A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 55

"Who are you? What's your relationship with him?" One of the fierce gangsters pointed at Audrey's nose and asked angrily.

Audrey hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "I have nothing to do with him."

She was still staring at the man's feet. "Sir, please move your foot. You're stepping on my jade pendant!"

"How interesting! What if I refuse?"

Hearing that, Audrey raised her head and saw a handsome face.

Accustomed to Bryson's handsome face, she was not impressed by this man's appearance too much.

Shen calmed herself down and glared at the man. "Sir, I'm not interested in the fight between you and that guy. Please move your foot, so I can get back what belongs to me. Then you two can continue your fight, OK?"

The man was smiling mischievously.

He sneered. "I am not moving. What would you do?"

Audrey took a deep breath and took a step back, "Well, then I'll wait for you guys. I'll pick up the pendant after you are done."

The man lowered his head and picked up the jade pendant under his shoe to mess with Audrey. Looking at the jade pendant, Audrey subconsciously reached out to snatch it back. But the man suddenly straightened his arm, so Audrey failed.

"Give it back to me!" Audrey anxiously looked at the jade pendant held by the man in his palm.

"What would you do if I smash it?"

"You!" Audrey gritted her teeth angrily.

While they were talking, the dozen or so gangsters surrounding the man were already impatient.

The leader commanded, "Forget about that woman. Go get him!"

Hearing that, those gangsters rushed towards Audrey and the man.

Worried that her jade pendant would be destroyed in the fight, Audrey had no choice but to help the man to fight against the dozen gangsters.

The man was surprised when he found that Audrey was good at fighting.

He kicked away a gangster and said, "Not bad!"

Audrey said angrily after dodging a gangster.

"When will you give my jade pendant back to me?"

"Let's talk about this after I'm safe and sound!"

'Such a shameless man.' Audrey thought.

Audrey had to do her utmost to get rid of the gangsters. The man was also good at fighting.

So not long after, the two of them knocked down all the gangsters.

Seeing that they were unable to defeat the two people, the gangsters quickly fled in panic. After a short while, only Audrey and the man were there.

Audrey looked at the man grimly and extended her hand towards him.

"Give it back!"

The man looked at Audrey mockingly, took a step forward and stood in front of Audrey. He gently pinched Audrey's chin with his rough fingers.

Just as he touched Audrey's chin, Audrey became vigilant and took a step back.

"What are you doing?" She shouted sharply, her eyes shining with vigilance.

The man scoffed. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. Seconds later, he put on a mocking expression. "It's just a jade pendant. Why do you care about it so much?"

"None of your business."

The man continued to look at her with a mocking smile on his face. Suddenly, he raised his hand and threw out the jade pendant.

There was a garbage dump in the distance, and the jade pendant happened to fall into it.

Seeing that, Audrey was pissed and kicked the man in the leg. She quickly ran towards the garbage dump.

The man felt his leg hurt, and before he could say anything, he saw Audrey threw herself into the rubbish dump.

Audrey's behavior surprised him.

After searching for about half an hour, Audrey still didn't find the pendant. She was on the verge of breaking down.

The jade pendant was the only thing left by her younger brother. If it was gone, how would she find her younger brother?

When Audrey was rummaging through the rubbish dump for the second time, she heard a faint male voice.

"Stop looking!"

Audrey saw the mischievous man standing behind her from the corner of her eye, but she didn't want to look at him.

Seeing that Audrey ignored him, the man fanned himself with his hand and tried hard not to vomit.

"Stop looking. You won't find the pendant there."

"I don't want to see you!" Audrey said without turning her head.

"Really? Then I'll leave with this jade pendant!"

Hearing the words 'jade pendant', Audrey immediately raised her head, turned around and saw her jade pendant in the man's hand.

'He didn't throw my jade pendant just now?'

"But that's not important. As long as I have the pendant."

She got up from the rubbish dump and walked to the man, not caring about the stains on her clothes.

"Give it back!"

The man looked at Audrey who was dirty all over with disgust. Moreover, she was reeking because she had rummaged through the garbage dump.

Audrey was shrewd enough to find that the man disliked her smell and the stains now. So she quickly approached him. The man was too surprised and subconsciously retreated to keep away from Audrey. Audrey then took the chance and quickly snatched the jade pendant back.

Looking at the pendant, Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to look at the mischievous man behind her at all, so she turned to leave. She had an appointment with the Thomsons this evening. She couldn't wear the dirty clothes. She had to go back now, take a shower and change her clothes.

The man looked at Audrey's back in disbelief when she resolutely turned around and left.

Not long after, six men dressed like bodyguards walked to the man and said, looking panicked, "Boss, we finally found you. I heard that the people from the Tiger Gang were here. Are you alright?"

The man looked impatient and turned around with his hands in his pockets. "Of course I am alright. Go back to the Brook Villa."

"Yes!"

...

In the Golden Hotel.

Audrey sniffed her sleeves in disgust as she hurried into the hotel.

She walked straight towards the elevator.

The minute she stood in front of the elevator, someone suddenly gripped her wrist and she was forced to stop.

The next second, she was pulled into one's arms and a husky male voice sounded above her head. "What happened to you?"

Audrey frowned in pain because the man had exerted much strength. When she tried to resist, she heard Bryson Cordova questioning her.

"Oh. Hi, Mr. Bryson."

Getting closer, Bryson found Audrey looked even messier. His face turned gloomy.

"Where did you go? What happened?"

Audrey knew that Bryson was referring to the stains on her body.

Subconsciously, she lied, "Well, I went out for a walk but accidentally fell into the garbage dump. It's nothing. I'll take a shower and change my clothes after getting home."

She was still in Bryson's arms.

She struggled, but Bryson did not have the slightest intention of letting go.
