The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 942 I Am Fulfilling My Promise

Chapter 942 I am fulfilling my promise

Jaqueline made herself very embarrassed, and her "grandmother" arranged by her adoptive father

before also died in this sudden attack.

She had to do what her adoptive father told her to do, so she cried when she should.

The whole village was in chaos, and Jaqueline thought that was about it.

On the other side, Anthony moved quickly. Hearing that something happened there, he became a little

anxious.

Jaqueline had saved his life, so he owed her a favor. Now she was in trouble, and he had to step in.

Also, Jaqueline looked a lot like Lyra ...

This made Anthony feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Zack reminded from the side, "Mr. Callahan, there is an important shareholder meeting today..."

"Cancel it."

It took two or three hours for the plane to reach the fishing village.

Fortunately, the weather was good. The fishing village was already behind and had inconvenient

transportation. If it was rainy, it will waste much time.

Jaqueline must be in dire straits now , and she urgently needed someone to help her. And it was also

the time to repay her well.

Upon reaching the destination, Anthony saw unprecedented chaos.

This place itself was not considered rich, and even the medical conditions were extremely poor.

Compared with the last time he came to the fishing village, the current situation made it not like a

village, but more like a refugee camp.

The buildings that were originally built with wood had all collapsed now.

The villagers didn't even have a place to commit themselves to. Those who were better had a bed or a

plank to lie on. Those who were poor can only lie on the ground, waiting to die.

The chaotic scene exuded a stench, and the mud seemed to be fermenting after being exposed to the

sun. In addition, someone had died and hadn't been pulled out. This smell was unprecedented stinky.

Jaqueline, whose face looked so much like Lyra, lingered in this environment. Anthony felt ashamed

and ordered his men to search for Jaqueline's whereabouts.

After an hour.

Anthony finally found Jaqueline, but her condition seemed worse than expected.

Her whole body was filthy, from head to toe. Her eyes were red and swollen, and the skin was

scratched in several places on her body. The thick bruises under her eyes proved that she had been

suffering.

Seeing Anthony, Jaqueline ran over in a hurry, threw herself into his arms regardless of the dirt on her

body, choked up and said,

"Anthony, you're finally here ... this is no longer a place for people to stay. I'm so scared."

Jaqueline's eyes were already red, and now they were even redder. She looked at the man in front of

her, and flattened her lips aggrievedly.

Anthony frowned and stood there motionless.

Concealing the complicated emotions in his eyes, he comforted in a deep voice, "I'll ask Zack to

arrange for you what supplies the village needs."

Jaqueline couldn't bear it anymore, sobbing and crying.

She sobbed, "Grandma is gone. Why is this..."

Anthony's heart sank.

Then, led by Jaqueline, Anthony came to her family's wooden house.

Looking at the dead body of the old woman in front of the house, Anthony felt a little uncomfortable. He

still remembered that when he was rescued by Jaqueline, the old woman was still strong and took care

of him for two days.

Fearing that Anthony would not be used to the food in the fishing village, the old woman went to the

county to buy fresh vegetables.

Jaqueline fell to her knees with a "plop", crying into tears.

Anthony couldn't bear to see her in such grief.

"Grandma, I will take good care of Jaqueline for you. Please rest assured."

He turned his head to look at Jaqueline, and comforted her, "She'll rest in peace. I'm sorry."

"You haven't had a good rest these days. Have you eaten well? We will bury grandma in a while, and I

will take you out for a walk."

Jaqueline's aggrieved face was wrinkled, and there was a lot of muddy water on her fair skin.

Jaqueline, who looked confounded, didn't make Anthony feel disgusted, but more distressed because

she looked so much like Lyra.

Heeding Anthony's words, Jaqueline stopped crying and went to the beach with him to find a suitable

place.

The fishing village was backward, and it still adhered to the most primitive burial. She wanted to bury

her parents, but she couldn't find a suitable place for a long time.

Anthony thought for a moment and said,

"It takes time and effort to bury her like this. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Why not go to

a crematorium in the county and cremate grandma? She can also be buried at sea. Maybe they don't

want to part with the sea, so they might as well stay here."

Jaqueline readily agreed.

This was not difficult for Jaqueline. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Especially for the so-called grandma, she had tried her best to express her affection.

She also wanted to end the scene as quickly as possible.

Anthony brought a lot of men, so it was very convenient to do things.

After all the hustle and bustle, the old woman was soon buried at sea.

Jaqueline was alone, standing in front of her house, quite lonely.

Anthony knew that there was no one she loved in this village, and if he left, she would only have her

own lonely life left.

After thinking about it, Anthony decided to take Jaqueline back with him.

Now that he had promised to take good care of her, this can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to her

grandma.

Jaqueline heard this, and said very sadly, "Anthony, is this really okay? It's not that I don't want to go

with you, but..."

She hesitated to speak.

"What?" Anthony asked.

"You are an excellent man with a wife and a family. If Ms. Parker knows about it, will she

misunderstand you?"

Anthony hesitated too.

If he brought her back abruptly, he didn't think about how to face Mavis, but now Jaqueline was alone,

which was really inconvenient.

After thinking about it, he said calmly, "I'm fulfilling my promise to your grandma."

Jaqueline wanted to play hard to get, but at this time she said, "Anthony, it's not that I don't want to go

with you. You always understand my mind. Now that you are married, even if there is nothing between

you and me, will Ms. Parker believe it? I can't do things that destroy other people's families. Sorry."

After speaking, Jaqueline seemed a little sad, and her tears could not stop falling down.

She seemed to be trying her best to bear it, but she couldn't hold it anymore, and ran out sadly, not

giving him a chance to speak at all.

Seeing this, Anthony hurriedly asked the bodyguards to chase after her.

Jaqueline ran into a forest, watched his men follow up, and said directly, "Don't come over. My whole

mind is messed up. I want to be quiet for a while. Just stay by myself for a while."

That being said, the fishing village was not safe, and there were often unknown people haunting it.

For Jaqueline's safety, Anthony's bodyguards did not go far, but watched her secretly not far away.

Sure enough, some gangsters passing by saw Jaqueline sitting alone in the forest. After a closer look,

they found she was a pretty girl.

Although Jaqueline's white dress was dirty, it still couldn't hide her beauty.

There were young and old gangsters. The old one looked over forty years old, and the young ones

were less than twenty years old. There were three of them in total. Their skin was tanned and shiny,

and their arms were strong.

Jaqueline was physically weak and not their opponent.

The leader saw Jaqueline crying, and smiled treacherously, "Little girl, what are you crying for? Are you

afraid being alone? Can you let me accompany you?"

With that said, the three of them were about to rush towards Jaqueline.

Jaqueline was ruthless, and cursed secretly that these gangsters would dare to mess with anyone.

Just as she was about to attack, she turned around and saw Anthony's figure.
