“No!”
Addisyn roared, opening her mouth, wanting to bite down hard on Patrick’s arm.
But Patrick was quick to react, taking out a crumpled piece of paper and stuffing it into her mouth.
Now, Addisyn was completely immobilized.
“What’s going on!”
After a while, Jane walked out of the elevator.
Addisyn was bound tightly and casually thrown in the corridor.
“Mmm…”
Addisyn struggled, and soon Jane untied the ropes for her.
“Addisyn, what happened to you…”
Jane was about to ask when Addisyn, as if fleeing for her life, left the hotel in a hurry.
Jane called out to her from behind, but Addisyn never turned back.
Soon, Addisyn returned to Dax’s room.
“My dear.”
Dax saw Addisyn return and was about to go forward to greet her, but he immediately noticed the marks on her neck.
“Where did you go?”
Dax’s eyes darkened as he examined the bruises on Addisyn’s body, which were even more pronounced on her hands.
“Ugh, don’t say anything!”
Unexpectedly, Addisyn burst into tears in front of Dax, covering her face, looking extremely aggrieved.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Addisyn in such a state, Dax also became anxious.
“I went out tonight and met Jane’s husband. I just wanted to say hello to him, but he…”
At this point, Addisyn started crying again.
“You!”
Dax pointed at Addisyn, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Patrick has the worst temper. Why did you provoke him?”
Unexpectedly, instead of comforting Addisyn, Dax blamed her.
This made Addisyn even more angry.
“What are you saying! How was I supposed to know he was like that?”
“No matter what, you shouldn’t have provoked Patrick!”
Thinking of Patrick, Dax stomped his foot lightly. “Are you attracted to his power and despise me because I’m poor?”
“What did you say!”
Addisyn gritted her teeth, infuriated by Dax’s words.
The two of them parted ways, and Addisyn was forced to go to the adjacent room to sleep.
However, Dax soon realized the seriousness of the situation.
How could Addisyn have encountered Patrick in the middle of the night? Something was clearly not right.
With that in mind, Dax decided to give Jane a call.
Soon, Jane’s voice came through.
“Dax, what’s wrong?”
“Jane, um…” Dax felt somewhat embarrassed, “Addisyn just said she encountered Mr. Pansy, I don’t know what happened between them?”
“What?”
Jane raised an eyebrow, looking at Patrick beside her.
“Uh, Dax, you…”
She was worried that if she said too much, Dax might not be able to handle it. After all, just a moment ago in the restaurant they seemed so affectionate.
“Oh my! You don’t know her; she’s always been like this with a hot-headed personality,” Dax explained.
“Always?” Jane furrowed her brows. “Dax, have you known each other for a long time?”
“Of course,” Dax admitted with a lovesick expression on his face as he reminisced about the past. “I remember how I had to put in so much effort to win her over back then. It’s been several years now.”
“Several years…” Jane widened her eyes. “So does that mean she was your first love?”
“Yeah,” Dax nodded his head before continuing with excitement in his voice, “Later on, due to various reasons, she went abroad and we lost touch; but these days being able to meet her again is truly my good fortune!”
As the story continued, Jane already felt that Dax was beyond saving.
Blinded by a woman like her, it was clear that Addisyn was not a good person.
“Um, Dax, have you ever thought about why she approached you…”
Jane probed, but Dax immediately denied it.
“What could be her purpose? I’ve known her for so many years, how could I not know her?”
Jane shook her head. It seemed that no matter what she said, Dax wouldn’t believe her.
But from Addisyn’s behavior, something was indeed off.
After disappearing for so many years, why did she come back to find Dax?
Jane shook her head, deciding not to say anything more.
“By the way, even if she was in the wrong tonight, I know Mr. Pansy has a bad temper. How about tomorrow she apologizes to Mr. Pansy? Then I’ll take you all out to play, consider it compensation.”
“Ah.” Jane raised an eyebrow. “That doesn’t seem right.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
Dax rejected directly. “That’s settled then, goodnight!”
After saying that, Dax hung up the phone and went to the adjacent room to apologize to Addisyn.
The second time, Jane and Patrick arrived at the address Dax sent last night.
It was a big mountain, and only Dax could come up with the idea of climbing it together.
Soon, Dax brought Addisyn over, and upon seeing Jane and Patrick, she looked uneasy.
“Alright, let’s go up first.”
Dax took on the role of mediator, holding Addisyn’s hand and slowly climbing up the mountain.
Soon, Dax and Patrick were climbing up too fast, and Jane couldn’t catch up from behind.
Addisyn kept calling out from behind, but the men only stopped and waited for a while before realizing they couldn’t catch up.
In the end, they had to give up and sit halfway up the mountain to rest.
“About last night…”
The surrounding air quieted down, and Jane probed.
“Don’t mention it!”
Unexpectedly, Addisyn suddenly became agitated, catching Jane off guard.
“You…”
Jane raised an eyebrow, looking at Addisyn’s fierce expression, which was completely different from her previous panting and delicate appearance.
“Jane, you deserve to die.”
The next second, Addisyn slowly uttered these words.
“What do you mean?”
Jane furrowed her brow, but as soon as she looked up, she saw a knife coming towards her.
Fortunately, Jane still had some agility. She dodged by tilting her body, narrowly escaping the attack.
“What are you doing!”
Jane forcefully pressed her hand against Addisyn’s arm holding the knife.
“You should die!”
Addisyn widened her eyes and fiercely raised the knife, thrusting it towards Jane.
Jane, already weak, couldn’t react in time. Her eyes widened, and she fell to the side, accidentally getting cut on her arm by Addisyn.
Soon, blood slowly flowed from Jane’s body.
“Addisyn! What are you doing?”
Jane shouted loudly, dodging Addisyn’s attack with a turn, then snatching the knife from her hand.
“Give it back to me.”
Addisyn growled lowly, clawing her way towards Jane, but Jane held the knife and didn’t dare to engage in a fierce fight with her.
“Who are you really?”
