Only then did the man understand who Jordan and Salvatore were here for.
The man was secretly glad that he didnât agree with that goddessâ proposition just now. Otherwise, he would have been chopped into pieces by her husband!
Everyone liked to eat forbidden fruits. Everyone liked goddesses. But not everyone had the ability to consume them. If one didnât have the capability, they would be in trouble.
Men were still quite wise in this area.
The man knew that he hadnât done anything wrong, so he said slowly, âYouâre talking about Ms. Clarke, right? Thatâs right. Ms. Clarke and I had a drink at the bar. However, the bar was about to close soon, so we parted ways. We didnât even exchange numbers!â
Bang!
Salvatore punched him again. âF*ck you! Ms. Clarke is so beautiful. You treated her to a drink at the bar without any ulterior motive? Who would believe your nonsense?â
The man said innocently, âIâm really not lying. I have no feelings for Ms. Clarke. Youâve misunderstood!â
Bang!
Salvatore was impatient. He knew that Jordan was anxious, so he stopped using his fist and shot the man in the leg.
âAh!â
The man cried out in pain.
Salvatore continued to ask, âAre you going to tell me or not!â
The man held his leg and insisted. âIâm really not lying. Ms. Clarke and I parted ways at the bar!â
Jordan looked at the manâs expression and felt that he was probably telling the truth.
âDamn it⦠itâs been an hour and we still canât find Victoria. Victoria, where are you? Please be fine!â
The scene from that terrifying dream appeared in Jordanâs mind.
He could not accept Victoria dying and leaving him!
Just as Jordan was feeling anxious, Lauren called.
âHello, Hubby, Iâve found Victoria!â Lauren said.
The worry on Jordanâs face instantly disappeared. âReally? Where is she?â
Lauren replied, âIâve already brought Victoria home. Come back quickly.â
Jordan said, âOkay, Iâll be right there!â
Jordan left the manâs house and went straight to the West Villa District.
âVictoria!â
Jordan rushed into the house.
He saw Victoria lying on the sofa. She seemed to be unconscious and was wearing a feminine-looking jacket. It was likely Laurenâs. Lauren probably saw that Victoria was in very revealing clothes, so she covered her.
When Lauren saw Jordan, she hurriedly said, âHubby, Victoria has been unconscious the entire time. We canât wake her up no matter how hard we try. Should we take her to the hospital?â
Jordan waved his hand and said, âThereâs no need. Sheâs currently being restrained by Claraâs accessories. As long as we take off her accessories, sheâll be fine.â
With that, Jordan immediately took off all the ancient accessories on Victoriaâs neck, ears and hands. He threw them to Salvatore. âBurn these things. Burn them down to ashes. Donât leave any remains behind!â
Salvatore said, âYes!â
Jordan kept patting Victoriaâs face to wake her up.
As he tried to wake Victoria, Jordan asked Lauren, âBy the way, where did you find Victoria?â
Lauren answered, âIn a movie theater in a mall.â
âA movie theater?â Jordan was a little surprised. He never expected that Clara would go to such a place.
âWas the theater open? Was there anyone else with her when you found her?â Jordan asked.
Lauren replied, âIt was closed, but that woman gave the cinema a large sum of money and booked the entire venue. She was probably bored and wanted to watch a movie. When we found Victoria, she was sitting alone in the theater. There was no one else.â
Jordan heaved a sigh of relief. âThatâs good.â
About two minutes later, Victoria finally woke up.
âVictoria, youâre awake!â
Jordan held Victoriaâs hand happily. Over the past 10 hours, Jordan had been so worried that his dream would become reality. He had been so worried that Victoria would die!
Now, it was finally proven to be a false alarm!
âIâd rather not have the ability to predict the future. Iâd rather not be a Deity than have anything happen to Victoria!â
This was what Jordan kept thinking to himself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHubby⦠youâre back?â
Victoria was still in a daze when she saw Jordan.
Jordan smiled and nodded. âIâm back. Honey, Iâm sorry. I didnât protect you well.â
Victoria scratched her head and suddenly exclaimed. âOh right, thereâs a cleaner in the company. Sheâs very strange. She drugged me with some gas!â
Jordan held Victoriaâs hand and comforted her. âDonât be afraid, honey. Sheâs already dead. She canât harm you anymore.â
Victoria was a little shocked. She hurriedly stretched out her left wrist and looked at the time.
âItâs almost midnight? I was unconscious for more than 10 hours?â Victoria asked.
Jordan told her the truth. âVictoria, what Iâm going to tell you next might be a little frightening. The old lady you met took control of your body.â
âWhat? She controlled my body? How did she do that?!â Victoria was shocked.
Jordan said, âI donât know how she did it.â
Victoria hurriedly asked, âThen what did she use me for?â
Jordan and Lauren looked at each other. They couldnât bear to tell her the truth now.
âVictoria, why donât we talk about this tomorrow?â Jordan was a little worried that Victoria wouldnât be able to bear the truth.
But was Victoria the type of woman who would wait?
Victoria said, âHubby, you know me. Iâm a very strong person. You donât have to worry about me. Tell me honestly what happened to me over the last 10 hours!â
Jordan sighed. âYou killed someone.â
Victoria was dumbstruck. She trembled in fear.
âI⦠I killed someone?â
Victoria was about to cry.
Jordan held Victoriaâs hand and said, âHoney, youâre not the one who killed her. Itâs that old woman called Clara. Donât blame yourself for this.â
Victoria covered her face. âBut Iâm the CEO of a listed company. If I kill someone now, how can I go back to the company in the future? How can I face anyone? The entire society will think that Iâm a murderer. My life is over!â
On the side, Brad said, âAlthough Russell suppressed this matter immediately, someone still posted the photos online. Our people reported that they canât suppress this news anymore.â
Victoria immediately hugged Jordan like a child. âHubby, please save me. I didnât kill anyone. Tell them that I wasnât the murderer. I donât want to go to jail. I donât want to go to jail. Will anyone believe me? No one will believe me, right? Hubby⦠I didnât kill anyone⦠sob sobâ¦â
