She had a faint feeling that something was amiss with Mr. Shawn but she couldn’t tell what it was…
Seeing that she had nowhere to escape, Mr. Shawn straightened up, walking toward her while fiddling with a knife in his hand…
Without saying a word, he lifted her chin with the knife in his hand and scanned her face for a few seconds before waving at the men beside him.
Soon one of the underlings took out a drug-soaked handkerchief and wrapped it around her neck from the back to the front, aiming to cover her mouth and nose…
When Amelia saw the stretched out hand, she turned her head and opened her mouth at lightning speed to sink her teeth into
his arm.
Like a wild beast meeting its prey, she exerted all her strength and bit hard, causing the man to be dripping with blood with his flesh torn apart.
“Ow! Ow! Ow!”
The man was in so much pain that his free hand reached out to tug her hair in an attempt to pull her away, but she insisted and did not let go as if she wanted to bite him to death.
Mr. Shawn hadn’t seemed to expect her to be so bold, so he picked up the knife in his hand and sent it stabbing into her arm…
Once the sharp dagger came piercing through her skin, Amelia subconsciously released the bite in pain…
The moment she let go, the bitten man immediately grasped the opportunity to pull her away and drag her some distance apart.
Enduring the severe pain, the man raised his other hand to send a hard slap over but was stopped by Mr. Shawn.
Still not speaking, Mr. Shawn stepped forward and grabbed Amelia’s wrist to drag her toward his car…
How could Amelia ever be willing to leave with him? As she desperately struggled, she tried to buy some time for Eva to return to the underground garage…
Mr. Shawn seemed to lose his patience seeing how she refused to comply. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulders before stuffing her into the car.
When Amelia was forced into the back seat, she had thought he was going to take her away, but little had she expected her to bend over and start tearing her clothes.
Her face drained all its colors with fright as she turned and pushed the other door, but she looked up to see a masked man blocking the door…
Before she had time to come up with better ideas, Mr. Shawn had taken off his coat, pouncing for her once more.
Amelia thrust her foot out, trying to kick him out the door, but he grabbed her ankle with one hand as if he had anticipated her move.
Clutching her foot, he dragged Amelia towards him, until where Amelia lay directly underneath him.
When the man leaned over to press her down, an icy chill ran down her spine as her entire body broke out with a cold sweat.
The pair of tiny hands didn’t give up in trying to uncover his mask.
No matter what, she must know who the bastard was!
Just as her hands came into contact with the mask, her wrist was instantly grabbed.
Without mercy, Mr. Shawn pressed her hand firmly against the car door.
With his legs pressing against her body and his one free hand clasping her, she could no longer move.
Her clear eyes overflowed with resentment as if she wanted nothing more than to scratch the man who had multiple times tainted her to death!
Just when Mr. Shawn was about to rip her clothes, there was a burst of rumble from a sports car in the garage…
Instead of searching for parking, it seemed to be rushing straight for them instead!
When the masked men noticed the sports car speeding in their direction, they stepped forward one after another to force the sports car to stop.
Yet, the sports car didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping. It would crash into whoever it ran into, one by one, as if to kill them all!
Sensing how disadvantageous the situation was for him, Mr. Shawn wasted no time releasing Amelia before he exited the car in a flurry and ran for his dear life after waving at the rest of the masked man.
Yet, the driver didn’t give Mr. Shawn a chance to escape. To everyone’s bewilderment, he drove straight toward him as if planning to send him to his death with a car hit.
Mr. Shawn was visibly panicked as he ran towards the elevator in fright.
Seeing him enter the elevator, the sports car stopped going after him.
Instead, he speedily reversed the car and came to stop in front of Amelia who had just climbed out of the car.
The car window wound down, revealing Neil’s half-smile.
“Get in the car!”
Seeing him, Amelia scrambled forward to open the door and got in.
“Why are you here?”
Neil focused on speeding in the direction of the garage exit as he replied, “I forgot that you’ll be discharged from the hospital today and came to class.”
Amelia was deeply relieved to hear so. She shot Neil a grateful look.
“Mr. Sherwood, it’s all thanks to you today…”
Neil seemed a little absent-minded as he took several constant glances at the rearview mirror, and looked away only when the car drove out of the underground garage.
Amelia would never have imagined that after driving out, he turned the steering wheel swiftly around a corner, and drove the car back to the garage.
Amelia stared blankly at Neil.
“What are you doing?”
There are so many masked figures back there, so it wasn’t a wise decision to drive back.
Neil dro ve in regardless and bumped into one of the masked men, safe and was about to go chasing after them.
After knocking him to the ground, Neil showed a satisfied smile.
“Ten, finally.”
Amelia was at a loss for words. She had assumed that he had driven back to take revenge, but it turned out that he had an OCD attack. The number of people was not complete, so he came back to make up for it!
After Neil felt relieved, he gave Amelia a sideways glance, only to see her shouting all of a sudden. “Run!”
The group of masked people who suffered a b low got up from the ground and clambered into the car one after another to give Neil’s car a bump.
Neil couldn’t fight against several cars, so he slammed on the accelerator and sped away from another exit.
Neil’s sports car driving skills are superb, just like a professional racing driver, wildly veering through the road.
After a period of wild driving, he slowed down the speed of the car and asked Amelia who had been staring at the rearview mirror.
“Have those idi ots caught up?”
Amelia resisted the urge to puke due to motion sickness before shaking her head at him. “No.”
Neil breathed a sigh of relief, and with another look at the pale-faced Amelia, frowned slightly at the sight of the blood on
her arm.
“Just when your previous injury has just healed, a new injury is added. You’re indeed ill-fated to live an exciting life.”
Amelia seemed to have long been accustomed to his sarcasm as she covered the wound and pursed her red lips, not answering.
Neil let go of her right hand gripping the steering wheel, opened the toolbox, took out a band-aid from it, and handed it to her.
“A band-aid, will it work?”
Amelia glanced at her wound before shifting her gaze to the tiny band-aid he handed over, at a loss for words.
“Neil, you for sure are Aaron’s apprentice.”
After getting along for three months, Amelia learned that Neil was Aaron’s apprentice. The two had similar styles and personalities.
Neil heard so, he raised a symmetrical smile across the corners of the lips on his stiff face. “I’m flattered.”
Amelia rolled her eyes and reached out. “Lend me your phone.”
Eva shouldn’t have spent too much time picking up her phone at the hospital, but seeing that there were no traces of her even after a long time, Amelia wondered what got in the way that delayed her progress.
Neil threw the phone at her. “The password is four zeros…”
Amelia wanted to ask him why he set such a simple password but once his obsessive-com impulsive disorder crossed her mind, she shut up.
She unlocked the phone and called Eva. The call got through after a few rings. “Eva, it’s me…”
Hearing Amelia’s voice, Eva withdrew her gaze from Paul before she asked, “Amelia, why are you using Neil’s phone?”
After Amelia explained what had happened, she reminded Eva, “Eva, if you haven’t left the hospital, wait for me. I’ll be heading back to the hospital to request the surveillance footage.”
Mr. Shawn’s previous appearances were all under the condition that surveillance cameras were not found.
Plus, he turned off the light to refrain her from taking a clear look at his figure on purpose.
Right then in broad daylight, however, he appeared in the underground garage.
Although wearing a mask, there stood a chance for the police to discover who he was as long as images of his figure were captured!
When she had seen Mr. Shawn sent so many messages paying homage to her, she had assumed that he had feelings for her.
Coupled with the fact that she was entangled in trivial matters and had no time to take into account what happened three years ago, she let it slide.
Who would have thought that three years later, he would try to force himself upon her and hurt her through such a method in front of so many men!
How could she let him go with each ease? Once she found out who he was, he would make sure to return double the humiliation she had suffered that day and the debt from three years ago!
After Amelia hung up the phone, she clenched her fists and instructed Neil, “Go back to the hospital.”
They would never be able to expect her to have the guts to return to the hospital, so the hospital should be the safest place on earth right then!
Neil showed a knowing smile as he gave a weird smirk, “Noted, Ms. Garcia, at your humble service.”
On Eva’s side, when she learned about the fact that Amelia had run into Mr. Shawn again and was almost taken advantage of, she hung up the phone in a puff and stormed to the monitoring room.
As soon as Paul sent Edith to the gynecology department, he saw Eva turning around. His first instinct was to try to catch up.
“Paul, where are you going?”
Edith stopped Paul. Looking extremely weak, Edith leaned against the wall as she said, “I’m not feeling well. Can’t you stay until I’m done with the doctor’s visit?”
Paul had no choice but to stop and return to Edith’s side, helplessly helping her into the room. With that, he sat down absent-mindedly in the waiting area.
When Amelia came to the surveillance room, she heard Eva’s angry voice.
“How could it be such a coincidence that the surveillance cameras are damaged at such a time?”
Amelia paused when she heard the sentence. The hope in her eyes shattered.
Mr. Shawn was still as cautious as whatever he did. He destroyed the surveillance in advance so that there wasn’t any evidence for her even if she wanted to call the police.
Eva wanted to continue to fight with the staff in the monitoring room when she was stopped by Amelia.
“Forget it, don’t make things difficult for them.”
Eva could only suppress her anger to turn her eyes to Amelia. At the sight of the wound on Amelia’s arm, her face sank.
“Mr. Shawn did it?”
Amelia gave a slight nod, to which Eva exploded with fury.
“I thought Mr. Shawn likes you. I really didn’t expect him to be such a bastard!”
With that, she dragged Amelia away from the monitoring room.
“Let’s first get the wound treated before we think of a way to get him to show himself!”
With Mr. Shawn making his moves in the dark, there was potential danger for Amelia any time, so they must get him caught the fastest they could.
Only by sending him to prison and locking him up for years could they feel at ease.
When the full-time driver, Neil, saw the two of them head for the emergency, sighed helplessly, and followed.
The wound was mild. After a brief treatment, the three left the hospital.
Neil decided to help them till the end, so he sent the two single ladies back home and stopped in for dinner.
When Eva and Amelia were discussing how to lure Mr. Shawn out, Neil, who was engrossed in eating, vaguely mumbled the words, “Lead the snake out of the hole.”
Eva had wanted to reject the idea. After all, they had used the method three years ago, but Amelia was a step faster in saying, “Now he knows that I’m alive, he’s guaranteed to come to me again. Since I can’t be guarding him all the time, I have to take the initiative to lure him out.”
As the thought crossed her mind, Amelia set her utensils aside. and withdrew her phone to scroll through her phone log.
After removing Mr. Shawn from the blacklist, Amelia logged into WhatsApp and clicked on the accept button of the friend
request.
Staring at Mr. Shawn’s avatar, she gave it some thought before typing the message for Mr. Shawn…
“Mr. Shawn, since you know I’m still alive, let’s agree on a time to meet and make everything clear to each other.”
The message sent by Amelia was simple and direct, an invitation to meet.
According to Mr. Shawn’s mind, he naturally knew that she wanted to catch him.
Since he wanted sex with her, he would pounce on the chance to meet.
Amelia planned to lodge a police report as soon as the appointment was made. On the day of the meeting, she refused to believe that he would be able to escape if the police tagged along!
Eva was still a little worried.
“I’m afraid he won’t have the guts to show up like before, else I’d have caught him long ago.”
Amelia put the phone aside, saying with a frown, “I’ll think about another plan if he dares not show up. Let’s try this for the time being.”

Eva nodded, catching sight of Neil who was about to empty the plate from the corner of her eyes.
“Neil, can’t you save some food for Amelia?”
As if not to have heard her words, Neil picked up the last piece of beef and inserted it into his mouth, slowly chewing on it.
Eva rolled her eyes in speechlessness before she turned her head sideways to Amelia, and flashed her a soft smile.
“I’ll cook you something special tonight.”
Amelia wasn’t too bothered by the food. She remained staring at her phone, waiting for notifications.
How strange. According to Mr. Shawn’s character, he would reply in seconds as soon as she sent a text over.
Several minutes had passed, but there wasn’t a single reply from him. She wondered what he was thinking about?
After enjoying himself to the fullest, Neil picked up his suit and got back up, reminding Amelia, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll teach you basic drawing skills.”
Hearing so, the nervous Amelia lowered her phone, as if to pay attention to what Neil had to say next.
“Is there anything I need to prepare?”
Once again, Neil raised a perfectly symmetrical smile, saying stiffly, “Get your hands ready.”
With a choke, Amelia made up her mind to ignore him. Neil glanced at her, then threw the suit on his shoulders, swaggering out of the villa.
After he left, Amelia gave the servants of Aaron’s villa a call, requesting their help in sending the designs Aaron had delivered home over.
Aaron had mentioned that he had sent Skender’s drawings, projects, and drafts back to the villa.
Skender’s drawings had arrived long ago, but during the period she had been injured, she hadn’t had the time to pick them up.
She would start learning design drawing the next day. To avoid being lectured, she figured that it would be better for her to learn about Skender’s style in advance.
The servant soon brought the stuff over. After Amelia washed up, she lay on the bed and flipped through her sister’s drawings page by page.
Only when she saw the drawings did she realize why her sister was at the top spot of the architecture world.
