his sleeves to reveal muscles thicker than Heloise's legs. "I'm the national Taekwondo champion, and no one has ever been so arrogant in front of me. Okay, I'll spar with you." With that, the kidnapper rushed forward, throwing a punch at Heloise. Heloise leaned backward, wielding her dagger to accurately slash across his chest. The kidnapper, in pain, stepped back, and Heloise seized the opportunity to counterattack. After several rounds, the burly kidnapper found himself at a disadvantage. Observing Heloise's slender figure and her agile speed, he realized she had the upper hand. After a moment of thought, he came up with a plan. Instead of resisting Heloise's attacks, he decided to launch a fierce and relentless offensive. The thin kidna
Harriet shook her head as if in disbelief, "No, no, no, it's great that Miss is not mentally ill." "Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to leave here first." Heloise jumped off the wooden box, looked between the two captors, and finally pulled the dagger from the shoulder of the thin captor, pressing him to walk outside, "Let's go." The thin captor was in pain, almost fainting. Heloise used the muzzle of the gun to prop him up, and he staggered his legs to move forward. "You two, follow behind me." Heloise instructed the two maids, pushing the thin captor forward with the gun. Outside, a dozen guns were aimed at her. The leader of the captors stood there, dressed in a neat outfit, wearing a head mask, making it impossible to see his face. Only his eyes were exposed, showing some admiration, "Miss has impressive skills." "She even knocked down a national Taekwondo champion." "We're leaving," Heloise spoke concisely. "What about Coral Brook?" the leader of the capto
Just then, a man around sixty years old descended the stairs in a suit, his hair graying. "I never thought Reginald, who dominates the business world, would be such a devoted lover. If I had known earlier, I would have acted sooner." He laughed heartily as he walked over and sat opposite Reginald. Heloise glanced over and recognized the old man as the head of a certain financial conglomerate, surnamed Baker. News had it that he and Reginald weren't on good terms, with Reginald suppressing him almost to bankruptcy. It seems he is the mastermind behind this kidnapping case. Reginald lifted one leg, leaning against the back of the chair, and glanced coolly at him. "Old Baker, half of your bones are already buried in the soil, and you're still playing such an exciting game of kidnapping? Be careful of a heart explosion." Old Baker's face turned unpleasant upon hearing the curse. He forced a smile and said, "Reginald, according to the hierarchy in our circle, you should address me as
