Chapter16 She Was Actually Neglected
But the strange feeling that flashed through Caius's mind was immediately dismissed as a delusion caused by his neurological disorder.
How could he care about a mistress meant for entertainment?
He moved his lips and said condescendingly, "Oh, fine. I admit I didn't want you to die. After all, you're the most convenient toy I've had lately, and I haven't fucked you enough yet. I have no interest in fucking a corpse."
Caius's words were too graphic!
Linnea shuddered. Any gratitude that had welled up vanished completely.
But she still had to act moved. She hugged his entire leg. "Regardless, Caius, I'm truly grateful to you. Thank you for saving me from the brink of death again."
Caius froze slightly.
Then he quickly looked away.
"Think whatever you want. Now, let go of your dirty hands."
Linnea smiled and released him, raising both hands in surrender.
She showed an innocent smile, as if she really saw Caius as some generous and kind good man.
Caius's lips twitched silently.
This cunning little cat Linnea, did she really think that with just these coquettish tricks, she could truly win his favor?
The next second, under Linnea's hopeful gaze—expecting him to lose control and carry her back to her apartment to fuck her for three days and nights—he turned away and left without looking back.
Linnea froze for a moment, instinctively trying to get up and chase him, but her legs were numb. She could only sit there and shout, "Caius! Where are you going!"
"I'm going on a business trip for half a month."
"For this half month, I order you not to disturb me."
"What?"
Linnea was completely stunned. "Did I upset you somehow, Caius? You haven't even found out who framed me!"
"That's none of your concern."
Seeing Caius was still leaving, Linnea panicked. "Caius, I'm just an ordinary girl. How would I provoke something this serious? It must be because you've made too many enemies, and it's affecting me!"
"So what? If you're my mistress and don't even have the awareness to face danger, then pack your bags and get out of the apartment I gave you."
"Caius!"
Linnea was so angry she wanted to scream. Caius was completely unreasonable!
But this didn't make Caius change his mind.
She stared at Caius's cold retreating figure, her conviction that Caius was impossible to conquer growing stronger!
...
Half a month later.
Linnea lay on the big bed in her apartment, tearing off another page of the calendar.
Caius really hadn't contacted her for half a month!
Linnea tried everything to bother Caius, but whether she approached Caius's subordinates or gathered the courage to text and call him, he never responded.
During this time, even when she went to family doctor Leo for a routine checkup and asked about Caius, Leo looked helpless. "Miss Linnea, before Mr. Caius left, he emphasized to everyone not to reveal his whereabouts to anyone."
"Why don't you apologize to Caius and soften up a bit?"
Linnea wailed on the spot. "What does this have to do with me! I didn't upset him at all!"
Caius was the one acting crazy, going to great lengths to save her, then immediately giving her the cold shoulder.
She'd actually been neglected for half a month!
The more Linnea thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She tossed aside the calendar and picked up her phone. Looking at the pitiful balance, she grew even more distressed to the point of losing her appetite.
Another thing troubling her: the money she'd saved over these years had recently been exchanged for some of her mother's belongings.
But many of her mother's possessions were still scattered out there. She needed more money to reclaim them.
And the salary from her position as executive assistant wasn't enough to support her revenge plan.
She had to earn more money.
Linnea had no choice but to open the community where she usually found side jobs. After filtering for a long time, she finally clicked on a certain job posting.
Yacht party server recruitment.
...
"Fail one more time, and you'll go back to the nightclub to be a stripper!"
Jax's angry scolding echoed in Amy's ears.
Half a month ago, when Amy told him about the woman who seriously threatened her undercover work, Jax didn't take it seriously.
He casually allocated some of his allowance and had his subordinates hire a mediocre kidnapping team. "Do I need to waste that much effort on this kind of woman? Just kill her."
The result was obvious.
Amy's plan failed completely.
Not only did Caius's subordinates easily resolve the crisis, they tracked them for a long time.
Jax's recent work projects all hit setbacks, and he took all his anger out on Amy.
Amy returned to her apartment, staring at the photos of Linnea the private investigator had sent, grinding her teeth in hatred.
"Linnea... you cheap stripper, I will never let you go!"
Her face contorted, her whole body trembling as she tore the photos to shreds.
She looked at each one and tore it up in rage.
Until...
She saw the photo of Linnea boarding a yacht.
This yacht... didn't it provide sexual services?
Ha, Linnea was going to work as a sex worker?
Amy's face filled with triumphant confidence again.
She called Jax. Before he could impatiently insult her, she suppressed her excitement and told him, "I've thought of a way to successfully bring her down!"
"That bitch is going to work as a sex worker on a yacht. I'll go take slutty photos of her seducing guests!"
"Once Caius finds out Linnea is working as a sex worker, he absolutely won't tolerate a filthy whore staying by his side!"
