my hero
eps 45's

Because the pain had gnawed at my nerves, my brain felt so blurred. At first, I didn't understand what Jade meant.

Until Jade pulled my necklace violently.

He wanted this amulet that wrapped around my neck.

But this amulet is my birthday present that Chris bought in the shopping mall. How could Jade say that this was Chris' mother's relic?

Is... Chris lied to me?

But why should he lie?

In addition, what exactly did Chris do in the shopping center when it was not to buy this talisman?

When I think about the answers to my questions, my head hurts.

Jade's still pulling my necklace.

My anger was so boiling that I couldn't breathe. But I could only whisper softly: Chris gave this to me, I don't know what really happened either... You can ask Chris directly...

Jade slapped me once more: Basic lady jal*ng, you just want to show off to me don't you?

I was just telling the truth but Jade misunderstood me again. I did not dare to say anything more.

But I can't let this continue either. If Jade kept pulling my necklace like this, I could be suffocated and out of breath.

I can finally say: Then... L'm... Will give you this amulet...

Jade suddenly let go of me and looked at me fixedly.

He lifted one leg and kicked me until I fell on the floor. He then stepped on the injured part of my face with his high heels and said sarcastically: I do not need your mercy! I'll take what I want!

Jade trampled my wound. The intense pain made me unable to speak, only able to smell the smell of blood that quickly filled my nose.

Jade's anger hasn't died out yet. Now, he used his hand to punch me.

My brain was empty and I almost fainted.

Amidst the chaos, I saw my co-workers running over to stop Jade, but everything was blocked by Jade's bodyguard.

Jade finally pushed me a few meters back.

My body rolled several times on the floor before finally stopping because my back hit the office chair.

Jade then looked at me with a dark expression and said: From today on, you should get out of Hualin City. Don't let me see you in this town again!

Even though my brain isn't working properly, I understand what Jade means.

He drove me out of Hualin City.

The city of Hualin is where I was born and grew up. Once I step foot away, I will have no place to return, like a dried leaf falling. My little heart doesn't want that.

But what can I do?

Jade was a very powerful woman in the Imperial City. He has the power to make change. Even the rain and wind can be controlled by it.

I can't reply to Jade.

Seeing that I chose to be quiet, Jade walked up to me impatiently. He bent his body forward and clamped my chin as he said: Did you hear my orders?

I closed my mouth tightly and said nothing.

Jade's expression grew darker when she saw my reaction. He stood up and said to his bodyguard: Tie and throw this woman into the middle of the forest. Don't let him come back here.

I immediately thrashed.

With my condition as injured as it is now, I might not survive if Jade threw me into a secluded place. I won't be able to get help to stop this bleeding...

Unfortunately, my robe was so weak and useless.

Bodyguard Jade dragged me out.

My whole body hurts, my face bleeds, and my head is totally dizzy. I could not move at all and could only resign when I was dragged out.

But my heart knows that I can't let Jade treat me like this or that I will lose my life.

For a ruler like Jade, killing someone was as easy as killing a cat or a dog.

Jade would not care about my life at all.

I bit my tongue hard, fighting to keep my consciousness.

Here is the investigation team, I still have hope of escaping. Once I've boarded Jade's car, I really don't have any way to escape.

Unfortunately, my co-workers were confronted by Jade's bodyguards so they could only look at me being dragged away.

I've been dragged to the gate and my heart is getting desperate.

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded: What is this?

I recognize that voice. That's Steven's voice!

He must have just returned after leaving with Erick.

I wondered, at heart, would he help me?

Steven is also a member of the Imperial family, their family must have known each other for a long time. While me? I'm not too close to Steven and he can't possibly get into a conflict with Jade to defend me.

Jade said: Young Master Steven, it turns out that you are in Hualin City.

Without further ado, Steven looked back at Jade coldly and said: Why did Miss Jade come to my investigation team?

Jade's gaze was no less cold: This cheap lady has insulted me. I'm gonna catch him and teach him a lesson.

Then Steven said: And if I don't agree to it?

Jade looked at Steven straightly coldly and said slowly: Don't you dare.

Steven chuckled: This is where the investigation takes place and this is not a place where the lady can go in and out at will.

Jade folded both hands in front of her chest and looked at Steven fearlessly: Even though you are a young master, but you have no right to interfere in my matters.

Steven replied calmly: That woman is my assistant and you are in my area. Please think well. Now, let go of the woman.

Jade's anger rose because she felt that Steven had made fun of: Oh, my God, it turns out that you care enough about her... Maybe you have a special relationship with him. Otherwise, how could you possibly defend him like this?

Steven narrowed his eyes, not denying Jade's words at all. He simply said: Please leave this place. Or tomorrow rumors will spread throughout the Imperial City about how you damaged the reputation of a professional institution.

Jade gasped but laughing sarcastically said: Do you want to catch me?

Steven replied: Well, then you can stay and go to the police station for a few days.

The two people stared at each other with pride.

I was really surprised.

I didn't expect Steven to help me and even face Jade like this.

I really thank Steven in my heart.

But I can't say a word or I'll provoke Jade's anger again.

Although Jade was really angry at Steven for the man's attitude towards her, she knew Steven's status made her unable to act recklessly. He could only vent all his anger on me.

Jade immediately approached me and kicked me firmly in the stomach. He said coldly: See how this young master appreciates you so much. Once there is a problem, he immediately comes to your rescue.

The pain from Jade's kick struck my stomach and I couldn't help but scream.

Jade still did not want to let go of me and slap the injured part of my face again: I must admit you are indeed great, you cheap lady. Not only did you tease Chris but you also managed to make Steven so infatuated with you. Turns out your skills are great too.

I'm at a loss for words.

Steven and I have no relationship. In fact, I still can't believe that Steven's family is responsible for what happened to my mother.

And about Chris, I was just pretending to be his girlfriend. After all, at that time Chris and Jade had also broken off the engagement between them.

Jade hates me so much and in the slightest she won't give me a chance to explain.

Because he already thought that I was deliberately teasing Chris. He won't listen to my explanation.

Jade still seemed to be unsatisfied as she kicked me again several times.

I clenched my mouth tightly, with all my might holding myself back from shouting.

Steven suddenly approached. It seems like because I look so pitiful.

He suddenly wrapped his hands around Jade's neck and said coldly: Don't think I'm afraid of your family. Are you still not willing to let go?

Doubt is implied in both of Jade's eyes as Steven looks like he won't budge on her.

Steven pushed her away and walked up to me and helped me stand up.

Bodyguard Jade naturally did not let it.

But Steven was so skilled, he easily dropped the bodyguards on the floor.

Seeing the other bodyguards immediately running after, Steven pulled me over and looked at Jade: Now think carefully if you want to deal with me.

Jade's eyes flashed like snakes and she looked at me and narrowed her eyes: Mr. Steven, of course you know how my character is. The more you protect someone, the more I want to finish him off... You think about it well.

Steven looked back at him then said: You also know how my character is. I was never afraid of threats.

The two people looked at each other in silence.

Jade's patience seemed to have run out. He immediately ordered his bodyguard: Arrest the woman!

Seeing the large number of bodyguards, I was worried that Steven would not be able to face them alone.

I just wanted to get away from her when I heard footsteps coming from the door.

I also turned my eyes towards the source of the sound.

Chris came with his bodyguards.

He glanced at Jade at a glance and walked up to me and Steven.

Right now, I'm in Steven's arms.

He stretched out Steven's hand which grabbed me and said: I'm coming.
