Love's Redemption

Redmption 107

“Mr. Chris, only my words are cruel here. There may be someone who’s even more vicious. If you’re worried, then remove her or…” I looked at Conrad and said, “Shall I appoint someone to watch over her around the clock?

Chris didn’t understand my intentions. “Sure. I can rest assured if Ms. Crown is willing to watch over her safety.”

“That’s impossible. I am not as free as you think.” I immediately hung up.

Jewel spoke up, “Ms. Crown, you don’t need to be so hostile toward me. I can take care of myself.”

“You’re healthy and mentally sound. I believe you can do it, but what if the unthinkable happens?”

Kara pursed her lips tightly so she wouldn’t burst out laughing at my remark

“Mr. Chris has also instructed me to get someone to protect you around the clock. I think watching you 24/7 isn’t necessary. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“After all, when you are sleeping, only the person closest to you can protect you, right?” I said without holding back.

Previously, I felt pity for her when I learned that her husband had passed away, However, now, I believed such a pitiful person must have done something to deserve it.

“Mr. Gildon!” I looked at Conrad and continued, “You and Ms. Massey are new here. You can bring her to explore the park to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. That way, you can also guard her!”

Conrad was stunned. He never expected me to do something like this.” Maddie, you…

“Mr. Gildon,” I interrupted him. “You are the executive director of the company and my higher–up, but here, I am the person in charge. I make all the decisions here.”

This was a special privilege that Chris gave to me. I never used it, but who knew I would be utilizing it when the project was almost over?

Conrad was speechless.

Jewel’s expression was thunderous as she said, “I don’t need it. I can ensure my own safety!”

It was impossible that she didn’t know about Conrad and Chris‘ relationship. She was flirtatious with Chris, but if she began sticking closely with Conrad at all times, Chris would definitely suspect something.

“I’ve said I trust you, but I won’t take the risk, either. Besides, Mr. Gildon isn’t really your full–time bodyguard. He’s just doing it on top of his usual duties. Ms. Massey, don’t overthink things.”

With that, I sealed her fate.

Jewel could no longer retort and only looked at Conrad.

When Conrad looked at me, he didn’t say anything. He just uttered, “Alright. I’ll -follow your orders.”

Now, Jewel was rendered speechless.

“Then, let’s return to our work,” I commanded.

Although Jewel was reluctant, she still left with Conrad. However, I heard her complain to Conrad not a few seconds after they left. “Conrad, how could you agree with her? She’s putting us in a tight spot on purpose!”

“You’re overthinking this. She’s only thinking of work and doesn’t want you to get hurt.”

I laughed at Conrad’s reply.

However, I also felt a little guilty toward him. Perhaps I shouldn’t have taken out my anger toward Chris and Jewel on him. Still, he chose to be here.

“Maddie, you’re so amazing.” Kara gave me a thumbs–up.

“Just go do your work, or else, I will appoint you as Ms. Massey’s full–time caretaker,” I threatened her.

She immediately shook her head and left. “Please, no! I’m going now!”

As everyone left, I became downcast. As much as I was authoritative and strong just now, I was also hurt and disappointed. Apparently, it wasn’t enough

for Chris to hurt me. He even placed Jewel here to disgust me.

Did he think that I hadn’t suffered enough pain and humiliation?

Suddenly, my vision dimmed. A large hand blocked my sight.

I was about to push the hand away when Brandon said, “You did well.”

He withdrew his hand, and I saw a lollipop before my eyes.

I looked at him.

He said, “A reward.”
