The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 506 Hope Over The Horizon

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Not being very familiar with anyone else at the Golden Crown, Kristie hurriedly followed after her 'boyfriend', only to be stopped by a lady in a green suit not far from the car he entered.

"Please follow me, miss, the first car is full."

"I-Is everything okay?"

The lady smiled. "Don't worry, miss, our lady is simply escorting Mr. Amos so he can get proper treatment in time as an apology for injuring him."

Kristie couldn't help but sigh in relief. For a moment, she thought she would be left alone in this foreign country with no way out or even the means to house or feed herself. After all, Amos didn't allow her to keep a purse or phone while she was with him.

It was only after she unsuspectingly got into the car she was led to and the doors were locked that the blonde girl realized that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Amos didn't remain dazed for too long after he was taken away by lady Dimitrescu, but no matter how he screamed or cursed at her to let him out, the woman just apologized 'sincerely' and kept insisting on 'getting him treated' as an apology.

By the time they arrived at their destination, the silver-haired boy's face was already somewhat purple from screaming in rage for so long.

Fortunately, his own driver had been following after them on his own, and the boy immediately limped over while giving lady Dimitrescu the middle finger. "I don't care if you're dumb or really did this intentionally, I'll definitely pay you back a hundredfold for today's humiliation!"

The pain in his ankle was hardly worth mentioning, but Amos knew for sure that the Black Tiger's future owner being carried away like a damsel in distress by a woman would make him the butt of all jokes for weeks to come. Moreover, that giant bitch even made it seem like he was the one who made it all happen!

He knew just by looking at her face that she must have been enamored by his good looks, and wanted to use this method to tie him to her side somehow. Unfortunately, not only did she not win him over, but also made him detest her to the core.

Feeling his teeth itch in hatred, the silver-haired boy clenched his fists so hard that his nails directly dug into his skin. 'That fucking whore totally ruined my good mood today!'

Lady Dimitrescu just looked dumbfounded and somewhat heartbroken at his words, and watched his car drive off sadly.

The tall lady sighed forlornly after a while before trudging slowly to her room. As soon as she got in, however, her expression immediately turned cold. "Has the girl been taken away?"

A somewhat feminine figure immediately exited the shadowy corner of the dimly lit room before kneeling down beside her. "Yes, mother. It is done."

Lady Dimitrescu smiled. "Good. Make sure everything is carried out according to the instructions sent by the Empress."historical

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

With his thoughts clouded by rage, it wasn't until late into the night before Amos finally recalled that he'd brought a 'girlfriend' over to the Golden Crown, and she was no longer with him when he returned.

Presumably, even if the security around the Phoenix Palace was supposed to be good, a lone girl like Kristie with no money and no contacts should probably be in a pretty desperate situation already. But Amos wasn't too worried.

After all, even if something happened to Kristie, he could always find another Christa, Connie, or Kimberly. As long as they could be trained to be obedient and made to resemble Crystal with some make-up, he didn't really care about anything else.

Of course, Amos also knew that he couldn't just abandon Kristie here. As someone who attended the Golden Crown with him, her face was already associated with the name 'Amos Black'.

Amos sneered as he picked up his phone, and it didn't take long for the call to connect. "Tell the driver to get back to the Phoenix Palace and bring Kristie over. Oh, and look for someone with similar requirements as before."

The man on the other side cleared his throat awkwardly. "T-That, s-sir, Kristie is already back, s-she was sent over by lady Dimitrescu. A-And it's not easy to dispose of people in Phoenix, c-can we—"

Because of his focus on the 'disposal', however, the man completely forgot to inform Amos about the fact that Kristie had only just returned, hours after Amos.

The silver-haired boy blinked in surprise, but frowned soon after.

He naturally wasn't so hasty that he would dispose of Kristie before they even left Phoenix, not to mention that he no longer had any reason to get rid of her if she hadn't been dirtied as he initially expected.

But the fact that even an insignificant minion dared to refute him just rubbed Amos the wrong way, especially after all the humiliation he had been through just hours ago. "You dumb fuck, did you forget who pulled you up from the position of a little thug in the covert operations subdivision and made you the head here?!"

Knowing how temperamental his boss was, and that he might have pressed his wrong button this time, the man immediately panicked. "N-No, I didn't mean that, sir! I-I just wanted to remind you that it would be less trouble our way if we get rid of her after leaving Phoenix, instead!"

Amos couldn't help but laugh angrily. "Fuck that! What were you doing when I was being taken away by that giant ugly thing earlier, anyway? If you don't give me a good explanation, I don't mind swapping your position with your assistant!"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

While her 'boyfriend' was screeching at and scolding his subordinates, however, Kristie found herself staring at the ceiling in a daze.

It wasn't the first time she was doing this since she had met her 'boyfriend', of course. But this time, the feelings in her heart were completely different from before.

No longer was she full of doubt, fearful of her future, or full of self-conscious and self-deprecating thoughts, no. Instead, for the first time in a long time, she found herself wishing that the sun would rise over the horizon sooner.

After all, tomorrow… she would finally be free.
