Chapter 371
\nWolf President Hooks Up novel Chapter 371<\/p>\n
He even hated to get close to her, let alone sleep with her.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Therefore, Marina could only stand at a distance, pretending to be doing something and secretly looking at Emmett on the other side of the balcony.<\/p>\n
He was dressed in a casual way but gave the impression of being serious, as if he was completely intent on his work.<\/p>\n
How ironic it was!<\/p>\n
This was their “sweet life” after the engagement!<\/p>\n
Others might think that they were now literally stuck with each other and indulged in sensuality every night.<\/p>\n
Perhaps Atwood also did not expect his son to be so stubborn and never touch such a gorgeous woman as her.<\/p>\n
Marina took a causal sip of the coffee that the servant served.<\/p>\n
So bitter!<\/p>\n
But she felt more bitterness in her heart for having no one to talk to.<\/p>\n
That was when Emmett’s phone rang.<\/p>\n
The sound broke the silence.<\/p>\n
There hadn’t been many calls these days. Who would dare to disturb him right now?<\/p>\n
Marina drank the coffee slowly, casting a glance at Emmett who was working in the sun from time to time.<\/p>\n
He frowned at first. It seemed that the call had interrupted his train of thought.<\/p>\n
Emmett found his phone and glanced at it.<\/p>\n
It didn’t feel right!<\/p>\n
Emmett became nervous immediately!<\/p>\n
He straightened his broad back up subconsciously.<\/p>\n
Marina was surprised to see him like this.<\/p>\n
What happened?<\/p>\n
Who called him? Why would this man, who was calm at all times, have this reaction?<\/p>\n
Emmett knew that the call was from Iceland with a look. Why would they call? Something bad was happening?<\/p>\n
He closed the laptop and answered the phone.<\/p>\n
“It’s me. What’s wrong?”<\/p>\n
Emmett frowned.<\/p>\n
For some reason, his heart raced when he asked this.<\/p>\n
He had a bad feeling….<\/p>\n
“Young master! Something happened!”<\/p>\n
The sound of the wind, along with the man’s sniffs, could be heard over the phone.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Emmett’s breathing suddenly became fast. He sat up straight and raised his voice.<\/p>\n
“Don’t panic, and tell me what’s going on!”<\/p>\n
The man immediately started crying,<\/p>\n
“Young master, we are stupid! We failed to do what you told us to do. We are to blame and you can just punish us….”<\/p>\n
Emmett was anxious to the extreme. He shouted in anger,<\/p>\n
“Get to the point! Cut the crap! What exactly happened?”<\/p>\n
“Young master … Ms. Jones … was killed….”<\/p>\n
“What!”<\/p>\n
Emmett frowned and cried out in alarm. This was the first time that his voice had been so high-pitched that it didn’t sound like him as all.<\/p>\n
He sat up quickly and jumped to the ground!<\/p>\n
His hands were shaking badly.<\/p>\n
Emmett roared, “Tell me what exactly is going on!”<\/p>\n
“Someone attempted to kill Ms. Jones. She was shot and fell off a high cliff.”<\/p>\n
“Go search for her right now! You must find her! I will get there as soon as possible! Let me tell you, if you fail to find her, you all have to die!”<\/p>\n
Emmett roared crazily and kept smashing his fists down on the table.<\/p>\n
Marina, who was standing over there, was so shocked that several drops of coffee spilt on her clothes.<\/p>\n
Emmett hung up and stood still in a daze.<\/p>\n
The smart and brave man who had never feared anything, for the first time in his life, was at a loss for what to do.<\/p>\n
Hearing that Elaine got shot and fell off the cliff, he broke down.<\/p>\n
For a moment, he was unable to think of anything!<\/p>\n
He only had Elaine in his mind right now, who was grinning like a little girl with narrowed eyes. And a buzzing-noise was in his ears.<\/p>\n
Elaine was … shot?<\/p>\n
Was she bleeding?<\/p>\n
Falling off a cliff?<\/p>\n
Was she in great pain?<\/p>\n
He couldn’t think more about it!<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
He dreaded to think how painful his beautiful girl would feel if she bled profusely after the fall!<\/p>\n
His heart ached at the very thought of it!<\/p>\n
His body began to tremble out of control.<\/p>\n
His face was frighteningly pale.<\/p>\n
Emmett held his phone tightly, bit his finger, and stood there for a minute.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, he called Kayden in panic. When he spoke, his voice was thick with sadness.<\/p>\n
“Kayden, send all the people we have to surround Iceland. Someone wants to kill Elaine and she is missing now. We have to find her….”<\/p>\n
“What!”<\/p>\n
Emmett sat in a comfortable seat motionless. He didn’t even blink, just like a rock.<\/p>\n
After a long time, he made a move. With a blink, tears flowed from his eyes.<\/p>\n
With his shoulders shaking, he closed his eyes and placed one hand on his forehead. Then he leaned his head against the back of the seat and shed tears quietly.<\/p>\n
He had never thought that the girl he had always cherished would leave him so early.<\/p>\n
She was as soft as cream.<\/p>\n
She always smiled innocently with his protection.<\/p>\n
He once considered making her pure and innocent forever. In this case, when she grew old, she should be a very cute old lady….<\/p>\n
But now…<\/p>\n
How could such a timid girl face things like this?<\/p>\n
Would she feel pain?<\/p>\n
Would she cry?<\/p>\n
Would she be scared?<\/p>\n
The more Emmett thought about it, the more he was going to fall apart.<\/p>\n
He clenched his fists, opened his teary eyes and gave the seat in front of him a punch.<\/p>\n
He would definitely get back at whoever hurt his woman like this!<\/p>\n
Actually, after hanging up, Kayden also shed tears silently with his head down.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
He used to hate Elaine the most.<\/p>\n
She was happy all the time, just like a stupid girl. She was also a troublemaker. Anything related to her would make trouble for him.<\/p>\n
But … as time went by…<\/p>\n
Kayden actually started to like her.<\/p>\n
He treated her as his sister and loved her dearly even when she was clumsy and innocent.<\/p>\n
Now Elaine probably had died. According to the news from Iceland, not only was she shot, but she fell off a high cliff….<\/p>\n
The thought that he could no longer see that troublemaker broke Kayden’s heart.<\/p>\n
His tears couldn’t stop.<\/p>\n
With the sound of beeping, Kayden wiped his nose quickly and looked down at the tablet in his hand.<\/p>\n
It received a file. He clicked and a video appeared.<\/p>\n
“Master Smith, this is where Ms. Jones fell. Looking down from here, it is about tens of meters high and there are many rocks below. Next, I will send you photos of this place taken from multiple angles.”<\/p>\n
He was one of the four men, speaking in a trembling voice. His eyes were bloodshot, red and swollen.<\/p>\n
Next, the video showed the high cliff.<\/p>\n
Kayden was stunned for a moment. He quickly ran to the back with the tablet and handed it to Emmett.<\/p>\n
“Master Smith! Here is the video from Iceland!”<\/p>\n
Emmett’s eyes snapped open!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1771","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
