Chapter 756: Chapter 758

“What are you so afraid of? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear!” Ernie said in a low tone.

“I’d still like to keep a distance...” Sylvie said as she lowered her head.

“Haha! I can keep myself under control!” Ernie retracted his gaze, but his eyes were like an abyss. He zipped up his pants before her, “Don’t worry, you’re my lifeline, so I will protect you well until you become my woman!”

Sylvie shouted, “Ernie Hughes! Will you cut it out? I don’t care if you feel wronged or what, but don’t overestimate yourself, ok? I am and will always be Marley Hughes’ wife. You’re his cousin, so stop fooling around, alright? I’m really glad you saved me today!”

“But I haven’t felt any sense of gratitude or appreciation!” Ernie said lightly, “Besides, why do you think I’m just playing around? Sylvie, you made your mistake when you helped the Hughes family! You shouldn’t have let me meet you! I can’t stop wanting you ever since I met you! So, what can I do?”

“Whatever! Let me treat your wound first, you’re losing too much blood!” Her hands were already filled with his blood.

“Sylvie, one day, you will be my woman! There’s no woman I can’t have!”

Sylvie sneered and said, “I know you’re quite capable and not what you appear to be on the surface, and that you’re actually quite outstanding. But Ernie, not everything will go your way, that’s just the way the world is. Cut it out! I’m not the one you want. Even if you have my body, you won’t have my affection!”

Sylvie said this with such determination that Ernie suddenly felt a hint of fear inside him. He didn’t know why he felt this way, but he just drooped his eyes.

Sylvie silently helped to bandage the wound on his head. It was a serious wound and would probably leave a scar. They had to hurry to a hospital to take care of it.

Suddenly, Ernie’s phone rang again.

He looked at the caller; it was Marley, and it was probably urgent.

Ernie stared at his phone but didn’t answer it. There was no telling whether his expression was that of anger or something else. He pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, “What a lovely couple...”

After a slight pause, he handed his phone to Sylvie, “Here, you talk to him...”

Sylvie’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked anxiously at Ernie.

He already handed her his phone.

Sylvie looked at the caller; it was Marley indeed. Her bag and phone were still on the sofa from the banquet, so she didn’t have them on her. She picked up the call, and Marley’s voice immediately boomed form the other end, “Ernie, where did you take Sylvie?”

“Marley, it’s me!” Sylvie quickly explained.

“Sylvie? Where are you?”

“I, I’m not sure?”

“Where’s Ernie? What happened to you? How come you’re with him?”

“I’m fine!” Sylvie quickly said.

At this time, someone was knocking at the door. Sylvie hastily said, “I’m not sure where I am, I’ll be back soon, don’t worry!”

“Sylvie! Damn it, what did he do to you?”

At this time, Ernie took the phone back and said sarcastically, “You can’t even protect your own woman; what kind of man are you? You don’t deserve Sylvie! If you want her, come find her!”

“Fuck!” Marley roared as he listened to the dial tone from the other end of his phone, then he shouted, “Ernie, if you dare touch Sylvie, I’m going to kill you!”

But there was no one to hear. Marley felt like thrashing his phone at the moment.

Ernie, on the other hand, was in a good mood after hanging up on Marley. He walked to the door and took some clothes, as well as a lady’s long black dress.

He handed the dress to Sylvie, “Get changed!”

Sylvie took the clothes and headed to the restroom.

Then, she changed her clothes.

When she came out, Ernie was smoking a cigarette and sat on the sofa. The glass door was open, and Ernie looked at her and marveled at her slender black figure.

The one-piece black dress made her body shape look even more slender. The hem of the dress was just above her knee, revealing her white skin and sexy pair of legs that were sure to catch a lot of men’s attention.

“Shall we get going, Ernie?” She said as she lowered her head.

“Let’s go!” Ernie got up.

Sylvie was about to turn around, when she accidentally slipped and almost fell down. In a split second, she saw a powerful figure swoop by, and a warm hand grabbed her by the waist.

The tip of her nose was right in front of his chest, and his clothes’ material lightly grazed her skin, and the slight scent of aftershave seemed to fill the air around her. Sylvie felt incredibly awkward, then before she could think, her hands reached out and pushed herself out of Ernie’s embrace.

Sylvie kept her head down and didn’t dare to look up at Ernie in the eyes.

Seeing her act like this, Ernie couldn’t help but feel even more despair!

“Let’s get going!” She calmed herself down, then kept her head down and headed out.

When they were out, she realized the place was a three-storied building. The halls were littered with items, like a warehouse.

At this time, someone walked up to Ernie and said, “Bro, there’s a ton of people out there!”

Ernie frowned and asked, “How many?”

“Dozens!”

“How many we got?”

“Six!”

“Backup?” Ernie asked.

“On the way, bro, but they won’t get here in time!”

“Are you afraid, Sylvie?” Ernie turned around and looked at Sylvie.

Sylvie’s heart nearly froze after hearing there were dozens of pursuers. Just who did she piss off that they’d want her life like this?

Was Ernie really asking her if she was scared? She looked at him and shook her head, “As long as you’re here, I’m not!”

Truth of the matter was, she did feel much relieved with him here!

Ernie was actually a bit surprised to hear this. A glint flashed in his eyes, but a part of his forehead was bandaged, and he looked quite humorous.

“If I said I had no plan, would you be scared then?” Ernie lowered his tone and looked directly at Sylvie’s eyes. He said in a very serious tone, “Sylvie, you stay close behind me!”

Sylvie’s heart skipped a beat, and there was a look of uncertainty in her eyes.

He continued to stare at her and asked, “Scared?”

His eyes seemed to fill her with strength, as if it was able to chase away all her doubts and uncertainty. She suddenly shouted out, “I’m not scared!”

Ernie let out a sly smile that was also quite charming in a way, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!”

Sylvie became slightly confounded. From her past impressions, this man was always a bit of devious, and you could never tell his lies. “Ernie, are you trying to play with me? You’re not even scared at all!”

Ernie cracked a smile, then got closer to her and said, “What do you think?”

“I, I believe in you!” That was all Sylvie could think of saying.

Ernie stood up straight and looked downstairs. The main doors were locked, but there was the sound of kicking and banging on the other side.

Sylvie secretly felt really unsure about the whole situation. She didn’t know what was happening, but Ernie was as still as a mountain. She watched as he stood on the third floor and shouted to someone, “Dante, open the doors and let them in!”

“Bro, but they’ve got dozens of people, and they each have knives.” Someone downstairs said.

Ernie looked down and said in a booming, deep voice, “Afraid? If so, then kneel before them after we’ve opened the doors!”

“Bro!” The person exclaimed.

“Open the doors!” Ernie shouted, “What, you guys won’t listen to me now? You bunch of sissies that piss squatting down, even if we die here, I’m going to be joining you guys, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“Bro, we’re not afraid for ourselves, we’re afraid if something were to happen to you!”

The man standing beside Ernie said, “I think they’re Louis’s men! That guy we took was one of Louis’s henchmen!”

“Louis?” Ernie said as he raised his eyebrow, “That son of a bitch!”

“Yeah!”

“Open the doors!” Ernie boomed again, “Let them all in!”

Out of options, Dante and some men opened the doors! Suddenly, dozens of men poured forth into the hall, covering the entire place. Sylvie was about to say something, but looking at Ernie, she didn’t say a thing.

Ernie looked down at the ruckus downstairs, “Hah! That’s quite a lot of you. Looks like ol’ Louis has got quite a few men! Call your boss to come see me!”

Ernie spoke in a high and mighty tone and stood from a higher ground, making his presence appear to be really powerful. The men downstairs were at a slight loss for words.

Dante said before the gang of pursuers, “Tell your boss to come see our boss!”

“Who the hell is your boss?” Someone snapped back, “You kidnap one of ours and demand to see our boss? Guys, I think they like to pick on lesser numbers. Now that we have outnumbered them, they’re probably pissing their pants by now, right?”

Ernie’s face turned grim, “Cut the crap, call that god damn Louis to come see me! If he’s not here in five minutes, I’m going to decimate his place!”

“Who the hell are you trying to provoke?” Someone downstairs tested him.

Ernie said in a chilling tone, “You’re not worthy enough to talk to me! Go get Louis!”

Sylvie even felt a shudder when she heard Ernie say this. This man—

Wow!

Ernie was way too overpowering. His presence was like that of a king, enough to suppress and instill fear into the people around him!

The gang downstairs looked at each other in uncertainty, but no one said a thing!

Sylvie moved a bit, but Ernie reached out and patted her hand to console her.

If you want women, go to a club! Fuck, trying to take nice little housewives. Are you guys tired of living? I’m guessing Louis doesn’t know about your little shady dealings!”

After he was done talking, Ernie pulled out his phone and called a number. As soon as the call went through, Ernie shouted, “Louis, you got five minutes to get your sorry ass over to your warehouse in the western suburbs... Or else!”

He hung up after he was done talking.

The crowd downstairs began to stir; suddenly, someone’s phone rang, and as soon as he picked it up, he began to talk in an apologetic manner.

Afterward, that person’s face immediately turned green, and his body began to shiver. He then looked up at Ernie and said in a sincere tone, “Brother, we didn’t know it was you! Please, don’t be upset, we’re at fault here!”
