Chapter 480 You Sure Show No Mercy, Mr Bailey

Under the crowd’s gazes of disbelief, Elise carried the jadeite, which was blood-red from inside out, andled Danny to walk up to Tom.

“Here’s your product, Mr. Shaw.”

Tom couldn’t believe this was actually happening, and he was so afraid that once he spoke, this dreamwould shatter.

Heaving a sigh, Elise walked closer to Tom and snapped her fingers in front of him. “Wake up, Mr. Shaw.This is not a dream. If you still don’t receive this blood jade, we’re going to sneak away with it!”

It was only then did Tom’s tears turn into a smile as he reached out his hands to take over the mineral.

40 pounds was actually not too heavy, but Tom felt as if he was carrying a thousand pounds in his handsas this was the hope and future of the entire Shaw’s Jewelry Co.

Just as he was staring at the jade entrancing his own picture, a slender hand which had a name cardbetween the fingers came into sight. The next second, the fingers parted, causing the name card to fallon the jade. Then, the hand retreated.

Tom lifted his head to see Elise lifting her hand beside her ear and making a calling pose. “Mr. Shaw, thismineral is yours now. As for whether we should continue talking about our business, I’ll wait for your call.”

After saying that, Elise even teased the other jewelry traders. “The amount of jewelry is limited, so theyare first come, first served!”

At once, Tom was heavily surrounded by the traders. At that moment, he was so overjoyed that he didnot even know how to respond.

It had been too long since he received this kind of treatment!

An ore that was bid at 40 million contained blood jade worth several hundred million—this was far morethan a huge return with a small investment.

However, this ‘Miss Anderson’ actually gave it directly to him without even hesitating.

In fact, Tom already had an answer deep down, but since Elise was not in a hurry, he decided to remainreserved first so that both parties could have more time to think it through.

The sky was already dark when Elise left the auction hall. She was in a good mood today, so sheinitiated to be the driver and went for a joyride.

Of course, the task of parking the car naturally fell to her toward the end.

After parking the car, Elise walked leisurely toward the lift while fidgeting with the keys and hummingsongs.

However, not long after she walked away from the car, she heard the sound of footsteps, which wasneither too heavy nor too soft, emerging from behind out of the blue.

“Aghh—”

A man’s miserable wail spread across every corner of the basement car park, which was filled with deadsilence.

With a mere ploy, Elise successfully ambushed the man who was tailing her, and she stepped on himafter seizing him.

As the man was lying on the ground, his face was sandwiched between the floor and Elise’s sole. Next tohis face was his blade which was hit off by Elise. The glistening blade was extremely sharp, butfortunately, the man only cut a few strands of Elise’s hair and did not manage to hurt her.

Elise exerted more force as she stepped on the man. “Tell me, which of my enemies sent you?”

The man’s face was almost distorted while being stepped on by Elise. Cold sweat gathered on his face,but he gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

“Refuse to talk, huh?” Elise’s gaze was drawn to the blade on the ground, and she picked it up aftermerely casting one glance at it.

With her eyes fixed on the man’s shoulder, Elise lifted the blade in her hand calmly and was just about tostab the man when a race car sped toward them and stopped steadily 2 feet away from them.

The posture of Elise and the man was clearly exposed under the headlights of the car as Elise felt hereyes blinded by the lights.

Just then, the driver opened the door and got out of the car. It was only after the man walked closer didElise realize that the person was actually Kenneth.

“I told you we’ll meet again,” Kenneth blurted casually.

“Why are you here?” At that moment, Elise even suspected that this fellow was tailing her.

“This is my hotel, so why can’t I be here?” After saying that with a smile, Kenneth ignored Elise’sdespising stare and turned to look at the man beneath her foot.

“Miss Sinclair, are you thinking of carrying out an illegal execution in my hotel?” Kenneth asked.

“Can’t I?” Remaining still, Elise placed her hand, which was holding the blade, on her bent knee andswayed it. She narrowed her eyes and had a mischievous idea. “By the way, Mr. Bailey, I’m staying inyour hotel but I was attacked by someone in the car park and even nearly lost my life. Shouldn’t you beresponsible for this?”

“Of course, I should.” Kenneth smiled. “I wonder if Miss Sinclair is hurt anywhere and if I should arrangefor a doctor immediately.”

“That’s unnecessary. I just lost a few strands of hair.” Elise was used to being casual already, so sheblurted those words. However, she immediately thought something was not right, so she quickly changedher statement. “But! Our body is a precious gift from our parents, so even minor injuries ought to betaken seriously. Don’t you even think of taking this lightly!”

“Ah, I see… so you lost a few strands of hair…” Kenneth lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

She’s such an agile fighter, yet she still lost a few strands of hair. This shows how brutal the man on thefloor is, and he’s obviously targeting to take her life. Since that’s the case—

Kenneth’s eyes turned cold at once and he gave off a murderous aura when he lifted his head again.Seeing that, Elise was stunned.

By the time she regained her composure, Kenneth had already taken the blade from her.

With that, the gleaming blade passed by Elise’s face and in the next second, the man on the floorscreamed in agony.

Without wasting his breath, Kenneth stabbed the knife into the man’s thigh. Holding the handle of theblade, he twisted the blade in the man’s flesh.

“Aghh—I’ll tell! I’ll tell you! I wanted to kidnap you and get the blood jade as a ransom.” The man cameclean at once.

Even Elise couldn’t help frowning at the cruel scene.

However, she still remained rational and scowled coldly. “Who sent you?!”

“I-It’s Faye Anderson. She sent me. Please stop twisting already… Please stop…”

The big guy who remained stubborn just now started whining in pain. He looked extremely pathetic withhis tears, snivel, and sweat all mixed up.

Holding the knife, Kenneth lifted his head slowly to look at Elise. “Are you satisfied now?”

For some reason, Elise actually thought Kenneth was not that despicable anymore.

“Mm-hmm.” Elise nodded in a daze.

Hearing that, Kenneth smiled at her before standing up steadily. Following that, the man on the floor letout another miserable wail again when Kenneth pulled out the blade as he stood up.

“Tsk.” Elise’s nose twitched as she derided, “You sure show no mercy, Mr. Bailey.”

“This is the price he should pay for damaging your hair, Miss Sinclair.” Kenneth looked into Elise’s eyeswith a faint smile. Then, he casually threw the blade aside, pulled out a handkerchief from his suit, andstuffed it into Elise’s hand.

“Wipe your hand. Next time, just leave the rough ones to the guys. These situations are very… filthy. Youmay leave anytime, Miss Sinclair. I’ll inform someone to come and clean the mess.”

Elise stared at the handkerchief in her hand and had an indescribable feeling.

‘Leave the rough ones to the guys.’

Alexander had said similar words before.

Why do I feel like there’s something similar between them? Could it be my illusion?

Kenneth gulped uncontrollably as he stared at Elise’s perplexed look.

At this point, he actually forgot his current identity as he stretched his arms behind Elise and held herhead close to his. Then, he pressed his lips against hers.

Elise broke away from Kenneth in just one second and gave the latter a loud slap on his face, whichcaused his face to turn to the other side.
