Chapter 845 Training Tony
As soon as Jennifer returned to the villa, a silhouette appeared and pushed her to the wall. The next moment, a hideous voice sounded. “Jennifer, you’re finally back.”
Jennifer trembled unconsciously. Gritting her teeth, she glared at the man in front of her angrily. “June, I can’t believe you still have the cheek to come and see me. Do you know how much I’ve suffered because of you?”
After pushing Jennifer into the house, June reached out to switch on the light. Immediately, the bright light illuminated the place, revealing their faces to each other.
June grabbed Jennifer’s chin with one hand while holding a camera in the other hand which he used to pin Jennifer down. Jennifer found the camera familiar the moment she glanced at it. In an instant, she widened her eyes, and there was an evident trace of anger in them.
“June, you despicable monster! How dare you ask someone to take a picture of me secretly! Don’t you feel shame?” she roared.
June smiled even more evilly as he replied, “You seem to enjoy having sex with Carter a lot! Perhaps you’ve even forgotten about me, your partner. How am I supposed to win you back if I don’t do something about it?”
Molten anger rolled through Jennifer as she gritted her teeth hard. Why would I even agree to work together with such a pervert? I must be blind back then! Not only did he frame me, but he even sent someone to take pictures of me secretly! He’s such a despicable person!
“June, are you even a man?” Jennifer said through gritted teeth.
Twisting his neck, June pulled Jennifer’s face closer to him. They became so close that there was only one centimeter between them. Moreover, Jennifer could even see the hostility and malicious intentions in his eyes.
The next moment, June tore her clothes and switched on the video function on his camera. With an evil laugh, he said, “You’re not a good girl, so I have to get my hands on your secret. That’s the only way to make you stay obedient to me and do as I say.”
Jennifer struggled with all her might. Unfortunately, June placed his hand on her chest and exerted great force. That was too painful for her, so she couldn’t help but groan in a deep voice.
“You better be good, or I’ll bed you right here and now. After all, I’m a man. I won’t be affected even if my pictures or videos got spread across the Internet. I can still continue enjoying my life with different women. However, you’re different. Your reputation would be ruined if that happens.” June raised the camera in his hand, saying casually.
“You f*cking pervert.” With her eyes turned crimson-red, Jennifer stopped struggling.
“How would I manage to persuade you to work together with me if I’m not a pervert?” June then added, “In short, as long as you listen to me, I won’t share anything inside this camera on the Internet.”
Jennifer took a deep breath. “What actually do you want?”
“Nothing. I just want you to stay obedient to me.”
Just as Jennifer wanted to say something, an angry voice sounded. “June, let go of her!” Having said that, a figure rushed over to the two and grabbed June. In an instant, the two men broke into a fight.
Carter pounced on June, and they both fell to the ground. The former punched the latter on both sides of his cheeks. “You terrible foreigner! I’ll never leave if I don’t punch you to death today!” said Carter furiously.
After getting punched several times, June got up, attempting to fight back. The two got into an intense fight. Besides, both of them had been learning combat skills since they were young. Although their skills were not as powerful as the professional bodyguards such as Kurt and Hugo, they could still defeat a few ordinary adult men at once. Hence, none of them was willing to back down.
Meanwhile, Jennifer stood at the side, watching them fight. She couldn’t help but feel her heart twinge when she saw June punch Carter’s face twice. “Carter, watch out!”
Hearing that, Carter became worked up. Perhaps he was eager to show off his skills in front of Jennifer, so he fought extra hard. Not long after, June got punched seriously on his stomach and face.
June glared at Carter maliciously. “Just you guys wait!”
Then, he turned around and ran toward the door. Jennifer’s face turned as pale as a sheet when she saw that. “Carter, he still has our pictures in the camera in his hand. I’ll be doomed if we don’t take it back!”
Immediately, Carter rushed toward June. The two then started another fight in the doorway.
June came there alone this time, so his bodyguards were not there. Therefore, he, who was not as strong as Carter, was quickly put at a disadvantage. Furthermore, he was still holding the camera in his hand, so he couldn’t fight freely.
Left with no choice, he tossed the camera to the side and started brawling with Carter. After some time, the two panted heavily in exhaustion. Meanwhile, Jennifer went to pick up the camera the moment June threw it away. Then, she ran around the house to look for a weapon. Upon finding a broom in the corner of a room, she ran back with it and started beating June with that.
“I’ll beat you to death today! You shameless pervert! You were the one who made a mistake, yet I have to become the scapegoat because of you! If I knew you were that untrustworthy, I would never even spare you a glance in the first place.” Jennifer beat June while scolding him, “A pervert like you will only bring harm to other women. I should really end your life right here and now!”
She beat him harder and harder over time. June got pinned down by Carter while being attacked by Jennifer. Hence, he had to take the hit without being able to fight back. Soon after, he felt a sharp pain spiking through his entire body, so he yelled, “You d*mned woman! You better pray you won’t fall into my hands one day. Otherwise, I’ll definitely make your life a living hell!”
Nevertheless, as soon as he said that, Jennifer beat him even harder. At last, she lost her control and started beating even Carter as well.
Carter couldn’t help but move away from June. He looked at Jennifer, who evidently had lost her mind, for a moment before running over to hug her from behind. “Jennifer, calm down. It’s me. I won’t hurt you,” he said anxiously.
Carter repeated that sentence again and again while holding Jennifer in his arms. Meanwhile, June shot Jennifer a glare viciously. Infuriated, he threatened, “I still have a copy of those photos with me. I’ll definitely upload her nude photos on the Internet tomorrow!” With that said, he ran away quickly.
Carter stood up, attempting to chase after him. Nevertheless, Jennifer grabbed his hand and stopped him. “Carter, my stomach hurts,” she said in pain. There was even cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
Immediately, Carter carried her and placed her on the couch, and he started massaging her tummy for her. However, he noticed that she was still knitting her brows in immense pain, so he ran into the kitchen and boiled some water. Upon pouring her a glass of water, he blew it cold and handed it to her. “Drink some water.”
Jennifer took a sip of it. The warm water flowed into her stomach, easing the pain inside. “Thank you, Carter,” she said those words with difficulty.
Looking at her worriedly, Carter asked, “Is your stomach still hurting? Come on. I’ll bring you to the hospital.”
Jennifer let out a bitter laugh. “I’m fine. I guess it’s almost that time of the month. It’s normal for my stomach to hurt a few days before my menstruation.”
“Really?” Carter asked dubiously. She was still fine just now. How is it possible for her tummy to hurt so much in only a few seconds?
However, he didn’t have much knowledge about women’s menstruation, so he dared not make any assumptions.
Jennifer nodded in response. “Carter, can you delete the photos in the camera for me?”
Carter browsed through the camera album and deleted their nude photos. However, he recalled June had said that he still had a copy of those photos before leaving just now. Immediately, he came up with a plan.
Bending forward, he scooped Jennifer up in his arms. Unconsciously, Jennifer wrapped her arms around his neck. “Carter, what are you doing?” They had just gotten into an argument near Amelia’s place earlier. Now that they were the only ones left in the house, Jennifer felt a little awkward.
“I’m carrying you to bed. Don’t worry about the photos. I’ll help you get them back. Now, you just have to take a good rest. I’m your man now, so I’ll be here for you. I’ll protect you and make sure that you won’t get hurt.” Carter glanced at her, looking serious as he said that.
Jennifer felt a surge of warmth within her heart. Suddenly, she felt like believing everything Carter said.
Leaning her head against his chest, she said softly, “I’ve used you. Don’t you blame me for that?”
“Did you use me, though? You have feelings for me, don’t you?” Carter asked as he raised an eyebrow.
Jennifer was stunned for a second before she broke into laughter. Then, she adjusted her position in Carter’s embrace. Just as Carter was pondering what she was going to do next, she leaned closer to his face and planted a kiss on his cheek. Looking rather embarrassed, she said, “Carter, I’m willing to give us a chance if you treat me well wholeheartedly. As for the revenge, as long as Oscar could spare my family, I’ll stop targeting them.”
Carter’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard that. “Really?” he asked, hugging her tightly.
“Yes. I really want to be with you this time.” Jennifer continued, “I know how much you’ve done for me. I would be blind if I continued assuming you had some ulterior motives toward me.”
Carter quickly carried her into the bedroom. After putting her on the bed, he lay on top of her and looked at her with his bright, clear eyes. “Is your tummy still hurting?” he asked cautiously.
Jennifer knew what he wanted to do, and she shook her head in response.
With that, Carter took off her bra as he leaned forward to kiss her lips.
That was the first time Jennifer opened up to him fully.
The two then spent a fuzzy, passionate night together. Jennifer was exhausted, so she fell asleep soon after.
Lowering his head, Carter kissed her on her lips affectionately. Then, he got up from the bed and picked up his phone to make a call. As soon as the call was connected, he went straight to the point. “Jake, keep an eye on the social media for me. As soon as you see any pictures of me, get rid of them. Ask the hackers who work for you to take control of the online news. As for the payment, you can name a price. I’ll transfer the money into your account in time.”
“Nude photos? Mr. Scott, what have you done?” the man on the other end of the line asked in a confused tone.
“Stop asking questions. Just delete any pictures of me and Jennifer. I’m sure you can handle this menial task, right?” asked Carter.
“As long as the person who spreads them is not someone powerful or prominent, I can settle it,” Jake replied.
“All right, then. I’ll wire you the money.” Having said that, Carter hung up the phone.
He then returned to the bed and pulled Jennifer into his arms gently. Closing his eyes, he fell into a deep slumber.
As expected, the photos of Carter and Jennifer appeared on the Internet the next day. However, someone deleted them as soon as they got posted. In less than thirty minutes, another set of their pictures appeared on social media again. Nevertheless, those pictures got deleted again soon after. That happened a few times, and the netizens got excited, as the one who posted the pictures and the one who deleted them looked as if they were in a competition. Because of that, the netizens lost interest in the people in the photos.
Meanwhile, Hugo watched the photos get posted and deleted again and again. “Boss, the pictures of Jennifer, the woman that you asked us to pay attention to, are posted online again. Many netizens are waiting for some interesting news. Should we add fuel to the fire? With our power, I think it’ll be more difficult for those people to delete the pictures again.”
Oscar was leaning against his chair with his eyes narrowed at the moment. He tapped his finger on the desk casually, saying nothing. For a moment, Hugo and the others couldn’t tell what was on his mind. Anxiously, they waited for him to respond.
“Find out who’s the one that posted those photos. You guys went to chase after June without my permission. Because of that, he made his escape. I’ll give you guys a chance to make up for your mistake. Look into the online posts and trace that user account to find out June’s whereabouts. If you guys still fail to get him, I’ll find someone else to protect Amelia and Tony,” Oscar said when his subordinates were waiting anxiously for his reply. Hearing Oscar’s words, Hugo couldn’t help but feel his heart race. No words could describe how terrified he was, and he felt like his heart was going to escape from his throat.
Hugo answered without delay, “Boss, I’ll start the investigation right away. Then, should we screenshot Jennifer’s pictures and repost them with our account?”
“You guys can keep a copy of those photos. But then, don’t post them first. It’s boring to use the same trick twice. Moreover, the others might say that I’m not a gentleman,” said Oscar in a leisure tone.
A tinge of confusion surfaced in Hugo’s eyes.
All of a sudden, Oscar opened his eyes and shot Hugo a glance. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it now.”
“Yes, Boss.” Hugo left the study hurriedly.
Just then, Amelia walked over with some food in her hands. Seeing the gloomy expression on Hugo’s face, she queried, “What’s wrong? Did Oscar scold you again?”
Hugo shook his head, answering, “No, Mrs. Clinton. It’s just that I’m not doing my job well.”
Amelia gazed at the phone Hugo was holding, and she recalled the photos she saw when she launched her WhatsApp earlier that day. Instantly, she came to a realization.
“Hugo, you’re here to inform Oscar about Jennifer’s photos, right?” Although she was asking, she was actually certain of her assumption.
Hugo scratched the back of his head. “Mrs. Clinton, we can’t hide anything from you, can we?”
“Oscar is not the one behind this, right?”
“Mrs. Clinton, don’t get the wrong idea. Boss really didn’t do that. But then, I feel that Jennifer has crossed the line this time. If it weren’t for her, Mr. Anthony wouldn’t have suffered so much. I felt like doing something to ruin her reputation, but Boss stopped me from doing so. I’m quite dissatisfied with that, as I don’t understand why Boss showed mercy on her.” Hugo took a glance at Amelia and spoke his mind.
Amelia said smilingly, “Don’t blame Oscar for that. I’m the one who asked him not to do that. Oscar is powerful, but he should never use a woman’s dignity and reputation as a weapon against her, even if he wants to take revenge on her. We’ve done that once to her. It’ll be too evil if we do that again. Besides, we’re not sure whether she’s involved in Tony’s kidnapping. Thus, we shouldn’t intervene this time. We still have plenty of ways to deal with our enemies, anyway. What do you think, Hugo? Do you agree with me?”
Hugo’s expression stiffened for a second. With a serious face, he replied, “You’re right, Mrs. Clinton. I was too petty and impatient. All I thought was to achieve our aim quickly, so naturally, I didn’t carefully ponder over this matter like you did.”
Amelia shook her head in response. “No. I’m the one who’s too soft sometimes. I just feel that Jennifer’s not a despicable woman. After all, Oscar was the one who made the first move. No matter who’s at fault in the first place, it’s a fact that her mother got sent to the psychiatric hospital because of Oscar. Her mother’s already old, yet she still has to travel overseas for treatment. In the end, we’re still the ones in the wrong. Everyone wants to spend their later years in their hometowns. I feel we shouldn’t intervene in this matter this time.”
“You’re right, Mrs. Clinton,” Hugo replied.
Smiling, Amelia said, “You don’t have to be so serious, Hugo. Why don’t you stay here and eat your breakfast first before leaving? You came here early in the morning, so you must’ve been starving.”
Hugo nodded and eventually accepted her offer.
After Hugo headed downstairs, Amelia entered the study with breakfast in her hands. Oscar realized that it was Amelia when he opened his eyes. In an instant, the maliciousness in his eyes dissipated.
Amelia put down the tray of food in front of him. “It’s time to eat your breakfast. Mom called me to inform me that your sister can finally be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. She planned to bring Stephanie back to the Clinton residence so Stephanie could recuperate there, and she asked me to go and take care of Stephanie.”
Oscar knitted his brows. “She has her own house. Why does Mom have to bring her home? What will the others think if they hear about that? Mom must’ve gone senile from old age.”
In fact, Amelia was unhappy about that as well. After all, both Stephanie and she disliked each other. It was evident that Olivia was making things difficult for her by asking her to take care of Stephanie. Nevertheless, she couldn’t say no to Olivia.
“I don’t know, either. Perhaps she’s worried that the Walker family couldn’t take good care of your sister,” Amelia said indifferently.
Oscar replied, “Nonsense. The Walker family is a prominent family, yet Mom’s still worried that they can’t take good care of Stephanie? Just how fragile is she?”
Amelia couldn’t help laughing. “Oscar, don’t forget that she’s your sister.”
“A sister? I don’t have a sister who wants to kill my son.”
The smile on Amelia’s face faded a little. She couldn’t help but recall the scene about four years ago when she lay on the operation table after the car accident. She was weak and on the verge of dying at that moment. If it weren’t for her luck, Tony and she would have already died.
Oscar pulled her into his arms, trying to stop her from thinking about that.
“Let’s have breakfast first. It’s none of our business whether Stephanie lives in the Clinton residence or not. Mom is getting old. Moreover, she’s soft-hearted, so she will side with Stephanie after hearing Stephanie’s sweet talk.” Oscar scooped a mouthful of oatmeal and fed Amelia. Then, he continued as he watched her swallow the food. “Since Mom has asked us to go and visit Stephanie, we’ll do as she says. However, I won’t let you go and take care of her. Tony’s still traumatized from the kidnapping, so he needs you now. I’d like to see which grandchild Mom cares more about.”
Amelia burst into laughter as she found Oscar, who tried to defend Tony and her, adorable.
The couple then enjoyed their breakfast happily. After finishing their food, Amelia asked, “Oscar, I saw Jennifer’s photos on the Internet. Will you intervene in that matter?”
Shooting her a glance, Oscar asked in amusement, “Do you want me to intervene in it?”
Amelia shook her head without hesitation.
“Then, I’ll stay out of it. But then, I asked Hugo to try looking for June through the user account that exposed Jennifer’s photos. That foreigner has only been in Chanaea for a few years, but he has already caused so much trouble for the Clinton family and the Larson family. If I continue letting him stay here, he might do something worse. This time, I’ll definitely ask the government to ban him from entering our country!” Oscar replied with his eyes narrowed.
Amelia took a glance at him. “Oscar, do you think you can stop him?”
“As long as we can prove that his company is involved in smuggling, the government will probably send him back to his country,” said Oscar confidently.
“Smuggling?” Amelia knew that was a serious crime. “Did you find any evidence?”
Oscar explained, “Not yet, but I’ve already sent someone to investigate it. He does anything he wants fearlessly just because he’s one of the Adertons. Because of that, he thinks no one dares to do anything to him in Chanaea. I heard that he has been working with some powerful people from Southeast Aploth. After we have him arrested, I can pull some strings. In that case, it’ll be impossible for him to escape anymore. Since he has the guts to hurt my son, he must pay a huge price for that.”
Amelia lowered her gaze as she recalled the kidnapping. At that thought, she couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Luckily, nothing serious happens to Tony.
Oscar noticed that she was trembling, so he hugged her even tighter. Looking concerned, he asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling cold?”
Being held in Oscar’s arms, Amelia replied, “No. I’m just glad that nothing has happened to Tony. Otherwise, I might not pull it through. I’m really thankful that Tony is fine.”
“Silly girl. I won’t let anything happen to both of you as long as I’m here.” Oscar smiled.
Hearing that, Amelia nodded.
She just wanted their family to live a peaceful life. Unfortunately, there was always someone who wanted to harm them. Not only did some of them try to take her down, but there were even people who wanted to hurt her son. Therefore, Amelia became more and more paranoid. She couldn’t help but worry that Tony would be in danger whenever something trivial happened.
Although they had hired some bodyguards to protect Tony, Amelia could only feel safe as long as Tony was with her.
Therefore, she suggested, “Oscar, how about you teach Tony combat skills?”
“The process of learning combat skills is hard. Are you sure you can stand watching him suffer?”
“Nothing’s more important than his life. To me, everything’s worth it as long as he’s safe. He’s the heir of the Clinton family. Of course, he has to sacrifice more than the others while enjoying his life. Moreover, he’s going to inherit the family business in the future. I don’t wish to see him being threatened by anything or anyone.”
Oscar understood what Amelia meant. “All right.”
The next morning, he got Tony out of his bed and took Tony to his organization. Just then, Tony was still in a daze, not understanding what was going on.
That was the first time Amelia visited the headquarters of Oscar’s organization. Staring at the modern and advanced devices, she couldn’t help but feel astonished.
“Oscar, did you set up all of these by yourself?” Amelia asked. Admiration was palpable in her eyes as she looked at Oscar.
