Chapter 1686: Turning Enemies


    Chapter 1686: Turning Enemies


    After a moment of tenderness, Vicki sat up straight from the bed as she dressed. Suddenly, Felix held


    her wrist.


    Evidently, his disheveled breath had not yet calmed. Earlier, they had only hastily finished, far from


    "Just stay a little longer," he pleaded.


    Vicki put on the specially made metal wristwatch from the bedside while ncing at the time.


    "No, I can''t. It''s time for me to leave."


    Felix''s eyes dimmed. They hadn''t used protection earlier, indicating that she truly intended to have a


    child with him. When he entered, he even noticed a bottle of folic acid on the table. He had heard that


    women nning to conceive took it.


    He couldn''t understand why, if that were the case, she still treated him with indifference. He couldn''t


    bear her coldness and could only see a glimpse of her passion and confusion when they were intimate,


    making him believe that she was a woman with warmth.


    He held her tightly and asked as he faced her back, "Is it because of OGW?"


    Vicki''s spine stiffened. How did he know?


    When did he find out?


    Seeing her reaction, Felix got up from the bed, still in his pajamas, and embraced her from behind.


    "OGW is active in Khebury. Do you really think I''m oblivious to everything while drowning my sorrows


    every day? Have you forgotten what the Saunders family used to do? Just because we''re not in the


    underworld doesn''t mean we''re unaware of what''s happening there. Whenever I want to know, I can


    find out anytime."


    Vicki''s gaze changed. "Even if you know, it''s none of your business."


    She was about to stand up.


    Felix used force to restrain her. He also knew judo, although he certainly didn''t have as muchbat


    experience as her, but he was still a man with strength. Besides, she didn''t want to hurt him.


    So she didn''t move, allowing him to hold her captive.


    "You said you have five more minutes and you have to go. You have to meet someone. It''s important."


    Felix furrowed his brow. "OGW''s people? Vicki, I''ve never asked about your past. I respect you and


    have always wanted you to tell me on your own. But for four years, you haven''t said anything. Do you


    really care about me?"


    He forcefully turned Vicki''s sharp chin towards him, and his thin lips harshly met her cold ones. He


    angrily nibbled at the corner of her lip.


    "Do you consider me your man?" His discontented words burst out from his teeth.


    "Could it be that you only see me as someone to fulfill your physical needs?" mes ignited in his


    eyes. He had considered this possibility more than once because she was so cold-blooded that he


    couldn''t sense even a hint of love from her.


    Vicki narrowed her eyes.


    It was a childish question, and she couldn''t be bothered to answer.


    "Vicki, do you love me or not?" Felix questioned. He had asked her many times, but never received an


    answer.


    Vicki stared back at him with her icy gaze, her expression showing impatience.


    "Don''t ask such childish questions. I won''t answer."


    Felix''s chest heaved with anger. It was always the same every time.


    The conversation took a turn, and he spoke coldly.


    "Do you think I can''t protect you?"


    "Or do you think I''m incapable of giving you what you want?"


    "Or do you think I''m indifferent and will drag you down? In your heart, am I such a useless person?"


    Felix grew angrier as he spoke.


    He wanted to squeeze her throat tightly and fiercely interrogate her.


    "I don''t think that way." Vicki''s expression remained as cold as an eternal cier, unmoving.


    "Heh," Felix sneered, forcing her to look into his eyes. "If you don''t think that way, then what do you


    mean? You don''t tell me anything, you do everything on your own. Have you ever asked me?"


    "I can gather all the forces of the original factions for you. You should know that the Saunders family


    can reach anywhere in Pascaylia. Trust me. If you encounter any difficulties, tell me. I''ll help you."


    He said it with utmost seriousness.


    Vicki''s dense eyshes trembled slightly.


    Then, her eyebrows furrowed. "Don''t interfere. The Saunders family has been out of the picture for


    decades. Since we''ve been cleansed, don''t stain us again."


    She held his wrist, which tightly gripped her chin, and slowly moved it away.


    For the first time, she exined to him.


    "I have some personal grudges with OGW. I don''twant to involve unrted people."


    Felix felt a slight tremor in his heart. She actually spoke up, finally exining the reason, albeit vaguely.


    It was still a significant step forward.


    "It''s okay, I don''t mind getting involved."


    His gaze turned sharp. "You should know Athena, right?"


    Vicki raised her eyes. Why did he mention Athena? Yes, when she first arrived in DeNox four years


    ago, she did try to gather information. The Bard family, the Saunders family, and the Warner family


    were old acquaintances. Christian, Luther, and Felix were also good friends.


    What caused Christian to turn against them, bing enemies? And what was the truth and evidence


    that Christian had always wanted her to find?


    In those four years, she hadn''t found any clues.


    It seemed that Felix hadpletely severed ties with Christian. She didn''t know where to start.


    Later, Christian gradually stopped being eager to investigate the past and had some interactions with


    Joyce. Plus, Christian had saved Joyce, so he didn''t ask her to inquire about the past anymore. That''s


    why she hadn''t left DeNox and had stayed there all along.


    "Why would you mention her?" Vicki''s eyes widened. "She''s been dead for a long time."


    A crooked smile formed on Felix''s lips. "What if she''s still alive? When she fell off the cliff back then,


    she didn''t die. She only fell into aa. She was unconscious for nearly ten years and has now


    awakened."


    Vicki''s expression showed a hint of danger, but she remained silent.


    "From your expression, you also know, right? You wanted to hide it just now?" Felix exposed her.


    "So you know everything? OGW''s appearance, Athena''s awakening. Is there anything else I don''t


    know?"


    Vicki suddenly pushed Felix away with force.


    In a cold voice, she said, "Stop asking. Don''t get involved."


    She adjusted her disheveled clothes and swiftly walked towards the door.


    Felix suddenly stood up and faced her straight back. "It''s toote. I''m already involved. Luther is also


    involved. Beforeing here, I went to Mr. Ball and made it clear. When ites to OGW, the

    Saunders family will never stand idly by."


    He walked up behind her.


    With determined meaning, he solemnly promised, "No matter what your past is, no matter what


    difficulties you face now, this time, I will protect you! I won''t let you suffer any harm. Whatever you


    want, I''ll give it to you."


    From behind, he slipped a miniature GPS tracker into her palm.


    "Let me know your whereabouts. Let me protect you. Vicki, I can''t be without you. I love you."


    Vicki''s shoulders trembled fiercely.


    Although her heart was shaken, she ultimately didn''t say anything.


    Resolutely, she opened the door and quickly left.
