But there was an extra hand on her shoulder.
Jasper Yale pressed her down, glanced at her, "Don’t ddle."
Madeline Forest’s face was pale, as if covered in powder. Shawn Thorne deliberately pinched the top of her wound and pressed hard, bright red blood gushed from the dark red hole.
"Ah—" Madeline was in excruciating pain. This beast, is this sothing humans do?
"Master Thorne, spare , let... let go."
Shawn Thorne tutted twice, "Don’t shout, I’m just teasing you, won’t take your life."
Yelena Hughes still wanted to get up, but the hand on her shoulder was heavy, pressing down like a mountain.
"Look at your sister, just had a sauna inside, her skin is so moist, I’ll take you to try it out too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Madeline was frightened and squatted towards the ground, "I don’t want to, save , let go of ."
Shawn Thorne grabbed her arm, just let her struggle, he wanted Yelena Hughes to watch.
Doesn’t she have Jasper Yale protecting her? Fine, let’s let her see for herself the end her sister who risked everything to save her ends up in.
Shawn Thorne wanted to take Madeline Forest to the sauna room when a cold voice floated over, "Stop."
He looked over with interest, "What’s wrong, Mimi, you better not embarrass Young Master Yale in public."
Yelena Hughes cautiously extended a hand and grabbed Jasper Yale’s shirt, "Young Master, take her away too."
"Mud Buddha crossing the river, you can hardly protect yourself," Jasper Yale looked down, Yelena’s hair was sticking to her face as she looked up in plea.
"But I can’t throw her in."
The phrase "cold and ruthless" crept up from all branches and details, finally imprinted on Young Master Yale.
He said, "Saving her isn’t worth it."
These words were spoken from his own mouth, and Jasper Yale did not want to take them back.
He stroked Yelena Hughes’ head, "Master Thorne is indeed a pervert, but when it cos to life and death, he won’t go that far."
At most it’s just a little suffering, but she’ll co out alive overall.
Yelena Hughes’ eyes and lips felt numb, Jasper Yale touched her face again, it was still hot.
"Let’s go." He needed to tidy her up, change her into dry clothes, or else she’d fall ill.
In Jasper Yale’s view, not saving Madeline Forest is normal, he wasn’t interested in her, why waste energy on her?
Yelena Hughes’ heart sank to the bottom, she couldn’t leave.
Madeline pushed her out of the fire pit, and yet she was stepping over her shoulder to leave her there, with no regard to life or death, such logic doesn’t exist.
Shawn Thorne pulled Madeline Forest up, his other hand forcibly wrapped around her shoulder, intending to take her into the sauna room.
Jasper Yale was about to leave, but a figure shot past him rapidly.
Shawn Thorne’s n were all guarded one-on-one, even if they noticed sothing was wrong, they couldn’t get past this human net.
"Master Thorne, be careful!" Soone shouted inside the private room.
Shawn Thorne turned around and saw a dark shadow hurtling towards his forehead, about to strike his head, but it was stopped by Jasper Yale.
Shawn Thorne’s head buzzed, he...
Almost got his head cracked open!
Yelena Hughes was holding a wine bottle, the bottom was thick and sturdy, if she really struck down, he wouldn’t die, but his back of the head would at least have a big gash.
Shawn Thorne’s face turned blue and white, "You!"
Jasper Yale tightly held Yelena Hughes’ wrist, discovering she seed unwilling to give up, her hand still pressing down.
He glanced at her face, seeing a determination he’d never seen before, Jasper Yale tried to lift her hand up. "Alright, let go."
Shawn Thorne took a step back, "You actually dare hit ?"
"When harming others, Master Thorne never considers that a cornered rabbit can bite?"
Shawn Thorne let go of Madeline Forest in his hand, his face cold and stern, Jasper Yale took the wine bottle from Yelena Hughes and tossed it on the ground.
"Hailey Jenkins."
"Yes."
"Take this lady to the hospital first, give her a rabies shot."
Hailey Jenkins strode over, "Yes."
Shawn Thorne’s slender fingers brushed his forehead, "Young Master, you don’t keep your own promises? Face-slapping isn’t like sothing you’d like to do."
Yelena Hughes clenched her fists, pulled behind Jasper Yale. The man was tall, her sight only reached his shoulders, her peripheral vision catching the defined neck veins, each strand of hair with an imposing aura.
"Face-slapping, right? I’m standing right in front of you, do you dare?"
His tone was light, laced with a threatening tune, eyes looking down, black and dismissive of all.
Shawn Thorne cursed, then with a hint of sarcasm said, "Protecting her like this, does Nancy Alden know?"
"You can tell her right now."
Jasper Yale turned and took Yelena Hughes’ hand, Hailey Jenkins followed with Madeline Forest. As they approached the door, Jasper Yale saw the cheongsam hanging on the wall.
He took Yelena Hughes over to it, took a lighter from his pocket and handed it to her.
Yelena Hughes didn’t hesitate, lit the lighter, flas swallowed the hem of the cheongsam, soon slowly burning upwards.
Jasper Yale led her downstairs, "Grab your things, I’ll wait here for you."
Yelena Hughes hurriedly returned to the lounge, didn’t change her clothes, grabbed her bag and headed out.
On the top floor, Shawn Thorne’s n extinguished the fire, his face gloomy, walked to the side to make a call.
"Hello, Miss Alden."
Nancy Alden looked suspicious, "What do you want from ?"
"Young Master asked to find you, he told to let you know he took Yelena Hughes away. Can’t you control him? He already has you, yet he’s competing with for won?"
Nancy Alden’s face tightened, "What are you saying?"
"Just now, he took the woman I was eyeing," Shawn Thorne didn’t ntion he got hit by Jasper Yale, would be humiliating, "He even wanted to fight , as if I touched his precious treasure, isn’t that funny?"
Nancy Alden was almost breathless, called out late at night, as expected it was because of Yelena Hughes.
At the entrance of The Sovereign Club, Hailey Jenkins took Madeline Forest to a car, Yelena Hughes wanted to follow but was stopped by Jasper Yale.
"What are you doing?"
"Madeline is seriously injured, I’m worried."
Jasper Yale appeared impatient, "You want to accompany you to the hospital?"
"I can go follow alone."
Jasper Yale let out a cold laugh, "Yelena Hughes, are you ditching after crossing the bridge?"
She remained silent, the car Madeline was in already left, Jasper Yale pulled her closer, "Are you cold or hot now?"
She couldn’t tell, both cold and hot.
Jasper Yale took her into the car, soon after they drove off, Yelena Hughes’ phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, surprisingly it was Jasper Yale’s number.
Yelena Hughes looked at the man beside her, Jasper Yale’s gaze lowered, also noticing.
"Is it Miss Alden?" she asked softly.
"Mm."
Yelena Hughes wanted to put the phone back, Jasper Yale took it, he actually pressed the answer key.
Yelena Hughes watched him put her phone to his ear, "Hello."
