Chapter 729 Here Comes Veronica (92)
Veronica extremely hated Rodger for his actions. When Rodger scratched her skin earlier, she was so disgusted that she almost vomited.
Veronica felt it absurd now that Rodger wanted to threaten Raymond by kidnapping her.
Raymond came to save Veronica, probably because he was grateful to her for saving Shirley. Rodger was simply a madman.
If Raymond really listened to Rodger and tied himself up, Rodger would never let him go easily.
Rodger would probably kill both of them.
"Rodger, I was the one who saved Ms. Hopper from your hands. Just do it if you want to kill me! Don't hurt others!" Veronica shouted as she glared at Rodger with a fierce look in her eyes.
Rodger looked at her with a mocking smile. "You two seem to care for each other very much. Be patient. I'll deal with you after I kill him. Don't worry... I'll take good care of you since you're so beautiful." Bastard!
Suddenly, Veronica's hand, which was tied behind her, touched a protruding corner of the car. Her eyes lit up, and she rubbed the rope against the corner.
Rodger was still in a confrontation with Raymond.
"Raymond, have you thought about it? Tie yourself up, or... I'll cut her pretty face!" Rodger waved the dagger in his hand close to Veronica's face.
At this moment...
The rope on Veronica's hand had been cut off. She quickly grabbed Rodger's wrist and pinched it, causing him to drop the dagger. Before it fell to the ground, Veronica kicked the dagger away accurately. Rodger was caught off guard as he did not expect she could break free from the rope.
"What is going on?" Seeing that Veronica had already escaped, Rodger immediately ordered the people beside him, "Hurry up. Catch her."
Four more cars drove over at the same time. More than a dozen people got out of the cars. They were all wearing black suits and holding guns in their hands. They surrounded Rodger and the three men of the Black Snake Gang.
As for Veronica, who had escaped, she was pulled into a powerful embrace. She was held so tight that she was in pain and almost unable to breathe.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"I can't... I can't breathe!" Veronica cried in Raymond's embrace.
Raymond loosened his arms around Veronica. His slightly calloused fingers gently brushed across her slightly swollen face. This action made her already burning cheeks hurt even more. Veronica stiffened in his arms and hissed.
Then Raymond's fingers moved away from her face. He took off his suit and wrapped it around Veronica's body.
Raymond's clothes were several sizes bigger than hers, which was enough to cover her entire upper body.
Raymond put his arm around her shoulder, opened the back door of his Bentley, and got Veronica in the car. Before closing the door, he instructed, "Stay inside."
As he was about to close the car door, Veronica reached out to hold it and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. "Aren't you getting in the car?"
Under the light, Raymond's handsome facial features seemed ethereal, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"Those who came are all my men. I will be fine. You stay here. I will be back soon," Raymond said with rare gentleness. "Oh, okay!"
Before Raymond closed the door, he put down all the curtains of the car window and locked the door.
Staying in the comfortable car and smelling the familiar scent inside, Veronica felt that she was safe.
...
The moment the car door closed, Raymond's gentle look instantly changed to a cold and malicious one, with terrifying killing intent in his dark eyes. He unbuttoned the buttons on his shirt and walked toward Rodger.
Raymond was like a blood-thirsty demon in hell with a baleful aura.
Rodger, who had been so arrogant just now, was now leaning against the car door and did not dare to move. The people of the Black Snake Gang raised their hands without any resistance as the black guns were aimed at them.
Rodger thought, 'These people were unreliable.'
As Raymond approached him with a dangerous aura, Rodger was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Raymond, Mr. Cordova, I was wrong!" Rodger bowed and apologized to Raymond. "I shouldn't have joked with you. I know I was wrong."
"Joke?" Raymond's eyes narrowed as he radiated a vicious aura. "What you did just now was just a joke?"
Rodger nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, it was just a joke. We were classmates. We haven't seen each other for so long, so I just made a joke with you. Maybe this joke went a bit too far. But Raymond, you will forgive me, right?"
"Really?" Raymond sneered, and his voice was indifferent.
Rodger didn't care whether Raymond believed himself or not. He continued, "It was also a joke that I didn't want to see anyone from the Cordova Group. Your company is one of the biggest corporations in Cloud City. It is the best choice for our Fortune Group to cooperate with you. When I get back, I will immediately draft an agreement and send it to the Cordova Group tomorrow!"
After all, this was a rare opportunity for The Cordova Group to cooperate with Fortune Group.
Compared to that woman, getting the contract with Fortune Group was more important, but... If Raymond really let him go, it was even more impossible for Rodger to let Fortune Group cooperate with The Cordova Group.
Rodger swallowed all the humiliation for the sake of escaping.
"Rodger, how many years have I known you? Do you think I would believe you?"
"If you don't believe me, I can write it down now as proof. I will immediately deal with the cooperation problem with The Cordova Group once I get back. Don't you want to cooperate with Fortune Group?" Rodger boldly looked up into Raymond's eyes. "Do you want to ruin the contract with Fortune Group for a woman?"
Raymond still sneered, looking at Rodger's despicable and shameless face, and then Raymond turned around.
At the sight of this, Rodger was secretly delighted, thinking that Raymond believed his words.
However, the next moment, Raymond turned around and kicked Rodger in the chest. Rodger with a broken rib was kicked, and two more ribs were instantly broken. Rodger gasped in pain.
Then, Raymond pulled Rodger up from the ground and threw him against the car. Just as he was about to slide down, Raymond grabbed him by the collar with one hand and punched him hard in the face.
