Chapter 429 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

Leilani was slightly surprised. She knew Rebecca wouldn’t let her do lap dance to Waylen. But she was surprised that Rebecca chose the man sitting across her.

The man looked back simultaneously and smiled meaningfully. Leilani felt her goosebumps were shivering.

What Rebecca got in store for her was certainly a difficult guy.

At the same time, all the attention landed on Leilani. They were waiting for the good show. Rebecca asked a pregnant woman to do lap dance at…

The images in their minds were not comfortable at all. It certainly wasn’t how lap dance was supposed to be. The audience might get horrified.

Leilani got up without any hesitation. Andrew called her.

“Leilani, are you serious?”

Leilani threw her gold hair back and warmed up with a hot dance. She swayed her waist softly and blossomed like a flower.

The pub was in excitement. The men all stood up.

“Damn it, the pregnant woman’s dance makes me get hard.”

Some even whistled at Leilani. She had her beautiful hair behind her ear, revealing half her gorgeous face. It was a face that would turn the world upside down. All the men were crazy about her.

Leilani slowly walked to the man across her. The whistling stopped, and they all held their breath.

The man across Leilani was James!

James was not moved at all. He drank the last bit left in his glass and threw it at Leilani.

Leilani moved to dodge it. The glass was right by her ears and fell on the wall. The broken pieces fell along the wall.

Others all shouted out as the glass fell down. James was cold-blooded to throw a glass at a pregnant woman.

Waylen was already in a bad mood. Now he got even worse and gave off the icy vibe. He was about to come to James when someone barged in.

He came to James as fast as he could and said.

“Your highness, we captured a man who broke into your residence.”

James frowned.

“Do you keep him alive?”

“Yeah. We’ve imprisoned and tortured him. But he wouldn’t confess who sent him and what for.”

James stood up. The bodyguard knew it was serious. James must want to interrogate him. So he moved aside to give James his way.

After James left, the Truth and Dare that was meant to keep him were finished. Leilani still stood in the middle of the pub and looked back at Andrew. He still sat on the couch. Jamie stood next to him and was hearing what Andrew told him.

Soon Jamie left.

Leilani started to have bad feelings. Was Andrew’s man captured?

Rebecca shared the same concern. Her look turned immediately after what the bodyguard said. She no longer had the mood to watch Leilani’s lap dance. So she turned at Waylen.

“Waylen, I’m tired. Let’s go back.”

James left. Now Rebecca wanted to leave too. Others knew there was no point staying and left too.

Leilani followed Andrew back to his room. They were both in low spirits because of what happened.

The second Jamie hung up, Leilani asked.

“How’s it going? Any news?”

Jamies shook his head. No news suggested that it was probably Andrew’s man that was captured.

They even kept him alive to torture the brain out of him. Once he told them everything, the plan would be ruined. They would be in a passive position.

Plus, James had been looking for an excuse to take Andrew.

“Are you frightened?” Andrew sat down on the couch. He had his hands on his knees. His look was terrible. But he started comforting Leilani.

“My guys wouldn’t rat me out.”

Leilani held her hands on her chest, leaned against the couch, and didn’t answer. She couldn’t be reassured. After all, they were at the presidential house.

“If my guy betrays me, you don’t have to mind me.”

Andrew was not afraid of the worst. He was only concerned that Leilani would do something stupid to put herself in harm.

“Even they didn’t rat me out, and we have to leave here as soon as possible.”

Under the circ.u.mstances, Leilani couldn’t ask for more. She couldn’t afford to lose Andrew over the drugs.

Andrew nodded.

“I’ve done some study. There is a forbidden zone in the backyard of the presidential house. As long as we get there, help will wait. But we can’t leave today. James must send more security.”

“How about Jessica?”

Andrew didn’t even mention Jessica once. So he didn’t consider Jessica at all. Did he plan to leave her?

Now Andrew was silent. The whole room got silent soon. It was awfully quiet that Leilani could hear Andrew’s breath.

Andrew’s silence was his answer.

It was a tough choice.

“I mean it. If nothing happens today, I know how to save Jessica.”

***

At James’s residence.

All the help was rounded in the hall. The housekeeper was interrogating. Anyone who failed to provide an alibi was taken to the dungeon for further questioning.

They would rather kill a thousand in vain than letting the guilty one run.

The housekeep whipped more at the maid’s body, seeing James. The howling was horrible.

“Your highness, please. It’s not me. I’m innocent. I don’t know anything.”

“I went to the bamboo grove. The bodyguard at the princess’s residence wanted to see me. I didn’t do anything!”

James walked right in his bedroom with an icy look. Jessica had to follow him. The pressure around him was so low. Jessica felt she would enter the bottomless pit at any time. She held her breath to make herself invisible. Or she would become the victim of his wrath.

James stopped in front of his room. It was modern and metal style at first look. Every piece of furniture was in its own place. Nothing seemed to be moved. But if one took a closer look—

Still, nothing was touched.

From the moment James came in, he set his eyes on the oil painting above his bed. Nothing seemed to be touched apart from the painting. It was about 10 degrees away from where it usually was hanged.

If the intruder only touched the oil painting, it meant that he had a clear intention.

Jessica looked close at the painting and did not see anything strange. Since she entered the presidential palace, she has almost stayed in this room every day, and never paid attention to the oil painting.

James has stridden to the left side of the bed, with his fingers touching the lower-left corner of the oil painting. Jessica opened her eyes wide. Unexpectedly, oil painting automatically moved away.

The wall was concave with a small cube, which seemed to have put something inside.

James punched the oil painting, and the glass of the painting frame turned into pieces. The oil painting shook a few times and finally hit the ground.

“Interrogate suspicious servants and bodyguards harshly and ask them where the thing has gone!”

The thunderous sound made Jessica panic.

Finding that James was looking at her, Jessica was scared and stepped back. Was he going to torture her again?

James looked so ferocious that Jessica was afraid. Although she did not know what he was going to do to her, she shook her head subconsciously. All that came to her mind was that he had abused her body. The private part where she had been hit healed and hurt again. There had never been a time when she had never hurt.

Suddenly, with a thump, Jessica stepped on something, and she sat heavily on the ground. The tears in the corner of her eye almost fell, but she ignored, and just wanted to run away from him.

James glanced at Jessica and took a few steps forward with long legs to pick her up from the ground.

“James, no!”

“Don’t you want to go to the princess’s wedding to help?”

Jessica punched the fist in the man’s chest. Did he want her now?

Seeing that she no longer moved, James directly pulled her out.

Where was he going? Jessica was terrified again, but she did not dare to ask, so she could only stagger and be dragged away by him.

Jessica was pulled downstairs by James, who then opened the elevator door. In the elevator, Jessica felt the surrounding air was getting colder and colder, and she knew it was leading to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

As the elevator door was opened, a strange and disgusting smell fluttered. Jessica even smelled blood, sweat, and underground moisture, vaguely hearing painful groans and desperate pleas.

A bodyguard led the way ahead. It’s large here. The usual bas.e.m.e.nt was for sundries, but it’s more like a prison here.

In one separate room, a man was chained to the cross, and the other room was locked up with six or seven people, men, and women.

“My Prince, we are still interrogating these people.” A man said respectfully.

“Those people don’t have to be interrogated.” James pointed to the servants and bodyguards crawling on the ground.

When they heard James’ words, they immediately bowed their heads on the ground and said, “Thank you, My Prince.”

It seemed to them to be acquitted. All of a sudden, they were grateful, and their forehead thumped on the ground, even if they broke their head.

Next second, however, James took Jessica’s hand and put a gun in her hand.

“Didn’t you ask me something?” James smiled wantonly and said, “Kill them, or let them kill you.”

With that, before Jessica could react, she was locked up in the room.

Several people in the room were unable to provide alibis after James lost his thing, so they were arrested and tortured. At present, the gun in Jessica’s hand was their hope. As long as they got the weapon, they would be able to get out of here alive!

There have been two or three bodyguards rushed to Jessica, who was panicked and repeatedly walked back. Did James want her to die?

Danger, despair, and death were approaching. Jessica’s dark eyes were full of panic.
