The man wasn't scared off by Chiyoko's anger. He had been eagerly waiting for her to leave the Smith Family estate, to leave Maxwell's line of sight and have the chance to get close to her. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity. After apologizing, two of the men quickly approached and forcibly grabbed Chiyoko's arms, taking her to the car.
The car slid onto the road and headed towards the Modern Hotel at the fastest speed. Chiyoko was both anxious and angry, constantly cursing. The men executing the mission had excellent psychological resilience, completely unaffected by her cursing as if they were wooden puppets.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Chiyoko was taken to a presidential suite. There, she saw Philip, whom she hadn't seen in over a year, and she curled her lips into an indifferent smile, mocking him, "Mr. Philip, what mysterious game are you playing now? Why did you bring me here?"
Philip smiled slightly, trying to please her, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Chiyoko. I hope they didn't hurt you. Because I couldn't show myself in front of Maxwell, I had no choice but to have you brought here."
"What's the matter? Just say it quickly, I want to go back," Chiyoko said irritably. She didn't come here to listen to his polite words. In her heart, she still had faint expectations and speculations about what Maxwell was doing right now. Was he with Flora? Would he come looking for her after she disappeared? She hoped he would.
Philip smiled calmly and said, "Miss Chiyoko, you probably don't know yet. Maxwell once promised to help the chairman recover the necklace. Last month, he found the necklace, but... " Philip smiled slyly, his face showing a smirk of schadenfreude. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "But he tampered with the necklace and took possession of the most important half..."
"Maxwell is not that kind of person!" Chiyoko interjected in surprise, arguing, "Maxwell is a man of integrity. He would never do something like this!" She believed in him, always had.
Philip didn't refute her words and spoke in a ghostly voice, "As a result, Maxwell has offended the chairman, and the chairman has decided to have him assassinated because... no one can have any interest in the necklace, otherwise... they will die!"
Chiyoko was shocked, staring at him in disbelief, and asked in horror, "Has Uncle gone mad? He wants to kill Maxwell?"
Philip chuckled, "The chairman is not mad. This is the rule. Anyone with enough audacity to mingle in the underworld should understand the rule. But Maxwell, knowing the consequences, deliberately violated it!!" Philip locked his gaze on the beautiful Miss Chiyoko, his eyes gleaming with a peculiar light, greatly satisfied with Itou Tokugawa's order to kill Maxwell.
"But Maxwell is my fiancé, and Uncle knows that!" Chiyoko exclaimed. It was Itou Tokugawa who personally arranged her marriage to Maxwell. Now he was ordering Maxwell's death? The thought of the danger Maxwell was facing made Chiyoko tremble with worry. She didn't want it! She didn't want anything to happen to Maxwell!
"Maxwell must die. You know the chairman's temperament. He wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone," Philip approached Chiyoko and examined her pale face. "So, the chairman has also instructed me to bring you back to Japan, Miss Chiyoko. Do you understand why I came looking for you today? I hope you will cooperate."
"No! I'm not going back!" Chiyoko shook her head defiantly. "I won't leave, and I absolutely won't allow you to harm Maxwell. I will personally call Uncle and make him rescind the order!"
Although she said this, Chiyoko knew deep down that Itou Tokugawa wouldn't change his plans because of her. She was terrified, scared out of her mind! Why did it have to be like this? Maxwell was the man she loved the most in her entire life!
"Miss Chiyoko, I can't explain this to the chairman if you behave this way." Philip looked troubled, his eyes fixed on her bright, shining eyes, gradually moving downwards, sliding to her ample chest.
"You will find a way." Chiyoko chuckled softly, feeling his intense gaze roaming over her, a feeling of disgust rising in her chest, even his gaze felt like it was sullying her body!
"Miss Chiyoko, if I forcibly bring you back, what will you do?" Philip stepped forward again, one hand wrapping around her waist, pulling her closer to him. His breath brushed against her face, making her feel nauseous as if she wanted to hold onto the toilet and vomit.
But she didn't push him away, enduring the nauseating feeling, and stared at him coldly, saying "I'll die. If you do so, I'll kill myself!"
"You're so beautiful, it would be a shame to see you die. No one would bear to let that happen!" Philip murmured ambiguously in her ear, then planted his lips on her neck, kissing her fiercely. The long-awaited delicacy was within reach, and his heart raced erratically!
His uneasy hand covered her ample bosom, trembling as it caressed. Chiyoko gasped, not expecting him to be so audacious. It seemed that he had lost his sanity, enchanted by her.
"Do you know that by doing this, with just one phone call back to Japan, you could potentially end up dead and full of holes?" Chiyoko slightly tilted her head, not refusing his advances, but instead responding to his kisses, her actions not matching her words.
Philip hesitated, his lips and hands that were roaming on her body suddenly froze in place. However, he could feel that she was willing. As he kissed her, he said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Except for not killing Maxwell, I can do anything else!" The desire made him unable to resist the urge to have sex with her, disregarding whatever it was!
"Are you willing to help with any favor?" Chiyoko confirmed.
Philip nodded, "Of course!"
