She knows that he is not a good man, but not that he is so dirty.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She glares at the man fiercely. Claire is upset. She knows that Leo would not save her, but now, what should she do?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Escape? !   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire starts to look around and think about the plan.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But the man seems to understand what Claire is thinking, so he laughs and says, &#8220;Don&#8217;t think about running away. There are my men all around here. Don&#8217;t be paranoid!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire is overwhelmed.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The fat man stares at Claire and says sarcastically, &#8220;But I feel sorry for you. As the wife of Leo, don&#8217;t you feel sad that Leo doesn&#8217;t come to save you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   His tone is very schadenfreude, after all, this kind of relationship of a couple is rare.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire, though aware of the thoughts of Leo, listens to his words and feels still a little sad.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Frowning, Claire doesn&#8217;t answer and sits down in her chair.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But, after a while, Claire suddenly feels something wrong, looks up, and suddenly sees the man looking at her with a very creepy look.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You&#8230;&#8221; Claire feels a little nervous.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The fat man says, &#8220;Well, Claire, I do feel sorry for you, but when I look at you so closely, I find that you are really in good shape. You have a sexy body&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He begins to walk up and looks at Claire Bennett&#8217;s shapely figure. He swallows and says, &#8220;Well, if you please me, you won&#8217;t need to suffer this kind of torture, and I won&#8217;t kill you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You&#8230;you&#8217;re shameless!!!&#8221; Claire is furious, her face turns red and she growls, &#8220;No way! I&#8217;m not going to do such dirty things with you! No way!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to treat you like that, but like you said, Leo Howard isn&#8217;t going to save you. What do you think why I&#8217;m tying you up for? I deserve something from you!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He can&#8217;t wait any more. Then he grabs her chest with one hand and tearing at her dress with the other.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire Bennett is so shocked that she screams and fights back.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Just then, the iron gate of the old factory is kicked open from the outside.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The fat man suddenly gets angry, scolds &#8220;If anyone bothers me, believe it or not, I&#8217;ll kill you all!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And then he looks back and he sees &#8212; Leo Howard!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The fat man immediately gets up, smiles and says, &#8220;It&#8217;s Leo Howard. I know you&#8217;d be here. Or what would I do with such a beautiful lady?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As he says this, Leo chuckles and says sarcastically, &#8220;It looks like I&#8217;m still early to be here before you&#8217;re done.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire is nervous and relieved when she sees Leo Howard. But she just doesn&#8217;t expect, the words he said, is so cruel.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Moreover, when he has finished speaking, he turns away as if to leave.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire grits her teeth as she refuses to bow to him and says, &#8220;Leo Howard! How can you be so cruel! Watching me get bullied?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo Howard, on the other hand, acts as if he hasn&#8217;t heard anything.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire couldn&#8217;t resist, so she softens her voice and whispers, &#8220;Leo Howard, please save me. I am begging you to save me&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as Claire finishes her words, Leo Howard turns around quickly and curls his lips with satisfaction. What he was waiting for is her words like that.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire Bennett is relieved to see him turn around.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then, before she could respond, she sees the fat man fall down in front of her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire suddenly raises her head and sees the pistol Leo is holding in his hand. She is shocked. This man, cold-blooded, looks terrible.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo Howard turns to Claire, ignoring her fears. &#8220;Beg me earlier next time. Or you will suffer a great loss.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   With that, Leo Howard walks up to Claire, takes off his coat and put it on her body. Then he picks her up and turns to leave.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At this moment, for some reason, Claire suddenly finds Leo Howard&#8217;s arms very warm and reassuring.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When they walk out the door, Claire Bennett finds the men lying on the floor, all of whom has been shot in exactly the same way as Leo Howard.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire, who has never seen such a scene before, is nauseated by the strong smell of blood.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire closes her eyes and starts to wonder when she hears someone reporting something to Leo Howard.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   So a curious Claire opens her eyes and peers out of Leo Howard&#8217;s arms to see what is going on.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But suddenly she sees two rows of men in black suits standing in front of her. They are all very serious and respectful to Leo.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The head of the black men says, &#8220;Boss, all the people here have been all annihilate, all the places have been investigated, did not find anyone alive!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Well, just clean it up.&#8221; Leo says and gets into the car with Claire in his arms.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As the driver drives, Leo and Claire sits in the back seat, thinking of the scene just now, Claire involuntarily peeks at Leo Howard.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo Howard wonders, &#8220;Why are you looking at me like that?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Biting her lip, Claire Bennett awkwardly asks, &#8220;Leo Howard, who are you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010\u0010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claire is shocked and furious. &#8220;You are so despicable!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Am I despicable?&#8221; The fat man sneers, and then suddenly begins to glance up and down at Claire, with his lascivious eyes fixed on her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire feels his lascivious eyes and shudders.
