Chapter 1368 Stomachache
Cassie''s words shocked Cora. ''Is Cassie out of her mind? These people aren''t our friends. Why would
she invite them to have some food?'' she wondered.
The men dressed in ck were puzzled by Cassie''s reaction. Their leader scratched his head in
confusion and disyed a more friendlier expression on his face. "You seem like a clever girl. I think
you already know that we''ve been sent here to bring you with us. If you co-operate without any
resistance, we will be sure to be polite to you."
Cassie immediately realized that they couldn''t be persuaded to change their minds, so she needed to
buy some time. All of a sudden, she pressed her hands against her belly and winced as a look of abject
pain contorted her delicate features.
Cora''s eyes widened in horror and she asked, "Cassie, are you feeling okay? Do you have a
stomachache?"
Cassie nodded her head with great desperation. "Perhaps I ate something bad. I don''t think I can eat
anymore. My stomach hurts so much. I feel terrible."
"Do you want to go to the toilet?" asked Cora, expressing concern.
Cassie gave her the thumbs-up even though she knew that Cora was less likely to understand what
she really meant.
"Oh my god! I can''t take it anymore. Where is the toilet? Quickly, where?" Cassie looked at those men
with a wide-eyed grimace.
They all froze at her critical behavior, fearing the worst.
They were hired to take her away from there even without her consent, if need be. Since she was just a
delicate woman, their numbers assured them that it wouldn''t take much effort on their part to catch her
if she tried something fishy. With that in mind, the leader began to eye her from head to toe and finally
concluded that apart from losing a bit of time, they really didn''t have to worry about this woman at all.
"Okay, there''s the toilet. You can go, but you have to leave your bag with us," said the man pointing his
finger at her handbag.
Cassie was d to see that they had fallen for her trap and dly handed over her bag to them without
hesitation.
"Cora, wait here for me. Don''t go anywhere and don''t try anything reckless," Cassie whispered to Cora.
Cora nodded her head slightly to indicate that she understood her.
Cassie ran to the toilet with her hands on her belly. On her way she saw Jordan hanging up the phone
which led her to believe that the police would soon arrive in no time.
All she had to do was wait patiently inside the toilet until the police came.
After watching Cassie get inside the toilet, Cora pretended to be frightened, whipping her head around
to look for her brother, Jordan.
Meanwhile, Jordan deliberately didn''t make eye contact with her even though it was obvious that she
was afraid. He turned around and started walking in the opposite direction towards the kebab vendor.
Cora didn''t understand why her brother behaved like this, but she hoped that he wouldn''t take any
unnecessary risks. It was not like she doubted his abilities, but rather the fact that they were vastly
outnumbered by these suits.
Cora sat there anxiously biting her nails. She knew that Cassie went to the toilet to stall them, but there
was only one exit in the toilet. Where would she go?
Time passed slowly. Not only was Cora anxious now, but also those men were starting to lose their
patience as well.
"Why is that woman taking so long? Is something wrong with her? What will we say to Shawn?" a man
asked in a low voice.
The leader stood there pensively for a moment and said, "You! Go over there and check up on her."
His subordinate followed his orders and walked towards the toilet.
Her heart leaping into her throat, Cora crossed her fingers behind her back, while Jordan froze in his
ce, nervously looking at them with anticipation.
Suddenly, the loud sound of sirens wailed across and the men looked at each other nkly.
The leader clenched his fists and yelled, "Damn it!"
"What should we do? Herees the police!"
"Go!"
He no longer cared about Cora or his job as he dropped her bag to the floor and fled hastily.
After a few minutes, when the police arrived, they picked up the bag and handed it over to Cassie.
"Miss Wang, please check to see whether something is lost."
Cassie looked at the bag, checked it thoroughly and then shook her head.
"Sir, they weren''t looking to rob my friend. It''s not that simple. We want to find out the truth," said
Jordan.
The policeman nodded courteously and said, "Of course. Pleasee with us to the police station.
After taking your statements, we will file an official case."
Finally, Cassie and Cora breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the gate of the police station
Cassie and Cora walked out shoulder to shoulder while Jordan followed behind them.
Cora patted her chest and sighed, "Brother, you are so smart. I am d you called the police in
advance. If it weren''t for you, Cassie and I would be in a lot of trouble."
Hearing this, Jordan looked at Cassie with a serious expression and said, "Have you offended
someely?"
Cassie felt embarrassed. The first person who came into her mind was Gamora''s boyfriend. He was
the only one she might have offended.
"Don''t worry about it now. It could be an isted incident. Just keep a low profile for a few days."
Cassie gave him a half-hearted smile.
Jordan, however, didn''t believe her words. He stared at her deeply and said, "But I don''t think that this
was an isted incident. It can''t be that simple. Cassie, if you''re in trouble, you can tell me. I''ll help

you."
His words moved Cassie. In truth, she did feel lonely and helpless and the person she needed the most
wasn''t even there to apany her.
''Nick, where are you now?'' she wondered.
Cassie''s helpless expression aroused Jordan''s desire to protect her.
"Cassie!" Jordan stretched out his arms to give her a hug without a conscious thought. Smelling the
fragrance from Cassie, Jordan couldn''t help but take a deep breath. As he opened his mouth to say
something, Cassie pushed him away.
"You... Let me go!" Cassie was in Jordan''s arms and her heartbeat increased by the second.
Cora was so shocked by his brother''s actions that she didn''t know how to react.
"No!" Jordan asserted and hugged her more tightly.
In truth, Cassie foundfort and warmth in Jordan''s embrace. However, there was an obstacle in
Cassie''s heart. She was Nick''s girlfriend now. How could she be with another man in the absence of
Nick?
