Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 1075–Don’t Save Me
After Suella was assaulted, she blacked out in an instant.
Under the light, Stenson put on a wicked smile. “She’s such a beauty with delicate skin. What are you waiting for? Take her away!”
“Yes.”
Several of his subordinates carried Suella and shuffled toward the dock.
Then, Stenson approached Maverick and patted his shoulder. “Thanks, buddy. If there’s more good stuff like this, don’t forget to contact me.”
Maverick looked at his shoulder where the man had patted and moved away to widen the gap between them. “Don’t mention it. As long as this woman doesn’t appear in front of me again, I’ll look after the Hellen Family’s business.”
“You know I’m a reliable person. I’ll sell this woman to a faraway place and make sure she won’t come back to harass you.”
Stenson then squinted his eyes and said meaningfully, “When you take over the Abbott Family’s business one day, I hope you won’t forget about our friendship.”
He didn’t have to be present since they were only trying to capture someone, and he was only there to let Maverick know that the Hellens weren’t just helping him deal with this issue for the money but also for their friendship. After all, Maverick was Camren’s future son-in-law.
Since both parties were on good terms, the Hellens would no longer face any obstacles when expanding their business to Cittadel once Maverick took over the Abbott Family’s business.
“Even if I forget about it, I’m sure you’ll give me a reminder, won’t you?” Maverick’s lips curved into a sneer.
He knew what Stenson was like. Once he asked him for help, it was hard to get rid of him. Nevertheless, he didn’t have a choice. If he wanted to get rid of Suella without inviting any trouble, he needed the Hellens’ help.
“I’m glad you understand, Mr. Taylor.”
Stenson put on a smug smile. He was glad that he was now friends with a person who had the potential to become powerful in the future. Nonetheless, he didn’t want to go overboard. He took a look at the luxury car in the distance and said tactfully, “I’m sure Miss Abbott can’t wait to see you. I’ll leave you two alone. Bye.”
With that, he turned around and boarded a speedboat, after which he left the place with his subordinates and Suella under the dark sky.
Maverick’s gaze lingered on them until they were out of sight. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and entered his car.
While in the driver’s seat, he recalled what happened earlier and appeared excited. He turned to Rylantha and forced her to face him with one hand before landing a forceful kiss on her lips.
“Damn it! What are you doing?” An irritated Rylantha pushed him away and wiped her lips. “I’m warning you—my father hates the Hellens, so you mustn’t come into contact with them again.”
“Sure.” An elated Maverick felt aroused as he snuck his hand between the woman’s thighs. “Babe, no one will come between us again. Why don’t we celebrate the occasion?”
“We’d better not.” Rylantha still didn’t feel comfortable with the man’s touch, but she was overwhelmed with pleasure and started panting shortly after.
…
When Zephyr left the basement the next evening, he received a video call from Yosef.
Instantly, he recalled Matthew talking about the person both of them trusted. Without hesitation, he picked up the call and faced the screen.
When the call was connected, he saw a room with several paintings on the wall and a red cabinet.
Zephyr looked attentively at the interior. If their plan didn’t work out in the end, these details would help him locate the person that Matthew had captured.
Soon, the other party started moving the phone. The next moment, Zephyr saw Yosef and a woman in a wheelchair.
The woman was clad in a black top, a loose-fitting dress, and a pair of sneakers. Her jet-black hair hung loose on her shoulders, and there was a lace headband embroidered with floral and bird patterns around her forehead, which made her look Bohemian.
She had delicate facial features, and her demeanor was noble and classy. Like a lily, she was pure and elegant.
Nonetheless, her face was as pale as a white sheet, and her body looked thin and fragile. For that reason, she could easily arouse anyone’s pity.
“Look. The woman you care so much about is right here.” Matthew’s voice was heard over the phone, and he was probably the one holding the device.
Yosef turned to look at the screen and waved his hand before saying to Zephyr with a smile, “It’s me. I’ve checked on her and confirmed that she’s fine. You can rest assured now.”
After a pause, he shifted his attention to the woman beside him and said softly, “Zephyr is looking at us, Maisie. Say something so that he’ll stop worrying.”
The woman looked up at the screen. Her gaze was initially calm, but there was a hint of sorrow at that moment.
Her expression seemed to be signaling for the man not to save her.
As though realizing something, she merely looked in that direction in silence. Regardless of how Yosef urged her, she refused to speak.
Zephyr understood the emotion behind her gaze. He balled up his fists as his knuckles cracked. His eyes reddened while he gritted his teeth.
She was the closest person to him in the world, so how could he let her die?
Since the woman refused to say anything, an impatient Matthew turned the camera around to face him and said, “As you can see, she’s doing great. I’ve never mistreated her. I hope you’ll be ready by the time I return to Wegas.”
With that, he hung up the call, giving Zephyr no chance to say anything.
After keeping the phone in his pocket, Matthew told Yosef to leave the place with him. “Come with me. There’s something I need to tell you.”
“Get some rest, Maisie. I’ll visit again.”
Yosef pretended to be friendly and left the place.
After they were gone, the heavy door closed behind them, leaving the woman inside the secret room on her own.
The woman remained in the same spot for a moment before managing to calm herself down. Then, she turned the wheelchair around and returned to her bedroom.
Just then, the door swung open again as a slim figure barged in.
When their eyes met, Narissa couldn’t help widening her eyes as she was awestruck by the woman’s beauty.
Other than Elise, the person before her eyes was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
Elise was unwavering and feisty while this woman was gentle and fragile. A woman like her could easily prompt any man to protect her.
At that moment, Narissa finally understood why Zephyr was willing to sacrifice his life for her.
“Do you know me?”
