SWNOVELS Chapter 122
Chapter 122
Her frail body was trembling, and she had lost all her strength to struggle.
If Joshua wanted to do something to her now, he would definitely succeed.
However, for some reason, there was no sense of victory or pleasure in his heart, even as he stood on the brink of conquering her.
Christy’s fearful and hateful gaze was like mocking him, robbing him of his triumph.
At some point, he stopped and slowly released her.
Her tears never ceased, glaring at him with resentment and indignation. Then she desperately crawled out of his arms, limply holding onto the wall to escape towards the door.
Joshua could have reached out and held her back, but he failed to do so.
Watching her unwavering figure fleeing away, Joshua’s heart sank.
If Joshua had forcibly taken her just now, he would have achieved his goal of conquering her. However, Christy would hate him for the rest of her life.
That feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Especially that last gaze of resentment she threw at him, it was like a knife, piercing through his heart….
Joshua suddenly realized that he not only wanted to turn her into his woman, but wanted to win her heart.
He pounded the table in frustration.
At this moment, he was filled with deep remorse.
Joshua had tried everything to make her like him and her attitude towards him had indeed started to improve.
But why did he have to be so impulsive and let the beast within him take control?
He hurt her…
Joshua didn’t have the courage to chase after her.
Given that fiery personality of hers, seeing him now might only make her cry harder.
Joshua fell into deep thought.
Normally, Christy never treated him well, and Joshua had grown accustomed to her cold sarcasm. But just now, the fear in her expression was something he had never seen before.
How could a normal woman be indifferent to him under the temptation of money and luxurious romance?
And why did she seem so afraid of him, like a startled bird?
Was it just because of his behavior that crossed the line this time?
Joshua wanted to know what Christy was hiding and what had happened between them six years ago.
Damn it, during that time six years ago, there was a period where his memory was blank.
He couldn’t remember any fragments related to Christy.
Joshua felt depressed and poured himself a glass of red wine, taking a sip in silence.
Whether it was his taste buds or the wine itself, he felt like the taste wasn’t quite right.
Joshua abandoned the tall wine glass on the ground without any intention of drinking.
Sitting by the French window, he leaned his left shoulder against the glass while casually resting his right hand on his knee, a cigar burning between his fingers.
The dim spark flickered in the thin smoke as he smoked.
Joshua didn’t know how long it had been since he last used cigarettes to ease his sorrows.
But this night, he really couldn’t fall asleep.
As he gazed diagonally at the bustling night scene outside, his brown eyes were cold and blurry, and the brilliant neon lights blurred the dark scenery.
He didn’t know where that stubborn little woman had escaped to at this moment, and his heart felt as empty as ever.
Chapter 122
He had to admit that this tormenting feeling was nothing but damn loneliness.
After Christy escaped from that room, she took the elevator down to the lobby and ran out of the Blue Hotel.
She didn’t want to stay there for a single moment longer and wanted to take a bus back to her children’s side.
But at this time, there were no more buses available.
Christy thought to herself that she would have to call for a taxi.
Although it was expensive to take a taxi at this time, it was better than staying here and being bullied by that man.
After leaving the Blue Hotel, Christy wandered around the bustling streets.
Just then, a car parked at the intersection suddenly flashed its lights and honked at her.
Christy looked over and saw that the driver had rolled down the right side window.
It turned out to be Roy.
“Miss Christy, where do you want to go? Why don’t I give you a ride? It’s not safe for you to be alone here at night, Roy said honestly.
Roy was one of Joshua’s subordinates.
If she took his car, wouldn’t Joshua be able to find her with just one phone call?
Christy was very resistant to everything about him.
“No, thanks. I want to walk by myself. You can consider yourself off–duty and go rest. Don’t worry about me,” Christy replied calmly, not daring to look at Roy.
Her voice was a little hoarse.
Christy had cried too hard just now, her eyes were swollen, and the tears on her face had not yet dried.
Christy didn’t want Roy to see her in such a mess.
“But Miss Christy, it’s my job to provide transportation for you. You don’t have to be polite, Roy wanted to say something to persuade Christy to get in the car, but she had already walked away without looking back.
In order to get rid of his car, Christy crossed the road at the pedestrian crossing and headed in the opposite direction to where Roy was facing.
This road had double solid lines, so he couldn’t make a U–turn.
“Miss Christy, why are you avoiding me? Are you OK?”
In Roy’s impression, Christy was a very gentle person, rarely showing such an emotional side.
Roy hesitated whether to call Joshua to inform him of her situation.
But just then, through the rearview mirror, he saw a black sedan rushing out of a corner and blocking Christy’s path.
In a hurry, the back door of the sedan opened, and two burly men jumped out, one on each side, and surrounded Christy. Before she could even react, they pulled her into the car.
With a loud bang, the car door was shut, and the sedan sped away in a cloud of dust.
Roy turned pale with shock.
Could this be a case of robbers kidnapping Christy?
Roy didn’t dare to hesitate, and didn’t care about the traffic rules here. He turned around and followed the black sedan closely.
He nearly collided with a car that was coming in the opposite direction, but thanks to his superb driving skills, he made a beautiful turn and an incredible drift, narrowly avoiding the oncoming vehicle and continuing the chase.
Nervously following behind, Roy called Joshua on his phone.
At this moment, Joshua was sitting in front of the French window smoking a cigar when his cell phone rang suddenly.
Of course, it was Roy calling.
He was the driver assigned by Joshua to take care of Christy during this business trip. So Joshua had a bad feeling about this. Could it have something to do with Christy?
“What’s going on?” he answered immediately.

On the other end of the phone, Roy’s panicked voice came,
“Mr. Melendez, something terrible has happened! Miss Christy has been kidnapped! My car is trailing behind them, and according to their direction, they are headed towards the outskirts.”
What?
Joshua was shocked.
Damn it. How could something like this happen?
Who dared to take his woman right under his nose? This was unforgivable.
“Follow them closely! Send me your location!” Joshua ordered urgently. He immediately stood up with a swishing sound,
and his eyes were no longer filled with depression but as cold as a knife in winter.
He put on his neatly hanging suit jacket in heroic movements, as if he were putting on armor for battle….
