Chapter 968
The man stood straight up after sensing it, and surprise instantly flashed across his eyes when he
lowered his head.
"What are you looking at?!" Narissa scowled.
"Come on, what's the big deal? I'll let you look at mine," said the man as he unbuttoned his shirt,
leading Narissa to close her eyes at once.
"You scoundrel!"
The next second, she felt something wrapped around her, and she looked up to find the man running
away.
"Stay right there! You and I have a score to settle!"
As if I'm going to let you run away so easily after you 'defiled' me. I wouldn't be Narissa Cuber if I didn't
batter you up. Meanwhile, the man stood at the end of the stairs with his hands in his pockets and
smiled frivolously. "I gave you a chance to look, but you turned it down. We're already even, there are
no scores to settle, so we won't be seeing each other again." With that, he turned up the stairs to flee.
It was supposed to be a feint in the first place. He would pretend to go missing so that Alexander would
search high and low with his men while he made a run for it in the meantime.
Having never been this indignant, Narissa flipped out. "You better hope that we never see each other
again!"
However, the next second, the fading footsteps became clearer, and the man reversed down the stairs
step by step, back into the basement. He looked up at the other end of the stairs where Alexander
stood, obstructing most of the light shining in, looking like a God as well as Satan.
"This is the second time I've caught you, isn't it?" Alexander bore into the man like an Alpha.
"To think I didn't deceive you," The man frowned, feeling somewhat upset his plan had failed. "You can
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttell me your name now." It was as though Alexander was taming a wild beast.
It was his call to loosen or tighten the reins in his hands.
The only reason Alexander was willing to play this cat-and-mouse game with the man was that he
successfully slipped away from his grasp, meaning the man was skillful. It would greatly benefit Smith
Co. if he could be at Alexander's disposal.
"I will only yield if you can catch me for the third time!" The man wasn't willing to go down without a
fight.
Aside, Narissa sneered, "Ha! You're a fish in a barrel right now. Do you think you have the right to
negotiate?!"
The man's gaze turned profound.
On the other hand, Alexander moved aside surprisingly and didn't turn the man's dare down. "I'll let you
run away again then..." "No way!" Narissa objected fiercely. "He'll go into hiding for good if he gets
away this time. He can't leave!"
How am I going to make him pay me back for defiling me if he gets away?!
What Narissa said was precisely what the man was going to do.
Even if the young woman had seen through it, he didn't plan on hiding it and instead said frankly, "Are
you not worried I'll actually do that?"
"No," Alexander answered confidently. "But I'm not an idiot either. If I catch you again, you'll have to join
Smith Co. as one of my men."
It was only fair.
"Deal!" the man agreed without hesitation before charging up the stairs, but when he passed
Alexander, he was suddenly stopped.
"Hold on!"
"What? Are you taking it back?" The man reached into his pocket, planning on escaping by force at any
time.
"You think too little of me." Alexander spread a palm out in front of him. "Hand over the antidote first."
It was only then the man remembered the numbed young woman in the basement, and he heaved a
sigh of relief.
With that, he chucked a spray bottle from the other pocket toward Alexander and fled while the latter
was catching the bottle with both hands. Later, he used the flowerpots by the wall as leverage to fly out
of the compound, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Alexander sighed with a chuckle
before entering the basement to free Narissa, who stretched her limbs after reclaiming her limbs.
After coming to herself, she reproached Alexander, saying, "You shouldn't have let him go just like
that!"
"He'll be back. Trust me," commented the man indolently, leading Narissa to roll her eyes at him before
chasing after the man.
In a forest about six miles away from Griffith Manor, a shirtless any carried long thorn rattans that
created countless lacerations on his back. In fact, some cuts were even dripping with blood. However,
Danny made nothing of it and just mused to himself.
"I've come to atone for my mistake, Ariel. I've cheated on you, and you can punish me however you
want!"
No, not this one. It's too unapologetic.
Danny shook his head and shifted his domineering attitude into a smiling, fawning one.
"Hehe, Buttercup, I accidentally slept with another woman. You can be the bigger person and forgive
me, right? I promise it will never happen again, or I'll rot in hell!"
That won't do either. Smiling and acting cheeky will make her think I'm not being sincere
With that, Danny readjusted his mood and put on a grave face before announcing, "Ariel Whitney,
you're my wife. I have been set up and put on a bed with another woman. But you have to understand
that my heart is with you. That was just an accident. Now that I've come clean with you, we'll put it
behind us and live our lives like usual."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHa-ptui!
Danny couldn't help giving himself a solid slap at that. "What are you talking about, you b*stard?!"
Just then, a derision came from the trees above him. "If I were you, I'd chop my d*ck off as an apology.
Chicks dig this kind of move."
Having seen Narissa in action, Danny instinctively looked up into the tree above him and instantly
found a man sitting cross- legged on one of the branches.
"Who the hell are you. sitting up there like a bird-man?! Come down here and talk to me!"
At that, the man stood up and patted the dust off his hand before drawling, "My name's for me to know
and for you to find out. Either way, I know women better than you do. Women are doubtful. They'll know
sooner than anyone if their husband has cheated on them. The sun has already set while you waste
your time talking to nothing here. let alone your wife's heart."
Danny lowered his head in response and mused.
Has Ariel really figured it out?
At the same time, another voice came from afar. "Stay right there!"
"F*ck, she really won't give up!" The man instantly leaped and swung onto one tree after another like a
monkey and finally disappeared into the woods.
Before Danny could register what had happened, he found Narissa coming in his direction in a similar
style and disappeared in the man's direction without even saying hi to him.
"What the..."
What is this primitive movie-like sh*t?!
Danny had always considered himself a skilled fighter, but after seeing the two, he finally understood
the saying 'there's always someone better than you'.
However, that wasn't his priority right now.
The man's words inspired him, and Danny pulled out a dagger. After chopping off the rope tying the
rattan, he grabbed his shirt and headed toward his home with determination.
Yes, his and Ariel's home.
