– The police finally arrives.
Henry got rid of the entanglement glanced at Telix who was lying on the ground, and did not come forward to help. Instead, he came straight over to untie the rope for me
“Are you hurt. Drielle? Did they injure you?”
Henry’s voice came into my ears as if through a layer of fog, because I couldn’t hear it clearly at all.
That the scene of Felix and Henry fighting off the gooms, searching for fire extinguishers in the building, and then putting away the fire played like a film before my eyes. My brain refused to work properly as it was stuck on a point.
“How the bell did Telix reach here?
The emergency device had a few numbers stored in it; I added my security staff’s numbers besides my brother’s. Then how dal become so stupid and add Felix’s number to ?
Like, what was I even thinking?
It wasn’t that he would care whether I was alive or not, calling him for help was bound to end up in no good. Then my old fantasies about him made mesolve the mystery eventually, where I was used to imagining that one day. Felix would change his ways and care for me.
Is that the way it is? But not for me, but for Drielle Becker,
“Jesus,
, you are hurt. You need immediate medical attention.”
The bleeding wound on my hand was the result of my protective shield from a blow, the sight of blood worried him.
After the police took the kidnapper away, Felix lay on the ground by himself.
He seemed to look in our direction, but I looked away
I didn’t breathe a sigh of r
of relief until the ambulance took him away. I can’t tell what I feel now
We were taken to the same ward. I was wrapped up like a mummy, and so was Felix. It was a funny scene, two mummies
“Thank you, emm, how did you Never mind, thank you anyway.”
Part of me felt that this was retribution for what Felix had done before, but I couldn’t be sormal. This time he really paid a price for saving me.

But it was the least of my problems, as Felix’s keen gaze was fixed on us. He was observing the diteraction between me and my brother. Henry was behaving like a caring partner after seeing me in trouble.
Teyed him to hold his hutses and behave normally, arousing Fela’s suspicion would be fatal for my plan. As for the record, he knew that Henry was protective about has younger sister. Given that Felix had tested me before, our relationship would make it obvious that we had blood ties with each other. It wouldn’t be long until a genius like Felix joined the dots and realized that we were plotting against him.
However, the panic affected Henry’s brain efficiency as well. I shot him a look again, but he didn’t get it. Instead, he asked me foolishly.
“Is your eye twitching, Drielle?”
Oh my gosh!
So embarrassing!
I wanted to facepalm myself, as there was op place to hide my flushed face. Henry’s idiocy left me speechless.
Luckily, the police arrived at the scene, diverting everyone’s attention. They arrested the goons and confiscated the cameras. My belongings were returned to me as well
I sighed in relief and yanked my hand away halfway through the bandage, gritting my teeth.
“Why are you trying to broadcast to the world that we are a couple, Henry?”
Rolling my eyes, I shook my head as it finally dawned at Henry.
“Oh. I
No wonder you were ignoring me earlier.”
Thated to say it, but duh!
What else could
reason?
Although Henry was a successful businessman, the true heir of the Marlove family, his exemplary conduct made me suspect his matchless abilities now. Despite being a sharp minded person, he took so long to catch the gist of the problem.
He grabbed my hand to handage it and chuckled.
“And I thought that the kidnappers hit your head so hard that your eye started twitching. I got scared“”
That’s enough! Stop being stupid. Please be careful with your disguise when you go in.
acted like a spoiled child and lost my temper with my brother for the first tune in a long time. Henry agreed, lifting the corners of his lips,
