Chapter50
Half a month later, at the riverside.
Javon silently gazed at Alison beside him.
Alison stood there, eyes gently closed, head tilted slightly upwards, allowing the lazy breeze to caress her. Her
complexion, a delicate‘ shade of pink, glistened with a luster reminiscent. Her soft, chestnut brown hair cascaded down her back, unveiling her fair neck.
She exuded an almost ethereal charm.
Suddenly, without the slightest hint, Alison’s eyes snapped open, and she spun around.
Javon, caught off–guard, swiftly averted his gaze. He cleared his throat, and said softly, “Antonio has been drowning his sorrows in the bar these past few days. He’s stopped trailing
you.
“Moreover, the board of directors of his domestic group has been piling on the pressure, urging him to return and resume his duties without delay.
“So, it won’t be long before he gives up and leaves.”
Upon hearing this, Alison simply nodded. Her expression
remained inscrutable, betraying no clue as to what thoughts were in her mind.
In a daze, Javon’s eyes locked on her.

All of a sudden, a faint, alluring fragrance wafted towards him, tugging at his heartstrings. He wanted to inhale it more deeply, to savor it more fully. With such a thought, he found himself unconsciously leaning in closer to her.
In the very next second, Alison’s words of gratitude jolted him back to reality.
“Javon, thank you for your help these days.
“I know you’re already busy at work, but you’re still willing to spare the time to act with me…
“I am really grateful and very happy to have you by my side.”
Javon understood.
He gazed at her deeply, but words seemed to get stuck in his throat.
In the end, all he could manage was a slightly bitter smile. He took off his scarf and gently wrapped it around her.
They had no idea that this very scene was witnessed by someone else, whose eyes were filled with bitterness and resentment.

On the way back, Alison and Javon tacitly remained silent. Suddenly, there was a “bang“. A jolt of impact hit them.
It seemed that their car had been rear–ended.
Javon first made sure that Alison was safe and sound. Then, he calmly unbuckled his seatbelt and said in a deep voice, “I’ll

go to check.”
However, as soon as he got out of the car, Antonio suddenly emerged on the passenger side. He opened the door, grabbed Alison’s wrist, yanked her out of the car with force, pulled her into his car, and then stomped on the accelerator aggressively!
Before Alison could realize what had happened, Antonio already drove away.
Alison looked at Antonio’s tense face. His thin lips pressed tightly together, and his body radiated a sense of gloom. She quickly took out her phone to call for help.
Antonio’s hoarse voice slowly sounded, “Grace, you can call the police. Do whatever you want.
“But I want you to know that even if I die, I won’t hurt you.”
Instantly, Alison paused.
Twenty minutes later, the car actually drove back to the riverside.
Alison was momentarily stunned, then she frowned and asked coldly, “Antonio, what on earth do you want?”
But in the next second, taking advantage of his drunken state, Antonio cupped her cheek and suddenly kissed her passionately, as if a storm had erupted.
