Chapter 2
Seeing his beloved secretary feel so aggrieved, Estelle immediately turned cold. “Mortimer, you still don’t know your mistakes. It’s hopeless. Lincoln is obviously the wronged party and I will not let you bully him again.”
Looking at Lincoln’s clumsy performance, I laughed out loud.
“Estelle, do you believe his clumsy excuse? Have you forgotten how much salary you paid him a month? 13,000 dollars a month, but I only have 600 dollars a month. How could he not have money to take a taxi? Don’t you see what he is wearing?”
Lincoln was wearing famous brands and was valuable and I only wore a few cheapest clothes in a season.
Just because of the 600 dollars, I basically didn’t have any left after paying the utilities and electricity bills at home and I had no spare money to buy clothes.
Hearing this, Estelle’s face turned red for a moment and then she said angrily, “Are you complaining about the high salary I paid for Lincoln? He just graduated and needed money to rent a house and eat and commute. What’s wrong with giving him more and letting him not work so hard? You are the director and my husband, who has food and accommodation, so why do you need such a salary?”
“I think you are just jealous of Lincoln, so I deliberately left him behind. This time, I must punish you well so that you can know how wrong you are.”
No matter what Lincoln did, she would defend him. I didn’t seem to have anything to say to her.
It was just that it was getting darker and I had to rely on the compass to keep myself away from danger as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, a wolf’s howl came from a distance. I looked closely and almost lost my breath.
There were more than a dozen wolves standing on the hillside in the distance, staring at my place with bright eyes, as if they were about to rush over at any time.
My legs and feet were so weak and my face turned pale. If these wolves rushed over, I would definitely be torn to pieces.
I looked up at Estelle in the plane. As long as she put down the rescue ladder, I could get out of danger.
Estelle also looked at me, but she had no worries in her eyes, only jokes and cruelty. “Mortimer, I know you are afraid now and you want to beg me, but unfortunately, it’s too late. You threw Lincoln on the road at 45 degrees. He fainted from heat stroke after walking back to the company and he almost lost his life. This is what you owe him. I have to teach you a lesson.”
I looked at Estelle incredulously, intending to give her a last chance. As long as she was willing to let me get on the plane, I could give up the principle for her again.
“Estelle, that’s a wolf. Do you know what I would become if they pounced on me? What did I do wrong? You want me to die?”
Estelle was stunned for a moment, then looked at me with a normal expression.
“You won’t die. I just want you to learn a lesson and I will take you back when you get a lesson.”
I smiled and burst into tears. After all, I overestimated my status in her heart. I looked at Estelle in disappointment. “Estelle, you don’t need to take me back.”
Estelle, no matter what happened from now on, you must remember that this was the fruit of your doings today.
Hearing my words, Estelle looked angry. “What do you mean? Is it because I didn’t let you get on the plane right away, so you’re throwing a tantrum with me? I’m so nice to you every time and this is your payback?”
At this moment, the wolves began to run towards me.
I was too lazy to talk nonsense with Estelle anymore and started running to the other side.
I dared not relax at all, so I rushed forward desperately, just trying to keep the distance between me and the wolf as much as possible.
But how could a person run away from a wolf? I could almost hear my heartbeat as I heard the wolf cries getting closer and closer.
Chapter 3
A trace of worry flashed across Estelle’s face when she was watching this scene on the plane. Lincoln, who caught this, had a grudge flash in his eyes.
Then he held Estelle’s arm and acted coquettishly. “President, are you worried about Mr. Watkins? This is the periphery of the no-man’s land. These wolves have been tamed and will not hurt people. But you are still so worried. Since that’s the case, you don’t have to pretend to want to seek justice for me.”
“I almost died from the 45-degree heatstroke that day, just think of my life as nothing. But I always remember you holding my hand and saying that you wanted to seek justice for me. If it weren’t for you, I would have been unable to hold on at that time and would have died long ago.”
After hearing this, Estelle looked at me again and hugged Lincoln in her arms with a look of distress. “Lincoln, I said I want to seek justice for you, but I will keep my word. But this wolf looked so fierce and I was a little stunned for a moment. Don’t these wolves really hurt people?”
A panic flashed in Lincoln’s eyes and then he returned to normal. “Of course, I just want to vent my anger. I still want Mr. Watkins to be alive. Don’t you believe me?”
Estelle shook her head quickly and kissed Lincoln on his forehead. “You are so kind, of course I believe you. After Mortimer apologizes to you this time, you will get along well with each other, alright?”
Estelle finished speaking and looked down at the ground, then widened her eyes at the scene in front of her.
The group of howling wolves had rushed to Mortimer. They surrounded Mortimer in the middle and circled around Mortimer, as if they were looking at their prey.
Seeing this, Lincoln smiled and said, “President, do you see these wolves playing around with Mr. Watkins? As long as Mr. Watkins does not act excessively, the wolves will not move.”
Estelle, who was still worried, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. “I hope they can teach him a lesson this time.”
Estelle looked down at me and said, “Mortimer, do you know that you are wrong now?”
I looked up and looked at her coldly. “I was wrong.”
She was stunned and I continued to speak word by word, “I was wrong seven years ago.”
Estelle looked angry. “If you don’t repent, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”
I watched the red dots on the satellite positioning watch beating little by little and my heart was relieved a little.
Looking at the group of wolves, I made a decision after a little thought. I untied the dagger hidden in the bracelet and rushed towards one of the wolves with lightning speed.
I had already seen it; this was the wolf king. As long as I subdued it, I could shock other wolves, so that they dared not act rashly and bought time for myself.
At the same time, a scream sounded from the top of my head. “Mortimer, what are you doing?”
I ignored the anxious shout and jumped on the wolf king to tie its neck. The dagger penetrated into its neck and the hot blood spurted out, splashing my face.
Seeing this, the wolf pack quickly dispersed and looked at me vigilantly.
The wolf king wailed twice, then fell down completely and I breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
The wolves around were wailing in the sky, but none of them dared to step forward again.
Lincoln rushed into Estelle’s arms, looking scared. “President, it was so scary just now. Mr. Watkins annoyed the wolves, so he won’t implicate us.”
Estelle looked at me with anger. “Mortimer, were you crazy just now? Why did you kill the wolf? What should you do if these wolves attack you when they are crazy? Then I will not save you. Are you trying to deliberately drag me into this mess? I really didn’t expect your mind to be so vicious. Do you want me to be buried with you here?”
Chapter 4
I looked up at her with blood on my face, looked coldly at her and spoke sarcastically. “So you expect me to do nothing and waiting for the group of wolves to pounce on me and tear me to pieces, is that right?”
Estelle choked. “They are just surrounding you to scare you. How could they really hurt you? Are you not afraid of making the wolves angry with this move?”
I shook my head. Estelle had been brainwashed by Lincoln, so I didn’t have to explain to her anymore.
“You kneel down and apologize to Lincoln immediately and I will let you get on the plane.”
I looked at the red dots getting closer and closer on the satellite watch and I chuckled. “No need, I will never apologize to such a person in my life.”
After saying that, I began to observe the surroundings vigilantly. They were not attacking now. They were just observing, waiting for a better opportunity and at a deadly moment, I didn’t want to talk nonsense to Estelle anymore.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lincoln suddenly threw a firecracker at the wolves from the plane.
“Mr. Watkins, don’t worry, I will help you drive away the wolves.”
The sound of firecrackers stimulated the wolf pack to rush towards me with red eyes.
Seeing the crazy wolf pack, I cursed angrily, “Lincoln, are you crazy? Throwing firecrackers at the wolf pack, do you know you are stimulating the wolf pack?”
Lincoln looked red and felt aggrieved. “President, I didn’t mean it. I just wanted to help Mr. Watkins drive away the wolves. When I was a child, I would scare the puppy away when I ordered firecrackers during the New Year. I thought wolves would be scared away, too, so I just wanted to help.”
Estelle looked aggrieved and immediately comforted him gently, “I know you didn’t mean it. How could you deliberately harm him when you are this kind?”
Then she scolded me angrily, “Mortimer, why are you so fierce to Lincoln? He just wanted to help. Besides, didn’t you kill a wolf just now? These wolves shouldn’t be a problem for you. Why are you angry at him?”
I was so angry that I kept cursing. I couldn’t believe that these words came out of my wife’s mouth.
Even if her little puppy secretary killed me in front of her, she had a hundred reasons to defend him.
A wolf rushed towards me and I turned over and avoided it, inserting the dagger into its neck with my backhand. It fell to the ground with a wail. As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, a wolf suddenly pounced on me.
It bit my shoulder in one bite and while I struggled, a piece of flesh was pulled off. I took the opportunity to insert the dagger into its neck again with my backhand.
I was trembling with a wound on my shoulders and my face turned pale. I looked at the remaining wolves tremblingly, staring at me fiercely, preparing to find the opportunity to tear me apart.
Killing three wolves in a row had already made them crazy.
They found an opportunity to rush towards me again and as soon as I raised my wrist, I was bitten hard by a wolf.
“Ah!” I couldn’t help but make a sound in pain. I could feel that the wolf’s teeth had bitten my bones. If it didn’t loosen, my arm would be bitten off by it.
At the critical moment, I took the dagger with my other hand and stabbed it hard at the wolf’s neck.
It tore off a piece of my flesh in pain and then wolves rushed towards me. They bit my thighs and backs and I held a dagger and fought randomly.
The pain swept across my body and the crazy wolf pack bit off my flesh.
Looking from the plane, I only saw that I was swallowed by a pack of wolves, bloodred.
Estelle froze and shouted with a worried look on her face, “How could this happen? Mortimer will die! There are so many wolves! You guys go down and save him!”
Several bodyguards on the plane were frightened and trembled. “President, this is a crazy wolf pack. We will be torn to pieces if we go down.”
Estelle froze and subconsciously wanted to get off the plane, but was stopped by Lincoln. “President, you will die if you go down now. This is what he asked for. Who asked him to provoke the wolf pack first?”
“But he is my husband! My most important person!”
Lincoln was stunned. At this moment, a scream came from the plane.
“Ah! Mortimer!”
Then a gunshot rang out in the distance throughout the no-man’s land.
