Chapter 535 Saving Jennifer!
Jennifer felt humiliated by Randy's advances but didn't dare tell her family. With tears in her eyes and a flushed face, she hurriedly left the banquet hall alone.
As she navigated through the crowd, a waiter accidentally bumped into her.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, like a bee sting, but it quickly faded.
"I'm so sorry, miss," the waiter apologized immediately.
"It's... It's okay."
Jennifer didn't think much of it and quickly walked away.
The waiter watched her leave, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.
The evening breeze gently blew through Jennifer's hair as she stood alone on the balcony, gazing at the cold moonlight and quietly wiping away her tears.
If William were here, he would never let her suffer or be bullied.
But she had already decided to let him go, to cut him out of her life forever.
Should she call him one last time to say everything that needed to be said, to have closure?
After much deliberation, Jennifer finally turned on her phone, her heart aching intensely.
As soon as the signal connected, countless missed calls and messages flooded her screen.
William had never stopped trying to reach her, every word filled with deep emotion.
Jennifer clutched her chest, feeling as if her heart was shattered. Her lips bled from biting them, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling.
"William... I don't want to be apart from you..."
Suddenly, her vision blurred from the tears, and she felt dizzy, almost collapsing.
"Miss Taylor, are you okay?"
A worried voice reached her ears, but her mind was foggy, and her ears buzzed.
The next second, she was forcefully pulled into someone's arms.
She could feel a large, rough hand indecently caressing her soft shoulder.
"Who are you? Don't touch me!"
Jennifer trembled, trying to struggle but too weak, her eyes filled with tears.
"Relax, don't be nervous." The man sneered, his lips brushing against her cheek, "I'll take good care of you."
Landon, the president of KnightSpear Group, was mingling with the guests when one of Jennifer's bodyguards ran over, sweating profusely, and pulled him aside.
"Mr. Taylor, Miss Taylor is missing!"
Landon's expression darkened, "How is that possible? The security here is top-notch, and you were with her the whole time. How could Jennifer disappear?"
"She was within our sight, talking to Randy from the Alexander family."
Randy? Landon felt a sense of foreboding, his brow furrowing.
The bodyguard stammered, wiping his sweat, "But a group of people walked past the dance floor, and Miss Taylor suddenly disappeared! Randy is also gone!"
"Useless!" Landon glared, furious.
The bodyguard was terrified, his legs almost giving out, "Mr. Taylor! We'll find her right away! If we don't..."
Landon's veins bulged, his voice hoarse, "Search secretly, don't tell Charlie yet, to avoid worrying him. If you don't find Jennifer before the banquet ends, you'd better think about how to die!"
The Taylor family's bodyguards spread out, conducting a thorough search of the castle!
Landon couldn't focus on socializing anymore and joined the search himself.
Jennifer wasn't his biological sister, but he loved his family dearly and couldn't stand by idly!
He didn't dare tell Evelyn either; her temper could turn the entire Wilson family's banquet upside down!
'Jennifer, please be safe!'
Landon's footsteps echoed through the corridor as he ran, cold sweat dripping, calling Jennifer's phone.
Her phone rang, but no one answered!
Suddenly, Landon stopped, hearing a faint ringtone.
His heart raced as he followed the sound to the balcony.
Jennifer's phone lay on the ground, the screen displaying "Landon."
"Jennifer! Where are you? Jennifer!"
Landon shouted from the balcony but received no response.
"Landon! How could Jennifer go missing?"
Evelyn and Edward rushed over, followed by an injured William, "The security here is tight, and all guests are recorded. How could Jennifer just disappear? I don't believe it! Jennifer must be somewhere in the castle; she couldn't have left!"
William's eyes were bloodshot, on the verge of collapse!
"It's my fault, I was too careless!" Landon punched the railing in frustration.
"Jennifer will be fine. In a place like this, with Mr. Taylor present, anyone daring to touch his daughter must have a death wish."
Edward gripped Evelyn's trembling shoulder, his lips sharp, "Since we found her phone here, let's start by checking the nearby surveillance."
Landon's eyes reddened, "I'll send someone to check right away!"
"Too slow! Every minute we waste, Jennifer's danger increases!"
Evelyn gritted her teeth, sweat beading on her forehead, "Landon, get me a high-performance computer. I'll hack into the system!"
"Not just the surveillance, I can take down the entire castle's security system!"
Landon and William, too anxious earlier, suddenly remembered.
Evelyn was a top-notch hacker!
Edward stared at Evelyn, his eyes filled with admiration.
Landon quickly had someone bring the best laptop available.
Evelyn's eyes were sharp, focused on the screen, her fingers dancing across the keyboard, a sight to behold.
The three men stood behind her, watching intently.
Countless green codes flashed by, but she easily deciphered them, breaking through one by one, impressing everyone.
Edward had excelled in all his courses at military school, including hacking, but compared to Evelyn, he was nothing.
Ten minutes later, the surveillance footage appeared on the screen.
They were all stunned.
Several cameras showed Jennifer hugging and flirting with a man, who was none other than Randy!
"That bastard!" Edward's eyes reddened.
But the strangest part was Jennifer's behavior towards Randy.
She was actively hugging his waist, leaning into him, her eyes seductive, smiling sweetly!
Their relationship seemed unusually intimate.
Evelyn's breath hitched, feeling a chill down her spine!
"Jennifer really... with Randy..."
William's heart sank, shaking his head in disbelief, "No way... Jennifer would never accept that scumbag."
"We know what kind of person Jennifer is. There's definitely something wrong here!"
Evelyn saw Jennifer and Randy heading to the guest rooms on the top floor, turning a corner, and disappearing.
"Randy's going to hurt Jennifer! We must stop him!" Landon, usually calm, was now panicked.
William felt his world collapse, his mind racing with emotions in seconds!
If Randy dared touch the woman he loved, he would kill him. If he couldn't, he would make him suffer, unable to live as a man!
William even considered the worst outcome. If Jennifer lost her purity, he wouldn't care; he would still marry her.
No matter what happened, she would always be beautiful and pure in his heart.
Evelyn cursed, "My reputation ruined by this scumbag! If I had known his dirty thoughts about Jennifer... I should have let him die on the operating table!"
"I'll have Randy's men secretly detained." Edward acted decisively, "Randy, a cripple, couldn't have planned this alone. His men must know."
With a swift motion, a cold light flashed!
No one saw how Landon revealed the cross-shaped dagger.
His gaze was more chilling than the weapon, "My blade hasn't tasted blood in a long time. Since Randy, that pig, is offering himself, I won't hold back."
Jennifer, completely unaware, was carried into the guest room by Randy.
He threw her onto the bed, her mind foggy, her body hot and restless, her lips parted, struggling to breathe.
She looked so tempting!
Randy licked his lips greedily, quickly stripping himself naked.
"What's going on?"
He soon realized a serious problem!
He couldn't get hard!
Randy panted heavily, trying everything, but his organ remained limp!
He used to be known for his stamina, but now, before starting, it was over? He couldn't accept this!
Once the drug wore off, she would wake up. Then, he would be guilty of assault!
Randy immediately hated Evelyn, convinced she sabotaged him during surgery, making him impotent! A quack!
But tonight, he had to take Jennifer; it was his only chance!
Randy pretended, viciously tearing Jennifer's clothes.
She lay naked, her slender waist and soft chest exposed. Yet, he still did not react!
"Shit... I want to kill you!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind, scaring Randy almost to the point of wetting himself. He quickly hid under the covers.
"Who's there?"
The next second, three striking figures burst through the door.
Before Randy could react, Edward strode to the bed, his eyes cold, grabbing Randy's hair and yanking him out of the covers.
"Ah! It hurts... let go, you bastard!"
Randy screamed, sprawled on the floor, naked, revealing his prosthetic leg.
Edward's jaw tightened, he stepped on Randy's back, his lashes lowered with anger, "Evelyn, don't look, it'll dirty your eyes."
"It's just a butt, I've seen worse!"
Evelyn spat at Randy, then ran to the bed, trembling as she lifted the covers.
Her heart shattered, she screamed in rage, "Randy! I'll destroy you!"
"Jennifer!"
William stumbled over, his eyes filled with tears of pain, his hands shaking as he wrapped the blanket around his precious girl.
He couldn't bear to look at her or touch her.
William held Jennifer tightly, soothing her like a baby.
"Don't be afraid... I'm here... no one will hurt you again."
Jennifer slowly woke up, weakly opening her eyes.
