Chapter 26: Chapter 26

The man smiled and said confidently, "I know you don't want to hurt me.

I always knew. You love me so much, how could you possibly hurt me?"

Barbara did not want to hurt anyone, but it was not like what this man said. She just wanted to leave and never see his face again.

Barb …"When he once again stretched out his hand to her, Barbara didn't even think too much but raised the bottle of smoke ash cup in her hand and smashed it towards the man's head.

The man's forehead was cut open and blood was dripping down from it, but he didn't seem to know the pain and continued to smile at her,

"Barb, I know you're still angry at me, so I'll let you hit me. But when your anger is gone, go back with me."

The wound on his forehead was deep, and blood kept flowing out, dripping onto his face, body and hands, but he ignored it, as though his eyes could only contain Barbara.

Barbara was shocked, she shouted, "Clare, you madman, what are you trying to do?"Clare suddenly laughed, "Barb, I like it when you call my name that way.

This is the most real you." He just liked it when she called him by his full name, so domineering and proud, as if he belonged to her.

"Shut up! I never wanted to have anything to do with you in my life." Barbara clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms until she no longer felt any pain.

"Barb, you won't be able to escape. As long as I don't let you go, you'll never be able to escape." Clare smiled, the smile seemed to be filled with pain, but it was also filled with the excitement of being able topeople going in and out.

When she came back to her senses, she she did not know how long it had been before she was taken to the police station.

She was locked up in a small, cold room.The police's voice sounded in her ears, "It was this person that injured Mr. Smith, but for some reason, Mr. Smith is not willing to let her take responsibility for it.

Not only did he not hold her accountable, but also asked us to arrange a private room for her. However, from what I hear from Mr. Smith, he asked us to detain her for two days to teach her a lesson.

The guards continued to discuss with each other, but Barbara did not continue to listen carefully, she knew that Clare was fine and was relieved.

recover from loss. Barbara bit her lips as her body trembled slightly, "Don't even think about …"Clare laughed very confidently, and spoke with a softer tone, "Is there anything I dare not think about? Hmm?"

Barbara clenched her fists even more tightly, because she believed that he would be able to do what he said."Barb, the person I love is you.

It has never changed." He spoke with a smile, but his head was still injured. Not only that, his injuries were not light. Then, he fell to the ground.

Barbara trembled in fear, "Clare..."Maybe because the sound was too loud inside the house, someone finally opened the door and came in. Seeing Clare on the ground after getting injured, the group of people all started to panic.

Barbara heard someone shouting, "Mr. Smith is injured, quickly send him to the hospital."Barbara even heard

someone calling the police, and then she only saw a lot of blood, and saw a lot of Barbara understood his intention for letting her be locked up for a few days.Firstly, he wanted to let her know that she was just a small employee of the Wing.

She hurt him, but he didn't pursue her criminal responsibility.

He only locked her up for two days, which was a huge gift from him.Secondly,

he had to let her know, whether she was in Capital City or Barcelona, as long as he was not willing to let go, she, Barbara, would not be able to escape from his grasp.

Remembering Clare's arrogant words, what made Barbara sad was not that she was unable to escape from Clare's grasp,

but that the members of the Jones family were unwilling to part with him.The Jones family used to be a literary family, which made it respected by others.

By the time this generation of Barbara's father, the reputation of the Jones family had long since declined

.Barbara's father was not willing to see the reputation of the Jones family decline just like that, so he tried to find ways to contact the circle of famous people.

Thus, overnight, the Jones family, whose fame had long since declined in Capital City, had once again entered the circle of celebrities in Capital City after embarking on the large ship called the Smith family.

Not only that, his father even sold the old mansion left behind by the ancestors of the Jones family as well as some precious paintings.

He spent money to buy a villa near the Smith family's villa. Their villa was much smaller than the others, but at least it was a pleasure for her father to be able to squeeze into a rich neighborhood.Unknowingly,

the Jones family had become a parasite that relied on the Smith family for survival. The eldest young master of the Smith family was naturally their target.

After what had happened in the past, her parents had no objections. The Smith family had said whatever it was, and the Smith family had said whatever they wanted to do.

The Smith family no longer valued her, Barbara. Naturally, she became the useless child of the Jones family.Now, after three years,

Clare still had the nerve to come find her and ask if she could go back with him. Barbara found it funny just by thinking about it.

She was laughing at the Jones family for being useless, and she was also laughing at herself for being so useless.

How could she allow someone she should have forgotten a long time ago to provoke her anger, and even accidentally injure him?She wrapped her arms around her,

burying her head in her lap as if that would make her heart feel less uncomfortable and less cold."Mr. Zero, why are you here personally?"

The guard's respectful and panicked voice reached Barbara's ears, but she was not in the mood to care about it.

She still hugged her legs and locked herself in her own space.As long as she didn't pay attention to the outside world or the people who hurt her,

she wouldn't be covered in injuries again.An especially loud slap broke the silence in the room, followed by a deep and angry roar from the middle—aged man,

"How dare you to lock her up!"The guard was alarmed and wronged, "Mr. Zero, it's not us, it's Mr. Smith.

The Smith family …"Before the man could finish his words, the middle—aged man roared angrily, "You still dare to quibble?

Open the door immediately, Miss Jones, please come out!"Immediately after, Barbara heard the sound of running, unlocking the door, and then heard the respectful tone of the middle—aged man,

"Mr.Young, it's my men who were in competent, please forgive us."Hearing the words "Mr.Young", Barbara's body trembled slightly.

She slowly raised her head and saw Leo standing in front of the middle—aged man.He was still dressed in his handmade, silver—gray suit, with a polite smile on his face.

Leo only nodded, without saying anything to the middle—aged man who was bowing to him, he walked towards Barbara.

He took large strides to Barbara's side, stroked her head, and softly called her name, "Barbara …"Leo's voice was gentler than any other time Barbara had ever heard it, causing her to feel that the anger she had just seen had never appeared.
