A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 720 Mountain Road

"Well! I just stop here!" Ernie looked outside and suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road, where it almost drove towards the East Hill. He reached out and touched Sylvie's face shamelessly. Sylvie smacked his hand away and scolded in a panic, "What are you doing?"

Ernie was stunned and then he teased, "Didn't I tell you this morning? I have fond on you, why don't you leave Marley and follow me?"

Sylvie shrank back and whispered, "Have you make enough jokes? Ernie, I don't think that's your purpose! What exactly do you want, just say it!"

"Then what is my purpose?" He secretly laughed upon seeing her scared and stubborn look, so he pretended to be serious and said, "That's my purpose, I really regret for not attending my cousin's wedding! I should have snatched you up and it's a pity that I don't know you are such a beauty. I heard he doesn't treat you well, why are you still so determined to follow him? You should just stay with me and we will have much more fun together. How about you divorce him and marry me?"

Sylvie's eyes dimmed slightly and she pursed her lips without saying anything.

Seeing her like this, Ernie's fingers reached over again which gently picked up her slim jaw. He then leaned close to her face, puffing out a malicious breath that sprayed on her face, as he had hoped, he saw her face blushing. "Are you shy, Sylvie? Look how cute your little red face is!"

"You..." Sylvie tried to pull his hand off again but he clamped down on her jaw violently. Sylvie could not pull his hand away, so she could only stare at him. "Ernie, please behave yourself!"

He had intended to tease her, but a look of annoyance was added to her charm when he saw the corner of her mouth curling up slightly and her red lips slightly opened. Her angry face looked even more charming.

Ernie was lost in thought for a moment before he suddenly smiled wickedly and involuntarily lowered his head to kiss her lips.

"Damn it!" With anger, Sylvie struggled violently, with such force that he was almost pushed away. But fortunately he was strong enough to hold her down with a deadly squeeze. The tip of his tongue even penetrated her mouth, stirring her lips and tongue wildly that caused Sylvie to be instantly confused and completely panicked! The man in front of her was not someone who followed common sense, yet, he dared to openly molest herself like this! She was his sister-in-law, how could him be so shameless?

She knew struggling would not work and would provoke him even more. Men were always stronger than women and she could not resist, so she simply did not move and let his tongue penetrate her mouth. Ignoring her reaction, he held her down with one hand and fixed her head with the other while wrapping his body around and deepening the kiss until Sylvie was suffocating and whimpering only then he released her.

He seemed a little surprised by his own reaction. Ernie looked at Sylvie up close and found that she was really a beauty with her good-looking eyebrows and her exquisite features.

He was more interested upon seeing her staring at himself without resisting. "See, I know you are happy with it, how is it? Is my kiss comfortable? Is it better than my cousin? Isn't that quite satisfying to you?" "Only that!" Sylvie snorted coldly, "You are not Marley, there is only one Marley in this world!"

"Is that so?" Ernie snorted coldly, "That's right, there is only one Marley in this world but who is Ernie? Ernie is just a scum, right? Is that what you think in your heart?"

Sylvie gasped and looked at him. There were complex emotions hidden under his eyes at the moment, including clarity, darkness, patience and sadness, but the only thing that was missing was the taste of ruffian.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and she just thought of the kiss just now as experiencing a rescue training of artificial respiration. It was just that he was doing something that really puzzled her and she looked at him, "No one can look down on others but only themselves!"

"Oh really? So that's why you didn't resist me kissing you just now? Is it because you think I'm actually handsome too?" Ernie was back to being a ruffian.

Sylvie asked rhetorically, "Will you let me go if I resist?"

Ernie was such a man who was so evil that Sylvie found him even more difficult to understand than Marley. He always seemed to have a mix of good and evil in his eyes and he changed his face so quickly tha it was impossible for others to guess what he would do. Like now, he was holding her down and kissing her on the side of the road which was impossible for a normal person do that!

"Well! That's true, if you resist, I'm just afraid I'll settle you here directly!" Ernie gave a light hum and showed an evil smile while narrowing his eyes at her. "Sylvie, do you love Marley?" "That's my business!" Sylvie murmured in a low voice. "It has nothing to do with you! Can't you let go of me now?"

Ernie looked at her again and spoke with interest, "No way! You have to tell me, or else I'll kiss you again and make your mouth swell so that you can't go back to do your job! And this would let him think you've been cheating on him with his dear ...cousin!"

Sylvie listened to his words and had no doubt that he would do it, but she could not admit that she loved Marley. She just asked him, "I marry him in order to help the Hughes Group to get through the hard times, does that necessarily mean I love Marley? I think you are different from everyone else, but I don't expect that you are just like the common people who like to judge it all by common sense." "Ooh? So you don't love him?" Ernie raised his eyebrows.

"In this world, there are still many other things apart from love! Like kindness, kinship and friendship, there are so many!"

"The kindness is in your heart! So he has been kind to you and you're devoting your life to him?" He was still looking at Sylvie at such close range, in such an ambiguous gesture, and he, however, liked to talk in this way.

Sylvie didn't move, she didn't deny or admit it.

"Hum! You are a very interesting woman!" Ernie's hands suddenly reached out and squeezed her chest obscenely.

Sylvie was nervous but she didn't move either. She was really afraid that if she moved, he would become even more reckless. So at this point, she could only turn silent.

Ernie laughed when he saw her being nervous but still holding on, "Ah hah! Are you scared? Don't worry, I don't like women who are reluctant, especially you who are my sister-in-law! But I'm really interested in you, maybe you can consider to divorce him and follow me!"

Sylvie listened to his words, not knowing which one was true, so she simply shut her mouth and said nothing but just quietly looking at Ernie.

Ernie smiled lightly then said, "Say you are afraid and I will let you go!"

"No way!" Sylvie stubbornly denied it.

"Fine then!" Ernie pretended to be helplessly distressed, "Then I will begrudgingly be even more shameless and take you up to the mountains for a night tonight!"

"You..." Sylvie was stunned as she thought she had heard wrongly.

Ernie laughed loudly, "Do you want to admit it? Is it so hard to admit that you are afraid?”

"Why?" She frowned slightly and looked at him.

"Why for what?" He didn't understand.

"Is it pleasant to tease me?" She voiced her doubts, "You're not as shameless as rumours outside, and you're not supposed to be an arrogant young man but why do you have to ruin your image to give the wrong impression that you're uneducated? I can see that you actually care about your father's feelings, yet, why do you do something like this to make him sad? Do you carry hatred for the Hughes family, or for the Mccarthy family? You bring me out today, not because of me, but because of Marley, right? Do you hate Marley?"

Upon hearing those words, Ernie's gaze suddenly turned serious and meaningful with his lips curved faintly, "What would you think if I said... I bring you out because I like you?"

"Like?" Sylvie smiled softly. "All I can say is, thanks!"

"Huh!" Ernie laughed again. "Your bluntness is truly disarming! If I wasn't so brazen, I must have been embarrassed by such a polite refusal from you. Sylvie, you're quite interesting and you actually assume that I hate the Hughes Group and the Mccarthy Group? How can I have hatred when I am full of love and have nowhere to give it out? You have the potential to be a screenwriter or novelist. Unfortunately, it's overdone!"

"Is that so?" Sylvie laughed softly.

"Don't you believe me?" Ernie looked at her like that and gave her a smile.

"I don't believe it!"

"How about we kiss again, so you can feel my love which is full of passion? Or we can also have a car sex here, so you can try me out whether mine is better than my cousin or not?" He said it with a serious tone.

Sylvie listened to his words and looked at his face before she suddenly pushed him away violently. Then she pulled open the car door and flew out of the car immediately. "Try it yourself! Goodbye, Mr. Hughes!"

Ernie did not go after him either but sat in the car with his pair of eyes staring at Sylvie who ran down in panic, yet, the corners of his lips showed a touch of playfulness.

When she got out of the car, she only found that there were few cars in the place where it was very close to the Mountain Road. Moreover, it was the end of the day so there were very few taxis. She walked back down the road, hoping to get a car and hurry back home.

She really didn't want to stay there for a moment as there really seemed to be too much suspicion about Ernie.

It was just that there was no car all the time and she got a little anxious.

It was then that she realised that Ernie's car was following her unhurriedly behind and he was driving very slowly and just following.

She picked up her pace while he was not in hurry but still following.

Meanwhile, her phone suddenly rang and she hurriedly took it out of her bag to answer it. It was Marley. As soon as she answered the phone, she heard his low voice, "Sylvie, where are you? Do Ernie go looking for you?"

"I'm at..." Sylvie looked around. "At the intersection which near the Mountain Road in the western suburbs! How do you know?"

"Damn it!" Marley cursed in a low voice, "Where is he?"

"He..." Sylvie glanced at the car behind him again and whispered honestly, "He's following me behind!"

"I'll pick you up in ten minutes!" He said in a deep voice.

"Oh!" Sylvie was nervous initially but due to his words, she relaxed all of a sudden, while the car behind her, still followed her unhurriedly.

She put the phone in her pocket as Ernie's car drove by. The window was slid down and his laughing voice came out, "Sylvie, get in, you can't even get a car! It's going to get dark soon and it would be terrible i you encounter a gangster!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
