Dorothy was able to smell the warmth of the man’s body. Even if she did not raise her head, she immediately knew who she had bumped into.
It was Juelz!
Each time she felt lonely, helpless, or hurt by Credence, he would always appear in front of her like a savior.
The moment she saw Juelz, she felt as if she had seen her closest friend.
Dorothy instantly felt a trace of warmth in her heart. She gently jerked her chin up, and unconsciously flashed the most sincere and joyful smile at him. “Someone is chasing after me. Thank God you’re here!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the alcohol hit her brain. In addition, her body couldn’t take it anymore. Her vision became blurry, and her legs went weak, falling into Juelz’s arms.
Juelz stared deeply at his beloved woman in his arms. Thinking about how relieved she looked when she saw him, he suddenly had mixed feelings.
After Dorothy had been taken away by Credence at that time, Juelz had also suffered serious injuries. He had been resting at home for more than twenty hours before feeling better again. When he recalled Dorothy’s dangerous situation, he forced himself to climb out of the bed and drove to the hospital immediately.
When he arrived at the hospital, he called Dorothy, but her phone was turned off. He searched for her high and low in the hospital, but could not find her at all.
Just as he was feeling anxious, he bumped into Jonathan, whom he had acquainted in the past. Jonathan told him that Credence had taken Dorothy to the most famous nightclub in Talco City.
Why did Credence take her to such a place?
Juelz was furious upon hearing the news. Without delaying any longer, he rushed to the nightclub.
He had no idea which room Dorothy was in. Therefore, he searched for her floor by floor.
Finally, his hard work paid off. He was able to get hold of her.
Juelz smiled happily. He lowered his head and fixed his eyes on Dorothy’s thin face. His voice was gentle and affectionate as he said, “Don’t be afraid, Dory. I’ll protect you forever, even at the cost of my life!”
When the few gangsters who were sent by Bob saw Juelz carrying Dorothy in his arms, they ran over and surrounded him. “Sir, if you don’t want to die, hand over the woman to us now!” one of them threatened fiercely.
“How arrogant you are. How dare you ask me to hand her over to you. Don’t you know who I am?”
Juelz shrugged his shoulders, with a wicked smile on his handsome face.
The few gangsters were a bit startled by Juelz’s aura. Although Juelz was grinning, they couldn’t help feeling that there was a symbol of danger hidden behind his smile.
But since they were paid by Bob, they would need to complete their task.
Although they knew that Juelz was not easy to deal with, they put on a brave front. “I don’t care who you are. She is a woman chosen by Mr. Walker. If you are smart, you should hand her over at once. Otherwise, we’ll chop you into pieces!”
In an instant, a fat, lecherous bald middle-aged man flashed across Juelz’s mind. Apparently, Bob had a bad reputation in Talco City for being lustful and greedy for money.
He did not expect such a dirty-minded man to have interest in Dorothy. How dare he? He must be sick of living!
“Oh, so it’s Bob Walker…”
Juelz paused for a moment. His sneer grew even wider as he said nonchalantly, “Go back and tell that a*shole to watch out. If he dares touch the woman I like again, I will make sure that he won’t be able to see tomorrow’s sun.”
The gangsters were at a loss for words.
They could only watch as Juelz walked away with Dorothy safely in his arms.
Out of nowhere, a woman in sunglasses suddenly appeared at the entrance of the club. She took out her mobile phone and silently took photos of Juelz and Dorothy.
The angle of the photos was particularly tricky. Besides looking beautiful and romantic, each photo had an inexplicable ambiguity to it.
…
In the intensive care unit of the hospital.
After hours of rescue by the doctors, Rosalie finally regained her consciousness. She struggled to chat with Linda for a while. When she saw Credence entering the room, she gave Linda a knowing look.
Linda immediately stood up and planted a warm smile on her face. “Credence, you’re here. Rosie just woke up, and she wanted to see you immediately! I’ve got to go now. You two have a chat. Rosie is still unwell, so please be patient with her.”
Credence nodded his head lightly while walking toward Rosalie.
Linda quietly left the room, closing the door behind her.
She was very proud that her biological daughter managed to win Credence’s heart.
Meanwhile, Rosalie looked at Credence with a trace of pride flashing across her eyes. However, she said with a weak and choked voice that was full of emotion, “Credence… Please don’t blame Dorothy. She did all this out of desperation. I’m… I’m fine. Mom just told me that she had a miscarriage. She loves her child very much. She must be very sad now. Credence, you don’t have to worry about me. Just go and keep her company. With you by her side, I’m sure she will be very happy and get over it soon.”
When Credence heard Rosalie mention Dorothy, his eyes narrowed unnoticeably. He finally opened his mouth. “Don’t bother about her. How are you feeling now? Are you still in pain?”
“Yes…How could it not hurt?”
Rosalie suddenly shed tears. “Do you know how scared I was when those men pinned down on me? I cried and begged them to let me go, but they refused! At that time, I hoped that you would suddenly appear in front of me to save me from the humiliation and pain, but… Credence, you never came! Even though I called out to you a thousand times, you still didn’t appear!”
“Credence, I…” Rosalie looked as if she wanted to say something, but then stopped. Covering her face with her hand, she seemed to be distraught.
“I’m sorry. I failed to protect myself. I don’t deserve to be with you anymore! When my body recovers, I’ll ask my parents to make arrangements for me to study abroad. Let’s… Let’s don’t see each other ever again!”
Rosalie pleaded with him pitifully. Credence merely stared at her as her tears rolled down her cheeks.
Surprisingly, his emotion was not too affected by her cries. Instead, he couldn’t stop thinking of Dorothy.
If Dorothy had encountered such an incident, she would not cry in front of him. Instead, she would vow to catch the culprits and bring them to justice.
She would never be concerned about how her reputation would be ruined. All she wanted was that no more innocent women would get hurt in the future.
That woman had always been a fool!
Frowning, Credence unbuttoned his suit. He asked in a deep voice, “Do you really think so?”
“Yes. That’s what I feel from the bottom of my heart.” Rosalie’s tears were like a broken faucet that could not be stopped. “Although Dorothy and I aren’t biological sisters, she’ll forever be my sister! Since she married you four years ago, it means that you two are fated to be together. Over the past four years, rationally, I had hoped that you would treat her like how you treat me, but… emotionally, I just couldn’t accept that you’re nice to her! I know I was being selfish. I’m sorry! After I leave you and Talco City, I hope that you will slowly accept Dorothy and treat her better!”
In front of Credence, Rosalie had always acted as a kind sister.
She knew him very well. Hence, she knew the way to make him hate Dorothy even more.
At this time, Credence’s mobile phone rang.
“I’ll take the call first.”
Credence walked steadily toward the window. After hanging up the call, his expression darkened instantly. His whole body emanated a cold, murderous aura.
