Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 173: Reaction

It was only after she had escaped to a far-off place that she slowed down and allowed herself to relax.

This place was so remote, especially since it was late, that getting a taxi was almost impossible. Moira Young walked for a long time before reaching a populated area, and then she took a taxi to Julian Sinclair’s house.

She had promised Mr. Miller that she would tell Julian Sinclair, so she had to keep her word.

When the taxi arrived at Julian Sinclair’s house, the driver turned on the interior light and glanced at Moira Young through the rearview mirror, "Miss, it’s ninety-six dollars."

Moira responded and was about to take out her card from her wallet, only to find that she couldn’t find her bank card no matter how hard she searched.

That was when she remembered that both her phone and wallet were back with the show crew.

Now she was in an awkward position.

"Miss, it’s ninety-six dollars in total. Would you like to pay by card, cash, or Alipay or WeChat?" The driver kept staring at Moira Young through the rearview mirror.

The driver was a man who seemed to be in his thirties, thin and dark-skinned. Moira Young accidentally caught a glimpse of his eyes on her through the rearview mirror.

There was something unsettling about it, something that made her afraid.

"I’m sorry, sir, can you wait here for a moment? I’ll go inside to get some money." Moira Young apologized with a guilty expression.

"Miss, do you not have any money with you?" the driver asked.

"Yeah, sorry, sir."

"How about this, you keep me company for a while, and I won’t charge you the fare this time. How about it?" The driver suddenly showed a terrifying expression.

Moira Young’s mind was entirely focused on how to keep herself together when she met Julian Sinclair, so she didn’t pay much attention to what the driver was saying.

"Sir, how can I not pay the fare? I’ll just go in and come out, please wait for me a moment." As Moira Young finished speaking, she reached out to open the car door, but the driver reacted faster than her and locked the door. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"What are you doing!" Moira Young’s eyes flashed with hostility, "I said I will definitely pay you!"

"How do I know if you’ll come back out after you go in? This place is so big, you can’t even see where the house is inside. What if you run away from somewhere else?"

Moira Young didn’t believe the driver’s thoughts were as he said, "Then just drive the car in. I said I’d pay you, and I will definitely do so."

"Keep me company for a while, and I won’t charge you the fare." The driver turned around, intending to reach out and touch Moira Young.

Moira Young dodged in panic and shouted instinctively, "There are cameras here! Let me out!"

The driver looked around, finding no cameras, and cursed under his breath, "Trying to scare me?"

"I’m serious! They’re just well-hidden and not easy to find!" Moira Young kept pounding on the car window with force, "Your license plate number has already been recorded, let me out, or this is kidnapping!"

The driver was a bit frightened. He looked around again, still finding no cameras, and felt insulted by a young girl, "Don’t give me this nonsense, hurry over and please me! Ever since I started driving taxis, I’ve been working like a dog every day, haven’t touched a woman in ages. Besides, I’m just asking for your mouth, not anything else!"

Moira Young couldn’t stand such obscene language! Her eyes turned red, invoking sympathy and helplessness.

The driver climbed over from the back seat, and Moira Young screamed in terror. She felt every hair on her body standing cold and trembling, sensing the stench of nausea and an oppressive aura approaching.

Unable to hold back, she directly vomited on the driver.

The driver was about to undo his belt, but her vomiting angered him thoroughly, and he prepared to slap her without a word!

"Bang!" A loud noise and vibration!

The window of the driver’s seat was suddenly smashed open, and immediately afterward, a slender hand reached in to unlock the car doors. Moira Young’s mind buzzed, but luckily she remained somewhat clear-headed and her first reaction was to quickly get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, the driver suddenly grabbed onto Moira Young’s clothes from behind, and it felt like a filthy claw had gripped her. Just as she was about to struggle, she was suddenly embraced tightly by a man with a familiar aura!

The man holding her then kicked the driver hard in the face, causing the driver to fall onto the back seat with a painful groan.

Moira Young stared blankly at the driver, then suddenly looked up, realizing it was Julian Sinclair!

No wonder... no wonder the scent was so familiar... so reassuring...

Moira Young’s tears fell uncontrollably. After a month, it was as if she relived the past’s goodness, with every scene of Julian Sinclair protecting her etched in her mind, impossible to forget.

Why... why does he always appear when there’s danger...

Julian Sinclair’s subordinates pinned the man to the ground.

Julian Sinclair’s eyes were extremely cold, exuding a fearful chill despite the late hour.

"Julian, how do we deal with him?" Gary asked.

Julian Sinclair instinctively covered Moira Young’s ears, his voice tinged with murderous intent, "Make him disappear."

At that moment, the warm temperature from Julian Sinclair’s palm transferred to Moira Young’s ears, and like a current, quickly swept through her whole body. Within two seconds, her legs went weak and her body slightly numb.

She didn’t hear Julian Sinclair’s words, but she was sure he had spoken because her back rested against his chest, and she clearly felt the vibrations from his speech.

Julian Sinclair removed his hands from Moira Young’s ears, even he was momentarily stunned—it was one of the rare instinctive reactions since his memory loss.

Soon after, Gary and the others took the driver away, leaving only Julian Sinclair and Moira Young.

It was only then that Moira Young remembered her most important reason for coming here!

"Mr. Miller has been imprisoned by Zayne Sinclair! Quickly, go save him!" Moira Young looked at him anxiously.

Julian Sinclair’s gaze remained tranquil, showing no reaction to the news.

"You have to save him!" Moira Young had always thought that Julian Sinclair’s failure to rescue Mr. Miller was intentional, that he no longer needed Mr. Miller, so he didn’t want to save him. Yet, when she truly felt Julian Sinclair’s indifference, it made her even sadder.

"Julian Sinclair! When I was your pawn, you treated me so well, but in the end, you just kicked me away! Mr. Miller was your butler, you always treated him differently, even called him Mr. Miller, but now you don’t need him, and you don’t even want to save his life!" Moira Young hadn’t cried or shouted like this in a long time, acting like a child and pushing him hard.

Julian Sinclair caught her hands as she pushed him; his voice was low, "Take me to him."

Hearing those words, Moira Young’s tears stopped instantly. Now the most important thing was to rescue Mr. Miller; everything else could be dealt with later.
