Chapter 1421: The Price

The Human Club, a high-end establishment located in the heart of City A, was frequented by the wealthy and elite. Gemma Bessemer arrived at her destination at 7 PM. Standing before the door of Room 503, she knocked gently. Upon receiving a response from within, she pushed the door open and entered."Please have a seat, Assistant Xia," Han Xiao said, his eyes lighting up as he watched Gemma Bessemer approach. He tugged at the corners of his lips, forming a barely noticeable smile. However, Gemma Bessemer did not notice this subtle gesture. After sitting down on the sofa, she laid out all the evidence she had prepared on the table."Mr. Han.""This is my explanation.""Please take a look."Her tone was calm, devoid of any excess emotion. The situation had already developed to this point, and she had done everything she could. If the final outcome was still a broken partnership, there would be no regrets.At these words, Han Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. He reached out and picked

Chapter 1422: Where Are You?

The atmosphere between the father and daughter was somewhat stagnant.Frederic Bessemer lowered his gaze to look at Gemma Bessemer, suddenly letting out a sigh."Of course, I will give you the chance.""I just worry that you might be overestimating yourself.""For anything, just do your best.""If it really can't be done, no one will blame you."His words were not out of distrust for his beloved daughter.Nor did they carry any other meaning.He merely wanted to remind Gemma Bessemer and offer her some comfort.Gemma Bessemer, however, curved her eyes into a smile."I understand.""Of course, I will only do what is within my capability.""If it exceeds my ability, no matter how hard I try, it won't be done well.""I am very clear about this."But so far, there had been nothing that could truly stump her once she got involved."That's good.""Just go ahead with this matter.""If you encounter any difficulties, call me immediately."Frederic Bessemer reached out to pat

Chapter 1423: The Auction

Gemma Bessemer's eyebrows twitched slightly. After reading the content of the short message, she quickly replied, "City H." Just two simple words. After sending it, Gemma Bessemer thought for a moment and then typed another message, "What's up?" But there was no response to this message even after a long time. Gemma Bessemer frowned in confusion. However, given the current setting, she didn't feel it was appropriate to call and ask. She could only suppress her worry for now.At that moment, a small booklet was handed to her. Han Xiao's voice followed, with a hint of amusement, "See if there's anything you like." Hearing this, Gemma Bessemer's heart stirred. She immediately understood the other person's intention, and her expression turned cold. Without reaching out to take the booklet, she replied flatly, "There's nothing I like." "Mr. Han, you should look for something you want to bid on yourself." Her response was extremely perfunctory, not even bothering to find an excuse. Seeing t

Chapter 1424: Falling into the Trap

Gemma Bessemer's expression froze.The atmosphere between the two instantly plummeted to an icy low.But she said nothing, only giving Han Xiao a look of unclear meaning before turning and leaving first.Was this guy trying to intimidate her?As Gemma Bessemer walked out, she sneered inwardly.Did he really think she had no way to deal with him?Anyway, that 40 million bracelet, throwing it away didn't cost her a single penny.It was just that such behavior from the other party was truly annoying.Gemma Bessemer quickened her pace, and in a blink, her figure disappeared from sight.Han Xiao, seeing this, merely raised an eyebrow, a smile of ambiguous meaning playing on his lips.He then quickly followed after her.What neither of them noticed was, in a corner backstage, a tall figure was watching their every move.On Gemma Bessemer's side, she did not exchange a single word with Han Xiao on the way back.They maintained a silent standoff.Upon arriving at the hotel, she w

Chapter 1425: Misfortune

The people in front of her were clearly not comparable to the small-time thugs she had encountered before. Gradually, Gemma Bessemer began to feel overwhelmed. After all, no matter how strong she was, she was still just one person, while there were so many enemies, and none of them were pushovers.Just as Gemma Bessemer was contemplating what to do next, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket, drawing some of her attention. At that moment, a sharp pain shot through her wrist. Then, her hand was twisted behind her back, rendering her immobile."Who sent you?""I don't care how much money that person gave you.""I'll give you ten times that amount."Gemma Bessemer did not panic. She quickly calmed down and began negotiating calmly. Unfortunately, none of the men in front of her paid any attention to her. Instead, someone took the phone out of her pocket. Gemma Bessemer's sharp eyes caught the name on the screen: Fan Zhexiong! Her heart skipped a beat, but she could do nothing as the

Chapter 1426: Personal Vendetta

"Don't be afraid.""We will definitely get out of here.""I will protect you."Han Xiao's expression was extremely serious, as if he were making an important vow.Even though he looked utterly disheveled at the moment.Unfortunately, Gemma Bessemer wasn't paying much attention to him.She responded indifferently, her mind preoccupied with various thoughts.She thought about the call from Fan Zhexiu last night, inviting her out.He must have been very worried when she didn't show up, she mused.She wondered what had happened afterward.And what about her father and brothers?If they knew she had been taken to this place, they would surely find a way to rescue her.But she couldn't figure out the kidnappers' motives.If it was for money, that would be one thing.But if this kidnapping involved personal vendettas, then things would be much worse.Gemma Bessemer never hesitated to consider the worst-case scenario.After all, both the Xia family and the Yan family had made m

Chapter 1427: There Is Always a Way Out of Despair

Gemma Bessemer's whole body jolted, her gaze on Han Xiao becoming increasingly sharp.Perhaps it was because she had consumed various kinds of pills in the past. Her body had developed a certain level of resistance to this kind of aphrodisiac. The substance that had been forced into her mouth, although initially affecting her, gradually lost its potency as time passed. If not for this, she would have knocked Han Xiao out the moment the ropes binding her were cut, rather than simply avoiding him from a distance. But it wasn't too late to knock him out now.Feeling the strength slowly returning to her body, Gemma Bessemer's panicked heart began to calm down. "Calm down," she said, frowning at the bloodshot eyes of Han Xiao, who was already tense and on high alert.Han Xiao, however, was breathing heavily, sweat beading on his forehead, his eyes showing no clarity. Yet, he seemed to hear her words, gritting his teeth and responding, "I... I can't hold back anymore.""Anan, Anan," he m

Chapter 1428: Exploration

For a few seconds, Gemma Bessemer felt as if the air around her had come to a standstill. She froze in place, mid-step, not daring to move. Only her dark, gleaming eyes darted about, warily watching the door nearby. If anyone came out, she would immediately turn and run.Fortunately, after nearly a minute, nothing happened. The knot in Gemma Bessemer's heart slowly loosened. Perhaps it was the sound of the waves crashing, or maybe the voices of their conversation, but no one seemed to notice the small noises she had made. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.Gemma Bessemer pressed her lips together, making her footsteps as light as possible. Even so, by the time she reached the end of the stairs, cold sweat was pouring down her forehead like rain. She wiped it away, not caring about her own condition, and quickly surveyed her surroundings. She quickly determined that this was a cargo ship, which meant there were few people on board. It was even possible that, aside from her and

Chapter 1429: The Reason

"An'an!""An'an!"Han Xiao held her tightly, calling her name urgently. His voice was on the verge of breaking, revealing just how deeply shaken he was by An'an's injury. But An'an wasn't in much better shape. It had been so long since she had been hurt. Even though it was just a cut on her arm, the excruciating pain made it hard for her to maintain her consciousness. She kept sucking in cold air, her face as pale as a sheet. How could she possibly hear Han Xiao clearly?The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie. The masked men who had been attacking them were now frozen, not daring to move, especially when they met Han Xiao's fierce gaze. They trembled, almost dropping their weapons. Then, they watched helplessly as Han Xiao scooped up An'an and quickly left, too afraid to stop him.Perhaps due to the intense pain, An'an eventually passed out, but the blood from her wound continued to flow freely. After what felt like an eternity, she regained some awareness, feeling someone bandaging

Chapter 1430: The Vengeance for a Father's Murder

Gemma Bessemer, however, seemed oblivious to the series of emotions flickering across Han Xiao's face. Without even lifting her eyelids, she responded lightly, "What other reason do you hope for?" In a situation where she already had a lover, she would not give any illusions to the opposite sex. Not to mention at this very moment, after she had learned what she knew... The atmosphere between them grew increasingly tense because of her counter-question. Yet, Han Xiao's gaze remained fixed on Gemma Bessemer, as if he was trying to bore a hole through her. His expression shifted from initial disbelief to gloominess in less than a minute. Just as he opened his mouth, about to say something, a strange sound suddenly caught his ear. Han Xiao's expression froze, and a glint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Finally, he sprang up from the ground and muttered, "Rest well." "I need to go out for a bit." Without waiting for Gemma Bessemer's response, he pulled open the wooden door nearby and l
