Free Web NovelChapter 453: I Am Laughing Because You Are Naive And Cute
What Clement said made Wendy step back subconsciously.
She could never figure out by herself that she failed because of this.
Everything was going well, but it turned out that Clement had extraordinary taste discernment towards wine.
Looking down, Wendy knew that something would go wrong.
She was not able to get in touch with Todd just now.
It seemed that something already happened to him.
Wendy looked up and looked directly at Clement, "Where is Todd? What did you do to him?"
"Todd?" Clement did not care at all, "I will not do anything to him, rest assured. I am not interested in someone like him. He does not deserve my attention."
Clement was extremely arrogant.
But Wendy felt relieved.
Todd was involved in this matter because of her.
If anything happened to Todd, then Wendy would feel so sorry for him.
"However,.." Clement sounded threatening, "I have no interest in him, but in you."
Wendy just felt a little relieved but she was again startled by what Celemt said this time.
"What do you mean?" Wendy almost guessed what he was about to do correctly.
As expected, Clement continues, "Sleep with me for one night, then I promise that your boyfriend will be safe and sound. Otherwise, I cannot promise what my men will do to him."
Clement sent messages to his men while she was taking a shower in the bathroom.
He was actually thinking about how to prolong the time, find a chance and ask his men to come.
He did not expect that Wendy went to the bathroom proactively, which gave him the time and chance.
Clement’s men were not far away and they hurriedly came as soon as they got the message. They immediately found Todd who was hiding in secret and subdued him.
"No way!" Wendy shook her head and refused Clement explicitly, "Since I have failed, you can kill me or torture me, whatever you like. But it is impossible for me to sleep with you."
"I know that you are prepared for the worst result, otherwise, you will not dare to easily approach me," said Clement," But are you sure that you do not even care about your boyfriend’s safety?" frёeωebɳovel.com
"This is Norden Apartments here. I know that you are involved in the mafia, but I do not believe that you dare to do anything to me in this building." In fact, Wendy was very unconfident.
But she could not lower down her head now.
If she lowered down her head, it would mean that she acknowledged Clement’s suggestion.
"It seems that you do not know me very thoroughly." Clement smiled viciously, "It is too easy for me to kill you. You are both under my control now. As long as I give an order, neither of you can live anymore."
Wendy knew that Clement could kill them.
She was a little frightened and her heart beat faster.
Wendy was thinking about what she ought to do in this situation as quickly as possible.
But she could not come up with any good idea at that moment.
Wendy looked down slightly then she turned around tentatively and quickly ran out of the door.
Clement did not chase her when he saw her from behind.
Instead, he was sitting on the sofa comfortably, crossing his legs.
As soon as Wendy opened the door, she saw Todd who was tied up.
Several bodyguards controlled him.
"Todd...", Wendy was not surprised to see him tied up.
She observed to see how Todd was, obviously, he was beaten and he was injured in his face.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Wendy sounded concerned and anxious.
Todd shook his head," I am okay. What about you?’
...
Wendy shook her head and then closed her eyes, then she walked back as if she made a compromise.
Seeing the man sitting on the sofa, Wendy seemed like negotiating, "Change your requirement."
"What requirement?" Todd wanted to walk into the room when he heard what Wendy said, but the bodyguard stopped him from behind.
He stood at the door and said loudly, "Corrine, you cannot answer any of his requirements."
Wendy did not answer Todd, but she continued to talk to Clement, "Apart from the requirement just now, I can answer all the other requirements."
"Then, what about sleeping with me for two nights?" Clement looked at Wendy, full of evil passion and desire.
"I am not joking with you," Wendy said seriously.
"Do you think that I am joking with you?" Clement stood up from the sofa and looked at Wendy from her head to her toe, "Although you approached me on purpose, you did attract me a lot. And I am not negotiating with you, I am only giving you a chance. A chance that you and your boyfriend can survive. I only give you this chance one time. It is up to you whether you want it or not."
Clement indeed was not joking.
"You cannot say yes, Corrine, do not care about me," Todd shook his head vigorously, "Run, Corrine, do not care about me."
"Run?" Clement sounded like that he just heard the funniest joke. He looked at Todd and said, "You asked her to run in front of my eyes?"
Todd knew that it was impossible.
However, he could not just see Wendy answer Clement’s requirement for his sake.
"What? Do you still need time to consider?" Clement was generous, "I will give you some time to consider, no matter how long it takes. But the time comes with compensation. One minute in exchange for one of Todd’s fingers. If you have not finished considering in ten minutes, then I will cut his toes. If twenty minutes have passed and he has no more toes, then you do not need to consider anymore."
"Clement, come for me if you are a man." Todd thought about his phone call to Michael earlier.
Michael was on his way here.
Todd did not know when exactly Michael would arrive.
However, there was still hope if they delayed the time with Clement.
Todd struggled to stand up.
But as soon as he started to struggle, the bodyguard behind him kicked him violently.
Todd was forced to kneel down on the floor.
"Do you look like a man now?" Clement did not hide his ridicule to Todd at all, "How can you be qualified as a man since you cannot protect your own girlfriend? How weak you are that you need a woman to risk her life and flirt with other men?"
Clement no longer looked at Todd but turned to Wendy, "I almost forgot to ask you, what is your purpose of approaching me? If you did not come to kill me, then maybe you can be together with me and I can help you with what you want."
The purpose of Wendy was indeed not to kill Clement.
But Clement was on the same side as Christian.
Wendy was not so silly that she would believe in what Clement said.
"You are correct, I came to kill you," Wendy raised up her head slightly, even though she was controlled, she did not bow down her head, "Would you like to give me your life?"
"On the bed?" Clement did not hide his flirtation at all, "Then I am very willing to do so."
...
"You..." The shameless words from Clement made Wendy very furious.
However, before Wendy was able to say anything, Clement said coldly," One minute has passed, have you finished considering?" If not yet, I would receive Mr.Lewis’ finger first."
Clement stared at Wendy sternly and gloomily, but he said nothing.
He waved his hand and the security guard outside brought Todd in.
Todd was forced to kneel down in front of the table, and his finger was pressed on the table forcefully.
The security guard took out a knife and waited for Clement’s command.
"Three..."
Clement started to count down.
"Two..."
"You cannot say yes to him, Corrine..." Todd said loudly," Michael is coming soon, don’t care about me, Michael will come and save you very soon."
"One..."
As soon as Clement finished counting, Wendy immediately said," I promise you!"
She did not dare to bet Todd’s life.
Todd was involved in these matters because he just wanted to help her.
She could not let Todd be harmed because of it.
After taking a deep breath, Wendy said," You let him go, and I promise you."
"Corrine!" Todd shook his head and shouted loudly," Michael is indeed coming soon, I am lying to you. When Michael comes, none of them can escape. Do not compromise, do not compromise for my sake!"
"Michael?" Clement seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this name," Your relationship was indeed complicated. You are colluding with your ex-husband and cooperating with your current boyfriend at the same time, aren’t you?"
"Clement, you should know who Michael is. He is indeed coming. Take your people and leave if you are smart, otherwise..."
Hearing Todd’s threatening message, Clement responded as if he heard an extremely funny joke and he started to laugh," I know who Michael is. However, his power has not reached rheinsville city. No matter how powerful you are, you have to be humble in my territory!"
If they were in Lake City, Clement would be afraid of Michael.
But they were in rheinsville city.
Of course, Todd did not expect Clement to be afraid just because of what he said.
He had no other idea.
Wendy did not believe what Todd said.
She did not tell Michael her plan.
He was still in Lake City while she was video calling him earlier today.
How was it possible that he was in rheinsville city now?
She knew that her plan totally failed this time.
Closing her eyes, Wency said hopelessly," Let him go, and I will be with you."
Clement was very contented with her reaction.
He waved his hand and let his people take Todd out of the room.
Again, there were only two of them in the room.
Clement approached Wendy and made a gentle gesture with his hand to her.
Wendy turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Lying on the bed again, Wendy stared at the ceiling, completely desperate.
Actually, she had imagined the worst outcome.
She had imagined the scene today before.
Clement was not someone common, it was easy for one to be destroyed while dealing with him even if he made a slight mistake.
She just blamed herself for not being more careful and cautious.
Seeing Clement take off his bathrobe, Wendy asked calmly," Will you keep your promise?"
Wendy meant to ask if he would let Todd and her go as long as she accompanied him for one night, as he had promised.
Wendy said again, " I do not want to die now."
...
Clement seemed very satisfied with what Wendy said.
"It would be great if you were submissive to me like this earlier." Clement had taken off all his clothes and strode forward, "it is not shameful to fear death, we are all human, and we are all afraid of death."
"So, will you keep your promise?" Wendy was somehow desperate when she saw Clement coming closer and closer to her.
"It depends on whether you can satisfy me..." Then Clement started to laugh aloud.
Clement started to touch Wendy’s face with his hands.
Wendy’s skin was very nice, fair, and smooth.
Clement seemed very satisfied, "As long as you can make me satisfied, not to mention you and Todd’s life, I can give you whatever you want."
Clement had to admit that Wendy really attracted him a lot.
If she did not approach him on purpose, he would like to keep her around him.
Wendy did not say anything anymore.
It seemed that she was waiting for what was going to happen to her next in silence and despair.
She could feel Clement’s hands touching all her body.
Wendy had already made a decision but now she regretted it.
She suddenly opened her eyes, Would she just acknowledge her failure and compromise like this?
No, she could not!
Wendy looked to the side and saw the drawer next to the bed.
There was a dagger that she prepared in advance inside the drawer...
Wendy had prepared herself for the worst situation.
Therefore, she prepared a dagger in the drawer in advance.
She would choose to die together with Clement at the very last moment.
However, Wendy thought of Michael and their two children.
What about them if she died?
But if she did nothing, could she just allow Clement to do whatever he liked on her?
If she did not have to die, if she could still control Clement when he was off guard, maybe there was still a chance.
Clement had already taken off Wendy’s clothes.
Wendy knew that she had only her underwear left.
It would be too late if she still hesitated to make a decision and waited.
It seemed that Wendy could not think rationally at that moment.
She closed her eyes for a while and then opened the drawer next to the bed.
She took out the dagger quickly, while Clement was taking off her underwear, she put the dagger on his neck.
Wendy put some force on the dagger. There was a small cut on Clement’s neck and blood came out.
"Let us go..." Wendy threatened him coldly, "Otherwise, I will be ruthless."
Clement did not expect at all that Wendy would do this to him.
She was intelligent and brave even though she looked weak.
The pain on his neck made Clement more awakened and clear in his mind. He laughed and supported himself with his hands on the bed. He looked down at the woman, "Do you know who you are threatening?"
"I only know that this is my last chance." Wendy swallowed and put more force on the dagger," Do not play any trick, in the worst case situation, we will die together!"
"Die together?" Clement started to laughed really loudly.
"Why are you laughing?" Clement’s laugh made Wendy a little terrified.
"I am laughing because you are naive and cute..." Clement deliberately came closer to the dagger and more blood came out. But it seemed that he did not feel the pain at all, "Can your hands that are used to holding painting brushes hold this danger steadily?"
