Chapter 267 – Farcical Ending
Wrapped beneath the cold exterior was a bleeding heart.
This was York Charlie’s current state.
He seemed calm and collected, unaffected by Moore Howard’s words in the slightest, however, it was nothing more than an illusion.
He didn’t realize that his relationship with Blanche Capra started this way, and he was naive enough to think that Blanche Capra was just coming back for him, and that she was just looking out for old times’ sake.
It seems naive is what he is.
But it’s all Moore Howard’s side of the story; York Charlie has always been forgiving of Blanche Capra, and if she says something, he’ll believe her.
But Blanche Capra keeps telling Moore Howard to shut up the whole time, fearing he’ll spill more dirt.
What was going on in her mind?
York Charlie suddenly doesn’t get it.
Moore Howard tried to say some more snide remarks, but Blanche Capra couldn’t listen anymore, and she didn’t care about her situation, she angrily yelled at him, “Moore Howard you shut up and don’t try to stir up any more trouble.”
“I-” Moore Howard was just about to respond when he was cut off by York Charlie, who asked her, “Was everything Moore Howard just said true? ”
Blanche Capra didn’t know what to say to that, there was truth and there was lies.
She didn’t hurt later.
He also thought about the situation she was in, her parents were dead, her relatives were ignoring her, and she had to borrow money to survive, and Moore Howard’s presence was a lifesaver for her.
To put it bluntly, if Moore Howard hadn’t lied to her, she wouldn’t have bothered with York Charlie’s life.
Blanche Capra can’t say a word of this right now.
Her silence makes York Charlie’s heart ache, “Blanche Capra, I’m asking you, is he telling the truth?”
Blanche Capra still didn’t say anything, just stared round-eyed at Moore Howard-the man who had caused her so much pain, she wished she could let him go to hell right now.
Her stare was getting under Moore Howard’s skin, and he was letting himself go completely now, without a shred of sympathy for this hostage.
The fist was about to come down head on again, Blanche Capra closed her eyes and prepared to take it, York Charlie suddenly called out to him at that point, “Wait a minute, didn’t you just tell me to choose? I choose.”
“Oh?” Moore Howard grunted and withdrew his grip on the back of Blanche Capra’s neck.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“I’ll take the man, and you can have the property.”
Moore Howard is still a little incredulous, “You mean it?”
For a woman like Blanche Capra? For a woman like Blanche Capra?
York Charlie sullen face, like obsidian shimmering eyes unfathomable, “the conditions are you put forward, and now you yourself turn to disbelieve, you play me?”
“That no, I just did not expect a big president of the group would give up the family fortune for this kind of woman.” Moore Howard laughs, with sarcasm, “Hurry up, tell your men to deal with it.”
York Charlie took out his cell phone and pretended to make a call, Moore Howard was still laughing smugly and let his guard down for a moment, not realizing that behind him, there was another person waiting.
Blanche Capra, by now dying and without the breath to speak, shook her head, not wanting York Charlie to do this.
“It’s me.” York Charlie said, looking at Moore Howard, “You help me transfer my entire family fortune to-”
Moore Howard.
Moore Howard then waited to hear his own name, however, the sound came to an abrupt end along with him being tackled.
Francesca Jones waits a long time before she finally finds a gap and pins Moore Howard from behind, grabbing his hands.
Moore Howard is no match for Francesca Jones and can’t move no matter how hard he struggles.
York Charlie said to the confused attorney on the other side of the phone, “There’s nothing going on, hang up now.”
He hung up and his men threw down the ropes, he put on leather gloves and slid down the ropes and picked up Blanche Capra.
Blanche Capra’s hands and feet were still wrapped in shackles, and he used his master key to undo them, looking at her covered in bruises. But he also had some mixed feelings because of Moore Howard’s words.
“I’ll take you back.” He picked up the weak Blanche Capra, not wanting Moore Howard to suddenly break away from Francesca Jones at that moment, he would have tried to snatch back Blanche Capra as a chip on his shoulder, but York Charlie backed up so fast he couldn’t snatch it, and was grabbed once again.
The waves suddenly hit, the yacht rocked, and both York Charlie and Blanche Capra fell into the sea.
Almost by reflex, York Charlie grabbed Blanche Capra, but couldn’t, and when the boat rocked, he jumped into the sea with her.
He couldn’t stand by and watch what happened to Blanche Capra.
Francesca Jones is distraught when she sees that something has happened to Blanche Capra. He ties up Moore Howard and jumps into the sea to look for him.
Blanche Capra felt like she was dreaming, she dreamed that she was in a lake-green world, surrounded by bubbles, and that her body became light and her hair spread out.
And before her eyes, there was light.
It was York Charlie, she saw it, and York Charlie was slowly coming towards her.
How wonderful it would be to freeze this moment.
He was her light, a presence she could feel even with her eyes closed.
York Charlie grabbed her and he spun her around in his arms, dragging her up by the hand.
The deep sea was full of unknown dangers that Blanche Capra should have realized long ago, and she slumbered peacefully in his arms, glancing at the unfathomable depths of the ocean before closing her eyes, which were red.
It was like something had been bitten, and the blood bursting from the wound spread out into a demonic flower.
She closed her eyes, unaware that she was once again alone in the sea.
…
Francesca Jones didn’t spot York Charlie when he found Blanche Capra in the sea, and he didn’t have the energy to save two people at once, so he took Blanche Capra on the yacht first.
They took the same boat that York Charlie had been on and took the tied up Moore Howard with them.
“Come on, get back.” Francesca Jones ordered, while putting Blanche Capra down and giving her CPR.
The henchman was still a little hesitant, “What about President Charlie?”
“You wouldn’t send another ship over to look for it now? Had to lose both lives didn’t you?” Francesca Jones disliked impatiently.
Only then did York Charlie’s men immediately turn the boat around and head back to the city.
And the sea, now, had regained its calm.
Francesca Jones took Blanche Capra to the hospital, where timely treatment saved her life.
“The patient’s wound in an inflamed state did not get disinfected and changed in a timely manner, it became infected with pus and we treated it, in addition, there was blood pooling in the internal organs and it was obvious that they had been impacted, all of these need to be further examined.” When the doctor finished, Francesca Jones was scared for Blanche Capra.
What the hell was she going through these days.
Francesca Jones went home to change into some dry clothes, during which time she received another message – Moore Howard had escaped, his approximate whereabouts were anyone’s guess.
He won’t be able to escape for long, though; he’ll have to start a new life in this community unless he becomes someone else.
Francesca Jones doesn’t care about Moore Howard, he only cares about Blanche Capra.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long for Blanche Capra’s awakening.
Blanche Capra’s eyes were open, staring up at the ceiling as if she was remembering something from earlier.
Suddenly, she called out, “York.”
Francesca Jones sat on the edge of the bed, “Are you awake now?”
Blanche Capra closed her eyes and nodded, “I have some bad news for you, I hope you’re not too upset.”
Blanche Capra had a bad feeling in the back of her mind, she even wanted to run away from it.
As expected, it was something to do with York Charlie, bad news.
“York Charlie is missing.”
