Chapter 311

Heloise was just as reluctant to part, so she did not refuse. She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head up to kiss him back.Her response only darkened the look in his eyes.Desire surged through every nerve, impossible to suppress.The car continued cruising steadily along the road, yet Reginald was unwilling to waste even a single moment.Heloise had never done anything so reckless. By the time the car reached the manor, she was drenched in sweat, as though she had been tossed back and forth through waves of scorching heat.Reginald hastily helped her back into her clothes before carrying her out of the car and straight into the mansion."Young Master and Miss are back—"Jane had barely stepped out to greet them when she felt a gust of wind sweep past her. She did not even manage to see clearly whether it was Reginald and Heloise who had returned.The moment they entered the room, their clothes were carelessly shed once more.Hot water cascaded down, shrouding the whi

Bingo.He handled pressure fairly well.Heloise nodded, harboring no further suspicion. When she looked up, she saw Jane standing in the doorway of the study, holding Little Dolphin in her arms and gazing at her with obvious reluctance. Clearly, Jane knew they were about to part."Jane."Smiling, Heloise walked over and took Little Dolphin from her arms."Miss, once I'm no longer by your side, you still have to eat your meals properly. Go to bed early at night. Don't stay up too late."Jane's voice trembled with reluctance, her eyes already glistening with tears.Heloise was equally reluctant to leave."I told you before that when I left, I'd take you with me. But this time, I'm only leaving temporarily. I'll come back. We'll see each other again.""Mmm."Jane nodded repeatedly through her sobs.As they spoke by the doorway, Reginald sat at the desk with his eyes lowered. A row of medicine bottles lay spread across the desktop. He reached for one bottle labeled as a nutritional supple

The sound of running footsteps echoed in chaotic disarray.At the intersection of the two roads, floodlights turned the night as bright as day.Just as they had planned, Heloise shook off everyone pursuing her and leapt into the sports car. She started the engine with practiced ease and lifted one foot off the clutch.Outside the window, Reginald stood amid the chaos, his gray eyes fixed unwaveringly on her, as though the gunfire, the commotion, and the pandemonium around him had nothing to do with him.His eyes held only her.Someone slammed into him, knocking him a staggering step sideways, yet he did not react at all....Seated behind the wheel, Heloise met his gaze through the window.There was no expression on his face, yet an inexplicable ache spread across her chest.Reginald.I'll come back for you.I will.She looked at him one last time before forcing herself to tear her eyes away. Facing forward, she slammed her foot onto the accelerator.The red sports car shot forward li

Reginald’s temper was not something just anyone could endure. Unless their bottom line had been threatened, who would dare make an enemy of him so lightly?The fire was still raging.Many people had already withdrawn. Only the Presidential Office personnel and Reginald’s subordinates remained at the scene. Some grabbed fire extinguishers from the vehicles and tried to put out the flames, but the blaze was far too fierce, and their efforts achieved little.Meanwhile, by the distant riverside, a frail figure—so thin she looked as though the wind could blow her away—slowly emerged, hiding behind a tree. Her eyes glared venomously at the inferno, the flickering firelight casting shifting reflections across her pale face.It was Tricia."Cough."Unable to withstand the chilly night wind, Tricia coughed and quickly covered her mouth.She stared fixedly at the flames.Dead?Impossible.Her second brother liked that woman, Heloise, far too much. There was no way he would simply hand her over.

"If anything happens to her, neither of you is getting away."With that, Reginald sprinted toward a nearby car. Seeing this, Benjamin and Ben rushed forward to stop him, but neither of them could hold him back.Reginald jumped into the driver's seat. Without even fastening his seat belt, he started the engine and floored the accelerator, speeding straight toward the blaze.Benjamin was dumbfounded.What kind of situation was this?His memory hadn't been disordered before, nor afterward—why did it have to become disordered again at this exact moment?Beside him, Ben climbed into another car, his face pale. Benjamin didn't hesitate either. As Ben started the engine, he yanked open the passenger door and jumped inside."Let's go together."Reginald tore down the road at breakneck speed, his foot pressed flat against the accelerator.Every pedestrian and vehicle on the road scattered out of his way in fear.His dark eyes were locked on the road ahead. His long fingers gripped the steering

Heloise was finally dead.Good.From this day forward, her second brother would no longer have a weakness.But once he had no weakness, who would he ever need to fear again?She still wouldn't be able to get close to him.Tricia gazed at Reginald's kneeling figure. The despair in his eyes made even her heart ache, as though it had been ripped out of her chest alive.She let out a bitter laugh and slowly stepped backward.Gradually, a trace of triumph flashed across her eyes.Heloise...In the end, you still lost to me.I won.As long as I won, that's enough....At the same moment, Heloise and Lucas emerged from another exit of the underground tunnel onto the darkened ground.Several heavy motorcycles were parked by the roadside.To avoid attracting attention, no cars had been prepared.Lucas picked up a helmet and handed it to Heloise."Let's go."Standing there, Heloise dusted the dirt off her clothes, shook out her hair, and looked into the distance.Towering flames lit up the hori
