Juelz coldly walked to the top floor of Talco Hotel. When he arrived, he realised that the door of the presidential suite at the end of the corridor was guarded by two men in black suits with solemn expressions. He could tell at a glance that their temperament was similar to Jeremy’s.
That had to be Jeremy’s suite.
Germaine had to be inside.
Juelz walked over with a tensed face. Just as he got close, Blade, who was standing on the left, immediately shouted, “Stop, if you come closer, you won’t want to know what follows next. Hurry up and scram. There isn’t anyone you want to meet here.”
Locus also sneered. “Nosy people like you should just get out of here! Get as far as you can from here!”
After being barked at by Jeremy’s bodyguards, Juelz laughed instead of getting angry, “Tell your boss that Juelz Sherman is looking for him.”
Locus had a straightforward personality. When he heard Juelz’s name, he was a little confused. He turned his head and asked Blade in a low voice, “Hey, he shares the same surname as boss’s. Are they brothers?”
Blade shook his head and looked uncertain, “I don’t know either. However, this person’s temperament is extraordinary. He doesn’t look like an ordinary person at all.”
At the very least, when ordinary people sensed their murderous intent, they would’ve run away in fear. How would they have the guts to stand here unmoving, without even so much as a frown?
They hadn’t been Jeremy’s bodyguards for a long time, and Wilson hadn’t told them about the Sherman family’s members, which was why Blade and Locus didn’t know anything about Juelz and Germaine.
Blade was the smarter one out of the two. He rolled his eyes and stared at the handsome man with a darkened expression. He frowned and said, “Our boss is busy with something. Why don’t you come back later?”
D*mn it, their boss was still having fun with the woman they’d brought to him. If they suddenly went in there and interrupted him, they’d probably be shot in a second.
When Juelz heard that Jeremy was busy inside, his face darkened, “Is there a woman inside?”
“Yes, why?”
Locus was young and arrogant. He squinted at Juelz and said with a cold smile, “Whoever our boss is playing with is none of your business. If you know what’s good for you, then get out of here. Don’t overestimate yourself!”
Juelz was so angry that he lifted his leg and kicked at the arrogant man. He sneered and barked out, “F*ck you, I’m not going to waste my energy arguing with a watchdog like you. Do you think I’m scared of you?”
His kick was hard and swift, but Locus successfully dodged to the side to avoid it. Juelz took the opportunity to throw himself at the door.
A loud bang could be heard.
The door had not been completely shut before so Juelz managed to push it open and was met with the bloody scene.
When he saw how bloody Germaine was, he clenched his phone so hard that he almost shattered it.
“Jeremy, what the f*ck, you b*stard! What on earth did you do to Germaine?”
Juelz could feel uncontrollable rage burning in his heart. It made his blood boil.
Germaine was completely drenched in blood, and almost every part of her flesh and skin were torn apart.
Her entire face was red and swollen as blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. Her nails were broken, and there were blood marks littered on the milky white marble floor.
Her exposed arms and legs were covered in marks, and each wound was oozing blood.
Her red dress was torn, and the blood mixed in with her dress. It was hard to tell which was which.
Blade and Locus heard the man who had just entered roaring at their boss. They looked at each other and immediately rushed in. Just as they were about to attack Juelz, they suddenly heard Jeremy’s cold voice. “This is none of your business. Both of you, get out!”
“Yes, sir!”
Blade and Locus dared not disobey his orders. They lowered their heads and quickly evacuated and closed the door. They carefully guarded the room from outside, resuming their previous positions. They were well-trained at that.
Locus felt uneasy. He lowered his voice and asked, “Blade, I think I heard that woman is called Germaine, and that man seems to have come to save her. Did we catch the wrong person?”
“I don’t know either. How about this, I’ll call Mr. Wilson and ask him.” Blade was at a loss for what to do as well.
Wasn’t their boss just looking for someone to sleep with? Why did it seem like he was going to murder someone?
The call was quickly picked up. When Wilson heard Blade mention “something like Germaine”, he was so shocked that his voice became a few octaves higher. He broke out in a cold sweat and swore loudly. “F*ck, I told you two to get some random woman for boss to vent his anger on, but you two brought Miss Germaine in there?! F*cking idiots!”
“F*ck, it’s possible for boss to kill someone when he vents his anger!”
“Let me make this clear. If I don’t make it through this, I’ll bring both of you to hell with me!”
Wilson ended the call angrily. He didn’t even hesitate to leave behind the clients with him and hurried to Talco Hotel.
Holy crap, what were the odds that the two idiots had kidnapped Germaine of all people? What the h*ll was going on?
…
In the suite, Germaine, lying prone on the floor, heard Juelz’s pained roars and turned her head with difficulty. When she saw him, her bloodshot eyes teared up.
“Juelz, thank god you’re here!”
Hearing these words alone, Juelz’s eyes turned red and prickly. He was so distressed that he almost shed tears.
He ran over to her and quickly blocked in front of her. He kicked Jeremy in the chest and laughed coldly. “F*ck you, Jeremy! You’re not even a f*cking human, treating a woman who loves you with all her heart like this!”
“I didn’t know it was her! I didn’t mean to!”
Jeremy was completely caught off guard and took Jeremy’s kick with full force. He backed away, his eyes bloodshot. He retreated all the way to the wall, his fists clenched tightly, and his body trembling.
“Germaine, I’m sorry!”
“I was wrong!”
“Germaine, will you ever forgive me?”
His eyes were filled with raw pain. His pleading screams sounded shrill and insane, as if he had lost his mind.
After that, Juelz watched as Jeremy began to punch himself wildly, like a crazed monster.
He packed each punch with all the strength he had, and he started to spew blood in no time.
After that, he dragged his heavy body towards Germaine, sobs choking him up. “Germaine, this is why I tried so hard to push you away from me.”
“I’m not a normal man, and my illness acts up very frequently. I’m a freak, I’m a monster, and I have this need to harm women.”
“The closer you get to me, the more I would want to hurt you.”
“Germaine, I can’t have a normal relationship with you, not in this lifetime!”
That was because, when he was still very young, he had suffered extreme psychological trauma that made him lose the ability to love.
Only by hurting, torturing, and killing people would he feel energetic and alive. It was the only way he could feel like a normal person.
Tenderness and love had lost their place in his life a long, long time ago.
How could such a dirty and disgusting person like him love her?
“Jeremy, don’t come over. Go away! Everything hurts…”
At this moment, Germaine’s fear of Jeremy was deeply engraved in her bones. When she saw him walking towards her inch by inch, she screamed sharply, “Juelz, save me, he’s going to kill me. He’s going to rip me to shreds once he gets his hands on me. I’m really scared, please…”
The man she loved was not human at all. He was a vicious beast wrapped in human skin. His true self was so vicious and different from her expectations that both her body and mind were on the verge of collapse when she came to that realisation.
She cowered behind Juelz and tried to shield herself with her weak arms. However, her resistance was futile. Every word she uttered hurt her physically and emotionally. She couldn’t help but sob.
Listening to her wails, Jeremy couldn’t take another step towards her. He stared at her horrified face and eyes, and his heart felt like it had been punctured. Blood was gushing out of his heart, and it was going to overwhelm him.
He knew that letting her go would be best for the both of them, but he was reluctant to do so. He could only continue to call out her name helplessly, “Germaine!”
He deeply regretted it. Would she still be able to turn back into the once bright and charming girl she once was?
Germaine dared not look at him anymore. She hid behind Juelz as she was scared out of her wits. She screamed frantically, “Juelz, please take me away! I don’t want to see him anymore.”
“That’s enough!” Juelz yelled.
“Jeremy, you f*cking deserve to go to hell! Can’t you see that Germaine’s almost losing her mind because of you? If you come another step closer, she’s going to go insane, and she’ll stay like that for the rest of her life. Is that what you want?”
“If you want her to get better, then you’d better not appear in front of her ever again.”
His voice filled with unconcealed hatred as he continued, “You have turned the whole Sherman family upside down, and you’ve even made Germaine go insane. Just how else are you planning to ruin our family? How far will you go?!”
“If you want Germaine to forgive you, you should give up attacking Scott Group and Credence. You should return all the shares you took from Credence, including the shares in Rosalie’s hands!”
“Also, you should know that Rosalie’s an ungrateful c*nt that deserves no sympathy. You have to turn her in to the police as soon as possible.”
Juelz held Germaine’s trembling wrist, and continued to yell in anger, “Otherwise, Germaine will never see you again!”
“I don’t want to ever see him again! Never!”
Germaine kept repeating that phrase like a mantra, her eyes filled with panic as she did.
This aggravated Jeremy horribly. Suddenly, he righted his posture, and a murderous look flashed across his face. “Juelz, if you’re trying to influence Germaine to leave me, you’re playing with fire! I’ll kill you right now!”
At that moment, he felt himself fill with violence. After that, he threw himself at Juelz like a ferocious wolf with evil intent.
