Running Away

She felt that her decision to return to the mainland was even more correct. She had no time to fight for favor with this woman. Wasn’t it good to make money?

Vivian looked down at her stomach again, feeling a great sense of responsibility. However, if she could escape from such an environment and carefully guide these two genius children, she believed that they could escape the tragic fate in the book!

Vivian jogged to the main road to hail a taxi and went straight to the harbor hotel to book the best room. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry while carrying a large amount of money.

The harbor was located on the coast of the best port, Victoria. Vivian was sitting on a big bed in the hotel, enjoying the sea view through the floor-to-ceiling window.

When she saw the bag on the bedside table, she suddenly thought of something. She grabbed the bag and poured all the jewelry on the bed.

She reached out and touched a jade bangle that was bright green in color. Her fingers immediately felt a burning heat!

Vivian reached out to touch another sapphire earring that was not bright enough and had some impurities. Sure enough, she only felt a warm feeling. This was a golden finger from heaven!

“I’m rich and have a cheat. If I’m not the winner, I’m at least the runner-up.” Vivian touched the jewelry with a smile, but she still decided to try it out in a jewelry store outside. If it was really so amazing, she would ask around about the stone gambling place in Hong Kong City to practice!

After putting the things in the safe, Vivian left the hotel and took a taxi to the largest jewelry shop in Harbor City.

Vivian’s clothes were simple, but they were all the latest designs from major brands. Added to the sapphire earrings she was wearing, her appearance was worth more than 300.000 Yuan.

In the 1990s, anyone who wore clothes in this price range would definitely be considered a big customer of the jewelry shop. Even the manager personally will come forward to serve them.

Vivian casually touched a few pieces of jewelry and jadeite at different prices. The higher the price, the hotter it felt. Vivian pursed her lips, trying to suppress the joy in her heart. Benedict, who was standing beside her, saw that Vivian was picking more and more expensive pieces of jewelry, and his heart was full of joy. He served her even better.

“I don’t like any of these jade necklaces. I want to cut out a piece of Jade myself.” Vivian said calmly.

Benedict’s expression changed, and he asked, “You want to?”

Vivian smiled. “I had a meal with one of your shareholders before. I heard that you have stone gambling here, so I wanted to try my luck.”

This was a listed jewelry company, and there were many shareholders. Vivian deliberately used this hard-to-verify reason to start the topic.

Benedict’s smile grew even wider. “You’re very welcome! We have a batch of goods coming at 10 a.m. tomorrow. You can come and take a look if you’re interested. Young Miss, my name is Benedict. How should I address you?”

“My name is Vivian. I’ll come back tomorrow morning then.”

Vivian and Benedict left the jewelry shop after their meeting. She was strolling in a good mood when she was suddenly pulled into an alley. Her mouth was covered, and a dagger was pressed against her chin.

“Don’t make a sound! Otherwise, I’ll stab you to death!”

Vivian’s eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her. He was wearing a peaked cap and had the zipper of his trench coat up to the tip of his nose. She didn’t even dare to breathe and could only blink her eyes.

“Bring me to the nearest high-end place. If I’m discovered, I’ll kill you first! Did you hear that?” The man deliberately lowered his voice and said fiercely into Vivian’s ear!

As soon as she finished speaking, Vivian felt the dagger on her neck getting closer. She quickly whispered, “I heard you, I heard you! Don’t get too excited.”

“You’re from the mainland?” The man asked after being stunned for a moment.

Vivian had spoken in her native language out of nervousness. After hearing the man’s question, she nodded carefully.

She guessed that this man came from the mainland and hoped that he would not take her life on account of the fact that they were from the same hometown.

The man took off his trench coat and put it on the other side. The cool guy in the black trench coat immediately turned into a casual and sunny boy in a checkered shirt. He took out the inner insoles from his shoes and threw them into the trash can.

He quickly put his peaked cap into Vivian’s handbag, took out a pair of black sunglasses from her pocket, and put the dagger on Vivian’s waist. “As long as you let me escape safely, I won’t hurt you. Let’s go!”

Vivian pretended to be calm and walked out of the alley with the man.

“Did you see a man in a cap and a black trench coat?” At the entrance of the alley, there were a few muscular tattooed-armed men in black t-shirts asking people questions.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, one of them even stared in their direction a few times as if he was thinking about something.

The man’s wrist moved slightly, and Vivian seemed to feel the cold and sharp dagger through the clothes. Her heart beat faster, and she tried to soften her voice as much as possible. “Dear, my feet are tired from walking. I want to go to the hotel’s coffee shop and rest for a while.”

The man immediately looked at Vivian with a doting expression and said softly, “Alright, whatever you say, Baby.” Then, he whispered into Vivian’s ear like a lover, “If you want to be safe, you’d better not play any tricks.”

Vivian’s face stiffened, then she put on a fake smile and whispered, “Big Brother, don’t use a person you doubt, and don’t doubt the person you use.”

The two of them entered the hotel with natural expressions.
