Jane squinted her eyes, looking at the unrecognizable woman in front of her, feeling disoriented for a moment.
Thinking about the woman who was extremely seductive with every smile and frown yesterday, she fell into contemplation.
“Heh…”
Only to hear Addisyn let out a cold laugh, she lowered her head, her disheveled hair falling randomly on her face.
Jane remained vigilant, holding a knife and pointing it at Addisyn.
“What have I done to you that you would treat me like this?”
She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with malice.
But the next second, Jane felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.
“Ah!”
She turned around, raised the knife again, and left a scar on the person who attacked her from behind.
Jane gritted her teeth and persisted, but the pain in her shoulder grew stronger, making her vision darken.
“Jane.”
Isabella’s voice came from behind, and Jane widened her eyes.
“What are you doing here?”
She looked at Addisyn, then at Isabella, instantly understanding the situation.
“The two of you are in cahoots?”
“Now that you know, it’s too late.”
Isabella sneered, her hand reaching for another long knife. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this situation today.”
“If it weren’t for your impulsiveness, using Fernando to kidnap me and escape, and now wanting to repeat the old tricks?”
Jane widened her eyes, trying to buy some time.
“Don’t use this trick on me anymore, it doesn’t work on me!”
After that day, Isabella carefully recalled the scene and realized that something was amiss.
It was Jane who deliberately provoked the conflict between her and Fernando, giving her an opportunity.
Jane felt her vision getting blurrier, cold sweat dripping down her forehead, and her shoulder still throbbing from Isabella’s sneak attack.
“What’s the point of doing this?”
“There is a point.”
As Isabella spoke, her emotions became more agitated.
“My life is ruined, and you will accompany me to the grave!”
With that, Isabella swung the knife in her hand towards Jane.
Jane instinctively closed her eyes, feeling the pain in her hand and shoulder, making her unable to move.
But after a while, Jane still didn’t feel the pain in her body. She slowly opened her eyes and found that the knife that had been held in front of her was now suspended in mid-air.
She opened her mouth and then used all her strength to fall to the side.
The knife fell from Isabella’s hand, and the next second, she collapsed halfway up the mountain.
“Patrick…”
Jane choked, looking at the man in front of her, blood still dripping from her hand, which made Patrick feel distressed.
“Jane.”
Patrick swallowed his saliva and embraced Jane in his arms.
Addisyn, who was behind them, tried to escape, but Patrick was quick and managed to pin her down. He took out a rope from his backpack and tied the two of them together.
“Let me go!”
Addisyn struggled, surprised that she had been tied up and thrown into the corridor the night before, and now she was tied up again here.
Isabella, on the other hand, stared blankly at the two people, unable to say a word for a moment.
Just as Isabella was about to stab Jane, Patrick quickly intervened and stopped her.
Seeing Patrick, Isabella instantly dared not move.
Patrick exuded a compelling aura that made it impossible for people to look directly at him.
While Isabella was stunned, Patrick delivered a heavy punch to her back.
Soon, Isabella couldn’t bear it and had to let go of the long knife in her hand.
“Why did you come so late.”
Jane buried her head in Patrick’s embrace, her shoulder still throbbing.
“It’s my fault for not realizing it in time.”
Patrick comforted Jane’s emotions. Soon, Jane fell unconscious in Patrick’s arms.
Patrick lowered his gaze. He had come out to climb the mountain with Dax today, but he didn’t bring many people with him. In the end, he could only embrace Jane’s waist and lift her up.
After seeing the situation just now, he contacted the police, and soon they arrived on the mountain with a team.
Fortunately, Jane and he hadn’t climbed far, so they quickly caught up with them.
Halfway down, Patrick suddenly realized that Jane was missing. He hurriedly rushed down, but for some reason, Dax kept climbing forward.
Patrick had no much to talk about with Dax, so he descended on his own.
As expected, when he reached halfway down the mountain, he saw Jane and Isabella entangled together.
Seeing the numerous injuries on Jane’s body, Patrick felt a pang of distress.
The police arrived and saw the two bound individuals and Jane’s battered appearance, and they immediately understood the situation.
“Sorry, sir, for the trouble.”
The police apologized to Patrick. With his aristocratic demeanor, they could tell he was someone not to be trifled with.
“Take them away.”
Patrick pointed at the two people in front of him, and the police nodded, proceeding to drag the two away.
“Let me go!”
Addisyn struggled, but the police gave her a stern look, silencing her.
Today, she wore a tight-fitting dress, deliberately putting on a seductive and enchanting makeup to try to win Patrick’s favor.
Little did she know that today, not only did Patrick not spare her a glance, he even glared at her fiercely.
Now, Addisyn was being dragged down the mountain by the police, her lower body already exposed, attracting the attention of those around her.
On the other side, Patrick was looking at Jane in his arms.
Jane was simply sleeping in Patrick’s embrace, but the mountain environment was harsh, with the cold wind howling, making it hard for her to feel at ease.
“Patrick…”
Jane called Patrick’s name softly, and he snapped out of his thoughts, lowering his head and gently asking, “Is it uncomfortable here?”
Jane nodded, her body still trembling uncontrollably.
She had come on this trip to soothe her anxiety disorder, but unexpectedly, this situation arose, causing Patrick to worry.
He was concerned that this would worsen Jane’s condition.
Thankfully, the wound on Jane’s hand was promptly treated. Patrick had brought a medical kit with him, anticipating that something might happen, and now it came in handy.
“It’s alright, sweetheart. I’m here.”
Patrick felt regretful at this moment. If he had known, he wouldn’t have brought Jane to climb the mountain today.
Climbing the mountain was already physically demanding, and with this situation, it put even more strain on Jane’s body.
Jane held onto Patrick’s arm and nodded, resting her head against his chest.
But soon, Jane realized that something was wrong.
She raised her head and looked around. “Where’s Dax?”
Speaking of Dax, Patrick furrowed his brows.
