CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: TOYED BY HER

This woman, how can she say such piercing words.

She wants him to keep his distance from her?

The emotions suppressed all afternoon finally couldn’t be held back.

Long fingers fiercely pinched her jaw, forcing her to look into his eyes.

Shadows loomed, and the biting scent of cedar belonging to the man came overwhelmingly down.

He could just kill her like this!

How could she be so ruthless?!

She toyed with him, played him, put a green hat on him, and then just kicked him aside.

He must be insane to be trampled by her like this.

The fire boiling in Elias Warner’s eyes threatened to burn Annelise Winter, "Is it me who spread the rumors? Wasn’t it you who seduced me in the first place? After catching me, isn’t it your forte to just kick me aside? And now you pretend not to know me in front of the entire airline?"

Feeling the trembling breaths of the woman, the man’s Adam’s apple rolled wildly, "In this regard, I have to admire you; while entangled with me, you’re also entangled with Chase Perry. And that’s not enough! At night, you’re still hooking up with other men in nightclubs. Men are like toys to you!"

Annelise’s eyes reddened with anger.

Those sarcastic words stabbed into her heart like a knife, causing suffocating pain.

But she couldn’t shed tears in front of Elias Warner, after all, in his eyes, she was already this kind of person.

She deliberately smirked, raised her eyebrows at him, "So what? Will Captain Warner fall for it like other men?"

"Miss Winter, I told you, don’t use the tricks on me that you use to seduce other men!"

"That’s a real pity!" Annelise expressed with slight regret, even allowing her gaze to carry a seductive hint to make Elias Warner despise her more.

Thinking of all the events after their reunion, thinking of another man in her heart, Elias Warner’s temple pulsed with disappointment as he released her!

"Since you have so many men who like you, why don’t you let them help you repay the six million! If Chase Perry helps you, perhaps considering his relationship, I’ll even give you a discount!"

The phone rang again in his pocket; Elias Warner took out his phone, seeing the call was from another captain in the same crew, Noah Morgan.

Elias answered the phone, "Sorry, I’ll be right there."

Not wanting to stay in this room for another second.

He took a deep breath, turned around to leave.

At the doorway, with his back to her, "To prevent you from escaping, during your vacation, Uncle Ford will not leave your side, and before I return to the country, you are not allowed to leave Kybourne, and pay off your debt! Otherwise, wait for the lawyer’s letter!"

"Why! You clearly said you would give me time to make money!"

"Because my patience is limited, I suddenly don’t want to be entangled with you for too long!" Elias Warner remarked mercifully, "Oh, by the way, the sponsor I found for you last time is still available; if you can’t raise the money, Uncle Ford will arrange for you!"

The door slammed shut in front of Annelise Winter.

Outside the door, Uncle Ford had already returned.

But upon seeing the closed door, he knew what was going on, not daring to disturb.

With the plane about to take off, countless crew members had come to find the Young Master.

Only after repeatedly convincing them of the Young Master’s professionalism, ensuring he would not miss the flight, did they leave.

The man left the room, buttoning his cuffs as he strode to the pre-flight preparation room!

Uncle Ford followed behind, "Young Master! You finally came out! I couldn’t reach Young Master Perry by phone; he might have already checked in! And many have urged, but I didn’t tell them you were just in the preparation room."

"Since we can’t find him!" Elias suddenly paused, his face grim, "Uncle Ford, you stay here, watch her for me! She is not allowed to leave Kybourne this week!"

"Very well, Young Master! Safe takeoff and landing!"

Elias nodded, putting on the uniform suit jacket, quickly leaving!

The man, tall and commanding in his captain’s uniform, exuded a heroic spirit, his silhouette standing tall.

As long as he appeared, he inexplicably provided a sense of safety to others!

Uncle Ford watched, reluctant to part, unsure when he’d have the chance to sit on a plane piloted by the Young Master.

In Elias Warner’s private resting room, Annelise heard Elias say she couldn’t leave Kybourne, and panic spread through her.

She didn’t want Uncle Ford following her; by tomorrow morning, she planned to sell the suit and rush to the neighboring city.

The timing was too tight; there couldn’t be even a moment’s error before she boarded the flight.

But if Uncle Ford followed her, preventing her from leaving Kybourne, what would she do?

No, she couldn’t let Elias just leave like this.

Finishing her infusion, she hastily removed the needle herself.

But as soon as she exited, she was stopped; Uncle Ford expressionless, official, "Miss Annelise, stop! Letting other colleagues see you in this state chasing the Young Master wouldn’t look good!"

So many people had come urging, yet he hadn’t let anyone near the resting room just moments ago.

So at least earlier, no one would know that the Young Master and Miss Annelise were alone inside, with the door locked.

Annelise had never wanted to delay his work, nor tarnish his reputation.

The things she said moments ago were just for show, to maintain her ridiculous self-esteem.

Glancing at her phone to check the time, indeed, there was less than an hour until the flight took off.

Annelise stopped in her tracks, no longer pursuing.

Turning back, she realized that the room she had just slept in was, in fact, Elias Warner’s private resting room.

She couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart, unsure how she ended up here.

Clearly, she had fainted in front of Chase Perry.

Thinking of the sofa she had just lain on, ripples spread in Annelise’s heart.

But she had no time to ponder; not suitable for returning to Elias’s place, she planned to go back to her office to calm down and consider what to do tomorrow?

Fortunately, after that short nap, her body seemed much more comfortable.

But unexpectedly, wherever she went, Uncle Ford indeed followed closely without leaving.

Until the office door, Annelise finally stopped in her tracks.

"Uncle Ford, I’m fine now, you can go about your business, no need to mind me."

Uncle Ford coldly replied, "Sorry, Miss Annelise. The Young Master ordered me to watch over you until you repay the debt in full! I arranged clients for you after work tomorrow; you can look over their details and familiarize yourself with the task beforehand!"

The sponsor’s business card, like blatant humiliation, left Annelise utterly mortified.

This was the sponsor Elias Warner chose for her.

The sponsor she was to accompany.
