Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 802 - 800: Subtle Affection, Subtle Heartache (3)

Noah Reyes truly didn’t want Jimmy Horne to undergo that hellish training. It was inhumane, those days were not meant for people. Having endured the hardships himself, he didn’t wish for Jimmy Horne to suffer as well. He believed that with Jimmy’s intelligence, he could take over Blaze Gate even without any training. Unfortunately, when Jimmy first acknowledged his lineage and left Syrena with his parents to return to the secluded headquarters of Blaze Gate, he was taken and abandoned at the base by the elders.

Noah was deeply pained by this.

He even resented being the master of Blaze Gate, the mysterious organization feared by outsiders, which in essence was a remnant of feudalism. It was said that someone in the Reyes Family had once held high office, with outdated thinking and fantasies of being an emperor, resulting in such a system.

Adele Horne was not to be mentioned. Her son, whom she depended on for five years, suddenly vanished from her world. She almost collapsed. After countless crying fits, she could only patiently wait for the passage of time, hoping to see Jimmy Horne appear before her when he turned eighteen.

Luckily, later she and Noah Reyes had another son, providing some emotional solace. But in their hearts, they still longed for their eldest son, Jimmy.

"You brought me here, surely my parents will be very worried. Could you lend me a phone so I can call home and let them know I’m safe?" Camila Ruiz changed the topic.

The two hadn’t seen each other for ten years, and there were many things she wanted to ask him, but at once, neither could ask or answer everything. The most important thing now was to assure her safety.

Jimmy’s expression turned slightly sullen as he spoke gloomily, "I don’t have a phone. Though there is electricity and television here, there are no telephones or computers because any slightly advanced technology can connect with the outside world, and it’s forbidden to connect here. Only the elders have phones, but their SIM cards have been removed, able only to tell time. The whereabouts of the phone cards, only they know. I’ve searched for ten years and can’t find where the cards are hidden."

This was the real reason there was no news of him from the outside world over the years.

Because he simply couldn’t connect with the outside world.

The only private plane that could leave here, he couldn’t fly. The elders said he wasn’t allowed to pilot it before turning eighteen. And there weren’t any materials on piloting here, leaving him unable to secretly learn how to fly.

Moreover, the elders would keep a subtle eye on him, even approaching the plane was difficult.

Anyway, there’s still three years to go, and he doesn’t mind waiting three more years.

If not for the unbearable longing for her, he wouldn’t have resorted to extreme measures to bring her here.

"Well... Jimmy Horne, look at what you’ve done! You suddenly disappeared years ago, leaving your parents anguished, and now you do the same to me. You’ve made me disappear from my parents’ side too, making them bear the same sadness as your parents, haven’t you? Don’t you know not to do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself?" Camila Ruiz was infuriated upon hearing there was no outside connection.

Jimmy merely let his eyes flash, letting her chastise him.

After ten years, he seemed quite tolerant of her.

Or rather, his mind had matured.

"You need to have your subordinates..."

"They are my teachers," Jimmy calmly corrected her.

"I don’t care if they’re your subordinates or teachers, you need to have them inform my father that I’m with you and safe, or else I’ll never let you off." Camila Ruiz glared at Jimmy in anger, almost grabbing his collar.

That vile guy, after ten years, was even more loathsome.

Kidnapping her, frightening her with pythons, teasing her, making her lose the mood to care about his life over the past ten years.

"Silly Camila." Jimmy deliberately teased, "I want to know how you’ll never let me off? What’s the concept of ’never letting off’? Do you understand the deep meaning of those four words?"

"Jimmy Horne!"

Camila Ruiz lost all semblance of a Lady, shoving at Jimmy’s chest.

"Silly Camila, you’re not particularly beautiful, but considering our childhood connection, I can reluctantly accept you for life."

Huh? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Why would he look at her like that?

"I naturally can’t compare to Sister Florence. Since you find me unattractive, why didn’t you have her brought here to keep you company?"

Without warning, Camila Ruiz was pinned to the ground by him, enraged, just about to push him off, when he covered her mouth and growled softly, "Don’t move!" He quickly flipped the dining table over, turning it into a screen.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of gunshots rang out, bullets pierced through the table, hitting the wall on the other side and falling to the ground.

The table instantly became a hornet’s nest.

Camila Ruiz’s eyes widened more than a bull’s, filled with terror.

Why would someone suddenly open fire on them fiercely?

If he hadn’t pinned her down, she’d be full of holes by now.

A minute after the gunshots ceased, Jimmy released her mouth and cautiously rolled to the nearby light switch to turn off the light.
