Donna took a deep breath to calm down, but her heart was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.

"I remember you now." She added in the end.

"Really? You did?" His eyes glittered cunningly.

"Chief executive of HNE Group." She answered.

Donna read financial magazines and thus found him familiar.

"Just this?" His eyes glinted.

"Someone both the officials and the underworld couldn't afford to offend."

"And?"

"Isn't it enough?" She sulked.

Did he need her to mention all his feats? Narcissist!

"Looks like you always miss the point!" He narrowed his eyes and pinched her chin.

"If so, get to the point and stop beating around the bush!" Her voice was filled with anger and impatience.

"You just can't wait, right?" He smirked and ran his fingers across her delicate cheek.

"Why do you kidnap me? Tell me the reason. I'm sure of my intact memories and certain that I don't know you."

Not stupid; she could sense hatred from his words.

He sounded like they knew each other for a long time.

His eyes went stern. Karl pinched her chin, lifted her face, and spoke fiercely, "It doesn't matter. It's not late to know me now!"

As soon as his voice died away, he bit her lips red from the warmth once again.

In reflex, she braced against his chest and resisted violently!

Her resistance fueled his aggression!

"Donna, a plaything doesn't have the right to resist!" He clasped her wrists and stared at her with crimson eyes.

She swallowed, tried to calm down, and plucked up her courage, "You... you just said that only you could save him. Is it real?"

If this man could save Hamilton, she was willing to sacrifice herself.

After all, Hamilton was the only person in this world who treated her so well.

Even if he was evil, he was still a kind man in her mind.

"A little tricky." Karl curled up his mouth to smile.

"What do you mean?" She asked immediately.

"It's not that easy to save someone, not to mention that his crime is grave." He gently lifted her chin and continued, "But... the difficulty depends on your performance. You mean what I mean?"

He lowered his head and bit her on the lips again.

"Mmm..." As soon as the wound on her lip was bitten, she trembled in pain.

"As long as you save him, I'll do whatever you ask." She closed her eyes desperately.

"What if he is still sentenced to death in the end?" He asked slowly.

"I believe you can save him." She abruptly opened her tearful eyes and croaked.

...

As soon as her voice died away, the man looked at her in shock, "What did you say?"

She said that... she believed him?

It had been a long time... since someone said that last time. It should be around ten years.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was a ruthless businessman who valued interests over anything else. Who dared to trust him in the treacherous business world?

"Do I have other options except for trusting you?" Her voice was faint and helpless.
