Chapter 946 Minor But Enough
Throughout the meal, it was silent yet frightening.
Joseph didn't speak a word and his expression was ice-cold as well. Occasionally, he would cast a glance at her with a cold look in his eyes.
She knew that he was angry. After all, if he wasn't on his guard just now, she would have really killed him.
After eating, he stood up and said, "Throw her out to feed the dogs."
The two men walked towards Waverly without any emotion on their faces.
Bellamy used to always say that the losers would always be in the wrong. There was no right or wrong in some things, but there was only success or failure.
A failure would always be a failure.
Although she knew she had little strength, she stood up calmly and exclaimed, "There's no need to throw me out. I'll go myself."
Joseph's subordinates turned to look at him.
"Let her go then." Joseph tightened his jaw and said in a cold voice.
Waverly walked out of the cabin and heard a bark. She looked to seek the source of the sound.
A poodle which was as big as the size of her palm was shaking its tail at her. It was as if it was greeting her.
She was a little confused and continued to walk forward.
The two expressionless men in black also came down. They were still expressionless and said, "Mr. Joseph has ordered us to send you back to the Mccarthy family. This poodle is a gift for you, Madam. It hasn't been fed yet. The dog food is in the car. Mr. Joseph has ordered you to feed it."
Waverly was at a loss for words.
She looked at the plane and wondered whether Joseph was just trying to scare her, or if this was a warning for her.
She picked up the poodle. The dog was really small. When she held it in her hands, it was still trembling. Perhaps, it could be that it was out in the cold for too long.
"Madam, this way please," the man said as he pulled open the car door.
Waverly got in the car and looked down at the poodle. She wondered if Bellamy's body had gotten better now. The storm had passed, however the next storm might already be brewing. The person who provoked him was definitely a person who would not stop until they achieved their goal.
The car kept driving and she was sent to a lakeside hut.
When Hayley heard the sound of the car engine, she ran out worriedly. "Madam, you are finally back. Where have you been? I was worried sick!"
"I had some things to deal with. Next time, don't wait for me here foolishly. If I disappear for five days or more in the future, you should go back and look for Bobe," Waverly said softly.
Hayley's eyes reddened, "Does that mean that you'll disappear for more than five days in the future?"
Waverly smiled and rubbed Hayley's head, "Silly child, our fate is up to the heavens. Don't be sad. Have you eaten yet?"
"It's still early for dinner and I haven't cooked yet. Madam, you have no idea that after you left, your aunt still came every day to make trouble. She's so annoying! Doesn't she have to go to work?" She said angrily.
"You are right, she doesn't have to go to work. Perhaps, she is just bored. That's why she came to find something to do. Hayley, I'm going to my mother's place later. Can you buy some fruits for me? I'll transfer some money to you. You shall just keep the change as I'm sure it will come into use at some point," Waverly said softly.
"Alright. What do you want me to buy? I'll head out to get it immediately." Hayley listened obediently to her, but she was also worried, "Madam, when you are alone at home, don't open the door for anyone. I'm afraid they will bully you."
Waverly nodded, "Just buy any fruits. It's just a normal visit. Besides, we'll be heading out to buy a car in the afternoon."
"Alright."
Waverly paid Hayley 10000 dollars and went back to her room.
The reason why she didn't live here for a long time was because the room was cold and lonely. However, Hayley cleaned it up quite well. She was afraid that Waverly would feel cold, hence she got an electric blanket while she was gone.
She turned on the electric blanket and sat on the bed. Then, her cell phone rang.
It was Bellamy. Her eyes blinked, and all her thoughts seemed to be frozen in an instant. It was as if it had forgotten how to function.
When the calling tone was about to stop, she picked it up.
He was making a video call.
She saw him sitting on the bed. He wore a white round-collared silk shirt. He still had the same warm smile on his face. Just by looking at him, it was enough to satisfy her.
The rims of her eyes gradually turned red.
"Bell." She choked a little as she said his name.
She didn't want to cry in front of him and make him feel worried. She lifted the corners of her lips and made it look like she was smiling. She cleared her throat and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"My injuries were not that serious since they have missed vital parts. It was much better after the bullets were taken out. I can eat and sleep now. I can leave the hospital tomorrow. What about you? Is everything okay?" He asked with concern.
Usually, after he returned, she would have also returned. However, Hayley said that she just came back.
Waverly clenched her fists.
She was not fine at all. Not only did she fail to do anything, she had also become Joseph's...
She did not even want to think about those matters. She felt humiliated, apologetic, ashamed, wronged, and even more upset.
However, telling Bellamy these things would only bring him emotions of worry and hatred. It was useless.
"I'm fine. Look." Waverly pointed the camera at the poodle in her arms. She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and calmed down, "It is such a small dog and it is very obedient. It won't bark when I hold it in my arms. Besides, it can't run fast, hence I'm not worried about not being able to catch it."
"You... Are you really okay?" Bellamy noticed the strangeness in her tone.
She turned the camera to herself and said with a smile, "You are really silly. If I was not alright, would I still be able to have such a peaceful video call with you? I'll visit my mother later, and I'll buy a car in the afternoon. That way, it's more convenient for me to go around."
"I'll transfer another 20 million to you. Don't save it. If you need help, let me know."
"There is no need for that. I have a lot of money left from the money you gave me. You can keep it for yourself. By the way, I suspect that Beckham participated in the conspiracy in Z Country. Do you have any evidence?" She changed the topic.
"Paxon is dead, and it's hard to find evidence about the disappearance of Braque."
"Oh Bell, it's just a negotiation. Why did you go there in person? Isn't there anyone else in the Department of External Affairs?" Waverly said with a lingering fear, and her eyes turned red again.
"Sean was in charge of the Department of External Affairs before, and many of them had worked for him. Besides, it's understandable for me to go there in person with him," Bellamy explained.
"Then, you should train a few men to protect you."
"The Department of External Affairs is now in Beckham's hands, and the people who were trained by him are also severely suppressed. Now that it's a critical period, they won't blend in easily with anyone."
"There must be a way. Even if you can't get into the top management of the organization, you can still order some subordinates to do something," she said worriedly.
She did not wish for something like this to happen to Bellamy again.
He smiled and said, "Alright, I got it. I'll make the preparations. The Mccarthy family didn't make things difficult for you, did they? They should have known about you coming to Z Country, right?"
"It's still my freedom to go anywhere I want. Why would they make things difficult for me? So what if they don't feed me? I don't need anything from them."
"That's right. No matter how poor I am, I'll still be able to feed you for a lifetime," he said jokingly.
For a moment, she was surrounded with love and happiness. After all, this was coming from the person she loved.
Even though it was just something very minor, it was enough to make her feel touched.
However, the emptiness and sorrow after such slight bliss was even more despairing.
Back then, Bellamy didn't even have his eyes on Waverly who was once pure. Moreover, now that she was violated....
