Chapter 1004


    Mn clicked his tongue and sat on the sofa, scrutinizing me with narrowed eyes. "The aesthetic


    eye of local men moves me."


    I did not bother paying attention to him, let alone take his words seriously. I turned around and went


    upstairs.


    If Jordan could really take us away, then it would truly be a blessing.


    I went to Shannon''s room. She was not sleeping and looked much more energetic and less dazed


    now.


    When I walked to the side of the bed, she abruptly grabbed my hand and spoke in a trembling


    voice, "I want to go home, Wanda."


    I felt a lump in my throat and nodded to agree.


    The rest were feeling much better now, though theirplexions were still a little pale.


    Staying in a disgusting ce like that for too long could make any ordinary person go mad.


    Mn rarely stayed in the vi. Maybe he was particrly careful because he was afraid of dying, so


    he seldom stayed too long in one spot. Hence, I did not see Mn at dinner.


    After eating dinner, I went back to my room to rest.


    As soon as Iy down on the bed, I had trouble falling asleep. I was overwhelmed by the joy of


    being able to g o home. The joysted until midnight.


    When I finally felt a hint of drowsiness, I heard the sound of a car from downstairs.


    I was shocked and thought that Mn had returned.


    Now that he was back, were we still able to leave tomorrow?


    Just as I was getting restless, there was a knock on the door.


    I abruptly sat up from the bed, put on my shoes, and got out of bed. I tiptoed to the bedroom door


    and put m y ear against it. I listened to the movements outside the door.


    "It''s me." A cold voice of a man came from outside the door.


    I could hear that it was Jordan''s voice and opened the door to look at him with a confused


    expression.


    He was dressed in a ck suit. He was no longer cool but cold.


    Jordan said ndly, "Let’s go."


    I was stunned. "Now?"


    "Mn is being held up at the hotel. I’ve handled the men outside. This is the best time to act." I


    hesitated no more after hearing what he said and followed him outside the room.


    I wanted to turn left to head to Shannon and the girls, but Jordan pulled me back. I looked at him


    with a frown. "My friends..."


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Jordan pursed his lips. "They''re already waiting outside."


    I did not doubt him for a second and followed him downstairs.


    Under the dim lights, Stephan''s tall and fierce figure stood in the center of the living room. He stared


    fixedly at us.


    I stopped in my tracks and subconsciously said," Stephan."


    Jordan merely darted him a nce and continued to pull me out of the vi.


    I thought Stephan would stop us at first, but he merely stood there to watch us leave.


    I hesitated for a moment and turned around to say," Thank you."


    He did not say anything and merely nced indifferently at Jordan.


    After leaving the vi, I saw three Hummers parked out front.


    I had just gotten into one of them when there was a loud noise outside.


    Jordan said to the driver, "Take them away first.”


    Mn must have returned. I was flustered and looked at Jordan, not knowing what to say for a


    moment.


    Seeing that the driver was about to drive off, I quickly said, "Please be careful."
