In the car, Natasha was about to remind Brendon that it was time to turn right at the intersection when
he stepped on the gas and went straight through the intersection.
Natasha looked back while saying, "You're going the wrong way, ahead of the transfer ......"
Before the words were out of her mouth, she saw Brendon driving up the elevated.
This path will only lead further and further away from her home.
Natasha spoke uncertainly, "Where are you going?"
Brendon said calmly, "Didn't I miss your birthday last time, I wanted to make it up to you."
Immediately after, he said, "By the way, didn't you say last time that you would introduce your friend to
me, call over together."
Natasha skimmed: "Or forget it, my birthday is several days away, and you ......"
Afraid of hurting his pride, Natasha didn't reveal that the necklace he gave her was a fake.
She thought about it and spoke politely: "In fact, I have a birthday, it does not matter whether I received
my favorite gift, as long as you are with me, I will be very happy, so no need ......"
Brendon obviously wasn't listening to the words that preceded her, interrupting, "I've got it all set up,
you do what I say."
His tone took on a bit of impatience, much different from the usual pleasing and gentle.
Natasha froze for a moment and subconsciously rummaged through her bag, "I don't know where my
phone went ......"
Brendon pulled over and handed her his cell phone.
Natasha gave him a look and slowly dialed Elaine's number.
When Elaine got through, her voice came quickly, "Natasha, where are you now?"
Natasha said, "I'm with my boyfriend, he said he's going to make up a birthday party for me, do you
want to, come over and join ......"
As she spoke, Natasha watched Brendon's reaction, her gut feeling telling her that something was
wrong with Brendon today.
Natasha turned his words and immediately said, "Don't you come over, I ......"
Before she could say anything, the phone was snatched up by Brendon, who quickly hung up.
Natasha struggled a few times, but could not resist Brendon's strength, and she spoke incredulously,
"What the hell are you trying to do?!"
Brendon ignored her and just sent Elaine an address.
Natasha tried to get out of the car while he was texting, but Brendon sensed her intentions and quickly
locked the door.
After sending the text message, Brendon only looked at the terrified Natasha: "Don't worry, I won't do
anything to her, I'm just taking her to meet someone."
"You ......"
Natasha looked at him with the eyes of a stranger, full of caution and fear.
Brendon said softly, "I'm doing this for our future, Natasha, once I marry Elaine and get her father's
support, the whole the James family will be mine, and I can wait for you for whatever you want, isn't
that good?"
Natasha couldn't help but stare: "What are you babbling about, you ......"
Brendon made a shushing gesture toward her, "We should get going."
......
Ten minutes later, Elaine arrived at the address Brendon had sent her.
But the only person waiting for her was Brendon, and there was no sign of Natasha.
Seeing her, Brendon laughed, "Miss James came quickly, and it looks like you're worried about
Natasha."
Elaine cupped her hand into a fist: "Son of a bitch!"
Brendon pulled open the car door, "Miss James please, my father wants to see you."
"What if I don't go."
Brendon, as if he had expected this answer, opened his phone and showed Elaine a picture.
Natasha fainted in the couch, not knowing what was going on.
Brendon continued: "I also just learned that Natasha and Miss James are actually so close, it seems
that I am quite lucky. I know Miss James doesn't want to marry me, but Natasha and I are at least
boyfriend and girlfriend, even if I did something to her, it's a matter of course and reason, and I hope
Miss James can come to our wedding then."
Elaine didn't expect to hear such disgusting words one day, and the person who said it was Natasha's
boyfriend.
She said, "You're not allowed to touch her!"
"That depends on Miss James' cooperation or not." Brendon said, "My father just wants to talk to you
for half an hour at the most, and I'll be sure to get Miss James and Natasha home safely."
Elaine stood still, clutching her skirt, not speaking for a moment.
Brendon said, "Miss James you don't have much time to think about it."
Elaine's lips pursed slightly as her eyes fell on the vehicle in the distance hidden by the bushes.
Archer has arrived.
Elaine looked again at Brendon, whose attention was all on her, even a little smug, completely
unaware.
After a few seconds, she nodded, "I'll go with you."
The man at hand stepped forward to block: "Miss ......"
Elaine said, "You wait here for me, and if I don't come back in half an hour, you can go to the uncles
and aunts of the James family and ask for a statement."
This time, apparently Brendon's father intended to see her alone and didn't want the James family side
to know about it, which is why it took so much trouble.
And with her grandfather's reputation still intact, plus the need for her father's help, the James family
would not have let her be left in the McPherson family, even if they had turned a blind eye to it.
After Elaine finished her explanation, she followed Brendon and left.
On the way, she glanced absently in the rearview mirror a few times to make sure Archer was following
her.
Brendon, however, also had a plan and made a few circles, leaving the car following behind him clean.
He said, "Miss James, no need to look any further, the people protecting you, have not followed you up
long ago."
Elaine pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
After half an hour, the car stopped in front of an estate.
Not the McPherson family.
Elaine got out of the car and thought the place looked a little familiar.
She seems to have come here when she was a child, it should be one of her grandfather's yard ......
As Elaine looked away, Brendon's voice came in, "Miss James, please."
Elaine withdrew her thoughts and followed him inside with an expressionless face.
Walk through the long garden corridor and enter the house.
Inside, however, was empty.
Elaine turned her head, "I thought you said your father wanted to see me, where is he?"
"Elaine."
The sound came from the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
Elaine's body lurched, snapped back, and when she saw the visitor slowly walking down step by step,
her pupils contracted violently, and her face was full of shock: "Uncle Caesar?"
Caesar came to a stop in front of her, the smile on his face as always, "It's nice to still hear you call me
that."
Elaine could not help but take a few steps back, shook his head, his face white, his voice with a few
light tremors: "No ...... you are not already dead, I saw you with my own eyes ......"
"Elaine, don't be afraid, I'm still alive." Caesar looked at her expression and spoke regretfully, "But it
seems, you are not so happy."
