Chapter 87 Button


    Chapter 87 Button


    nche widened her eyes in shock. The way Louis spoke just now was strange. "How could he be


    so gentle to me? Do I have hypochondriasis?" she wondered.


    She blinked, as if contemting something.


    Louis suddenly retracted his hand that was supporting nche''s head and coldly said, "Go back to


    sleep."


    The next morning, just as morning dawned, Louis woke up first. nche was still sleeping soundly


    in her nket.


    The valley was quiet, perfect for sleeping.


    When Louis pushed aside the nket, his hand identally touched nche''s waist. It felt soft,


    and with that touch, his big palm felt like it was being electrified, and the strange feeling seemed to


    spread throughout his body.


    Even though she was asleep, her face was full of spirit, making people feel invigorated.


    Louis frowned, feeling extremely ufortable. When did he be so sensitive?


    When nche woke up, she didn''t see anyone beside her. She sat up, looked around, and saw a


    pair of long legs at the entrance.


    Hearing a noise behind him, Louis turned around to take a nce and then turned away in


    indifference.


    nche got out of bed, put on her shoes, and neatly folded the nket back into the closet. The


    two of them set off again.


    The weather was good, and Louis and nche soon found the steep mountain path leading to the


    mountaintop.


    However, the path was too steep. nche bit her lip and strained her neck because she had to


    keep looking up. "Is this really a path? It felt more like holes carved into a cliff," sheined in


    her head.


    As they climbed up from the valley, they saw Sam and a pair of horses about to descend the


    mountain cliff to search for them.


    When Sam saw theming up, he was stunned for a moment before quickly walking forward.


    "Mr. Herbart, Mrs. Herbart, we were just about to go down to find you."


    Louis got furious as he looked at the captured criminal. He walked straight past Sam and kicked the


    man to the ground. Then he kicked the man two more times fiercely.


    The criminal groaned in pain, sounding like a pig being ughtered.


    nche was stunned. Louis now looked fierce and ruthless,pletely different from before.


    Louis had discarded the custom-made jacket he had worn abroad and was now wearing a blue shirt


    with the sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscr wheat-colored arms.


    Louis stepped on the criminal''s head with a sneer, grinding it forcefully.


    Seeing this, nche shivered. Louis seemed to be trampling not on a person but on an animal. His


    cold eyes and fierceness made everyone present tremble in fear.


    The criminal on the ground had already bitten off a tooth due to the pain.


    Louis withdrew his foot and sneered. "Spread the word to the casinos both at home and abroad that


    Wilburn has been exiled. It''s time for them to collect their debts."


    "Yes, sir." Sam nodded.


    In recent years, Wilburn had been addicted to gambling and had umted countless debts.


    However, everyone knew that he had the support of the Herbart Group, so no one dared to hurt


    him.


    But now that he had been exiled, things would be different. The casino owners would surelye


    after Wilburn to collect their debts.


    Everyone knew that casino owners could do anything to collect debts, behaving in the most


    outrageous manner.


    Louis nced at the bloodstain on his shoe that hade from the criminal''s vomit with disgust.


    One of his subordinates immediately took out a silk handkerchief, squatted down, and wiped it clean


    for him.


    Back at the hotel, they were ready to prepare for their return journey.


    While packing her things in her room and making the bed, nche noticed a delicate button on the


    sheets.


    nche picked up the button, her eyes widened in shock. The clothes she was wearing didn''t have


    this kind of button. It must have been left by the man from the previous night.


    At that moment, a pair of long legs walked in. "Are you done packing? It''s time to go."


    nche tightened her grip on the button and hid it in her purse. It felt like a rusty nail pricking her


    skin. She didn''t want anyone to know about the embarrassing incident that had happened to her.


    "What are you looking at?"


    Suddenly realizing that Louis hade to her room, nche wondered how he got in and why he


    kept looking around as if searching for something.


    Louis turned around, standing upright with his back facing nche, blocking her view. He raised his


    right wrist and touched the empty cuff.


    He had long noticed that the button on his cuff was missing. He did not drop it under the cliff but


    before he went to the orchard to find nche.


    After thinking it overst night, he reasoned that the highest possibility was that he had dropped it in


    nche''s room, more likely on her bed. That night, he had slept wearing only a shirt.

    Louis nced around, but there was no button on the floor. The bed had already been made, so he


    couldn''t tell if it was on it or not.


    "Never mind. Judging from the watchful look on nche''s face, she probably hasn''t discovered that


    the button is mine," he thought to himself.


    Withdrawing his eyes, Louis decisively said, "It''s fine. If you don''t want to walk back, let''s go


    downstairs and get in the car quickly."


    Louis turned around and walked away, while nche frowned and put the button into her purse.
