The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1458

On the other hand, Victoria felt that she was completely ignored. The more she watched them, the more she felt that they were displaying their affections to each other.

Her expression couldn't help but change at this scene.

"You bitch! You're still seducing people in front of me."

No one knew where Victoria got the courage to slap Haniya in the face.

As Haniya was caught off guard, she did not dodge and received a firm slap on her face.

Desmond's expression suddenly darkened when he saw this.

Suddenly, he had already arrived in front of Victoria without anyone realizing it. He then gave Victoria two slaps, which made her dizzy, and she fell to the ground. The next moment, Desmond dragged her up by the collar and held her neck with one hand. Thus, Victoria couldn't help but feel a little scared as she couldn't breathe.

Desmond's movements were swift, so Haniya was amazed by them.

She knew that Desmond was very good at fighting. Desmond did not hold back his skills when they were undergoing the special training. Furthermore, Desmond had incomparable speed because of his unique blood. Thus, Even though Haniya knew of this, she was still astounded when she saw how he had moved at the speed of light.

On the other hand, Desmond did not see Haniya's admiration for him. He said coldly, "In the past, for Marissa's sake, I used to overlook all the things that you did to me, and I even wanted to take care for you for the rest of your lives. But you took it for granted, so I no longer feel guilty towards you. So even if Marissa blames me, even if I have to go to hell, I don't care anymore! This is all because you thought of something you should never have, and you harmed someone you should have never touched!"

His words were cold and heartless, and he had said these words without a trace of warmth. Hence, Victoria was so terrified that she screamed immediately.

"Desmond, you dare to kill me? How dare you do this to me? I'm warning you... Ahh!"

Before Victoria could finish her words, Desmond grabbed her hair and said coldly, "When I still felt guilty towards you, you could do whatever you want. Unfortunately, I've decided to stop caring about you, so what if I kill you? Don't you want to see who is more important to Jose? Is it me or you?"

After saying that, Desmond tightened his grip on Victoria again and raised his voice.

"Jose, let Haniya go, or I'll kill your wife!"

After hearing this, Victoria seemed to have found someone to rely on and cried out loudly, "Jose, save me! Save me!"

Jose finally came out when he heard this.

THen, Haniya and Desmond looked at Jose. He seemed to be much younger than before and was no longer cowardly. Instead, he had a dominating aura around him.

He looked at Desmond as his eyes gleamed, and it was as if he was imagining the power and money that he could get out of Desmond.

As long as his research on Desmond's blood was successful, he would become a world-famous genetics researcher, and his name would live on forever.

Right now, Desmond saw fanaticism in Jose's eyes.

Perhaps many years ago, he had also looked at his own parents like this.

Suddenly, when Desmond recalled how his parents had died a miserable death, his expression darkened.

"Jose, it's up to you whether you want your wife or Haniya."

"Jose, save me! Kill him! Kill this b*stard!"

Victoria shouted, but she saw Jose take out a pistol with a silencer and fire at her heart the next moment.

Everything happened so suddenly that Haniya could not react. However, she saw Victoria fall to the ground like a rag doll with a trace of disbelief in her eyes.

However, Desmond was indifferent, as if everything was within his expectations.

THen, Jose sneered and said, "This bitch only gave me a daughter, who unfortunately died young! She was so useless, but she ordered me around every day and even forgotten her identity. Hah! I've been wanting to kill her for some time now. Furthermore, she mistreated you, didn't she? I have taken revenge for you now! Desmond, don't you think I treat you very well? So do you want to come over to my side? I could give you so much money that you would be the richest man in the world! You no longer need to work for Nathaniel. Don't you want a life like this?"

"This should be how you want to live."

Then, Desmond clapped his hands and said flatly, "You are an ambitious person in reality. Also, you endured everything because you didn't have an opportunity! But now that you have the chance to do so, you'll never let it go, right? You weren't a good husband or a good father towards Victoria and Marissa, and you are not even a decent human. You only care about your research, and the joy you have comes from your hope of becoming a famous person after your research is successful. Hah! So don't say lavish words like you are taking revenge for me. You're such a hypocrite, so you can just say that you are doing this for yourself. I'm more curious about who is the person behind you. After all, not many people have enough money to sponsor your experiments."

Jose's expression darkened a little when he heard what Desmond had said."

"Since you want to know, come to my side. If so, you will know eventually."

"Sorry, I am not interested in your research. I am tired of being a lab rat, so don't even think of controlling me!"

Desmond refused immediately.

Then, Jose's face turned pale when he heard this.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill her? Hah! I know you well. Given your personality, even if you don't love her, you won't want her to die for you, right?" Haniya's heart hurt slightly when she heard what Jose had said.

Was that so?

She had cared about Desmond previously, so did. his attitude change because he thought that he owed her too much?

At this thought, the light in Haniya's eyes dimmed.

Meanwhile, Desmond saw this scene and said angrily, "You idiot!"

However, no one knew if he was scolding Jose or Haniya.

Jose frowned slightly when he heard this. Obviously, he didn't like this word very much.

"Desmond, you'd better accept it while I'm still being nice to you, or else..."

"Or what?"

While speaking, Desmond exchanged looks with Haniya.

As Haniya had spent some time with Desmond, she immediately knew what his glance meant, so she came to her senses immediately. In the split second when Desmond attacked Jose, Haniya lowered her head and bashed into the mercenary holding her captive behind her.

The mercenary was suddenly hit in the nose, and the soreness made him stunned for a moment. After that, Haniya immediately took this opportunity to attack him.

"Catch them!"

On the other hand, Jose immediately retreated when he saw how the tables had turned. Unfortunately, Desmond had his eyes on him and wouldn't allow Jose to escape. Instead, he went up to Jose and grabbed him by the collar to capture him.

At the same time, Nathaniel's men, who were lying in wait, immediately ambushed them.

Therefore, a fight broke out immediately.

Meanwhile, Desmond gripped Jose in one hand and pulled Haniya with the other before whispering, "Let's retreat!"

Haniya was slightly stunned by his slightly cool hand. However, when she had been caught off guard, a mercenary had already attacked her. Desmond's heart tightened when he saw this, and he pulled Haniya into his arms immediately before kicking the enemy out with a spin. "What are you thinking? Anyone can attack you right now if you're distracted! Was the special training all for naught? Let's go!"

Desmond then gave Haniya a push while saying this. After pushing her out of the battle zone, he pulled back Jose, who was about to escape.

Meanwhile, Haniya staggered and fell to the ground because of Desmond's push. Her knee was scratched, and she felt a burning pain, but she was so angry inside.

She was furious at Desmond for being so straightforward!

Why did she torture herself by falling in love with this fool?

Meanwhile, when her subordinates saw Haniya falling, he quickly ran over.

"Captain Bell, are you all right? Let me help you up."

However, Haniya waved her hand and stood up. Then, Desmond came over with Jose and whispered, "Get in the car quickly. Let's go!"

Then, Desmond dragged Jose and walked past Haniya without checking on her.

Haniya gritted her teeth in anger at this scene.

What a fool!

He was pissing her off!

She would never like this idiot again!

Haniya was deeply hurt right now. After Desmond opened the door and pushed Jose into the car, he glanced at Haniya while asking her to get into the

car.

However, Haniya didn't even look at him and got into her subordinate's car instead.

Desmond's expression darkened when he saw this.

Did she finally learn how to throw a temper?

However, Desmond could not care about anything else as he couldn't allow Jose to escape. Instead, he quickly locked the door and stepped on the accelerator before driving away. "Follow Desmond's car!"

Although Haniya was angry, she was afraid that someone would stop their car halfway. After all, Jose was too important to them.

The two cars drove towards the city center. But when they were about to enter the city, Desmond saw there were roadblocks in front. It seemed that someone was checking the cars.

At this time, although the other party was wearing police uniforms, Desmond felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

Since the other party dared to bring the mercenaries into Ocean City, they could bribe someone easily to set up an obstacle here. Once the car stopped, it would be easy for so many people to take Jose away.

At this thought, Desmond called Haniya, but Haniya's phone was turned off. He then remembered that Haniya would bring her other phone when she was on a mission. So did that mean that when Haniya turned off her phone at first, she was already on a mission?

Suddenly, he recalled when he and Haniya were still in the Ye's Mansion at that time, Haniya didn't tell him about this mission at all. Therefore, he was a little depressed.

Then, he redialed Haniya's phone number.

When Haniya saw Desmond's call, she also knew that it was not the time for her to be angry and throw a tantrum, so she picked it up immediately."

"I'll take care of the roadblocks ahead. You take your men and leave first."

The two of them understood each other well. At this time, Haniya did not wait for Desmond to speak and said immediately, "Mr. Ye has sent people to pick you up in the downtown area. As long as you enter the downtown area, you will be safe. I will send Brenda to follow you."

"You be careful too."

After hearing Desmond's words, Haniya felt warmth in her heart. Did this mean that he actually cared about her?

However, she didn't expect Desmond to add, "If

you come back with injuries, I'll punish you."

The corner of Haniya's mouth twitched when she heard this, and then she hung up the phone angrily.

Urgh! He was such a straightforward man!

She would pass out in fury if she continued talking to him right now!

After that, Haniya looked at the people in front who set up the roadblocks. She suddenly felt that this situation was unpleasant, and she became even more furious when she recalled how Desmond had talked to her coldly.

At this thought, she stepped on the gas pedal directly and rushed toward the roadblocks recklessly. Meanwhile, Desmond's heart skipped a beat when he saw her decisive look, and he felt uneasy.
