Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 13

Rae was helpless. She took a deep breath before forcing herself to calm down to explain once again, “I’ll say this again for the last time! I really didn’t register for the competition and I didn’t give a damn care about this stuff! I don’t know who did it or who is supporting me behind! There are so many people who have crushes on me and maybe one of them did it for me! Why are you always blaming me?”

“Hum! You can say whatever you want since it has passed!” Belle snorted coldly.

“You…” Rae was pissed off as she couldn’t listen to what she said! In fact, she really had no interest in the truth but Belle was the one who cared the most! Rae really wanted to travel back in time to see who was the one registered for her and canvassed for votes!

“Miss Jordan.” Adam arrived and sensed something wrong, so he interrupted them weakly.

Rae didn’t want to argue with Belle so she walked away together with Adam under an opened umbrella and got into the car.

After getting into the car, she realized Jensen was in the car too.

“Why are you always angry?” Jensen closed his computer and put it aside, staring at her face when she got into the car.

“Do you still remember that high school beauty contest? Damn! I really want to beat the bastard who registered for me without my permission! I got no benefit from that stupid title, but one more enemy!” Rae cursed indignantly, “The main point is that, I heard Belle saying that the person even worked very hard and canvassed for me! Damn! I thought I won by charm!”

Jensen went speechless. He was holding a glass of wine and taking a small sip before hearing Rae’s complaints. Upon he heard that, his hand trembled suddenly, causing a splash of half cup of wine onto the car carpet.

Because, the bastard whom Rae cursed was in fact himself!

That was one of the stupid things he had done for Rae!

He didn’t know what he was thinking at that time but he thought that Rae was the one who should win the championship as the girl he liked was so outstanding that she should be praised accordingly.

“Jensen, what’s wrong with you?” Rae looked at him as it was rare to see him making mistakes!

“Nothing.” Jensen put his glass down and drew a tissue to wipe his wine-stained trousers.

“Mr. Knight, someone reported that the man was caught.” Adam said.

Jensen turned serious suddenly, he first glanced at Rae and asked, “Where else do you want to go shopping? I’d better go for something and I’ll come back to pick you up.”

“I am not going, let me go with you.” Rae rested in Jensen’s commercial vehicle and she was so comfortable that she didn’t want to move. It was for business use, with the back half of the carriage made into a small lounge with a sofa, a coffee table and a small fridge.

Without saying much, Jensen instructed Adam to turn around and head towards the destination. The car drove into an industrial warehouse within an hour. It seemed that the whole building belonged to Jensen as the gate was slowly lowered after they entered. The heat and brightness from the outside was blocked while the inside of the warehouse was somewhat cold and dark. Rae at first thought that what Jensen talked about was normal business but she didn’t expect it to be related to munition deals. It was her first time to get Jensen’s business this close.

Jensen raised his hand and pulled up the curtain of the car behind her while warning, “Don’t get out of the car, don’t peek and just wait for me here,” then he turned his head towards Adam and ordered, “Keep your eyes on her.”

“Alright, Mr. Knight!” Adam replied.

Rae nodded obediently.

As soon as Jensen got out of the car, Rae couldn’t hold back her curiosity and immediately picked up a corner of the curtain to peek outside.

Adam found her move and said, “Miss Jordan, no!”

“It’s fine if you don’t report to him! I don’t know anything about it, so I won’t reveal anything.” Rae waved her hands and explained.

“No, I’m afraid it is disgusting!” Adam suggested according to experience.

At first she didn’t understand his words but she soon did.

After Jensen got out of the car, two men immediately held a seriously injured man from a corner. The man was in a very bad condition. His face was almost deformed from the beating and it seemed that he was going to pass away soon. The men threw him to the ground and one of them took out a knife from his pocket and handed it to Jensen who then took it. Jensen shook the knife out of the case, and knelt down to put the blade close to the man’s eye…

Rae was shocked by this scene.

She had never thought that Jensen, who was patient and forgiving in front of her, would have such a cruel side?

Looking at the situation, it seemed that he was trying to stab the seriously injured man in the eye!

“Miss Jordan, don’t look at it…” Adam warned when he saw Rae who had already covered her mouth in fear just after seeing, how could she stand it if she kept watching? But again, Adam felt that it was good for her to see that it was rare for Jensen who was actually cruel and ruthless to treat her well and she should cherish him better.

“Does he offend Jensen?” Rae asked. She couldn’t hear what they were talking about and she could only see the seriously injured man stubbornly glaring at Jensen with his head raised high. Yet, she could only see Jensen’s back from her angle even though she couldn’t see his expression. She could feel that the knife in Jensen’s hand would be plunged into the man’s eyes at any moment! Although she had seen many brutal scenes in movies where the gangland would stomp on people’s fingers and cut off their ears and tongues, but now that she was watching the live version for the first time! And she felt more nervous than ever!

Especially when the person who raised the knife was Jensen, the man whom she slept day and night with and the man who treated her with so much tolerance and love! What she wanted to know was, which side was Jensen’s disguise? Was it the cruel side she saw now or the patient side he showed when she was so angry and helpless?

“Well, Mr. Knight was shot in the shoulder and if this man hadn’t betrayed Mr. Knight, the other party wouldn’t blackmailed Mr. Knight and neither would he been injured either.” Adam explained.

“Ugh…!!!”

The seriously injured man shouted out in pain!

Rae still heard it even though the car was excellently soundproofed.

“Ugh!” Rae was shocked at the same time with her hands tightly covering her mouth!

The knife in Jensen’s hand suddenly stabbed down very hard and the blade even turned around in the man’s eyes very cruelly .

The man’s wails grew louder.

Blood and flesh flowed down his face and the seriously injured man’s face was distorted with pain. Yet, the horror was that Jensen seemed unmoved while continuing to turn the blade in his hand with his eyes looking directly at the bloody wound. Even she couldn’t see his face, Rae could imagine that his face must be very calm and graceful at this moment.

“Ew…” Rae couldn’t watch anymore and wanted to vomit. She hurriedly pulled back the curtain and her heart thumped.

It was too cruel and too bloody!

She meant Jensen but not the scene!

“I’ve told you not to look at it!” Adam saw and sighed.

Rae was still breathing deeply when she heard the sound of the car door being pulled open with a click and she sensitively dodged to the corner of the sofa.

It was Jensen who pulled the door open, yet, his white shirt was still clean without any blood stain at all.

Yet, wasn’t it the most horrifying?

How many people had been injured by him before he learned the technique to keep blood away him?

Jensen pulled open the door and saw Rae’s eyes were wild with terror. She seemed frightened when he glanced at the curtain that was lifted at one corner. He said resignedly, “Didn’t I tell you not to peek? You really make me worried!” After finishing his words, he got into the car, sat down and instructed, “Go home.”

“Alright, Mr. Knight.” Adam started the car.

The car drove out of the warehouse and it became bright again. The disparity made Rae feel like that she had had a travel in hell.

“You show me purposely?” Rae asked bravely. Jensen knew her best. She was full of curiosity but he intentionally warned her to stay in the car.

“Not really on purpose, I have asked you if you wanted to go shopping but you rejected.” Jensen served himself a glass of wine and took a sip before putting it down while adding, “Alright, I admit if you insist, but Rae, we are going to get married later and I don’t want to hide anything from you.”

“But you only suffer a little injury on your shoulder…” Rae’s mind was filled with the scene of stabbing the man’s eye and she felt that the punishment was too cruel. Yet, she didn’t even notice that Jensen mentioned getting married.

“No, it’s not a case of the injury in my shoulder but mercy matters. If I let him off this time then the others will be less obedient to me. It will be harder to control them in the future.” Jensen patiently explained to Rae that he had a reason for everything. “When I was young, I was too weak and merciful but my father forced me to kill the dog. I always wondered if I had understood this since then, would it happen?”

Jensen still remembered the time when he held the knife but couldn’t kill the dog. What did Stefan say at that time? He said, “Jensen, I know you have an crush on the maid’s daughter.”

Upon hearing that, he was instantly scared. Finally he closed his eyes and killed the dog which he had fed for two years …

So, he had to change.

Not only for himself but for everything he want to protect. He was afraid that if he was weak, Rae would be hurt like his dog.

He would never let that happen again.

Rae actually understood him after listening to his sufferings. If he wasn’t cruel, he would have suffered a hard time again. Rae’s heart was filled with compassion when she thought of the little boy who was kind being forced into such a situation, yet, she climbed over the end of the sofa and hugging him after a few second of hesitation.

Jensen was stunned by her action as he thought Rae would still be afraid for two or three days before she would get close to him. After all, he had already envisaged the consequences before he decided to show her the other side of him. If she really wanted to escape from him, he would let her go, but he didn’t expect her to hug him. Jensen caressed her hair and murmured, “Rae, I don’t want your sympathy.”
