The man in the driver’s seat suddenly looked up and his sharp gaze noticed the movements in front. He saw a dirty pinkish little figure standing in the middle of the road, pursing her lips and sobbing.
He also noticed the pair of beautiful eyes, which were as blue as the sky, looked awfully familiar.
Jeremy’s cold face suddenly froze. A strange emotion welled up from the depths of his cold eyes. From the looks of it, he was almost about to crash into the little girl.
Squeak…
He turned the steering wheel fiercely, and his car drifted sideways before barely passing the little girl’s body by two centimeters.
He drifted for a whole ten meters before stopping the white Maserati. He opened the door, got out with a gloomy look, and walked towards her.
His handsome face looked indifferent. He lowered his head and asked in a condescending tone, “You must be Belle!”
He could tell that the little girl had suffered a lot.
Her pale face was covered with dust, and she had lost her left shoe. There were dust and scratch marks on the back of her fair and tender leg. The tip of her toes were scratched by sharp stones too, and blood seeped out slowly.
When she saw him approaching, she raised her small hands to wipe the tears on her face. Strangely, she was not afraid of his cold face at all. Instead, she pounced on him and hugged his long skinny legs with her thin arms. She rubbed her mouth gently and said, “Daddy, are you my daddy whom I have missed so much and finally came to protect me?”
When Belle got close to Jeremy, he remembered that she was Credence’s daughter. His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to kick her off. But the little girl softly called him “Daddy”. It was such a clear shout that he withdrew the evil thoughts in his heart. His heart, which had been wandering in hell for so many years, was suddenly softened. He patiently stayed by her side, as if to cooperate with her.
Her soft hands held his trouser leg and led him forward. Her soft little voice was filled with anxiety, and it was also hoarse from dehydration. “Daddy, my beautiful godmother has been taken away by bad people. Save her, Daddy.”
Jeremy did not move at all. He smiled at her and asked, “Is your godmother Germaine?”
“Yes, she is my beautiful godmother.”
Belle tugged at him twice, but he did not respond. She anxiously raised her head and looked at him with her big blue teary eyes. “Daddy, the bad guys are right in front. Can you please hurry up? I don’t want… I don’t want her to die!”
“How many bad guys are there?” He asked.
To find Germaine as soon as possible, Jeremy wasted a lot of time and had taken a lot of wrong paths. He didn’t expect to hear about her location from Belle. He had always been able to control his emotions freely, but now, he could not calm himself down. His face was dark and full of rage. He looked fierce and horrible.
The cold temperament made Belle tremble. She then withdrew her hand to count her fingers, “Daddy, there was a woman; three, four, five, a lot of men. They tore her clothes and she was crying.”
Jeremy could not bear to continue to listen. He suddenly reached out and squeezed her arm like an eagle carrying a chick and flung her into the car mercilessly. He smiled at Belle with an aura that was as evil as the devil. “You little brat, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I am not your daddy. If you keep shouting, I will cut your tongue out.”
“Don’t cut my tongue.” Belle pleaded.
She shivered and quickly covered her pale little mouth with her thin hands. “Why are you not my daddy? I can feel that you are my daddy.”
Her father, whom she had just met, was fierce and even glared at her fiercely. She suddenly felt afraid, and she inched uneasily, “Daddy, you are so fierce. I don’t want you anymore. I want Germaine, and Mommy too.”
Jeremy stared at the crying little girl, and for the first time in his life, he felt ridiculous for not bearing to kill this little girl.
The moment Wilson saw Belle, his eyes lit up. Especially when she called Jeremy ‘Daddy’. His mind wandered off and he had already thought of a romantic drama of the little girl wandering around the streets and finally finding her father.
Suddenly, he appeared in front of the car window and gave her a few lollipops and biscuits that he had gotten from God-knows-where. He asked her with a smile, “Little princess, tell me, where is your mommy?”
When she smelled candies, she got hungry and started to eat; she completely ignored Wilson.
She ate until she was finally satisfied, then raised her little face and told Jeremy with a sweet smile, “Daddy, Mommy is your wife. You tell him where she is.”
When Jeremy heard that, he almost spit out the cigarette in his thin lips. He looked at Belle gloomily and cursed Credence in his heart. He wondered why he had a daughter like that?
However, Wilson was delighted, “Boss, your little princess is so smart. She’s just like you.”
“F*ck off!”
Jeremy kicked away the annoying man and spat out the cigarette in his mouth. He got in the car and fixed Belle in the back seat, all the while ignoring her.
He took a look at her before closing the door. She was much smarter than an average child, after sensing his ill intentions, she immediately called him “Daddy.” Her occasionally tensed little face and bright blue eyes revealed an extraordinary calmness and wisdom. He sneered.
He remembered the time in the army when he had the chance to kill Credence, he had the exact expression when he pointed his gun at his head.
The men from that family were all the same. They were able to keep calm and controlled. They only cared about the woman they loved and would not fall for anyone else.
Since he did not love her, since he already had a lover, then why did he still flirt with her? If he was just flirting and having fun, why didn’t he just shoot at the walls?
In the blink of an eye, Jeremy narrowed his eyes and made up his mind. He drove his car in the direction where Belle was pointing at, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
In the dark night, over a dozen luxury cars rushed out like lightning and headed straight towards the tropical jungle in the north, raising a lot of dust.
…
When it was almost midnight, Credence found the exact spot of a small base on a deserted island. From the information he got along the way, he learned that Belle and Germaine were both tied up there.
Ever since Rosalie got out of prison, she used her seducing talents to enter Jenciga alone and even acknowledged a big shot as her sugar daddy.
With that man backing her, that sly woman immediately carried out her vengeance. She rushed towards Talco City to kidnap Belle and used her to defeat Dorothy and him.
In truth, Rosalie wanted Dorothy and Credence’s life even more.
Credence let out a cold sneer, lit a cigarette, and took a big puff. He pointed at the map and began arranging a plan of attack. “The island is not big. It is easy to defend but hard to attack. The enemy’s firepower is all concentrated, thus it will be difficult for us to sneak inside in a large group. The larger our deployment, the more people will die.
How about this, the people with the best skills, follow me. The rest, wait for my command.”
In the middle of planning, Marvin walked through the dark passage and entered the room. He brought someone with him.
“Credence, look who’s here.”
When Credence heard that, he looked out of the door.
He could clearly see who was approaching under the dim lights. His long eyebrows frowned tightly together. In that instance, he was boiling with rage!
