Chapter 11
Samantha felt that she couldn't hold on anymore, and she whispered her final goodbye to the cold air, "Jonathan, Daniel, Pearl, this is the end of me. Don't take revenge for me, just live a happy life."
This woman was so stubborn, why won't she cry or beg for mercy?
Peter twisted his eyebrows, and turned his face away from Samantha, "Idiot, the crocodile is gone and I'm not kicking you back in anymore. Just get out of the damn water already!"
Peter was so irritated that he pulled open the collar of his shirt, revealing his well-toned chest. Snowflakes were falling onto his head and were melting into water droplets.
The scene was ripped straight from a romance movie. If a woman ever saw his seductive posture, her heart would melt at the sight.
Peter has always been a handsome man, every woman who has ever seen him thought he was an angel on Earth. Samantha knew otherwise, to her he has always been a demon from Hell.
"President Xiao," Lian hurried in. "Jonathan Xu has come to visit."
"Jonathan who?" Peter asked.
"It's Jonathan Xu, the youngest deputy director of the Zhongzhou Police Department, the first handsome guy in the police force, he often checks our clubhouse. He says that his woman is in our house, should we let him in?"
Peter's black eyes suddenly shrank, he glanced at Samantha, and he remembered her words. "My fiancée is a police inspector. If you kill me, he will definitely take revenge on you."
Some police inspector he is, he's clearly a rabid animal.
He felt a strange tingle in his heart and he said indifferently, "No."
Lian glanced at the pond and cautiously persuaded him, "President Xiao, Jonathan has an unfriendly look on his face. It would be much better if we just return Samantha to him. What we are doing isn't exactly legal and it would be a misstep if we have a policeman as an enemy."
"I need to be friends with a lowly inspector?" Peter snorted coldly. He couldn't accept Jonathan's superiority.
"President Xiao, she's just a scared child who made a few mistakes. It would be better to just let her repent and forgive her before this gets out of hand."
Lian's remarks about Samantha were two-sided. "Jonathan also seems emotional. Even if he wasn't allowed to come in, he would probably just use his authority to break in forcefully. Samantha is a very important person to him."
Peter found it interesting, he could see an opportunity to break Jonathan. "If she's so important, how can I use her against him?"
"Use her against him?" Lian was confused.
"No, it's nothing," Peter curled his lips, his cold star-like eyes were hatching a devious plan. "Let him come in."
"Yes, sir." Lian felt relieved, he turned around, and glanced at the weak figure in the pond. He didn't feel so worried now, her lover was here to save her.
...
Outside the gate, police forces had arrived, all of them had guns with live ammunition.
Jonathan knew that Peter wouldn't let him in. He ordered his subordinates to support him, and with a search warrant in hand, he was ready to breach in.
"Whoa! What's with the battlefield? There's no need for that, we're all friends here."
Jonathan quickly knew who it was from the voice alone. "Jonathan, it's been too long."
Lian stepped out of the gates, he smiled fearlessly in the face of armed men, and gracefully gestured to guide him inside, "My young master would like to see you."
"Secretary Ou, thank you!" Jonathan, was a man who knew the rules, he left his gun, handcuffs and wiretap to his subordinates and followed Lian inside.
Passing through the quiet courtyard, they went upstairs.
A tall man came into view, his perfect figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist made an inverted triangle. It was Peter
On that snowy day, Peter only wore a white shirt, he was cold, elegant, and awe-inspiring. Jonathan, the first handsome guy in the police force, was overshadowed by his expensive style.
"Mr. Xiao, congratulations on your wedding," Jonathan greeted him politely and he expressed his intentions directly. "My fiancée said that she had to stay at your home for work. She had lived abroad for a long time and she doesn't understand local customs. If she has troubled you and your wife, then I would like to apologize on her behalf."
"Fiancée?" Peter turned around abruptly. He overpowered Jonathan, and he looked down on him. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Yes," Jonathan said without any intention on backing down. "She and I are going to get married. Let me tell you, our child is already three years old."
"This is troublesome." Peter sneered, his eyes were looking all around, like he was trying to find an answer to something.
"If you can give her back to me, I'll always remember your kindness." Jonathan restrained himself just this once, all for Samantha.
"I want to give her to you too, but it's just unfortunate." This was it, the climax was building up in Peter's eyes.
"What's unfortunate?" Jonathan raised his eyebrows slightly, not feeling two steps forward.
"Unfortunately, she is already married to me." Peter put one hand in his trouser pocket, he smiled scornfully, and said shamelessly, "Samantha is my wife who has vowed to spend the rest of her life with me! It would be going against our vows if I gave her away to you."
"What?" As soon as his remark came out, three people were shocked with thunder.
Jonathan was obviously surprised, but Lian felt betrayed. This was supposed to be a peaceful negotiation, give Samantha back and live a peaceful and quiet life with Cassandra afterwards, but Peter had just admitted that Samantha was his wife now.
Why would he ever do this? Did his taste in women drop? Did he just want to screw with Jonathan? Or did he want to play with Samantha more? Lian had worked with Peter for many years, but he couldn't figure him out this time.
