Even having been trampled on like this, Yvette didn't so much as let out a yelp. She continued to work out of her binds. She had to figure out a way to leave or she would be further humiliated by him.
That was simply not on!
Watching her writhe on the ground, Landon started to laugh hysterically. He felt a surge of pleasure fill his heart.
At this time, the plans he had for her were getting more and more twisted. It was thrilling.
Not a moment after, Yvette's expression shifted and she muttered, "You must have a death wish!"
......
"Huff! Huff!"
Patricia panted as she ran. Fear still lingered in the back of her mind, but it was alright now. She was fine now as she had been spared from Landon's humiliation. The Dawson family was now going to be left alone as well. It seemed that her decision to take refuge with Chuck was the right one to make.
She looked back. Yvette was definitely unable to escape this time. Landon must have started torturing her by now. Patricia was somewhat in a bind about this but at least she was safe now, wasn't she?
Yvette was paid to do this. In order to make money, she had to bear risks like these. She must have been aware of this, so why was Patricia still worried about her?
Patricia's own safety was the priority now.
She was ready to leave with peace in mind. She decided that she would take a nice bath and put on a facial mask when she got home. She had been badly beaten up today. She had to treat her face properly to restore her features.
However, she suddenly heard a loud rumble at that moment. She looked up at the sound and was stunned.
A helicopter had just flown over her. It flew so fast, literally blowing everyone nearby away in surprise.
"Heavens, it's a helicopter! It's a high-end one as well! It must cost millions!" someone yelled.
"Yeah, it's so cool. Let's take photos of it quickly and put them up online! I can't believe I saw a helicopter today! Amazing..." another commented.
All the onlookers who saw it quickly snapped photos as it flew by. This kind of helicopter was obviously a rich person's toy. Everyone was curious as well. Who did it belong to?
Someone from the Four Greatest Households, perhaps?
Patricia couldn't even keep her eyes open long enough to watch. The helicopter landed right on the parking lot! Two people stepped out of the helicopter, a man and a woman.
When Patricia saw them, she was pleasantly surprised and breathed a sigh of relief. Did Chuck fly all the way here just for her?
Patricia felt a bit blown away by that. After all, Chuck had more money than the Allen family, but did he really fly in for her in the middle of the night? Surely, no one else had received this kind of treatment before.
What did Chuck see in her?
To tell the truth, his appearance in this kind of situation made Patricia feel slightly conceited. it felt like she had been praised by her boss in front of the whole company. It felt good to be the center of everyone's attention.
Patricia knew that Chuck was different from Landon. Landon was a pervert, while Chuck was an entrepreneur.
Patricia walked up to them eventually. She had made up her mind and would make it clear to her family soon. Then, she would work for Chuck for five years.
After all, she had to repay him for his efforts.
"Mr. Cannon..." Patricia called as she walked over. Chuck looked both anxious and indifferent. She couldn't believe that this was all for her sake.
At this moment, Patricia felt at the top of the world.
"Did you leave alone?" Chuck scowled when he saw the palm print on Patricia's face.
"Yes. After Landon caught me, I mentioned you. He let me go right away!" Patricia said while admiring Chuck a little. When would she possess Chuck's capabilities?
"Never mind that. Where's my wife?" Chuck asked impatiently.
"Your wife?" Patricia asked in return, dumbfounded. Who was Chuck's wife?
"Mr. Cannon, who's your wife?" Patricia was actually confused. Did Chuck come here for his wife? So, it wasn't for her sake?
"Her name's Yvette Jordan," Chuck answered.
"Who?" Patricia didn't recognize the name but she suddenly thought of something. Didn't Blood Leopard mention that her husband's surname was also Cannon?
Could it be that Blood Leopard's husband was Chuck? Patricia wondered in absolute surprise.
How was this possible?
Patricia couldn't understand this at all. Knowing Chuck's status, he could wed any woman he wanted! Why would his wife come out and work as an assassin anyway? She wouldn't have to work to protect people in exchange for money.
"She's the woman who was with you. Is she still in there?" Chuck asked coldly.
He thought furiously, "Landon Allen, you're courting death!"
Patricia's face turned red in embarrassment at this point. Was his wife being beaten up by Landon as they spoke?
She uttered, "But I came with Blood Leopard. Mr. Cannon, are you mistaken? Hey, Mr. Cannon, Mr..." Chuck didn't want to listen to her anymore and started sprinting into the hospital!
Betty followed closely behind.
Patricia wanted to clarify this matter with him, but Chuck had completely ignored her. When she caught up with him, she accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. She sat on the floor, confounded.
