CHAPTER 636 WEAPONS USED TO DEAL WITH EDWIN CARTER
Thinking of the expression on Edwin Carter's face, like he had him under control, Victor James was very angry.
However, he could only endure it because Edwin was his nephew.
"Anyway, I think my cold brother changed because he met my sister-in-law..." Angela was still holding Victor closely. "But it doesn't matter, I'm just relieved that they didn't really divorce each other."
"Angela, when did you start to worry like your mother?" Angela was definitely not such a sensible person in Victor's eyes.
"Get out!" Angela kicked him and shouted, "I still have to shoot one more scene today. I have to go now."
As soon as she took a step, Victor pulled her back. He looked at her with looks that were so endearing, she had never seen this before Angela's heart beat faster uncontrollably.
Damn it! He knew how much she loved him! When he looked at her with this kind of look, she couldn't wait to throw herself at him, so how could she still be in the mood for filming?
Angela tried to suppress her desire, but the temperature on her cheeks was rising. She was hoping that Victor could just quickly "do it", so she could still go back to filming after.
"Angela, take a day off and let's get a marriage certificate together." After some silence, Victor finally spoke up.
"Victor, are you asking me to marry you?"
The man wanted her to marry him with just a few words. He could dream on...
But, Angela really wanted to say yes. To dote on him and be his legal wife...
Wasn't that what she had been looking forward to?
Now that Victor finally mentioned it, what reason did she have to reject him?
Of course, she could not find any reason to reject him, so she wanted to accept his proposal.
"I." Angela finally replied but she was interrupted, "I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously!"
"Shit!" Angela kicked his groin. Her good mood was ruined by this bastard.
Victor leaned over slightly and dodged Angela's attack. He took advantage of the opportunity to hold her in his arms and then kissed her wildly.
Angela opened her eyes wide and she was groaning with dissatisfaction. She really wanted to bite the bastard to death.
In B City, at the Star Entertainment Club A middle-aged man entered through the door. Without a waiter leading the way, he walked towards a VIP room with the name Bright Stars Entertainment written above the door.
He raised his head and glanced at the door. Without knocking at the door, he just opened the door and walked in.
"Young master, our plan to take Jane away from Jiangbei has failed."
Ed Yates looked at the man with a sinister expression on his face. "What did you say?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "Everything went as you expected. Jane and Edwin got divorced, and he sent her and their daughter away. We also sent people to follow their car according to your arrangement, and attracted Edwin's attention. Everything was going according to our plan, but.."
Halfway through his words, the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Yates. Seeing Ed Yates' gloomy face, he did not dare to continue.
"But what?" Ed Yates's expression and voice were much calmer. There was still plenty of time. There was no winner in this game yet.
However, he knew that the chances of winning were lower if he was impatient, so he had to calm down. He couldn't let himself get in a mess before the enemy even struck him.
The middle-aged man continued, "But we didn't expect Victor to go to the airport and ordered a special force to ambush at the airport. Our men were captured as soon as we wanted to take action. Jane and the others have successfully boarded the plane and flew to New York."
"Victor brought his special forces with him to capture our men?"
Ed sneered. "It seems that Jane is much more important to Edwin than I thought."
As his subordinate said, the rest was under his control. However, he did not expect that Edwin would enlist Victor's help.
Moreover, Victor consented to send a special force over. In the military field, everyone knew that the offensive ability of Victor from the Jiangbei Military was the strongest around.
He never thought that Edwin would protect a woman with such a highly skilled special force.
It was beyond their expectation, so it could prove that Jane meant much more to Edwin than they thought.
Ed was once again certain that Jane was his most important weapon against Edwin. He had to obtain her at all costs.
Seeing that Ed had calmed down a lot, the middle-aged man continued, "Young Master, we failed to stop them at the Jiangbei Airport. I've already asked the people from New York to get ready."
"Shengtian's base is in America. Although their headquarters has moved to Jiangbei, and the Carter family has also returned to Jiangbei to settle down, don't forget that they're also rather powerful in the United States."
This was the reason why Ed wanted people to stop Jane here, before she could board the plane to the United States, even though he knew that
Jiangbei houses both the Carter and James family.
He knew that it was as difficult to capture Jane in both Jiangbei and New York. However, it was better to take her away in front of Edwin's eyes, which could be regarded as a painful lesson for Edwin.
Once Jane arrives in New York, the Carter family will be influential as well. It would not be easy for Ed to snatch her away.
"Young master, don't worry. We have chosen the most capable men over there. Without the protection of the army from Victor, Edwin probably would not expect that we would attack them again, so we could catch them off guard." The man assured.
"Catch him off guard?" Ed interrupted the middle-aged man and said angrily, "Do you think that Edwin's brain is as simple as yours?"
The middle-aged man said, "Young Master, I."
Ed continued, "In Jiangbei, Edwin had asked Victor to send them off with his men. He certainly will be prepared in the United States as well."
"I was wrong, sir. I'm going to send some people to stop Edwin's men before they pick Jane up at the airport in New York."
The man apologized and thought of a solution quickly.
"Tell everything clearly in one go. Next, we need to be fully prepared to deal with Edwin. That man is too hard to deal with." Ed spoke sternly.
Things didn't go as he expected and it had caused him plenty of headaches. But at least he won in the first round.
Edwin did not allow him to leave Jiangbei, but he had left easily. He was now in B City, where the Yates family had its stronghold..
CHAPTER 637 HE ARRANGED EVERYTHING FOR HER
After a 16-hour flight, the plane landed at JFK Airport safely.
It was 3:30 p.m. in New York, The weather in New York was much colder than in Jiangbei.
Jane Ronan shivered the moment the cold air hit her. However, instead of taking care of herself, she quickly fastened Janell's thick jacket tighter and adjusted Andrew's hat.
"Andrew, Janell, this place is much colder than Jiangbei. We must be careful not to catch a cold. Also, we are not familiar with this place. Later on, both of you must hold my hand."
"Mom, I will be obedient and take good care of my brother too. I won't run around." As she saw that Andrew wanted to speak up, Janell spoke immediately before he could.
After that, she also gave Andrew a proud look, it was like she wanted to say, "I am my mother's precious baby. You can't compete with me."
Andrew opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Anyway, his sister had said all the nice words before he could.
Jane touched their heads and said, "Well, both of you are great kids. Let's go pick up our luggage with uncle."
To tell the truth, Jane didn't know what was in their luggage. Edwin probably asked someone to pack all her things up.
Even if she had forgotten something, Edwin would definitely remove it from the house.
Robert then said, "Jane, I'll go get the luggage and pick Mia up. You can wait for me at Exit A with the children."
Jane nodded, "That's good."
Andrew and Janell could not help with anything and they still needed someone to take care of them.
Jane needed to look after them, so it was more convenient for Robert to goalone.
"Mom, I need to go to the toilet." Janell looked at her mother and spoke gently.
"Brother, I'll take Janell to the washroom. You keep an eye on Andrew."
After handing Andrew to Robert, Jane took Janell to the nearest washroom.
The washroom was close to the baggage reclaim area, so there were a lot of people waiting in line to use the washroom.
Jane and Janell were last in the line. At this time, two more people came up and stood closely behind them.
Because the people behind her were too close to her, Jane took two small steps forward with Janell.
As soon as she moved, the people behind her moved closely behind her again. People queuing up would typically keep some distance between themselves.
Jane felt strange that the woman stood closely behind her. She looked back at the woman, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
However, at the moment when Jane turned around, a sharp blade suddenly appeared in the woman's hand, as if it were a magic trick.
The woman's hand quietly reached out to Jane, trying to subdue her.
Unexpectedly, the man behind her moved faster and pointed a gun at the woman's waist.
"Damn it!" She cursed in a low voice. As soon as she found her target, she was already caught by the enemy.
The man pressed the gun against her, and the woman no longer dared to act rashly.
The man with the gun whispered, "Come with me, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
The woman looked at Jane reluctantly, but there was nothing she could do.
Soon, the man with the gun took away the person who wanted to seize Jane. Before she left, she gave a look to the people behind Jane, indicating that she would leave with the enemy first and they could continue protecting their madam.
There were enemies in the washroom, and also in the baggage reclaim area. Wherever Jane and the others went, there were enemies.
However, these enemies were taken away before they could even touch Jane.
So,Jane and the others did not know that a lot of things had actually happened from the moment they got off the plane and waited for their luggage to arrive. Everything had seemed peaceful to them.
Of course,she would never know that it was Edwin who arranged for these for her.
Only after they walked out of the airport did they realize how cold it was. The rain was drizzling and the wind was howling.
It was as if they had reached another world in an instant. Jane said while helping Janell to wear a hat, "Brother, I heard that New York is cold, but I didn't expect it to be so cold. It seems to be colder than Kyoto."
"You have been in Jiangbei for too long and are used to the weather there."
Robert put Mia in Janell's arms and said, "I'm in charge of the luggage, and you're responsible for looking after the two children and Mia."
"Okay." Jane nodded and looked around. "Let's find a hotel to stay. We can't freeze the children."
Jane felt that she had to familiarize with the environment first and inquire about the neighbourhood before she could decide on a place to stay.
Robert dragged two big luggage and walked behind Jane and the two children. "I spent a few years in this city when I was in college, so I'm relatively familiar with it. Let's find a hotel first. I'll help survey for places to rent, and I can also ask my old classmates for some help."
"Mr. Michael, Miss Ronan, I am the driver assigned to take you to your accommodations." Just as they were worried about getting a taxi in this weather, a driver came up to them.
"Sorry, we didn't call for a taxi." They had just arrived at this place and barely made any arrangements. Jane thought that it would be better to keep their guards high.
The driver said, "Miss Ronan, I was arranged by Mr. Barnes, who also arranged for your accommodation. If you don't believe me, you can call him to check."
"Which Mr. Barnes?" Jane did not remember anyone named Barnes.
The driver responded, "Chairman Edwin's special assistant, Mr. Hal Barnes."
Jane knew who he was immediately. Edwin's special assistant had always been so efficient.
However, she still shook her head and said, "Thank you. We don't need your services."
She still had some savings, and with her reputation in the design industry, she would be able to get a stable job.
She could raise her children by herself, so she didn't need Edwin's help.
Since they were divorced, they should cut each other off and no longer have any contact. This would be better for them all.
"Get in the car first. What's wrong with accepting Edwin's help? You're taking three children with you. Shouldn't he help you a little?"
Robert picked Janell up and continued, "If you don't get in the car, the children will get cold." Jane had no choice but to get in the car.
After being in the car for some time, Robert was still nagging, "You requested for this divorce, and you didn't ask for a single penny from Edwin. I guess he's also feeling very sorry for that and wants to compensate you. He's a rich man, and there's no reason for him to not help you. If you don't accept it, he would still send help and support your way anyway. Then matters might get messier.".
CHAPTER 638 BIG BOSS MAKES YOU SLIP UP
"In fact, if you want to really let go of a person, you should treat him like an ordinary acquaintance, you don't need to reject everything he sends your way."
"Jane, you and Edwin have been married for a few years now, but you didn't spend much time with him. Perhaps no one else can see his feelings for you clearly. What Angela said to you today was true. In the three years when you were missing, without Janell, he might not have been able to hold on."
"Later, you came back, but you didn't remember him. I also saw how sad he was. Now I have regained my senses and my thoughts are clear. I admit I had been confused for a while after our father was murdered, and even dragged you into that mess, it was my mistake."
Robert had spoken a lot at a go. Jane thought sarcastically that he should have been a motivational speaker, and not a psychologist.
Why didn't she know that he was so good at speaking?In fact, Jane had always firmly believed that Edwin would not be the murderer behind her father's violent death.
When they quarrelled that day, she was just so angry that she accused him. When Edwin admitted to her claims angrily, she regretted her words.
However, the damage was done. After that, Jane had stopped listening to Robert. She thought about what Robert had just said.
If she could really let go of her feelings for him, she could treat him like an ordinary acquaintance when they met again.
The mere mention of his name had caused her heart to ache so much that she could hardly breathe.
In this life, how could ever she treat Edwin like an ordinary acquaintance?
"I miss Daddy" Janell muttered in her sleep when Jane was lost in thought. She had only been away from her father for less than 24 hours.
The little girl was talking in her sleep already and called for her father, which made Jane sad.
She lowered her head and kissed Janell. "Baby, I will love you as much as Daddy loves you."
No matter what life would be like in the future, Jane was a little confused on the road ahead, but it didn't matter. As long as her precious ones were with her, she would be able to hold on.
They arrived at their destination after nearly an hour's drive. The bungalows in front of them looked luxurious and they were surrounded by pleasant surrounding landscapes.
The cars that they passed looked very expensive too. Jane asked Robert, "Brother, where are we? It looks very expensive here."
Robert said, "Edwin's gift wouldn't be too cheap." That was his brief yet accurate answer.
Robert was right, Edwin's gift wouldn't be too cheap. Besides, this was the place where his "former wife" and their children would live from now on.
Edwin had restrained himself by not arranging for a huge villa for them.
"Bitch, I didn't sleep for a whole night, and now you're finally here."
A familiar voice ranged in the air. Karen looked up and saw a pregnant Laura Ferdinand running towards her.
"Laura, why are you here? Slow down." Jane was so worried at the speed that Laura was moving.
No wonder John Alex didn't want her to go out alone. With Laura's recklessness, she would cause havoc if she went out alone.
"Why can't I be here?" Laura ran over and gave Jane a big hug. "Bitch, you're getting more and more annoying. You didn't tell me that you were coming to America. If John Alex hadn't heard the news from Hal, I wouldn't have known that you are in New York."
Laura knew that Jane had come to New York because when John and Hal were chatting on the phone, she heard Hal spill the beans and so she asked more about it.
In fact, if they thought about it carefully, they would understand that this matter was definitely not as simple as a slip of the tongue.
Hal Barnes was chosen as Edwin's special assistant. Part of his job was to keep secrets!
Therefore, the reason why he had a slip of tongue was definitely because Edwin ordered him to share the news with Laura inconspicuously Jane was coming to America, and Laura happened to be in America too.
If he didn't tell Laura, who else could Barnes share the news with?
"I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to inform you." Jane was really happy to see her best friend in an unfamiliar place.
The fatigue of travelling for so many hours, and the pain from the divorce were temporarily forgotten.
"Laura, it's been a while," Robert greeted politely.
"Robert, yes, it's been a while." Laura greeted him with a smile and then looked at Andrew, who was standing beside Jane.
"This must be Andrew, right? What a lovely child."
"Thank you, Aunt Laura!" No one had introduced Laura to Andrew, but he was very observant. He just heard his mother call her name out, so he addressed her respectfully.
"So adorable!" Laura smiled. "I didn't prepare a gift for you today. I'll make it up to you some other day."
"Aunt Laura, don't you recognize me?" Her Aunt Laura had spoken to Andrew first, so Janell demanded for attention bitterly.
"How could I not recognize you? You are so important to me, so how could I forget you?"
As she spoke, Laura picked Janell up immediately, and frightened Jane with her actions!
"Laura, Janell is too heavy. Don't hold her in your arms. Be careful with your baby." Jane was so worried that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"The baby is fine. It's okay!" Laura was at ease.
Jane once again understood how tired and worried John was. Laura really didn't regard pregnancy as a big deal. How could he not worry about her?
"Janell, we haven't seen each other for months. You got prettier." Laura pinched Janell's face again. "Oh my god, what should I do?"
Janell became more and more adorable, and Laura liked her so much so that she wanted to make Janell her daughter-in-law.
However, her son had not even been born yet. "Aunt Laura, I eat well every day, so I grew prettier." Janell was happy to receive praises.
Laura wanted to ask more questions, but she realized that everyone was still standing outside the house, so she ushered everyone in, "Let's not stand outside. Let's head inside to catch up. Jane, I've checked out the house. The cleaner is very diligent, so this house is much cleaner than mine. I believe you will be satisfied when you see it.".
