Chapter 239 – You Don’t Believe Me
“We’re not doing anything, we’re just asking you to stay here a little longer and talk.” Moore Howard’s mind still kept people guessing.
Blanche Capra sneered, “Inviting me to chat, I don’t seem to have anything to chat about with you, I don’t have time to kill time with you guys here, let me leave.”
Moore Howard was noncommittal, he smiled and signaled Lorcan George behind her with his eyes as if giving him the initiative.
Blanche Capra turned and she looked at Lorcan George, painfully aware that although she had put words in her mouth, she still couldn’t leave the last ten years or so of her friendship behind in one fell swoop.
She couldn’t let Lorcan George stay with Moore Howard any longer, it was only a matter of time before he turned into that kind of man, cruel, cold-blooded, like a snake always hunting for food.
Holding on to a little hope, Blanche Capra asked Lorcan George, “You don’t want to work with the likes of Moore Howard, he’s a madman who will do anything to get what he wants, is that what you want to become?”
She reaches out and grabs Lorcan George’s arm and shakes him, trying to shake him out of it, but it’s impossible, Lorcan George’s eyes have changed, and when he looks at her his eyes are nothing but empty, staring into the abyss.
Nothing but vengeance could wake him up now.
Blanche Capra had seen that persuasion was not working and had given up on that, but how could she not be worried, there had to be another way to get him back to his old self.
Just not right now for a while.
Moore Howard gave the order for his men to take Blanche Capra away, “Since you don’t want to chat, as your former partner, I certainly won’t give you a hard time, and I’ll remind you that this won’t be the last time.”
And Lorcan George just watched, not reacting at all, or more to the point, still complicit.
Still, he wasn’t desperate enough for her, and he made it a point to have a few of his men follow him, so that if Moore Howard’s men tried to hurt Blanche Capra, they’d have to step in just in time.
“Never let Blanche Capra get hurt okay?”
“Yes.”
With that Blanche Capra was forcibly removed from THE George family, they shoved her into the car, Moore Howard was not in this car, her heart was beating so fast she thought she was done for.
Luckily it was a false alarm, Lorcan George’s men temporarily took her from Moore Howard, they dropped her off in front of THE Charlie family villa and pushed her out of the car roughly.
“Damn it, I’ll deal with you guys later.” Blanche Capra got up from the ground with a bit of a fluke in her indignant eyes, it was a good thing she hadn’t been kidnapped or she didn’t know what the rest of her life would be like.
After organizing her clothes, Blanche Capra entered the Charlie family villa.
The maid was worried when she saw her come back so late with her injuries, “What are you doing again-”
“Never mind that much, you don’t tell York Charlie about me, he’s upset enough as it is.” She didn’t want to cause him any more trouble.
“Yes.”
“I’d like to take a shower.”
“The hot water is already running for you.” Blanche Capra returned to the room at this point.
…
In the spacious office, the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were drawn, and York Charlie was at his desk, working overtime.
In the past few days, the George family had become restless again, and tried to steal his business partners, while also sounding out and looking for people to attack the Charlie Group’s system, if not for York Charlie’s early reminder, it would have caused a panic again.
Lorcan George is determined to fight against him, York Charlie is no longer polite, cut off the George family two orders.
Since he couldn’t suppress Moore Howard, he would suppress Lorcan George.
His busy schedule had prevented him from seeing Blanche Capra for the past few days, and out of concern, he’d gotten an informant to keep him posted on her condition.
As soon as the phone rang, with a quick sweep of narrowed eyes, York Charlie picked up the phone with an expressionless face.
“Miss Capra seems to be enjoying going out for afternoon tea these days and coming back late in the evening, talking about being bored in the morning and going out after breakfast.”
“Any footage of her going out for afternoon tea?” York Charlie frowned, Blanche Capra had a million reasons to lie.
“No, but did film her going to THE George family’s cottage in the evening and later getting into Moore Howard’s car.”
York Charlie frowned, what was she doing there?
“I see, keep watching.” Hanging up the phone, York Charlie looked at the table full of documents still waiting for him to handle, his mood became more and more irritated, he simply suspended his work.
Walking out of the office, the secretary came up and asked, “President Charlie, where are you going?”
He coldly glanced at the secretary, his thin lips lightly spat out two words, “Going home.”
“Okay …”
Why does it feel like he’s going to kill someone …
Blanche Capra, on her side, hadn’t expected York Charlie to return and was still soaking in the tub, letting her head go.
The heat steams and the smoke is enchanting.
Blanche Capra leaned back and put her hands on the edge of the tub.
She’s still looking for the people involved in that accident with THE Russell family.
York Charlie wouldn’t understand, and even then, she wouldn’t stop.
“Knock knock.”
A sudden knock on the door startled Blanche Capra, and she asked in alarm, “Who is it?”
“Who else could it be,” York Charlie frowned, feeling more and more that Blanche Capra’s recent trajectory was off.
Blanche Capra glared at the figure on the fogged glass, “Got it, I’m on my way.”
Not having time to dry off, she wrapped a towel around her and headed out.
As soon as she opened the door, she landed in York Charlie’s arms.
Smelling the fragrance of her hair, his heart settled a little.
“Blanche, you seem to be in and out a little too much lately.” York Charlie asked her before carrying her to the bed.
Blanche Capra’s sensitive nerves were easily piqued as she angrily pushed York Charlie’s embrace away, her hand pressed against his chest, her pouty cherry lips tinged with dissatisfaction, “You suspect me?”
“I was just asking.”
“It’s not okay to ask, if you really don’t believe me, just tie me to your side, I didn’t do anything to wrong you.”
She even went to intercede with Lorcan George for York Charlie, what a good intention to be treated like a donkey.
York Charlie saw that she reacted so violently, it was still hard to dispel her doubts, “Then tell me, what have you been doing these days?”
He sat up, wrapping one hand around her slender waist and gently cupping her chin with the other.
The towel had long since fallen to the ground in a tangle.
Blanche Capra still had that same tough-guy attitude, “If you don’t trust me, just tie me down instead.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“I’d like to do that if I could.” He did think that was a good offer.
“You-”
Blanche Capra was just about to crack up when York Charlie sealed her lips with his, his kiss almost taking her breath away.
Blanche Capra’s mind suddenly flashed back to the image of Lorcan George forcing a kiss on her, and the strange look on his face frightened her, her best friend of many years.
She no longer knew Lorcan George.
York Charlie released her lips and noticed Blanche Capra’s eyes drifting, obviously preoccupied, he frowned, “The kiss seemed to remind you of something.”
A sentence full of sarcasm.
Blanche Capra dislikes him angrily, “Can’t I have a mind of my own? Besides, you don’t know what I’m thinking, so don’t look like I’ve done you wrong.”
Blanche Capra made to break away from him and York Charlie wrapped his arms around her tightly, not giving her a chance.
“What the hell do you mean? It’s not like you trust me, and you won’t let go of me.”
She was already giving him a hard time.
York Charlie pressed against her heart, listening to her heartbeat, “I’m just afraid you’ll be taken from me.”
Blanche Capra gave him a rub to the back of her eyes, and as soon as her body went limp, she couldn’t do anything with him.
Reaching up, she hooked her hand around his neck, “Forget it.”
York Charlie kissed her again.
