Chapter 175: Talking It Over
Blanche Capra passed out.
When she woke up, the unfamiliar scene in front of her eyes, surrounded by dim light, is a small room piled up clutter, and she is now sitting against the ground, hands tied behind her back.
Blanche Capra felt her stomach for a moment, the sharp pain had passed, now she just felt sore and limp, and the uncertainty of the light in front of her made her panic.
She moved, not knowing what she had bumped into, and something fell from a height with a distinct sound. A cloud of dust was raised and Blanche Capra breathed into her nose, sneezing uncomfortably.
“Awake?” A voice rang out, “Pretty quick to wake up!”
Blanche Capra went to listen carefully, but it wasn’t the voice of the man from the hotel earlier, or anyone else she recognised, she coughed again and said, “Call out the man behind you!”
The man let out a laugh, “You’re still quite tough?” As soon as the words were out of her mouth, intense light suddenly filled her vision, and Blanche Capra squinted in irritation as the room brightened and she finally saw that she was in a setting that wasn’t far off from what she presumed, and that the man she’d been talking to was now looking down at her from a few steps away, his face full of amusement.
Indeed, another one. Unfortunately, no matter how many more there were, she could guess that the man behind them was Moore Howard without a doubt.
It was she who had been so negligent in the meantime. How could Moore Howard stop at that when he hadn’t approached her again for so long? Who else but him would ask her for the shares of the Charlie Group?
Not to mention, in this way.
However, she subconsciously always felt that her kidnapping this time was not that simple at all. Could it be that Moore Howard also had eyes and ears in the Charlie Group? Or an undercover agent? She thought of that assistant at York Charlie …
Blanche Capra was thinking, the man across the street suddenly spoke, “Hey! What are you thinking about? You don’t think you can come in here and escape that easily! Don’t even think about it until you hand over your shares!”
Blanche Capra smiled softly.
The man stepped closer to her, then crouched down to her level, “And you’re still laughing?” He said and lifted her chin with his hand, “Although it is said that a red face is a scourge, but it is not unreasonable for you to be a scourge, tsk tsk … look at this seductive appearance …” he said to Blanche Capra looked up and down, “You refuse to obediently hand over the shares, I will not suffer if I rape you!”
Blanche Capra loathed his lecherous look, “I said get Moore Howard out here!”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Yoo-hoo,” the man laughed, “You guessed that so quickly? Would you like me to slap you first? I’m not one for pity, I prefer … violence …”
Blanche Capra glared at him coldly, “Don’t you dare! Who the hell are you? Tell Moore Howard to come out and talk to me or … you’ll beat me to death and I’ll never get those shares!”
The man was enraged by her, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, “Good, you think I don’t dare? With such a powerful mouth let’s see if it can withstand a few slaps from me!” After saying that he raised his hand and was about to slap over.
“Anu!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out. The man’s movements stopped in mid-air and turned his head to look, a person walked over with a smile as if he was strolling idly, this person was none other than Moore Howard.
Moore Howard quickly walked up to Blanche Capra, he first spoke jokingly to the man on one side, “Anu, why so mean to Miss Capra? I won’t lose any face in front of Miss Capra if you’re not polite.”
Anu stood up and looked down at Blanche Capra sitting on the floor and let out a cold hum from her nose, “Be good and say yes or I’ll be rude to you!” He said and stood to the side.
Moore Howard gives him a displeased look, then slowly crouches down again, looks at Blanche Capra’s face and smiles, “Don’t be angry, my man just has a bad temper.”
Blanche Capra looks at him disdainfully, “Hypocrite, pretending! Aren’t you tired? You hate me so much in your heart that you can’t wait for me to do whatever you want, but you have to pretend to be all smiles and courtesy!”
“Oh?” Moore Howard listens to her, but his smile remains, and he rubs his chin, “So that’s how you’ve always seen me?”
Blanche Capra grimaced, “I’ve been looking at you that way for a long time.”
“Long ago?” Moore Howard laughs out softly, “How long ago was it? When I saved your life, did you think I was inconsistent and had something up my sleeve? As I recall, you were very grateful to me. After all, not only did I save your life, but I also gave you a new identity and allowed you to successfully finish college … I think I helped you put on that bachelor’s cap at your senior graduation ceremony …”
Moore Howard looked her in the eyes, the corners of his lips always curved upwards, and maybe even his smile looked a little genuine because of the memory of the past. But to Blanche Capra’s eyes, she could only feel that it was an illusion, and even his smile would strike her as a mockery of her former ignorance.
“What are you telling me this for?” Blanche Capra interrupted impatiently
“Catching up?” He stood up suddenly then bent down and reached out close to her, “Or talk about what you think of me …” Blanche Capra saw his movement and her body immediately stepped back, all at once bumping into something behind her, she looked at him defensively, and “What are you doing?!”
Moore Howard smiled slightly before picking her up despite her struggles and placing her on a single sofa, “What can I do? Just wanted to have a nice talk with you and found you a comfy spot.”
Blanche Capra’s body nerves slackened slightly as she was placed on the soft couch, hearing him say that, “Then untie me, my hands are tied uncomfortably.”
Moore Howard sniffs and stares at her for a moment before smiling, “You don’t need to talk with your hands do you?”
Blanche Capra smiles back, but the smile is cold, “Are you worried that you won’t be able to restrain me without this rope? Moore Howard, you’re not that weak, are you?”
The smile faded a little from Moore Howard’s face before he bowed and stepped forward to untie her bound hands, he deliberately moved in close to get so close to her and spoke softly in her ear, “I’m not falling for your aggravation Brandi, I’m just trying to make you feel better.”
Blanche Capra’s heart fluttered slightly at the familiar words, and Moore Howard laughed softly as he stepped away from her and sat down on a crate of some sort across from her.
“Hypocrisy!” Blanche Capra looked at him in disgust.
Moore Howard cradled his arms and crossed his legs lazily, “Why is it that all you do today is swear one way or the other? This isn’t the Blanche Capra I know, and Brandi!”
Blanche Capra snorted, “I’ve been wanting to curse you for a long time! And you don’t talk like you know me well! We all know what’s happened over the years!”
Moore Howard had an innocent look on his face, “You’re trying to cross the river, Brandi, I saved you for real, you owe me, and you haven’t paid me back yet! How can you unilaterally break the deal between us?”
