Speed Candles novel Chapter 43

“Boom boom…”

“Open the door. Or I will let you die in your boots.”

The sound of smashing the door, yelling, and cursing could be heard without end outside the house. Emily was scared that she held the phone tightly and she could feel her heart thumping.

After about ten minutes, Oskar called her and told her that he had arrived at the elevator.

At that moment, she could feel a great sense of security. She leaned forward and look through the peephole. Oskar showed her half of his head in front of the peephole. For fear that she couldn’t see it, he specially held out two fingers to show her his scissor hands.

Emily felt so nervous. She saw Oskar was just next to these two men, but he still dared to greet her. She felt speechless and said, “Mr. Miller, please be careful. Don’t let them see you.”

Considering the potential danger, she then asked, “What are they holding?”

Oskar didn’t take it seriously. He hid at the elevator entrance and said, “I’m afraid they have a knife and gun.”

Emily was thrown into panic, “Then you hurry to hide inside. Don’t let them see you. The police will arrive later.”

After she finished speaking, she heard Oskar chuckle. And then he said with a sense of teasing, “You are such a yellow-bellied guy. They dare not do anything, just with two wooden sticks in their hands.”

When she just wanted to scold him for not being careful, a man’s rough voice sounded outside the door and through the mobile phone at the same time, “Hey, who the hell are you talking about?”

Oskar didn’t think too much and just responded, “I’m talking about you!” He hooked his index finger and looked like a ruffian, “Don’t look at me there. If you can, just come here.”

As soon as she wanted to say something, Oskar suddenly hung up the phone. A loud sound came from the outside, and then came a dirty word, “Bah! Fuck off.”

After spitting, he flung his stick on the ground and knocked on the door, “I’ve driven them away. Open the door quickly and invite me in for a cup of tea.”

“Wait a minute. I’ll move the sofa first.”

Emily previously took a lot of effort to drag the sofa to the door, but after what happened just now, she felt discouraged and couldn’t move the sofa at all.

In spite of anything, when the door opened, Oskar just walked into the house, and then sat on the sofa. He smiled and stared up at her, “I thought they were bandits, so I missed a few red lights on the way.”

Although the most dangerous part was gone now, it was still impossible for her to ridicule and laugh with him. Hearing his words, Emily subconsciously saw what time it was.

Emily was startled when she saw the watch, “It just takes you 15 minutes to come here from the east of the city. Did you fly here?”

Oskar said, “Do you really see me as a superman?” I was in a hotel when you called me. Otherwise, I couldn’t have arrived here now.”

Emily brought him the water. He held the bottle and then opened it, “Whom have you offended? Do you need my help?”

She had known that it was Dylan.

When the police came, the two men had already left. Emily could only apologize and got scolded by the police.

Oskar said she always lost her mind and did something really stupid at critical moments.

But Emily really thanked him for coming here. Oskar let her invite himself to dinner.

After dinner, Emily felt a little befuddled for a drink. It was almost 11:30. She came to the door and took a breath. They had a really nice chat and drank too much. She even forgot that she was not good at drinking.

When she came back to her senses, Oskar had paid the bill early, and she joked that he was really cunning, because it meant that she still needed to invite him to dinner next time.

When she walked out of the restaurant, she picked up the phone. It was from the Morris mansion. Maisie suddenly felt her heart uncomfortable. The servant called Emily to go to the hospital immediately.

Oskar came back from the toilet and saw her standing uneasily outside the door. He asked, “What happened?”

Emily said bluntly, “My grandmother suddenly felt her heart uncomfortable. I have to rush to the hospital now.”

Oskar didn’t ask too much. He strode outside, “Get in the car.”

Along the way, he found her anxious and pulling the corner of her clothes. He drove so quickly and their car was just like a black leopard running at night.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. Oskar followed Emily upstairs, for fear that they needed his help.

What a coincidence! Actually, nothing special happened between Oskar and her, but unfortunately, she met some familiar women in the hospital.

When they entered the elevator, the elevator on the other side opened, and seven or eight beauties came out, each of whom was beautiful and enchanting.

Even though she entered the elevator very quickly, a woman still saw them. When Zara saw they were together, she was very surprised and thought about different situations in her heart.

After she had seen them, naturally the rest of them also all saw them. Immediately, a woman said, “Is that Oskar Miller from K City just now?”

Another woman catered to her, “Yes, it is him. He’s changing girlfriends too fast! Two days ago, I saw a model was with him. But today, he was with another chick.”

Zara didn’t say anything. These women walked out of the hospital and kept talking about the gossip along the way, “Oskar was like the firewood which can be ignited easily, and sometimes, he could even make self-ignition. When the firepot meets the firewood, there would naturally be the fire.

Women naturally loved to gossip. One of them bantered with them, “He is the successor of the Prosperity. You can imagine how influential he is. If he picks on you, you should feel lucky.”

The woman who talked before was afraid of getting involved in the rich family. She quickly extricated herself and said, “I didn’t want to be married into such a rich family. I won’t even know how I died then.”

Zara glanced at that woman and said coldly, “You won’t have the chance.”

She said this to her sisters and also to herself. Although she was full of unnecessary misgivings, she still knew her limitations.

But after all, she was a woman with jealousy. When thinking about herself being teased by Emily before, she felt agitated. Her hatred for Emily couldn’t be described with words.
