Angela Carter understood the reason, but when she thought that there was a bastard who wanted to attack them, she couldn't resist being angry, "Those bastards better watch out. I will ask Victor to deal with them and feed them to the dogs!."
"Mom, you can talk about these things when we are out of this dangerous situation." Although Levi James was young, he spoke like a little adult. Many times, he was much more sensible than his bad tempered mother.
"Brat, you're insulting your mother again!" Perhaps Victor James had been protecting her too well these years and Angela wouldn't take it seriously even in the face of danger.
Perhaps it was because she believed that Victor would appear in time and he would not allow anyone to hurt them.
"Little Aunt, Levi is right. Let's walk slowly. Don't walk too fast. We can't let them know that we realized something's wrong." Compared to Angela, Janell Joy Carter was more rational, and thought more comprehensively on what their next move should be.
After all, there were a significant number of men they had to be wary of, she didn't even know where they came from and what they wanted. She didn't know if Blake White was close by at all, which made her a little worried.
After all, she was the one who had brought her Little Aunt and Levi with her. Of course, she had to bring them home safely too.
After walking for some distance, because she couldn't look behind her, Janell Joy took out her mobile phone and observed the situation using the screen of the mobile phone.
She said, "That person is making a phone call. He must be asking for instructions from his boss. Little Aunt, Levi, let's use this chance to walk ahead quickly!"
Angela nodded and said, "Okay."
The fake messenger was not clueless either. When he was done with the phone call, he looked at them as they were walking away, and instantly noticed that something was wrong. He waved his hand and stepped forward to chase them.
Janell Joy was alerted, "Little Aunt, Levi, that man is chasing after us. Let's walk faster and get into a crowded place. No matter what happens later, hide behind me and I will protect you."
Among the three people, Janell Joy was the only one who had learned self defence and martial arts, and she was quite good at it.
If the other party didn't have too many people or were highly-skilled, she would be able to hold on for a while. She had to hold on until her forces arrived.
Angela said worriedly, "Janell..."
Janell Joy interrupted her and said, "Little Aunt, don't say anything more. Prioritize protecting Levi. Levi, you have to take good care of your mother, do you understand?"
"Yes, I will." Levi nodded heavily.
Victor had conditioned his son, Levi, since he was a little boy. He was prepared for any situation.
Soon, Janell Joy realized something was not right. The tourists around them did not seem like real tourists. They did not look at the attractions, and they would throw furtive glances at Janell Joy and her family from time to time. Oh no!
Janell Joy screamed in her heart. It seemed that it wouldn't be so easy for them to escape.
Angela also noticed something unusual and said, "Janell, the surrounding people are walking towards us, they look as if they want to gobble us up!"
Janell Joy instinctively protected Angela and Levi. "Little Aunt, let's agree on this first, no matter what happens, just escape whenever possible."
The people around them surrounded the three of them from all around. They were being trapped.
Within a short time, those people had surrounded them closely and tightly and they couldn't break through.
The man came forward with viciousness in his eyes, but he still pretended to smile and said, "Mrs. James, Captain James has already sent a car to wait for you not far away. You can fix your make up in the car if you need to."
The man had a forced smile on his face, but his tone was very harsh. He didn't give them any choice, and he was trying to take them into the car by force.
"How can I do that? If I don't dress up beautifully, I won't have the mood to see him. When I'm not in the mood, even if he surprises me, I won't be happy. Old Victor would rather wait for me for a few hours than to see me unhappy!" Angela's words were somewhat barbaric, she seemed like an unreasonable woman.
After all, Angela was an actress who had won several Best Actress awards. With her skills, she could still act like she did not find the man suspicious.
Moreover, Janell Joy and Levi were also calm, so the man really could not tell that the three of them had already known it was a trap.
Just at the moment when the man hesitated, another man stood out from behind him and said, "Brother Ronnie, Captain James wants them now. No matter what means you use, you just have to take them back."
What that person meant was that there was no need to fool around or be patient with these three people anymore.
Now that they were surrounded, they could just bring them back. What was the point of talking so much nonsense?
"What do you mean by that? Let me tell you this, if you don't treat me well, Victor will skin you alive." The barbaric warning was particularly in line with Angela's barbaric image.
Angela's words attracted a lot of scornful gazes, which sounded like they were saying, "She's already at death's end, how can still be so arrogant. She is really idiotic!"
They were focused on Angela, but they didn't realize that Janell Joy had already secretly dialled Nathaniel Cooper's number when Angela was distracting them.
She was now in danger in Country A, and so many people were surrounding them. Of course, the only person who could save them was her Brother Lucas.
However, he might not arrive in time. When Brother Lucas receives the phone call and rushes over, the three of them might probably have been taken away.
What should they do now?
Angela Joy thought for a moment and decided to use a risky method to get away.
She said, "Little Aunt, why don't you take Levi to the bathroom? I'll get in the car with them and wait for you."
If their target was her, then as long as she got in their car, they would no longer care about Angela and Levi. Hence, the mother and son could escape first.
When she proposed this idea, she immediately saw the man's eyes light up. Janell Joy could now confirm that their target was her.
If their target was just herself, then the matter didn't seem too hard.
Angela wanted to say something, but she also knew that this was the best way they could think of. It would be best if the three of them could leave together, but if they couldn't go together, it would be better if the two of them escaped.
Both the mother and son were vulnerable and did not know martial arts. If they were taken away with Janell Joy, it would only increase her burden to watch out for them. It was better to find Victor in time and have him rescue Janell Joy.
After Janell Joy proposed to get in the car first, the people who surrounded them made way for her. The man leading the operation led her to the car.
927
The car was a luxurious eight~seater commercial car, parked at the exit of the staff entrance next to the scenic area, which was very close to where Janell Joy Carter, Angela Carter, and Levi James were hanging out earlier.
Very soon, Janell Joy was taken to the side of the car by the leader. She stood still and looked back but she couldn't see Angela and Levi anymore.
She could no longer see Angela and Levi, and Janell Joy was slightly relieved. She believed that as long as Angela escaped from these people's sight, they could think of a way to escape.
"Miss Carter, please get in the car!" The man stepped forward and opened the door. The impatience in his tone was getting obvious. They were acting ruthlessly now.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Janell Joy raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at the man. She turned around and got into the car. After all, she was in a weaker position now, she couldn't offend them just yet.
As soon as Janell Joy got in the car and sat down, the man also got in the car and sat down beside her. He immediately ordered, "Drive!"
As soon as the man gave the order, the driver started the car quickly and drove out of the scenic area in a very short time, leaving most of their people far behind.
The man did not take any measures to restrain Janell Joy or restrict her vision. While in the car, Janell Joy could look out of the windows, she took note of the road signs on both sides of the road.
Besides the driver, there was another man sitting in the passenger seat, and then there were herself and the rude man next to her, in the back seat.
Hence, there were three tall and strong men in the car, and Janell Joy could vaguely make out the bulging muscles under their suits. She thought, these men were physically built to attack.
Although she had practised Taekwondo since she was a child and was rather skilful, she didn't know the strength of these three men and couldn't tell whether she could win or lose in a fight against them. Therefore, she couldn‘t act ruthlessly.
Just as Janell Joy was thinking about ways to escape, she realized that the gaze of the man next to her seemed to feel different all of a sudden.
She looked around and saw that the man's eyes were fixed on her chest. He was peering so attentively at her, like he could see through her clothes.
"Disgusting!" Janell Joy wanted to dig out the man's eyes, but her face remained calm.
She would not act rashly before she was sure that she would be able to escape from them or defeat the three of them.
"Little girl, you look quite attractive." The man gulped and raised his eyebrows. He looked at Janell Joy with lust in his eyes.
Janell Joy pursed her lips and smiled. She turned her head and looked out of the car. She didn't look at his lustful eyes. She moved her body to the side and folded her arms.
No one had ever had the courage to stare at her like this. If they did, she would dig their eyeballs out.
However, it was different now. She needed to play safe and be careful. Therefore, Janell Joy had to grit her teeth and endure it.
Janell Joy held back, and the man was getting over his head. The words he said became more disgusting and obscene. "You're so young but puberty has done you good. Look at your curvy body, it really makes my heart itch. I really want to press your body under mine, and show you some tender loving care."
Janell Joy still didn't say a word, but she clenched her fists a little more tightly.
The man approached her and said, "Little girl, do you know where you are going today?"
Janell Joy clenched her fists even tighter.
It didn't matter where she went, but she knew that she would definitely make this man die a miserable death.
The man noticed Janell Joy's anger, but he still thought nothing of this weak little girl. He continued to say, "I'll tell you because I'm kind. Since you have gotten on this vehicle with me, there is no chance for you to leave here safely."
Janell Joy‘s calm face aroused him. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch her. "You're not going to be pure anymore anyway, why don't you let me taste you first? I really want to know what's different between a woman that Nathaniel attached so much importance to, compared to other women?"
As soon as she heard his last sentence, Janell Joy couldn't bear it anymore. She launched her fist and punched heavily on the man's nose. After getting hit, his face was now full of his own saliva, "Do you know now? This is Nathaniel's woman." She said menacingly.
Even if she didn't have the confidence to beat up these three people in the car, even if she couldn't get out of danger, she couldn't let such a disgusting man touch her.
"B*tch, I‘m giving you a chance, but you don't want it! You are courting death!" The man raised his hand and was about to fight back, his fist was aiming towards Janell Joy.
However, as soon as the man raised his hand, a cold and hard pistol was pressed against the man's head.
A young man had poked the man's head hard with a gun and said in a cold voice, "If you want to live, you'd better listen to me."
Because his back was facing the front of the car, the man could not see who was holding the gun against him. He still said arrogantly, "Do you know who you are pointing the gun at? When we get back, I will definitely have my superiors kill you, you ungrateful b*stard."
"Blake, why are you here?" Janell Joy looked forward and saw Blake White holding the gun against the man. She could not hide her joy.
"Since you're here, of course I will be here." Blake did not reveal his identity earlier, because the other party had too many people on their side.
The people who had followed Janell Joy were not only Blake, but also a group of people Nathaniel sent to protect her.
After discussing with them, Blake formed this plan to get rid of the two people in the car first and then, get Janell Joy out of danger.
The driver and Blake were responsible for Janell Joy‘s safety. The rest of their comrades rescued Angela Carter and her son. They just received the news that the mother and son duo was safe.
"Hmmph! It's just you guys!" Even if he couldn't see them, the man still "recognized" the person who was holding the gun at him.
Janell Joy had addressed the person as 'Blake", which was not a common name around her. And for the man to appear by Janell Joy's side so quickly, the ruffian couldn't think of anyone else besides the infamous White family.
"Since you know it's us, and you already know who she is, you still have the guts to make a move on her? It seems that the person behind you is also a big shot," Blake said.
The man snorted, "It's good that you know that. If my superior could be this brave, it signifies that he has never been afraid of anyone. The White family has nothing to do with this matter. It's still not too late to get out of here. Why would you want to get involved in this mess?"
"Thank you for your reminder!" Blake raised his hand and punched heavily on the man's head. He wanted to knock him out so that he wouldn't have to listen to his blabber.
928
Who would have expected that one knock did not have much effect on the man. The man forced himself to say, "Blake, you are a smart guy. You can live a free life, what benefits can you get by helping the Carter family?"
Blake White smiled coldly and said, "We have never thought about the benefits of helping the Carter family. We only know that even if we need to sacrifice ourselves, we are still willing to help."
Both the White brothers were only 22 years old. Ten years ago, they were only 12. There were some things that they couldn't remember, however, the brothers and their mother remembered vividly that Edwin Carter was the one who saved their lives.
If it hadn't been for Edwin's help, the White family of three wouldn't have lived to this day. Edwin's life saving grace meant a lot to them and they were immensely grateful. Because of that, they decided to repay Edwin with the rest of their lives.
"Sacrifice" The man continued to persuade, "With your family's reputation, there are so many people who are willing to pay a high price to get your help, why would you make yourself suffer like this?"
"Then I can also tell you that we, the White family, are not motivated by money," Blake said and once again raised his gun and knocked him violently.
After knocking him with the gun handle, the man struggled a little before finally passing out.
Blake poked the man's head with a gun, looked at Janell Joy Carter, and asked, "Miss, how do you want to deal with this man?"
Janell Joy raised her foot and kicked the man hard. A cold malice flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Since he really likes to take advantage of women, let's make sure that he can never take advantage of women again in the future."
Blake felt a sharp pain on his private part when he heard Janell Joy's words. He looked at Janell Joy in surprise.
In his impression, Janell Joy was a kind and lovely girl who would not say such harsh words or use such a vicious punishment.
Janell Joy raised her eyebrows. "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Blake immediately replied, "Yes. I'll do as you say." Ring...
The mobile phone suddenly rang. Janell Joy looked at it and realized that it was Angela Carter. When she answered the phone, she heard Angela's voice saying,
"Janell, are you out of danger already?"
"Yes, Little Aunt, I'm fine now." Janell Joy nodded and said, "Little Aunt, are you and Levi okay?"
Although she knew that someone had saved them, Janell Joy still needed to hear it from Angela for reassurance.
“We are fine..." Angela suddenly paused and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Fortunately, you are fine. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your parents?"
Angela regretted it the moment Janell Joy left.
The three of them were in danger at the same time. In theory, it was better for the two of them to escape, than to have all three of them being caught. But anyhow, she shouldn't have let Janell Joy take those risks.
If something really happened to Janell Joy, her cold brother would blow up Country A.
Thank God!
Angela put her palms together devoutly, closed her eyes, and murmured a prayer to herself.
Fortunately, Janell Joy was fine.
"Little Aunt, don't worry. The people around you should be the ones arranged by Brother Lucas. We will all be fine." Janell Joy also breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness her Little Aunt and Levi were safe.
The driver didn't say a word and drove steadily towards the North Palace. It was a place that many people wanted to visit but could never approach, enchanting yet mysterious.
The driver drove through a series of security checkpoints and finally stopped the car. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Janell Joy. “Miss Carter, Mr. President asked me to bring you to the lounge to rest for a while. He is meeting someone outside and he will be back later to see you."
Janell Joy looked around and did not see Angela and Levi James, she was a little worried. "Where is Mrs. James and Little Master James? Are they not here?"
The driver said respectfully, "Miss Carter, not everyone can come in casually. But you can rest assured that our people will send Mrs. James and Little Master James to Captain James's side safely.“
The driver was Jamie, who was Nathaniel Cooper's private driver. When Janell Joy met with Nathaniel secretly back then, she had seen him many times before, so she believed in his words.
Janell Joy nodded and said, "Then please take good care of them."
The VIP lounge in North Palace was really for VIPs. Even though Janell Joy was born into the wealthy Carter family, she still felt that this lounge was very luxurious.
It was not about how luxurious the interior design was, but it was the meticulous attention to details in every design and the decorative items including the fine ornaments on the wall, which were all hand-made. It was not even an exaggeration to say that these decorations were priceless.
Janell Joy studied them carefully. It seemed that Country A's unique culture and specialties could be seen all around this room, which had been used to entertain foreign guests.
However, she did not know that this lounge was not used to entertain foreign guests, it was Nathaniel's private resting lounge in North Palace.
Nathaniel was the leader of the country, but he didn't like extravagant things, so this lounge was carefully designed in such a way.
Selling a single piece of the items from the room, would not be worth a lot of money. However, if the whole set of items were being used together as decoration, they became priceless.
Janell Joy looked around for a while and saw a book on the bookshelf called, "Give Your Heart to Me".
By the name of the book, it must be a romance novel. Why would there be a book like this in a room used for entertaining foreign guests? Shouldn't they put books on politics here?
Out of curiosity, Janell Joy reached out to take the book and opened it. At the bottom of the preface, she saw this "If you love me, give your heart to me!"
It was indeed a romance novel.
Janell Joy continued to flip through the pages. After reading a few pages, she found that the male lead in the book lost his sight in an accident and wanted to give up on the female lead. It was the female lead's love that guided the male lead out of the dark and brought them together again.
It was indeed a touching story, but Janell Joy was not touched, because she believed that no matter what the reason was, as long as you really loved someone, you wouldn't give the person up easily.
If you gave up, you would feel that you no longer have the psychological burden, but what about the other person? Would you ever think about what she would do if she lost you?
If he was considerate of her, he would not give her up easily.
After closing the book, Janell Joy waited. Her eyelids grew heavier as she waited, yet Brother Lucas was still not back to see her.
She lay on the sofa with her eyes closed and thought, "In Brother Lucas's heart, his work and his country will always be his first priority. When will he be able to put me as his first priority?"
Although this was a negative thought, she liked Brother Lucas deeply. So she could not help but hope that she was more important than others things Brother Lucas's heart.
929
Sigh! Janell Joy Carter sighed silently.
She knew clearly that Brother Lucas loved her, but why was there no sense of security in her heart?
She had always been smart, but she couldn't figure out why she always felt so uneasy about her relationship with Brother Lucas.
After waiting for a long time, Janell Joy couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep in a daze. She was still thinking about her Brother Lucas in her sleep. "Brother Lucas, what are you really busy with? Don't you know how much I want you to be with me right now?"
Although Janell Joy was out of danger from today's kidnapping and she didn't get hurt or suffer any harm, she still had some anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.
At this time, she needed the company of her Brother Lucas. She hoped that he could give her a warm hug and tell her, "Don't be afraid Janell, I'm here."
What she wanted was that simple, but Brother Lucas had yet to appear. Her mood sank.
……….
Victor James went to see Nathaniel Cooper. Before he met Nathaniel, Victor didn't think highly of Nathaniel because he didn't give Janell Joy a fair identity as his woman.
If a man couldn't even give his beloved woman a fair identity, this man was definitely not someone to entrust her life to.
After meeting Nathaniel and after a conversation between the two, Victor had reacquainted himself with this new President of Country A.
Before the age of 30, Nathaniel had assumed the position as the President of Country A, and became the youngest president in the history of Country A.
Of course, it was not because of his outstanding looks. It had everything to do with his accurate political insights, ability to distinguish talents, his personal capabilities and many more unique skills he had.
During the conversation, Nathaniel put forward two possibilities, which were something Victor had not thought of, and they were very likely to happen.
Because he had a new understanding of this young man, Victor had changed his attitude towards him. At the end of the conversation, Victor did not forget to remind Nathaniel, "Kid, as long as you treat our Janell well, everything can be discussed. In other words, if you mistreat our Janell, there will be nothing to talk about, between us."
Victor's words were not pleasant, but his words seemed to imply that he sincerely recognized Nathaniel as the future son-in-law of the Carter family.
His words also hinted to Nathaniel that if he wanted to get the approval of his father-in-law, Edwin Carter, everything else was not as important as treating
Janell Joy well.
Nathaniel nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your reminder, Captain James. I will pay attention to that in the future. I also wish for our successful collaboration to unravel the person behind as soon as possible."
Victor said, "Okay. If that person dares to come out and cause trouble again, I will definitely seize him. I really want to see who the big shot is, hiding behind the scenes."
Nathaniel smiled and said, "Me too. And I believe we are not far from the day when the truth is finally unveiled."
The one year time limit Edwin had given him was decreasing day by day. He had to deal with all the dangers behind him before he could officially have Janell Joy by his side.
After the discussion, Victor and Nathaniel did not continue further. They went out of the secret meeting room one after another.
Victor walked in front while Nathaniel walked at the back, they deliberately kept some distance.
After a few steps, Nathaniel saw someone approaching Victor and whispered something to him.
Then Victor dashed away in a lightning speed. What could make Victor leave in such a hurry?
With a question in his mind, Nathaniel withdrew his gaze. His personal bodyguard, Horatio, happened to walk up to him at this time and reported, "Mr. President, Miss Carter was attacked while you were meeting Mr. James today."
Nathaniel raised his eyebrows, and his eyes turned piercing cold in an instance as he looked at Horatio. "What did you say?"
Seeing that Nathaniel's expression was not right, Horatio added immediately, "But our people have already sent Miss Carter back to the North Palace safely. She is now resting in your lounge in the North Palace and waiting for you."
Nathaniel had already walked out quickly. His speed was even faster than that of Victor just now. At the same time, he blurted, "You guys are bold."
Damn it!
Janell Joy was attacked, but they didn't report to him instantly. Who gave them such courage to make the decision to hide the truth?
Horatio was confused. He thought that he had done a good job in rescuing Miss Carter from the kidnapping. Why did the President suddenly say that? He really couldn't understand.
Later on, Jason Lesley patted Horatio who was standing there in a daze, and he said, "You didn't inform Mr. President immediately when something happened to Miss Carter, don't you think you are bold?"
Hearing Jason's words, Horatio looked even more innocent and aggrieved. "Secretary Lesley, Mr. President had said that nobody and nothing should disturb him during his meeting with Captain James."
Jason really wanted to knock Horatio on his head. He kindly reminded Horatio again, "Miss Carter is a unique person, for Mr. President. so she is most definitely excluded from any circumstance."
Horatio scratched his head and said unknowingly, “Mr. President didn't give any special orders, how would I know Miss Carter was special?"
"You've been with the President for so many years, but you don't know that Miss Carter is special to the President?" Jason could not help but sigh. "No wonder the President puts you in such an important position and always takes you along wherever he goes."
Those with great agility were not as smart, but yet the less smart ones were highly loyal. This was Jason's evaluation of Horatio.
Horatio was even more confused. Wasn't the President scolding him just now?
Although he still had some doubts, there was no time for him to think about it. Mr. President wanted to return to the North Palace, and he had to follow the President to ensure his safety at all times.
When Nathaniel returned to the North Palace, he heard Janell Joy muttering as he walked into the lounge. She was frowning slightly and was mumbling in an aggrieved tone, "Brother Lucas, what are you busy with? Don't you know how much I hope you can be with me right now?"
Hearing Janell Joy's words, Nathaniel felt a squeeze in his heart. He was distressed and anxious. Usually, Janell Joy would always ask him to focus on his work. In fact, deep down in her heart, she had wanted him to spend more time with her, but he always didn't have time for her.
"Janell..." Nathaniel wanted to say more, but no words came out. He stepped forward and sat beside her, then gently held her in his arms.
"Brother Lucas..." Feeling a sudden warmth and a whiff of familiar masculine smell, out of instinct, Janell Joy snuggled in his arms and fell asleep soundly.
930
"Janell, I'm here!" Nathaniel Cooper stroked Janell Joy Carter's head gently and said her name softly.
However, Janell Joy did not answer. She was sleeping soundly in his arms and even snored occasionally. It was very adorable.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Janell Joy had fallen into a deep sleep, Nathaniel grabbed her by the waist and carried her to the bedroom within the lounge.
He walked very slowly and very carefully, as if he was worried that he might wake her up if he walked too fast.
Arriving at the bedroom, Nathaniel bent down and carefully put Janell Joy on the bed. "Janell, sleep for a while. I will be here with you."
After putting her down, Nathaniel sat down next to her. Looking at her sleeping face, she looked quiet and
adorable, with the charm of a little lady. Nathaniel couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch her face. He couldn't get enough of her.
At the same, he didn't even realize that he had lowered his head to kiss her. He didn't come to his senses until his lips touched hers.
Ha...
He wanted to laugh at his own actions. He had always been very good at self-control, but he was always out of control in front of this girl.
She was growing more and more attractive. He was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself and gobble her up one day!
When Nathaniel's thin lips touched her cheek, Janell Joy, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and reached out to hold his neck.
She blinked at him and smiled proudly, "Brother Lucas, you secretly kissed me! I caught you this time. Let's see how you are going to deny it."
He secretly kissed her and she caught him doing it.
Nathaniel decided to take it further instead and held Janell Joy's head towards him to kiss her deeply.
It was not until Janell Joy was out of breath in his arms had he reluctantly let go of the sweet little thing. "Is this still considered as secretly kissing you?"
Janell Joy didn't know what to say. Humph...
Brother Lucas was always the better kisser and used this method to shut her mouth every time. She vowed that she would "take revenge" one day.
She blinked her eyes and soon came up with an idea, "Brother Lucas, how can you be so silly? Didn't you realize that I was pretending to be asleep?"
She smiled brightly. Her eyebrows were curved and her eyes glinted like stars. Seeing this, Nathaniel was overcome with emotions. He shook his head slowly and said, "No."
"Brother Lucas, you are so silly!" Janell Joy poked him between his eyebrows with her slender and fair finger. "You are the President of a country. How can you be fooled so easily?"
Nathaniel looked at her, but he smiled without saying anything. Did she know that he was willingly being teased because it was her. No one else could have the privilege to do so.
Janell Joy pouted and said, "Brother Lucas, does your silence mean that you think I had said something wrong? It's not the first time I found out that you are silly, don't you deny it."
Nathaniel did not speak. Instead, he climbed onto the bed and pressed her under his body. He looked at her and said, “I didn't deny it."
He looked at her with burning eyes, his voice was husky, and they were in an ambiguous and flirtatious posture... Oh no! What was Brother Lucas doing?
At the thought of what Brother Lucas might do to her, Janell Joy was so nervous she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. In her trembling heart, she was looking forward to what Brother Lucas would do to her next.
What was she thinking about?
A few days ago, she still felt that she was a child who was too innocent to understand anything. How could she have such dirty thoughts today?
She was fantasizing about Brother Lucas finally claiming her as his woman!
"Janell..." Brother Lucas called her name. What did he want to say to her?
If he were to ask for her willingness to give herself to him...
Janell Joy thought for a moment. Before Nathaniel could ask her, she nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Lucas, I, I am willing."
Anyway, she would become Brother Lucas's bride sooner or later. Brother Lucas was an adult already, he had his physical needs. She would just give herself to him early.
Janell Joy closed her eyes, as if she was ready to give it all to him.
"I'm sorry!" Brother Lucas said these words.
Why would Brother Lucas suddenly say these words to her?
Brother Lucas suddenly said these words before she could agree to his request. What did Brother Lucas mean? Could it be that Brother Lucas was impotent?
With this idea, Janell Joy really didn't know what to say. She looked at Nathaniel, her face red.
Because this matter was related to the pride of a man. No matter how she comforted him, she was afraid that it would hurt Brother Lucas's self esteem.
Oh no!
What could she do? What should she do? She didn't want to hurt Brother Lucas.
"I'm sorry!" Nathaniel was not aware of the nonsense she was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely prove her wrong with practical actions.
"Brother Lucas... It, it doesn't matter. No matter how you are, I will accept you." Anyway, she liked Brother Lucas, and they didn't need to have sex to live a happy life together.
"Janell, how can you be so sensible?" Nathaniel lowered his head and kissed her. He kissed her from the eyebrows, then moved downwards and finally stopped at her collarbone. "You were almost kidnapped today, and I didn't come to your side immediately, how can you not blame me?"
She should blame him. She had hoped that he could be there for her in time, and she kept nagging him in her sleep.
But when he came to her side, she did not mention that she had been kidnapped. This silly girl was so sensible that sometimes it frustrated him.
"Brother Lucas, I won't blame you. I will treat you even better in the future. I will always stay with you." Janell Joy stretched out her hands to hold Nathaniel tightly, and inadvertently closed the gap between each other's bodies.
Every time Janell Joy moved, Nathaniel could feel every soft and beautiful curves of the body that was uniquely hers.
This girl had inadvertently seduced him again. Did she know that if he couldn't control the temptation eventually, she would have to face a beast?
"Janell... Do you know what you're doing?" Nathaniel's voice was already hoarse.
"Brother Lucas, of course I know... no..." Janell Joy suddenly realized something. She realized that Brother Lucas was different from usual.
Even though she hadn't experienced it, she had studied biology and had seen it on the Internet. She realized the change on Brother Lucas's body.
Just now, she was still laughing at Brother Lucas's silliness. She was obviously the silly one here. How could she be so silly to think that Brother Lucas was impotent?
He was obviously very capable. She knew by just looking at how much he craved for it.
She still remembered that when Brother Lucas held her in his arms the last time, he also had the same reaction as today. At that time, she knew about it. Why on earth did she think he was impotent today?
Oh no!
How would she put out the fire?
931
Oh no! What could she do?
In what ways should she help to put out Brother Lucas's desire? If not, she would just let Brother Lucas have her.
Anyway, she was looking forward to moving into that intimate stage with Brother Lucas deep down in her heart. So much that she would have lustful dreams from time to time at night.
Just when Janell Joy Carter was about to surrender herself to Brother Lucas, Nathaniel Cooper let go of her, got out of the bed, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Nathaniel was so quick that before Janell Joy could say anything to stop him, he had disappeared from her sight.
“Brother Lucas..." Janell Joy looked at the door, her eyes full of disappointment, and her heart was bitter, she had a sudden impulse to cry.
After Nathaniel went out, he quickly went into the bathroom in the lounge next door. Following that, Janell Joy heard the sound of running water.
She was guessing that Brother Lucas wanted to take a shower before he did it with her...
Because of the indecent images she had in her mind, Janell Joy could feel her heart beating faster and faster as she lay on the bed. Her heart was beating so fast it seemed to want to jump out of her mouth.
"Brother Lucas, I'm ready!" she silently called him. She was so nervous that her hands could not help but clenched into fists.
She began taking in deep breaths to relieve the nervousness in her heart. After all, she had no experience in this area. Losing one's virginity was really very important to a girl.
She hoped that she could relax a little and give her best to Brother Lucas without leaving behind any regrets.
However, Janell Joy waited until her heart gradually calmed down and she had almost fallen asleep, yet Brother Lucas was still in the bathroom.
What was Brother Lucas doing?
Janell Joy didn't want to wait any longer. She intended to take the initiative. After all, this was the path she had chosen, so she absolutely wouldn't regret it.
She gritted her teeth, mustered up her courage in front of the bathroom door and knocked. "Brother Lucas, what are you doing in the bathroom? Don't you know that I'm waiting for you outside?"
Her soft and unique voice, could effortlessly disrupt Nathaniel's mind. The desire in Nathaniel that he had tried so hard to suppress, was once again provoked.
”Damn it!“ Nathaniel growled in a low voice and punched hard on the wall. His angry eyes were like the eyes of a devouring beast.
"Brother Lucas, what happened to you?" Janell Joy was scared and took a step back. She calmed down and went forward to lean against the door and asked him again.
"Janell, stay away from me! Don't let me hear your voice again!“ Nathaniel roared, and his voice almost shakes the door.
This girl, he didn't want to hurt her, but she had inadvertently ignited the desire he had tried so hard to suppress. He could be sure that if she were to say just one more word, he would subdue her without any mercy.
"Oh..." Janell Joy nodded, turned around and walked out. As she walked, she kept turning back to look at the bathroom door, until she could no longer see it. Then she quickened her pace and left.
Brother Lucas had never talked to her in such a tone. Was he tired of her? Or did he think she was a troublemaker?
She didn't know. She was so depressed she felt like crying, but she tried hard to force back the tears in her eyes.
When she walked out of the North Palace, she looked up at the sky.
The sky was dark by now, and snowflakes were scattered in the sky. The snowflakes fell on the street, on the roof, and on the passers-by on the street.
In previous years, during the first snow, she was always at her home in New York.
She would drag Little Precious to the garden to gather up the snow to make ice pops. The both of them would have a good time.
It had been the same for many years, and it had never changed.
But what about this year?
At the first snow this year, she was in a foreign country and with Brother Lucas. She should be very happy, but she was not as happy as the past years.
Would loving someone really make her different from what she used to be? Would it strip away her confidence and make her sentimental?
Her mother had never told her that loving someone would be like this.
If she had known that it would be like this, she would not have liked a person with all her heart. If she had kept half of her heart to herself, her mood would not be easily affected by others.
As she walked in the snow, snowflakes landed on her head and soon turned into water droplets. But she continued walking without realizing it.
Suddenly, an umbrella was held over her head, blocking away the falling snow. She felt happy and said, "Brother Lucas..."
She thought Brother Lucas had come after her. When she looked up and saw Andrew Carter, she was so disappointed that her bright eyes darkened once again.
Andrew said, "You must be very disappointed I am not Brother Lucas."
"Yes, I'm very disappointed!" Janell Joy smiled bitterly, without concealing her real thoughts. "You‘re stalking me again? Andrew, how much free time do you have in a day?"
Andrew followed her pace and said slowly, "I'm in full charge of Shengtian's business in Country A. How free do you think I am?"
Janell Joy gave him a side-eye and said, "Since there are so many things to do, you should focus on your work. Don't come and bother me."
Andrew shrugged and said, "I don‘t have time to care about you too, but Dad wants me to stay here, so I can't run away from being responsible for your safety. Today, you were almost kidnapped. Where was Nathaniel?"
Janell Joy instinctively defended her Brother Lucas and said, "When I was taken away today, it was Brother Lucas's men who took me back."
Andrew asked again, "Where was he then?"
Janell Joy did not like his tone and said angrily, “His whereabouts has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to be so nosy? You just need to take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
Andrew snorted. " Nathaniel has nothing to do with me, but you are related to me, you are related to the Carter family, and to Shengtian."
Because Andrew was actually right, Janell Joy was even angrier. She shouted at him, "Andrew, what are you trying to say exactly?"
Andrew said in a low voice, "I‘m here to tell you that you are the precious daughter of Edwin Carter, the leader of Shengtian. Since you were a child, you could have what you want, no one could harm or make you sad. But now, why would you come to such a damned place to let a man torment you?"
Yes, Janell Joy admitted, Andrew was right.
Since she was a child, she had everything she wanted and she was the center of the whole family. She never knew how it felt like to be left alone.
After coming to Country A to find Brother Lucas, she had experienced the ups and downs that she had never experienced before. She had felt lost and confused, but she had never regretted it.
Her mother had always told her that one's life would not always be smooth sailing, and one was bound to face all kinds of setbacks on their journey in life. However, it did not matter, as long as we gritted our teeth and soldiered on, we would be able to find the rainbow after the rain.
932
Janell Joy Carter had always remembered her mother's words.
Her life's journey had just begun, she still had a long way to go. It was impossible for her parents to keep sheltering her from problems in life.
She had to eventually be responsible for her own life.
As the leader of Country A, Brother Lucas was very busy every day. It was impossible for him to keep her company all the time just to make her happy.
After understanding this point, she decided to use other methods to help Brother Lucas, for example going to the disaster area to help the victims, serving as a teacher at the disaster area, and making friends with Yaya and the others.
She was trying hard to integrate into the lifestyle of the country's people, trying to excel, learning how to be an excellent first lady, and preparing to be Brother Lucas's wife in the future.
She had been working hard and never thought of giving up. However, she felt that the distance between Brother Lucas and herself was still large. She could see him, but she couldn't reach him.
It was as if there was a mountain between them. No matter how hard she tried, she could not reach his side. She could not let him hold her hand nor declare to the world that she was the girl he liked and the only one he wanted to marry.
But yet, she was the almighty Janell Joy Carter“. the daughter of Edwin Carter, the leader of Shengtian!
In school, she was the popular person whom everyone wanted to ingratiate themselves with but couldn't. In the past, the others looked up to her, but now she could only look up to her Brother Lucas.
Now, her emotions were no longer under her control, instead they changed with Brother Lucas's attitudes towards her.
Janell Joy lowered her head and kept silent. Andrew Carter grabbed her and made her look at him. "Shengtian has properties all over the world, but none of those are important. Because you, Janell Joy Carter, is Shengtian's biggest and most valuable treasure!"
"The most valuable treasure?" Janell Joy laughed, but her eyes were tearing out of frustration. “I'm greedy. Not only do I want to be the most important treasure of the Carter family, but I also want to be the most important treasure in Nathaniei's heart. I want him to have his eyes and heart on me only."
Shaking her head, Janell Joy continued to say, "I know that my request is too much and too unreasonable, but I can't help but expect that. I want Brother Lucas to belong to me, and only me alone, not to the people of Country A."
Andrew held Janell Joy's shoulders and shook her hard. "Janell, that's not too much, nothing you request is too much."
Janell Joy shook her head and said, “How is it not too much? To want the President of a country to only care about me, how is that not too much?"
Andrew stared at her and said slowly, “Because you are our precious Janell Joy Carter, you only deserve the best. If Nathaniel can't love you with all his heart, then he is not worthy of your love."
Janell Joy smiled bitterly and said, "Just because I am Janell Joy? If I don't have this identity, then what else am I? Am I worthless?"
Janell Joy's words made Andrew frown, and he added, "In my heart, Janell Joy is confident and proud of herself. No matter where she is, she is always the center of attention. But now look at you, because of Nathaniel, what are you turning yourself into?"
Janell Joy murmured, "I don't know what I'm turning into, maybe I became like this when I left the Carter family. Maybe this is the real me."
Andrew grabbed her hand and dragged her away. "Janell, if you have forgotten who you are, I will help you."
Janell Joy wanted to get rid of his hand, but he clasped her hand tightly. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. She was so furious that she shouted, "Andrew, let me go. I don't need your help."
Andrew roared, "Janell, shut up!"
Janell Joy lowered her head, held his hand and bit on it. She wanted to break free of his grasp. However, Andrew did not loosen his grip even though Janell Joy sank her teeth deeply into his skin, so hard that his hand started to bleed.
Janell Joy let go of him, wiped the blood off her lips, and roared, "Andrew, don‘t you know how much I hated you? Do you want me to hate you more by doing this?"
Andrew chuckled. "Since you already hate me, i don't care if you hate me more."
She hated him, which proved that she still remembered him and had him in her heart. For him, this was better than being forgotten by her for the rest of her life.
Janell Joy didn‘t know what to say. How could there be such a person in this world? She would really like to kick him now.
He dragged Janell Joy to the car by the road. Andrew gave the driver a look to ask him to get out of the car. He put Janell Joy into the passenger seat and sat himself in the driver‘s seat.
Janell Joy wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but Andrew quickly locked the door and gave her no chance of escape. She could only stare at him with wide eyes and said, "Andrew, let me out of the car!"
Andrew ignored her and started the car, then accelerated quickly. Janell Joy was so scared that she immediately reached for the handle above her head. She said through gritted teeth, "Andrew, do you believe I‘ll kill you?"
"Humph... I'm waiting for you to kill me," Andrew snorted. With an inexplicable smile on his face, he stepped on the accelerator again and sped up.
Janell Joy held the handle tightly. No matter how fast Andrew went, she didn't say anything anymore. She gritted her teeth tightly, and in her mind, she was thinking about how to deal with Andrew after she got out of the car.
Andrew turned left, turned right, went straight, turned right again, then turned left... After repeating this for about half an hour, Janell Joy almost vomited from the twists and turns. Finally, Andrew made a sudden brake and pulled the car over steadily on a road near to the cliff.
The road was less than one meter away from the cliff. If it weren't for someone who was 100% familiar with the terrain and a 100% skilled driver, no one would dare to take this risk.
Andrew stopped the car and looked at Janell Joy with his head tilted. He smiled and said, "If I had just stepped on the brake for a mere fraction of a second too late, the car would have rushed down the cliff. At this time, we might have fallen off the cliff and have been smashed into pieces."
Janell Joy sat firmly in the passenger's seat, her expression calm and relaxed. She even looked at Andrew coldly and said, "Childish!"
Did he really think he could scare her like this? She was never scared, while she was growing up. This was so childish and ridiculous.
Andrew looked at the proud, confident, and calm girl beside him...
Andrew smiled with satisfaction. “That's it. This is the Janell I know, the little princess of our Carter family.“
Even if the car had stopped at the edge of the cliff, even if her life was hanging on the line, there was not a trace of panic on her face, this could not scare her at all.
This was the Janell Joy that everyone loved and cared for!
