Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!
Chapter 1378 You Know Me?

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the surprise on Samuel's face, Nicole wondered if that something serious had happened and hurried to ask.

Samuel shook his head and said, "Booth is in the palace of Country F."

"What? Why is he there?"

Nicole was taken aback.

Things were quite difficult in Country F now. With all kinds of people there, any careless misstep could cause Booth his life. Why was he here at this time? Samuel was also caught off guard.

When Samuel handed over the foreign business to Booth, he did it in case the treatment would take too long and Booth would think nonsense. That was why he decided to keep Booth busy with the work. Late on, Booth was proved to be a business genius. He managed the foreign business in an orderly manner. So Samuel was sure to delegate. It had been a long time since he asked about Booth's performance and decisions. However, he never expected that the foreign country Booth went to would be Country F.

Nicole was even anxious.

Olivia was her best friend and the only one she had been sorry to in her life. Now that Booth was in Country F, how could Nicole explain to Olivia if something terrible happened to him?

"No. We have to bring him out. Booth must not be in the palace now. Furthermore, Leo may know him. If he finds out about his whereabouts, it would be a disaster."

Nicole frowned in worry.

That was when Davon's text message came.

"The whole Country F is having heavy security and searching for Booth. They will kill him immediately the moment they find him. It's said that Booth has seduced Princess Sienna and taken advantage of her for something that outraged Leo. Sienna was grounded under house arrest, and one of her fingers is broken. No one knows where Booth is now. If you can get in touch with him, tell him not to run around. If he goes out now, he will die."

Davon and Phoenix couldn't stay in the room for too long. Moreover, Phoenix was a sophisticated fighter. So not long after, she woke up. She couldn't help but think more about it when she saw Davon lay beside her while her clothes were in a mess. Automatically, she was ready to slap Davon in the face. But Davon was not as delicate as he looked. He subdued Phoenix the moment she made a move and pressed her under his body.

"Believe it or not, I'll rape you if you make another move. Inez, don't challenge my tolerance for you."

Davon's eyes were sharp. For a moment, he did get Phoenix stiffened. By the time she collected herself, Davon had already picked her up sideways and walked out of the room.

The air outside had changed. Everyone was frightened. And those who had mocked Phoenix no longer paid much attention to her. When Phoenix and Davon come out, they just cast them some casual glances.

Helen hurried forward and repeated Leo's words. Phoenix's eyes narrowed.

"Booth Kent is here?"

Because of Samuel, Phoenix kept an eye on people close to Nicole and naturally had investigated them. She knew that Booth was Nicole's friend and had broken his legs for Nicole's sake. Later, he was sent abroad by Samuel for treatment and was also taking care of Samuel's business there.

Samuel's business empire was huge. Phoenix had her concerns, so for a long time, she made sure that her people kept a close watch on Booth. After discovering that he was indeed a business genius, she fel relieved and withdrew her people. But she did not expect Booth to actually come to Country F.

Why was he here making things worse?

Phoenix wanted to curse.

Davon was informed by Helen. With no time to hide it from Phoenix, he sent a message to Samuel directly.

When Davon took out his phone to send a message, Phoenix subconsciously glanced over and realized that Davon was texting Samuel. She was a little surprised. Then she remembered that Davon seemed to be Mr. Green's man.

So she didn't need to send Mr. Green another message, did she?

At the thought of it, Phoenix felt somewhat relieved. But somehow she was dejected as well.

It turned out that this shameless man worked for Mr. Green. How could Mr. Green have such a guy around him?

She jumped off Davon's arms angrily. Just as she was about to walk away, she heard Davon say, "Go back to the Sawyer' with me."

"Why? I am Princess Inez!"

Phoenix thought that Davon was simply too arrogant and was going too far.

The previous horrible thing he had done to her aside, how dare he order her like that now? Who did he think he was?

Davon ignored her and fished out his phone to call Kim.

"Tell Leo that if Inez comes to the Sawyer's with us, we will consider investing in the military research."

With that, Davon hung up the phone.

If Phoenix had doubted Davon's identity, now she did believe that the man in front of her was Davon Sawyer.

He was the ruler of the Sawyer family, the true patriarch of the family.

"Davon, let me tell you, I am an independent individual. Not to mention my father, even if the most influential people in the world can never force me to do anything I don't want to do."

"Is that so?"

Davon let out a faint smile. The man's bewitching look brought Phoenix up short.

Then Davon suddenly reached out and knocked Phoenix unconscious with his hand.

"What a wild cat. It's such a pity. Unfortunately, no one can say no when I ask for something or someone."

Davon caught Phoenix's falling body, almost scaring the hell out of the maid standing next to them.

What did the Sawyer's assistant just say?

He said he was Davon Sawyer?

Then who was that patriarch of the Sawyer family at the state banquet?

Seeing Helen's pale face, Davon smiled and said, "Do you want to follow me back to the Sawyer's to serve your Princess Inez, or am I going to silence you for good? Choose one yourself."

His smile was warm and pleasant, but Helen broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'll serve the princess."

Who would choose to die if they could be alive?

Judging from the way Davon treated Phoenix, Helen didn't doubt that if she didn't follow him, what awaited her would be a dagger or a bullet. The death of a nobody like her wouldn't result in any complaint from the king.

"I like the smart ones. Let's go, then. The Sawyer family has everything, so there's no need to pack up for your princess."

Just as he was speaking, Samuel's texted him back.

"Booth is in the palace of Country F. Bring him out somehow."

Davon frowned and whispered, "Trouble."

After that, he looked at Helen, his eyes twinkling.

Helen felt as if some invisible hands had been strangling her. She was having difficulty breathing, but she did not dare to move.

"Mr. Davon, what do you want me to do?"

Helen didn't know Davon's title, so she could only call him Mr. Davon.

Grinning, Davon seemed to be harmless. But Helen knew that was just an illusion.

She was more worried.

"On second thought, I guess you still need to pack up some of the princess' underwear. After all, I don't know her size very well. Take me to her palace and pack up everything that can be taken away. We're going back to the Sawyer's soon."

"But we haven't heard from the king."

Helen knew that she couldn't afford to offend the man in front of her. But as a maid in the palace, if she wanted to leave the palace with the princess, she must have oral or written permission from the king. Just as she was speaking, a messenger trotted over. When he saw Davon, he said respectfully and flatteringly, "Sir, the king asked you to kindly bring Princess Inez to the Sawyer's for a few days." "Alright. No problem. I was just going with this maid to Princess Inez's to pack up her stuff. Would you please tell our patriarch that I'll be waiting for him in the car outside?" Davon wouldn't bother to go to the banquet and deal with Leo and the others.

"Sure."

In the eyes of outsiders, Davon was the most favored assistant of the Patriarch of the Sawyer family, so they treated him with great respect.

Davon took over Leo's written order with a smile and cast a glance at Helen. The maid understood immediately and led Davon towards the Phoenix's palace.

"Have Booth send me his location."

Davon sent a message to Samuel quickly.

Not long after, Booth's location was on his phone.

Realizing that it was Sally's palace, Davon cursed silently before entering Phoenix's palace with Helen.

"Is there any way to get to Ms. Sally's palace? I'm talking about the one by which no one can see us."

Davon asked Helen straightforwardly and sent Helen in a dilemma of not knowing whether she should tell him.

"Huh?"

In no time, Helen felt the pressure from Davon. Before she knew it, a scalpel was dancing in his hand. The cold light of it resulted in Helen covered in a cold sweat.

"Princess Inez has a secret passage to get there. But it's her secret."

"She is going to be mine, let alone her secret."

With that, Davon whistled. A man popped out from nowhere, starling Helen.

"Who is it?"

"My people."

Davon replied in an indifferent tone before ordering the man, "Go to the Ms. Sally's from this secret passage with this maid. Bring Booth to me and use our relationship to bring him out of the palace." "Consider it done, Mr. Davon."

With that, the man looked at Helen.

Since Helen couldn't go back on her word now, she could only follow Davon's orders.

Not long after, Booth and Karina were brought over. Booth was surprised when he saw Davon, who he had never met personally.

"Special Assistant Davon?"

"You know me?"

Davon was intrigued in no time.

Although Davon was now known as the special assistant of the patriarch of the Sawyer family, it was not that any unimportant people could get to see or meet him. But Booth did recognize him with a single glance. It was clear that Booth had paid attention to Davon or even had had Davon's background checked. In comparison, Davon didn't know anything about Booth.

The only thing Davon knew was that Booth was Samuel's man.

Booth chuckled and said, "I'm a businessman. I'm here to expand my business. So of course, I need to know my potential client."

"A businessman? Interesting."

Davon gave him a significant look and said evenly, "Let's go out first. Nicole and Samuel are very worried about you outside. And Leo has given an order that you're killed on sight. You'd better lay low now and just follow me."

"Alright."

Booth had no objection to this. To be exact, he was going to see Nicole, and he didn't want any other troubles.

Davon glanced at Karina, who was standing beside Booth, and asked, "Is she yours?"

"Yes. Mine."

As he spoke, Booth took Karina's hand. Karina's heart swelled with happiness at the certainty in Booth's tone.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
