Chapter 146
"Come on. Let's go." Jessica helped him up from the chair.
Trevor lightly pushed her hands away and caught her wrist with his slender fingers, then lifted her in a bridal carry.
"Let go of me. What are you doing? Do you know how dangerous this is?"
She was slightly panicked. Is this man insane? Does he know what situation we are in? We don't even know how many people are watching us nearby. Yet, he has the mood to carry me now? She admonished inwardly. "Don't argue. I'm pretty exhausted now," he said in a deep voice, completely disregarding her words.
She pursed her lips, feeling helpless. She wanted to struggle out of his hold, but his strength was too great. Hence, she could only remain in his embrace obediently while gripping her weapon.
When they returned to the hotel, Trevor placed Jessica on the couch and picked up the cup of water on the table to take a sip.
"Don't you blame me?"
She lowered her head. It was all her fault that he was abducted.
Yet, he hadn't reprimanded her at all.
"Do you realize your faults now?"
He turned to eye her meaningfully while the hand holding the drink loosened.
"Mr. Gulliford, I admit I was wrong for hitting you, but it was because you disrespected me. That was your fault," she stated.
To her, right was right, and wrong was wrong.
"Mm." He nodded, put down the drink, and approached her.
In the next second, he squatted down before her obediently. "I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Jessica froze, feeling rather flabbergasted.
Is this man apologizing? she wondered.
"Of course, I wasn't right in how I handled things
either."
She lowered her head once more. In order to conceal her guilt, she picked up the drink on the table and took a sip as well.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"No. You did everything right."
He lifted his hand and caressed her cheek, then headed to the bedroom to phone Martin.
"Mr. Gulliford, are you all right?"
"Mm. Have you investigated everything?"
His face was deadpan while his tone sounded displeased.
"Yes. That plump man is from Horington. The black-dressed man, on the other hand, wore a mask, so his looks couldn't be identified."
"Level the place where I was abducted to the ground. Get rid of the plump man. As for the black-dressed man, there's no hurry. I'll look for him in my own time." Trevor smirked as he spoke. That smile was so malicious that one would shiver in fear if one had
seen that.
"Got it, Mr. Gulliford. Next time, it's best you make a decision sooner in such a circumstance. Had it not been for Mrs. Gulliford rescuing you in one piece today, I wouldn't have been able to report to Old Mo Gulliford."
"She will definitely rescue me," stated Trevor confidently.
For some unknown reason, the moment he was abducted, he was confident that his woman would surely rescue him.
As expected, even though he was risking his own life, that woman did not let him down.
Indeed, Jessica had never once let
him down. Since she did not kill that person, then the company's
document's back then might notet
have been stolen by her either. There had to be something amiss
swn this.
That woman had always been worried about his reputation. She would rather bearthe name of being a murderer than expose his negative identity. Thus, he should feel proud and blissful for having her instead!

Alas, he was foolish and misunderstood her again and again, torturing her.
This time, he wouldn't do that anymore. He vowed to protect her well this time.
After leaving the bedroom, he subconsciously fell into a trance while gazing at Jessica, who was drinking water.
She lowered the cup and hurriedly turned around when she heard no movements from the man behind her. Seeing that he was still around, she breathed a breath of relief. "You're truly courageous," he praised while approaching her.
