Unexpected Assistance

Book:The Billionaire Alpha Contract Lover Published:2024-11-6

The drawer was empty, causing Taya’s heart to sink. The album was a relic left by her sister, but she lost it. After staring at the drawer for a few seconds, Taya turned around, walked toward Neil, and calmly analyzed. “Ordinary thieves are only interested in money, but they stole our design drawings, which means they are aiming at the designs. Do you think there is someone in the same line of work who always wants Rosalie’s album?” Neil was sending the police the picture of the golden paintbrush. When he heard Taya’s question, he stopped for a while. He looked up at Taya. “Many designers want Rosalie’s album, but to steal it in Washington was…”
He seemed to have thought of something and quickly told the police the names of several designers, so that the police could investigate. After the police got the clue and left, Neil walked up to Taya. “This hotel is not safe. Let’s find another place.” Taya felt that nowhere was safe after experiencing this. “Now that the construction site has been surveyed, what else do I need to do here?” If there was no need to stay, it would be better to return as soon as possible. “We could have returned after the survey, but now that the things have been stolen, we should wait till we recover them.” Taya agreed and nodded her head. Even if she wanted to return to the country, she had to find her sister’s belongings first. “Then let’s change to another hotel.” After Neil sighed heavily, he tilted his head and asked, “Do you still have money?” Taya turned around and opened another drawer, and the wallet inside was gone. She quickly took out her phone, opened the bank app, and found that the one million that Harper gave her had been debited last night. Neil leaned over to take a look at her phone, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled stiffly. “Great. You’re in the same situation as me.” Taya stared at balance, which showed zero, and her heart ached. It was Harper’s hard-earned money… Neil knocked on the screen of her phone and said calmly, “Those Spidermen must be habitual criminals.
They easily took out money after they obtained our bank cards. They might be hired to take the album, but what they wanted was money. The cooperation is a win-win situation for them to earn more…” he said it so lightly, as if only a few thousands were stolen. “How much have you lost?” Neil raised a finger and showed a clean smile. “Ten thousand.” Taya was speechless. Neil patted her on the shoulder and comforted, “I already know I would be robbed or have my things stolen, so I only bring ten thousand whenever I am abroad.” Taya couldn’t help but glance at him. “Aren’t you a black belt in Taekwondo? How could you be robbed?” Neil also glanced at her. “How can you believe my nonsense?” Taya finally understood what Harper meant by how unreliable Neil was. She was helpless. She sat down at the desk. When she was staring into space lifelessly, a tall and straight figure walked in from the door. Griffon walked up to Taya and stretched out his fingers. “Follow me.” Taya looked up at him, shocked. Didn’t he leave? Why was he here? When Neil saw that the person who came in was Griffon, he also showed the same shocked expression. A man of the three most powerful families in the country was reaching out to Taya and asking her to go with him? Neil rubbed his eyes, suspecting that she had mistaken. But the handsome man in front of him was clearly Griffon.
He slowly shifted his shocked gaze to Taya. “This is the acquaintance you just mentioned?” What?! Taya didn’t tell him that she knew such a rich heir, causing him to lose more than ten thousand! Taya didn’t reply to Neil’s words, but after looking at Griffon for a few seconds, she replied, “No need. I’ll figure it out myself.” Griffon’s handsome face darkened. “What can you do? ” Taya wanted to say a few words, but Griffon bent over and hugged her, who was sitting on the chair. Neil, who was still in shock, saw Griffon picking up Taya and walking towards the elevator. He quickly chased after them. “Alpha Knight, take me with you!” He has no money on him, and if he did not hold onto this chance, he would have to sleep on the street! Griffon held Taya’s hand and freed his other hand. When Neil was about to rush in, he quickly closed the elevator door. Neil outside the door, cursing, “What the hell, man!” Taya took a step back, leaned against the elevator wall, and looked at Griffon. “Where are you taking me?” His eyes gradually dimmed. “My place.” Taya felt a little helpless when she heard this. “Didn’t you understand what I told you in the hospital?” What she meant was that they shouldn’t contact each other or see each other. But he was asking her to go to his villa? Griffon stared at her for a few seconds and said softly, “I understand, but where can you go in this situation?” Taya was rendered speechless by his words and didn’t know how to answer him. Embarra*sed, she said, “My companion and I will find a way.” Griffon curled his thin lips and snorted coldly, “He can’t protect himself. What kind of solution can he come up with?” Taya didn’t want to embarra*s herself in front of him, but she realized what he said was correct, but… “L…” Before Taya could say anything, Griffon interrupted, “Taya, the hotel is not safe. Be good and come to my villa.” The foreign country was too chaotic, and he couldn’t guarantee her personal safety at all times. Only when she was within his sight could he feel relieved. Hearing this, Taya was worried for a moment, then clenched her palms and looked up at Griffon. “I know you are thinking about my safety, but have you considered Jessica’s feelings when you ask me to stay in your villa? ” Griffon frowned slightly. “What’s the matter with her?” Taya clasped her fingers and kept rubbing the skin of her palms. “Yesterday I saw her hugging you…” She didn’t finish her words, but Griffon understood them. He took a step forward, his tall, straight body loomed over her petite frame. He raised his fingers, propped them on the elevator door above her head, and looked down at her. “Taya, listen clearly, the only person who can touch me is you.” Taya’s heart trembled, and she lowered her head in disbelief.
Griffon used his other hand to gently lift her chin, making her look straight into his eyes. “Jessica took advantage of the situation and hugged me, but I didn’t allow her to hug me.” He stared at her fair face and explained softly, “I have nothing to do with her.” He seldom spoke to Taya in such a gentle voice, which made her uncomfortable. She wanted to avoid eye contact with him, but he pinched her chin, not letting her move. “Taya, I promised Jessica that I would give her a chance to pursue me, but the deadline is three months, and it’s expired now.” Besides, during this period, I have been at the NASA and have never had anything to do with her. Don’t misunderstand me because of this.” After Griffon finished explaining, he bent slightly and leaned closer to her eyes again. “Also, I had held Tara’s hand and carried her to the hospital in front of you. I did this on purpose to test you.” “I can swear that I have never wanted another woman other than you in my life…” Listening to his belated explanation, Taya froze in place as she looked into those dark, cold eyes. It was impossible for Griffon in the past to explain so much to her. Many times, he was not even willing to talk to her. Now, he not only explained to her the current and past misunderstandings, but he also swore to her, which was unbelievable to her… Griffon’s handsome cheeks pressed down a little bit. When the bridge of his nose was pressed against hers, Taya panicked. She wanted to push Griffon away, but he stared into her eyes and asked in a h o a rse voice, “Is it because of Jessica that you rejected me in the hospital?”
