Chapter 257


    The first ce that Johanna headed to was not her home but thepany.


    On the taxi, Johanna revealed to Jonathan that her family manufactured car engines. The name of the


    company was Falcon Corporation.


    When Jonathan heard the name, he was shocked. “Wow, your family founded Falcon engines?”


    An expression of pride appeared on Johanna''s face. She replied, “Yes!”


    Jonathan could not help but exim, “Amazing!”


    Falcon Corporation created the best car engines in the nation currently. It even appeared to be able to


    surpass engines produced by other countries in the future. Furthermore, many citizens started to


    approve of Falcon Corporation''s engines in Chanaea. The brand was starting to create a name for


    itself.


    The quality of local car engines was generally considered bad in the country, but Falcon engines


    boosted the reputation of local car engines. Falcon Corporation had signed long-term coborations


    with many local car manufacturers. Somepanies which had joint ventures even had strategic


    partnerships with them.


    Furthermore, a famous global brand even wanted to purchase Falcon Corporation at an astronomical


    price wanting to gain insight into how to create their engines.


    However, Falcon Corporation rejected them.


    The wealth of Falcon Corporation reached tens of billions of dors in Anndurn currency.


    Yet, contrary to public expectations, Falcon Corporation was not listed in the stock market.


    As the Falcon Corporation representative said, thepany''s founders did not understand the stock


    market and only knew how to create car engines.


    Thus, they would continue to focus on creating car engines.


    Considering that the two of them were in a taxi and that their conversation could be overheard by the


    driver, Jonathan did not ask Johanna why she was being chased. Thus, the two of them fell silent.


    Half an hour passed and it was seven o'' clock.


    The morning sun shone through the car windows.


    The taxi stopped in front of Falcon Corporation.


    Jonathan paid for the fare and the two people got off the taxi.


    Falcon Corporation was in a building that had thirty- six levels. The name of the building was Falcon


    Building.


    The production and assembly line as well as the design, research, and market development


    departments were located in the building. In short, all of thepany''s core departments were in there.


    Thus, Falcon Corporation was able to keep its industrial and trade secrets watertight. The


    representative of Falcon Corporation had spent a lot of money to hire professional bodyguards. These


    professionals checked the surveince cameras and identified anyone suspicious easily.


    Furthermore, there were security guards patrolling the building.


    The security guards were all experienced too. Some of them were retired special forces soldiers and


    mercenaries.


    The security at Falcon Corporation was very tight, and the ce was very safe.


    After all, Falcon Corporation''spetitors were bigpanies and corporations. Thus, it was not likely


    for them to hire professionals. Basically, they were not ancient families specializing in martial arts.


    In the meantime, Jonathan and Johanna entered the Falcon Building.


    When the security guard saw Johanna, he respectfully greeted her before letting them in.


    Johanna had regained herposure. She cidly nodded and epted his greetings.


    Jonathan looked around curiously.


    Johanna brought Jonathan to the elevator and went up to the highest floor of the building.


    “Where are we going?” Jonathan asked Johanna.


    Johanna replied, “I''m bringing you to meet my younger sister. She''s the chairman of thepany.”


    “Why? She''s not a beautifuldy anyway.”


    Johanna was rendered speechless. A momentter, she said, “You have saved me and helped Falcon


    Corporation greatly. My sister will be grateful to you.”


    Jonathan immediately said, “You aren''t going to renege on your promise, are you?”


    Johanna froze and did not expect that he would remember her promise to give him a kiss. She said, “I


    am a married woman. Why are you...”


    Jonathanughed and replied, “Why don''t you give it to me now? I will leave after that as I have


    something onter.” Thereafter, he cornered Johanna against the walls of the elevator.


    His strong arms encircled Johanna.


    The posture was one that made women''s hearts pound furiously.


    It was one where he ced his palms against the wall and trapped her between his arms. She would


    be unable to leave and could only let him do what he wanted. A kiss would be the icing on the cake.


    Johanna was frightened by Jonathan''s sudden action.


    “Don''t mess around. We are in thepany. There are surveince cameras in the elevator,” Johanna


    eximed as she panicked.


    Jonathan chuckled and said, “Why should I be scared? You have promised me! I am just getting my


    reward!”


    “When my husband sees this, he will kill you!” Johanna said angrily.


    “Haha!” Jonathan chuckled before letting Johanna go. “I''m joking. Don''t take it to heart,” he said.


    Johanna realized that Jonathan was teasing her. She was annoyed but found it funny at the same time.


    They soon arrived at the thirty-sixth level.


    The two of them walked out of the elevator.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    On the highest floor, there was a luxurious office. Gold-rimmed carpeting was ced on the floor.


    Johanna led Jonathan into the office.


    Johanna knocked on the door and a woman''s pleasant voice soon sounded. “Pleasee in!”


    Pushing open the door, Johanna led Jonathan in.


    There was a ceiling-to-floor window in the office, and there were many advanced technological


    gadgets. The interior design wasvish.


    There was a carpet on the floor and a big screen where one could watch movies and y games.


    On the other end of the room was a gym.


    “Oh my!”


    Jonathan only gave a quick nce across the room and he could not help but sigh in envy. Rich people


    spend money extravagantly!


    However, what attracted Jonathan the most was thedy sitting at the desk in the office.


    She was Johanna''s younger sister and the chairman of Falcon Corporation.


    She appeared to be around twenty-five years old and wore a purple suit.


    Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, and she looked capable and mature.


    Her figure was great and was as attractive as Johanna''s. Furthermore, she was beautiful just like


    Johanna.


    Johanna was full of mature charm. The matureness could be seen in her beautiful figure, and she was


    as appealing as a juicy peach on a hot day. When men saw her, they yearned to push her beneath


    them.


    However, thedy had a strong aura. When men saw her, they would feel inferior in front of her and


    dare not pursue her.


    When thedy saw Johanna, she immediately stood up and walked over with a look of concern on her


    face. “Johanna! You''re back! I called you multiple times but you never picked up!”


    Thedy sped Johanna''s hands tightly.


    With lingering fear in her heart, Johanna said, “Joanne, I almost could not meet you. If this man had not


    saved me, I would have been killed by assassins.” She pointed at Jonathan and said, “Joanne, let me


    introduce you to the man who saved me. His name is Jonathan Lawson.”


    Thereafter, Johanna introduced Jonathan to her younger sister. “This is my younger sister, Joanne


    Wilkinson.”


    Jonathan subconsciously straightened his spine when he saw Joanne. He looked all serious and


    greeted, “Hello, Ms. Joanne.”


    Joanne stretched out a hand to him. “Hello, Mr. Lawson. Thank you for your help.”


    Jonathan reached out a hand and shook hers.


    He was a man, so when women did not take the initiative to shake his hand, he would not initiate it. It


    was a matter of respect.


    Although he was brash at times, he would be respectful when the asion called for it.


    However, he had no qualms about behaving as he wished around Johanna.


    More importantly, the first time he met Johanna, she had an intimate encounter with him. Thus, he


    behaved as he wished around her.


    Jonathan quickly let go of Joanne''s hand after she shook his. It was a fleeting handshake, and he


    acted with the utmost respect.


    However, at that moment, a sh of shock appeared in Jonathan''s eyes.


    Joanne''s hand was too cold.


    It was as if her hand had been frozen for a thousand years.


    “What''s wrong?” Joanne asked when she noticed the peculiar grimace on Jonathan''s face.


    Jonathan was confused. Did Joanne not know that her hand was icy-cold?


    Hence, he replied, “Your hand is very cold.”


    “It can''t be,” Johanna said. “My sister has a weak and cold body from birth, but I don''t think it is that


    cold!” Thereafter she held Joanne''s hand and continued to speak. “It''s not very cold. It''s just slightly


    colder than the average person''s hand.”


    What? How can that be?


    Her hand was so cold that he could not take it.


    Could it be my misconception?


    Jonathan shook his head and asked Joanne, “Can I hold your hand again?”


    Before Joanne could reply, Johanna''s expression turned strange. She eximed, “Don''t take


    advantage of my sister, Jonathan!”


    Jonathan said seriously, “I don''t have the intention to do so. I just find it weird.”


    “What do you mean by weird? I''ve grown up with my sister. No one said that she was weird. You said


    that she was weird when you have only met her once. You''re the one with a problem.”


    Jonathan could not help butugh bitterly. He said, “All right.” He paused before saying, “There''s


    nothing for me to do here. I''ll take my leave.”


    “Please wait!” A frightened look appeared on Joanne''s face. She appeared to have thought of


    something.


    Jonathan turned and saw Joanne''s expression. He knew that there must have been something wrong


    with her body.


    Joanne stretched out her fair and pale hand.


    Without hesitation, Jonathan grabbed her hand.


    He held onto it and did not let go immediately.


    In an instant, an icy-cold feeling rushed into Jonathan''s veins.


    Jonathan resisted the urge to let go of her hand. He stared at Joanne in shock.


    While Catherine was naturally cold-blooded, her symptoms were normal and consideredmon.


    Jonathan did not find anything out of the ordinary with her.


    However, something was different about Joanne''s hand.


    “Hey! Why aren''t you letting go, Jonathan?” Johanna asked.


    Joanne said, “Johanna, don''t hurry him.” She stared at Jonathan seriously before looking at his hand.


    At that moment, something weird happened.


    A thinyer of frost appeared on Jonathan''s hand.


    “Oh, my god!” Jonathan yelled and could not help but let go of Joanne''s hand. He could not stand the


    coldness emitting from Joanne''s hand.


    He hurriedly shook his hand to regain blood cirction.


    Soon after, theyer of frost disappeared.


    Joanne and Johanna were shocked.


    It was only then that Johanna realized that Jonathan was telling the truth. He had no intention of taking


    advantage of Joanne.


    “Why is it like this?” Johanna asked Jonathan.


    Jonathan did not understand what was going on either. He replied, “You should ask Ms. Joanne this


    question.”
