Chapter 7

Miles Hamilton's lips moved, but he didn't dare make a sound, just clung tightly to the car window, his clear eyes fixed on the direction of the Diamond Club, the worry in his eyes almost overflowing. Chu Chu was still inside, he didn't know if Chu Chu had been mistreated, didn't know if his departure would lead Chu Chu to suffer further harm.She thought，， but she didn't know, in the shadows of the rear seat that she couldn't see, lifted his eyelids and lightly waved a hand at his subordinate beside him. The subordinate understood immediately and silently pushed open the car door, turned around, and walked quickly toward the club. His figure soon disappeared into the night.As her subordinates left, the car roared to life violently, its engine noise shattering the silence. Miles Hamilton watched the silhouette of the club gradually shrink, from clear to blurry, until it completely vanished from her sight, her heart as if torn away, hurting her almost to the point of unable to breathe. She slowly moved away from the car window, sitting in her seat with her head lowered, her shoulders trembling slightly, her face filled with frustration and helplessness.She was saved, but what about Chu Chu? She couldn't even take care of herself, what could she possibly do for Chu Chu? saved her, but only because she looked like the woman named Wang Xiang. How could he possibly bother to save an insignificant Chu Chu? An endless tide of guilt and worry overwhelmed her.Bryce Kendall Pickman, who stood beside him, remained silent throughout, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed in meditation, exuding an aura of "keep away from me," as if Miles Hamilton beside him were just a puff of air. His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the rim of his cup, and in his eyes lay a complexity he himself hadn’t noticed— he had saved Miles Hamilton because she resembled Wang Xiang; but what was the reason for sending someone to save that girl named Chu Chu? Perhaps, it was just that he didn’t want to see Miles Hamilton looking disheveled and disturbed his peace.The Diamond Club now, Ye Chuchu was lying desesperately on the sofa, trembling all over. The man with a greasy face was approaching her with a snarl, his rough hand already reaching for her skirt hem. The slap mark on her face was clearly visible, blood from the corner of her mouth trickling down her jaw, looking utterly miserable. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, tears slipping silently down, with only one thought left in her mind: she was finished.Just as the man's hand was about to touch her, "Bang!" the door was kicked open violently! A man in black walked in expressionlessly, followed by Jedidiah Hicks with a respectful face. The man froze instantly, the fierce look on his face instantly turning into annoyance, glaring at the door: "Jedidiah Hicks, what do you mean? Daring to interrupt my business?"Jaden Hicks didn't even give her a glance, bowing his head humbly to the man in black: "This is someone from Young Master Lu's entourage, here to take this young lady away."“Lu Shao?” The man trembled all over, the anger on his face instantly dissolving, replaced by deep apprehension. Though he wasn’t a big shot, he knew the status of Bryce Kendall Pickman in S City—someone who held absolute power and was beyond reproach. Not to mention just a woman, even if he were forced to kneel and apologize on the spot, he wouldn’t dare utter a word of complaint.The man quickly got up from Ye Chu Chu, didn't have time to straighten his clothes, and respectfully moved to the side with a smiling face: "Please go ahead, please go ahead."Ye Chuchu's eyes snapped open, filled with astonishment and disbelief. Boss Lu? She didn't know any Boss Lu, but she knew, she had been saved! She quickly got up, frantically tugging at the exposed skirt on her body, tightly covering her chest with her arms, afraid of being exposed.Let's go. The man in black didn't even look at her wound or disheveled appearance, turning around with an icy tone. Ye ChuChu didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, quickly following in his footsteps, her steps yet determined—she couldn't be left here again, not at all!The man in black didn't turn back but quietly slowed his pace. His task was to bring back Ye Chu Chu, and if he lost the person, even with ten lives, wouldn't be enough for Bryce Kendall Pickman to deal with.On the other side, Miles Hamilton sat in the car, watching the scenery rushing past the window, her unease growing stronger. The car had been driving for nearly an hour, and she had no idea where Bryce Kendall Pickman was taking her, let alone dared to ask. She quietly turned her head, glancing at the Bryce Kendall Pickman.I have to say,'s looks are worthy of the title of S City's First Young Master. His features are deep and refined, and even when he's just sitting quietly, he exudes a powerful aura that is enough to make countless women adore him. But as Miles Hamilton looks at him, only fear and awe fill his heart, not a trace of admiration.In her heart, there has always been only one person—Reed Coleman. The man who protected her for five years, grew up with her, was beaten severely for her sake, and is still lying in the hospital bed today. Her brother Reed is her light, the person she will do everything to protect.Bryce Kendall Pickman had already noticed her gaze, but he didn't scold her. Unlike the greed and obsession in the eyes of other women, Miles Hamilton's eyes only held fear, worry, and a faint, imperceptible stubbornness, which made him inexplicably concerned for her. He frowned slightly, keeping his eyes closed and not saying a word.After driving for another twenty minutes, the car finally stopped. Miles Hamilton looked up and saw before him a magnificent villa, built on a hillside, brilliantly lit, like a fairy tale castle—the Ranshan Villa, one of the most top-tier private villas in S City, rumored to be the private residence of Bryce Kendall Pickman."Sir." Just as the car came to a stop, a butler in neat attire quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to, who was pushing the car door open. gave a faint "Hmm" and walked straight ahead without so much as a pause.Miles Hamilton tugged at the exposed skirt on her body, her cheeks flushing as she cautiously pushed open the car door and followed. When the butler's gaze fell upon her, a noticeable surprise flashed in his eyes—he had been with Bryce Kendall Pickman for so many years and had never seen him bring a woman back to the villa, let alone at such a late hour.The butler's gaze, though quick, was still caught by Miles Hamilton. She felt extremely uncomfortable, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her skirt, her head lowered even lower, her cheeks burning, wishing she could find a hole to hide in. She stood there helplessly, neither daring to follow Bryce Kendall Pickman nor turning around to leave, caught in a dilemma.
