Chapter 423 Captivity
Chapter 423 Captivity
Juan's purpose is also very clear. That is, to let Leo send someone to capture Claire, and Juan can set up a trap first, and he just waits for Leo to come and bite the hook.
This is not the most horrible thing. The most horrible thing is that the three known messages do not necessarily have real news among them. It is likely that all three are fake. This is not difficult for Juan.
Juan doesn’t want to play a game with Leo. it's better to say that Juan invites Leo to a gamble.
And this gamble is absolutely unfair.
Will Leo participate?
Luke also looks nervously at Leo. He persuades, “Howard, I think it's better not to believe this news that are deliberately released. Juan is not so stupid as to leak Bennett's location.”
Leo smiles bitterly, “Since you know this information can be fake, you shouldn't have brought this news to me. Now that I know it, it is impossible for me to ignore its existence.”
Luke only sighs again. He knows that once Leo decides, it would be impossible to change him. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Juan wants to gamble. If I am not in, I would have already lost. I am the man of Bennett. I cannot lose.”
Leo seems to be intrigued, which makes Luke think his decision is now dangerous.
Luke would like to say that this is a must-lose gamble, but he also knows that Leo knows this better than he does
“So, what do you want to do?” Luke looks expectantly at Leo, hoping he could suddenly come up with an unexpected strategy.
But Leo sneers, “Send our subordinate to all three places.”
Reminding of the recent attack, Luke reminds Howard, “It is necessary to investigate before dispatching personnel, otherwise our subordinate will die for nothing.”
Leo nods tiredly.
...
There is a villa on the outskirts of the city, but it seems a bit wrong to call it a villa, because no matter how it looks from the retro walls or the towering spires, it is a castle.
This castle is a private property of Juan, a magnificent place where many women dream of living in. But for Claire, this is nothing more than a stern prison. Even its size and depth make the prison look desolate and lonely.
The bed which is designed according to the medieval style is about the size of two ordinary beds. The thin golden bed tent envelops this huge bed. Above the bed, the crystal lamp emits soft and light.
Claire is lying on the bed with her black hair spreading like a gloomy cloud on the soft quilt.
She keeps blinking her eyes, and stretches out her hands as if trying to catch the light, but the result must be empty.
She puts down her hands and sits by the bed, and then falls to the bed with her eyes covered angrily.
Repeating these boring actions, Claire feels like she is dying little by little.
Juan is also in the castle, and these days he will deliver meals and talks to Claire. But Claire never responds to him.
Even Claire is extremely boring, she doesn't want to say a word to Juan. How will you deal with a person who imprisons yourself?
When Claire is cursing Juan in her heart, the door is suddenly opened, and Juan walks in expressionlessly, and doesn’t smile until he comes to Claire.
But Claire doesn’t think it is a kind smile, because Claire feels that only when people admires a vase of their own, they will use that look.
Maybe Claire is wrong, but all in all, the more Claire sees Juan the more uncomfortable she gets.
“Bennett, aren't you bored these days?”
Juan sits beside the bed, too, but he doesn’t touch Claire.
Claire closes her eyes, and closes her ears in her mind, as if Juan does not exist.
Getting no reply after a long time, Juan is used to it, but says quietly, “You don't want to stay here forever, right? How about letting you out?”
Bennett, like a powerless robot, is suddenly powered on, and suddenly sits up from the bed, staring at Juan with her eyes wide open. She wants to talk, but she thinks something is wrong, and she looks at Juan in a deliberate way.
Juan tries so hard to imprison Claire. How could he easily let her go? There must be another conspiracy, so Claire is determined to keep silent.
Juan still looks cold, and he calmly says, “I hope you will accompany me to a party tomorrow.”
Claire snorts, showing her attitude.
Juan softly touches her shoulder. “I don't want to threaten you, but don't force me to kidnap Conan again.”
Claire realizes Juan's hypocrisy more and more. This is completely a threat, but he still acts as if he is the one who is threatened. That is almost shameless.
Claire snores angrily, and she exclaims, “I have no obligation to travel with you, and I have kept my promise to stay with you ...”
As soon as Claire has spoken, she knows that she has said something wrong and regrets it.
Juan smiles and says, “Yes, you have to stay with me. I'm going to a party. It's against the rules if you stay here.”
Claire is full of powerless and hatred, and she can only say, “No, Conan is protected by Howard. Do you think you can kidnap him again? And no one knows Conan's mind better than you.”
Juan looks at Claire sympathetically, and then says, “You don't seem to understand the situation well yet, don't you know that Leo can’t even take care of himself?”
“Yeah, how could you know that the loser Leo is being fooled around by me all day ... huh, huh...”
When Juan talks about Leo, his eyes quickly reveals his evilness.
Claire certainly doesn’t know what happened to Leo, but she gets anxious when she hears that Howard is fooled by Juan, and wonders if Juan is lying to her.
Juan doesn’t want to explain any more, but just stands up and walks out the door, leaving some words that Claire can’t refuse.
“I'll come back to you tomorrow. You’d better get prepared, at least you have to consider the safety of Conan.”
Claire smashes everything that could be smashes on the bed to the door where Juan's figure disappears, then she scratches her head hysterically.
Then she realizes that she has to agree to Juan's merciless request. However, Claire is also a person who is good at comforting herself, thinking that it is okay to go out and take a walk. As for the rumors, Leo and Conan won’t care them as long as they trust her. By the way, she might also find out information about Leo. She still thinks what Juan tell her is a lie.
