Chapter 596: Don't be impatient, conspire
"Then please take care of her." Leon said to Duke.
"Of course." Duke smiled heartily, "We're good brothers." βοΌ
With that, he pulled Elena into the next room.
Li Ang watched them leave, and there was a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't hate this Mr. Duke.
Elena was dragged into the room by Duke, and as soon as the door closed, she immediately broke free from his confinement and angrily asked, "Bastard, what the hell do you want to do?!" β
Duke leaned against the wall and looked at her with amusement, "Don't be angry, I'm just kidding." Do you know? My biggest hobby is to play tricks on people, especially girls, haha......"
"Shut up!" Elena roared angrily, "Please disappear from my face immediately!" β
Duke sighed and said, "Don't do that. Look at you, how beautiful and moving, it's a work of art, I really want to kiss you. β
He approached slowly, reached out and stroked her tender cheeks, gazing deeply into her misty eyes and flushed face, with a frenzied glint in his eyes, and he murmured, "I wish I ...... You can be my bride......"
Elena's eyes widened in horror.
"Bang bang," there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of Willy, the butler, "Mr. Duke." β
"Well, right away."
Duke retracted his smile and let go of Elena.
Elena took a step back and looked at him waryly.
Duke straightened the hem of his shirt, raised his hand to signal her to be calm, and walked to the door.
"Mr. Wiley, what's the matter?"
Willy's voice sounded anxious, "Mr. Duke, I have found out that the young lady is Hekani's sister, and she dances here tonight because an important guest has arrived. Now that she was gone, Lady Hekani was so angry that she had sent someone to look for her. β
"What?" Duke was stunned, then laughed again, patting his forehead and laughing at himself, "I actually forgot about this." Damn it! β
"So, Mr. Duke, go and help find someone."
"Okay, no problem. I'll look for it right away. Duke said, walking outside.
Before leaving, he looked at Elena and said with a smile, "I'll be back soon." β
Elena clenched her skirt and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need you to save my life, thank you." β
"Huh." Duke walked away.
Elena stood in stride, and she suddenly felt that this banquet had become extraordinarily ironic.
This time, Duke didn't come back, and he seemed to have left.
In the banquet hall, the dance music continues, and the lights are brilliant and blurry.
Leon looked at Elena and called her name softly, "Elena? β
"Huh?" Elena suddenly came back to her senses, shook her head in a panic, and explained, "I'm sorry, I'm fine......"
"What's wrong with you?" Leon looked at her worriedly, "If you're not feeling well, you must tell me." β
Elena shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's okay. β
She didn't dare to let him discover his emotions, and nodded hurriedly at him: "I'm going back to the room to prepare a dress, so I'll take my leave first." β
With that, she turned and ran away.
Leon looked at her back and frowned secretly.
in the room.
Duke sat in the sofa chair, crossed his legs, and hummed a song nonchalantly, not focusing on the music at all.
He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of the red liquid.
"Mr. Duke." Willy's voice suddenly rang out.
He turned his head and looked at Willy.
Willy bowed respectfully and said, "A servant has just come to tell you that the person you want has been found." β
"That's good." Duke hooked his lips and smiled, "Bring her over to me." β
"Yes, Mr. Duke." Willie bowed his head.
A short time later, a young woman walked in, she was wearing a long white dress, her long hair was draped over her chest, and her delicate and beautiful facial features were very similar to those in the painting.
"Hello, my name is Hermione. August. She smiled at Duke.
Duke stared at her, a wicked smile on his lips, and said, "You're Hekani's sister?" β
"How do you know?" Hermione asked rhetorically, surprise flashing in her eyes, "Do you know my sister?" β
Duke shook his glass and smiled, "Guess what?" β
Hermione shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't like riddles. What exactly do you want to do? β
"You don't have to be afraid, you don't have to run away." Duke put his glass on the coffee table, "Come with me." β
Hermione asked warily, "Why should I trust you?" β
"You can not believe me, but, before long, you will beg me to take you away."
"What do you mean by that?" Hermione asked, confused.
"You'll know when you get there." Duke said, "Anyway, you can only choose to come with me." β
As he spoke, he grabbed Hermione's wrist and pulled her out.
β¦β¦
Duke leaves the manor with Hermione and drives down the road.
Inside the carriage, Hermione kept her face strained and refused to say a word.
"Don't you wonder why I'm taking you away?" Duke asked with a smile.
Hermione glanced at him and complained coldly, "You are so mysterious, there must be a conspiracy." β
Duke shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's Roland's sister, and she's pretty smart." β
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Less nonsense." β
"Hahaha, you're so straightforward." Duke smiled, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." β
Hearing this, Hermione pursed her lips: "You think this is filming." Who scarce your guarantees. β
Duke laughed and said no more.
The car turned into the downtown area and gradually stopped.
"Here we are." Duke said, pushing the car door and getting out of the car, taking her by the hand and taking her into a mansion.
"Where is this?" Hermione looked around, confused.
Duke smiled lightly and said, "A friend's residence." β
Hermione frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "What the hell are you doing?" β
Duke smiled but didn't say a word.
"Hey, let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me, your fiancΓ©e will definitely not let you go." Hermione warned.
Duke shrugged his shoulders: "You still pray, your sister won't find out." β
As he spoke, he led Hermione to a carved wooden door and slammed it twice.
After a while, the door opened, and a slender man appeared in front of them. He wears gold-rimmed glasses, his skin is slightly dark, but his facial features are handsome and beautiful, and he has a tall figure.
"He-" The man looked at them in surprise, "Duke, you're ......"
"Shh Duke silenced him, pointed to Hermione beside him, and whispered, "This is my little pet, her name is Hermione. August. β
Hermione's eyes widened, shocked and hostile at the same time. She glared at Duke and shook off his arm.
The man showed a suddenly realized expression and said ambiguously, "Oh...... You eloped with her? You bastard, you are so despicable and shameless! β
