Johnny sent so many people to look for Ca but he still failed. He was wondering whether or not she

coulde back safely on her own.
Ca paused and turned slightly to look at the emeraldke then answered, "Grandpa Nichs sent
his men to find me."
She hid the fact that Terence was the one who found her to protect him.
Terence was Nichs''s favorite grandchild and Ca was Terence''s girlfriend. It was only natural for
Nichs to protect her after Terence''s death. The whole thing totally made sense to everyone.
Ca nced at the river bank and saw two boats sailing after them.
Terence arranged some bodyguards and they were waiting on both the bank and the boats to protect
her anytime if she needed them.
Johnny bought what Ca said, that Nichs was the one who sent people to save her. It was no
wonder that she came back that quickly.
However, he was a little unhappy that she was still close to the people in the An Family. He frowned
and asked her, "Are you still constantly in touch with the An Family?"
"Yes. Grandpa Nichs was hoping that Terence would marry me. He told me that I am like one of his
grandchildren already. He promised me that he would always protect me. Grandpa Nichs also said
that even though Terence already passed away, he would still take care of me like I am his own
grandchild."
She answered while she nced at Johnny. Johnny then curled his lips and said, "I don''t think it''s the
right thing to do. Terence isn''t here anymore. You have no right to keep on being involved with that
family. Unless you don''t want to get married for the rest of your life just to show your loyalty to Terence.
Ca, I love you. Please be with me. I''ll do everything to protect you for the rest of my life."
Johnny confessed his love to Ca. He moved closer to her and suddenly took her hand.
However, Ca immediately shook him off as if it was an insect that touched her hand. She refused
him and said, "No way, Johnny. You think that after all the things that you''ve done to me that there
would still be a chance that I would love you? You should just forget about it because it''s never going to
happen!"
Seeing that she hated him so much, Johnny got really upset. His lips trembled lightly while he defended
himself, "I am not the one who killed Terence! I''m not the one that you should hate."
However, he only met a snort of suspicion and disdain from Ca. Johnny was lucky that the boat they
were on didn''t have oars. Otherwise, she would have smacked him with it using all her might to vent
her anger.
"Johnny, do you know how to swim?"
Ca asked him suddenly.
Johnny was puzzled at her question but he still answered her honestly, "Yes, I can. Why do you ask?"
There was suddenly a sharp turn ahead and a wave caused the boat to veer to the side. The wave
surged at them at about one meter high and dashed right at Ca. She reflexively raised her hands in
front of her as a shield.
At that moment, Johnny grabbed her into his chest and turned his back to the wave to protect her.
However, they met the moving rapids just after they passed a sharp turn. Suddenly, someone gave
Johnny a hard push and it made him fall into the river in a big ssh.
Fortunately, Johnny was wearing a life jacket. He nimbly grabbed arge boulder by the side of the
river bank to stop himself from being swept away by the rapids. Then he looked up only to find that
Ca was being taken away by the boat.
"Johnny, just hang in there. You should swim faster. I''ll meet you back in the dock. Goodbye." Ca just
waved her hands at him and left him in a fit of mischievousughter. She was just d that she finally
got rid of him.
Ca knew that Johnny was in love with her. If she met him earlier before she even met Terence, she
might have been touched by everything he had done for her and she would have eventually loved him
back.
However, she met Terence first.
She couldn''t ever ept anyone after being with Terence. He was the best thing that ever happened to
her in her whole life.
Ca would never rece Terence with Johnny. Plus, Johnny was actually one of the ringleaders that
''killed'' Terence. He was not a nice guy at all.
He wanted to kill her lover just to be with her. It was ridiculous. She would never let that happen.
She decided to take a little revenge on him by throwing him into the water. It was not much but it helped
her feel a little bit better.
Johnny was still several kilometers away from the dock. It was pretty clear that he couldn''t swim all the
way back to the dock. Some of his bodyguards quickly decided to jump into theke to rescue him.
As soon as Ca arrived at the dock, she took Sean''s hand and steered him to their car. She wanted
nothing more than to go home and spend some much needed quality time with him.
However, just before they got into their car, Johnny caught up with them. Ca was a little surprised to
see that he was so quick on his feet that he even managed to change into dry clothes. Johnny stopped
them, "Ca, please wait a minute. I made a reservation in a restaurant for us. Let''s have dinner then
I''ll drive you home after." His hair was still wet but he still looked handsome and dashing.
Sean slightly pulled Ca''s hand and asked in a low voice, "Ca, is he courting you?"
Ca didn''t answer his question. She decided to just ignore him and give Johnny an angry stare,
"Johnny, just what do you think you''re doing? Didn''t you suffer enough in the water? I can give you
more trouble if that''s what you really want."
Johnny ordered his chauffeur to get his car, "No, I didn''t. I enjoy it when you torture me. I know that
you''re mad at me, Ca. Just take it out on me. I will do anything to make you feel better."
His persistence made Ca speechless. She suppressed her anger and patted Sean on the shoulder.
Then whispered to him, "Sean, you should go home first. I''ll give you a call once I''m done with him."
Sean was her weak spot. She had to send Sean home first in case Johnny decided to use him to force
her to do something that she didn''t want to do again.
"All right. I''ll go home first. Please call me soon, okay?" Sean answered, then he added, "Ca, please
don''t forget about Terence. He is the best. I really don''t want you to date this guy."
Sean uttered the childish words while stealing a nce at Johnny.
''Terence is much more handsome than him, '' Sean thought to himself while sizing Johnny up.
''Terence is also much more generous and he is probably richer
than him.
There was no reason for Ca to like this guy. I am sure that I am just worrying about nothing.''
Sean thought about it for a while and it made him miss Terence even more. He was just hoping that
Terence would return to them as soon as possible.
At that exact moment, Terence nced at the clock while he was waiting on the sofa. It was getting
prettyte now.
Why was Ca not back yet?
Was it because she decided to have dinner with Johnny?
Terence started worrying about Ca. Even though he had sent some bodyguards to protect her, he
himself couldn''t be there for her if she needed him. It made him feel restless.
Just thinking about it made Terence jittery. He decided that he couldn''t just sit there and wait for her. He
stood up and got changed. He went out in a pair of sunsses and a face mask.
The second that he stepped out of the door, Rainer and Nathan stopped him immediately.
"Mr. Terence, where are you going?"
When the brothers got better, they went back to work instantly even though they were technically still
on vacation.
"Mr. Terence, you know that you can''t go out like that. It would be very dangerous if you were
recognized by someone." Rainer took a step forward in an attempt to stop Terence.
ording to their original n, Terence should keep hiding himself in the house for another week.
However, Terence just took off his ck mask and nced at the brothers. He reassured them, "Don''t
worry. I''ll stay in the car just to be safe." Then he kept walking away from them.
"Mr. Terence," Nathan called him again.
"Are you worried about Miss Ca? I''m sure that everything''s alright. You should rx. Mr. Nichs got
Miss Ca a coach to teach her some self-defense skills and she had been practicing for a month. I
believe that she is more than capable of protecting herself now."
"He is right, Mr. Terence. Even though Miss Ca is a tiny woman, she still decided to go into that
jungle to save you on her own and that took courage and determination.
It was more than enough to show you how much she loves you. There is no way that she would fall in
love with someone else. You have nothing to worry about." Rainer tried to persuade him as well.
When he heard what Rainer just said, Terence was touched again by Ca''s love and devotion for him.
That was the very reason why he wanted to go find her now. After all the things that she did for him, he
couldn''t possibly leave her alone like this. He loved her just as much as she loved him. He responded
to them with an exnation, "I know. I know that Ca loves me very much. I am just afraid that
Johnny would hurt her."
Almost everyone in JA City believed that he was dead now and it gave Johnny the courage to pester
Ca and tantly run after her. However, Ca was his woman. He would never let anybody take her
away from him.
As long as he could, he would stop Johnny himself.
He couldn''t just sit there and wait for her to return. It would drive him crazy.
"Mr. Terence, please be patient. There are already bodyguards that would help Miss Ca in case she
got into any trouble and she could also protect herself. Johnny would never dare hurt her. It would be
better for you to just stay here,"
Nathan said while still trying to stop him.
Rainer got inspired at that moment and decided to cut in their conversation, "Mr. Terence, I have an
idea and it could help you see Miss Ca without being recognized. Would you like to hear about it?"
