Chapter 79 Jaydon took a big sip of alcohol, thinking it could numb his aching heart. However, it only intensified the pain in his heart. The homemade liquor in this village was like a blade. It sliced through his organs, and the sharp agony roared like an injured beast, tearing his heart into pieces. He complained in his heart, ‘She doesn’t want our child. Even if there’s one, she’ll get rid of it. In her eyes, am I really worth nothing? At least we spent 14 years together, and in the end, all that remains in her heart is that I’m the bad guy! In the room behind Jaydon, five or six people stood at the doorway, watching and discussing him. They admired his drinking capacity and marveled at his exceptionally handsome appearance. However, they did not know whether he was Eskanese or a foreigner. The only thing they were sure of was that he was an extremely wealthy man, as the money he pulled out was all 20-dollar bills. Meanwhile, Alita waited for Kim to answer the phone. She walked to the door, looked around to ensure no one was eavesdropping, and then closed it. At the same time, someone picked up the phone on the other end. “Is this Alita?” The slightly excited voice of Kim sounded.. “Yes, it’s me, Kim. I saw the news about you canceling the engagement with Annabel. Congratulations, you’ve made the right choice,” Alita’s tone was gentle, and there was no need for animosity between them now. “Since you’ve already left, why should I stay there? I tried calling you a few days ago, but your phone was off. Where are you now? I’ll come to find you.” Kim’s tone was warmer than before. He couldn’t wait to be by her side, holding her hand tightly, never letting go. They had lost too many years Getting to the point, Alita’s expression changed slightly, “Kim, I need your help now. I’m trapped by Jaydon in a small village, and I can’t get out.” “What?” Kim’s expression instantly turned cold. “Did he find you? How did he find you? Where exactly are you?”
He definitely could not let Jaydon snatch her away again. I’ll explain in detail later. Right now, I’m in a remote village. I’ll send you the address via text. Can you come? Cars can’t reach here. Can you ride a motorcycle?” Alita asked anxiously. “Don’t worry. Send me the detailed address, and I promise I’ll get you out. Keep your phone on, and we’ll stay in touch,” Kim said calmly. His reassuring tone helped her calm down. “Okay, I’ll send it to you. Waiting for your good news.” “Okay!” Kim sensed she was about to hang up. He had more to say, so he quickly stopped her. “Wait a moment.” Alita placed the phone back to her ear. “Is there anything else?” “Alita, stay where you are. Don’t run around alone. I promise I can bring you back to our world, the world that belongs to us,” he said with a heart full of warmth and hope. Alita fell silent for a moment before responding with a faint smile. “Okay.” After hanging up the phone, she sighed, feeling a touch of melancholy. She couldn’t respond to Kim anymore, and it saddened her to think of his plight.
Meanwhile, back at the Lewis family estate, things had been uneasy since evening. Numerous black business cars continuously departed, filled with imposing figures dressed in black, wearing sunglasses regardless of the weather. These were the elite bodyguards, all originating from special forces. In the past, they only followed orders from Mike, but now, they obeyed only Jaydon. Samuel observed all of this. What were they doing in secret? It must be something significant for them to mobilize so many people. His sharp gaze grew increasingly intense. During dinner, everyone had gathered except for Jaydon. Then, a sense of unease struck Samuel, prompting him to stand up and head outside. The others exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak. With 20% of the shares in his possession, Samuel held the greatest authority in the Lewis family after Jaydon. Though everyone felt resentful, they didn’t dare to offend him. Fortunately, he didn’t turn hostile and remained as
gentle as before, Samuel went outside and immediately drove away from the Lewis family estate. He took out a tablet, turned it on, and followed the navigation instructions displayed to reach his destination. The last time he visited the hotel to find Alita, he noticed her suitcase on the side. Seizing the opportunity when she wasn’t looking, he planted a tracker on it. Thus, even if she escaped to the ends of the earth, she would remain within his control. Following her final location, it seemed to be a small village. Initially, Samuel intended to let Alita enjoy a few days of freedom before going to find her. Now, it appeared that Jaydon bad already located her. Samuel did not know if it was too late to rush over now. This time, he admitted it was his negligence. As the car sped along the road, his face turned stern and grim. Meanwhile, Alita paced around the room. Half an hour had passed, and she wasn’t sure if Kim had set out. Her stomach rumbled loudly, reminding her of her hunger. She had only had mushroom soup for lunch. Seeing the peaches on the ground, she decided not to waste them. She picked one up, peeled off the skin, and sat on a s stool eat. The peaches had been smashed into a mushy texture, and the taste wasn’t great. Alita thought if it weren’t for the arrival of that scoundrel Jaydon, she wouldn’t have used peaches to hit him, wouldn’t have missed dinner, and wouldn’t be gnawing mushy peaches. Everything was all because of Jaydon’s fault. Encountering him was bound to bring trouble. She took a bite with force to vent her frustration. Her teeth hit the peach pit forcefully, almost as if she would break her incisors. Meanwhile, Jaydon was lying on the table in the yard, murmuring to himself, “Alita, you can’t escape. If you want to run. away, I’ll chain you up. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to go
anywhere, not allowed to go anywhere… He had arranged everything, so it was impossible for her to escape. At 9 o’clock, the Lewis family’s bodyguards arrived in the village They were clad in black suits, riding motorcycles, and well- trained. They entered the village like marching soldiers from the formidable Efren, startling the villagers. They efficiently made their way to the yard where Jaydon was located, forming two rows on either side. With respect and uniformity, they called out, “Mr. Lewis.” Jaydon sobered up a bit, supporting himself on the table and sitting upright. “Go and tie up that woman. Bring her to me.”
“Yes, Mr. Lewis!” Two people quickly left, heading towards the outside. The phone vibrated, and Alita felt a wave of excitement. It must be a text message from Kim. She took out her phone to check. Just as she was about to open the message, the door suddenly burst open. She quickly put her phone back into her pocket. Two tall men in black walked in, and she immediately recognize them as the ‘guard dogs” raised by the Lewis family. The two men approached Alita, respectfully saying, “Mrs. Lewis, please come with us.” “Who is Mrs. Lewis? Don’t you have any brains? Even if not, you should have some memory, I have no relationship with Mr. Lewis anymore.” Alita maintained a cold and sharp attitude. The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, and one of them said, Miss Thompson, please come with us. We are just following orders. If you refuse to cooperate, we will have to take coercive measures.” “Do you realize that you are committing a crime?” Alita looked at them, attempting to buy some time. Without further words, the two men tacitly restrained her arms and forcibly dragged her out of the house. “Let go of me, can’t you hear? Take your hands off me. I’ll walk by myself. Alita struggled, speaking
furiously. The two men paid no attention, ignoring her struggles and words. Their only focus was to follow orders without the slightest
Meanwhile, Samuel had arrived in the small town. Unfamiliar with the area, and since cars couldn’t enter the small village. he got out of the car and asked a local to guide him. Alita was brought into the courtyard, surrounded by curious villagers. Jaydon sat there like a king, a table full of alcohol indicating he had consumed quite a bit, though he didn’t appear drunk. “Come here.” Jaydon waved at her. Alita stood still as the two men pushed her toward him, restraining her beside him. Jaydon reached out and pulled her waist, looking at her with a drunken gaze, affectionately calling. “Honey” “I’m no longer your wife. Please don’t create trouble out of nowhere. I’ve given you 50% of the shares and made way for you and Cecilia. I don’t understand what else you’re unhappy or dissatisfied about.” Alita couldn’t comprehend what he was thinking. Perhaps, due to the divorce being her initiative, it hurt his noble pride, leading him not to let her go. “Unhappy. I’m very unhappy.” Jaydon waved his hand, caressing her cheek. “Because I don’t want you to leave. I’ve gotten used to having you around. Without you, I feel the room is frighteningly empty. Honey, don’t go, okay?” His mouth reeked of alcohol, and his strange humility indicated he was drunk. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such words. Jaydon’s words brought waves of sadness to Alita’s heart. Did one have to wait until they lost something to realize they couldn’t let it go? He was used to having her around, but when she was there, he didn’t cherish it.
“I’m sorry! What I’ve decided won’t change. Just like when you decided to take my shares and let me go, it’s over. Don’t entangle with me anymore. Habits will fade, and memories will disappear from your mind.” Alita had been close to his warmth before but couldn’t and didn’t want to now.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Being too close to him only led to deeper wounds. If she stayed away from his world, she wouldn’t get hurt. She would not repeat the same mistake! Then, her phone in her pocket vibrated again. Alita was startled, and her body tensed. She assumed Kim sent another message, seeing that she hadn’t responded. “What’s that sound Although Jaydon was drunk, he remained alert.
