100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 826  Should Have Gotten Rid of Her

Day Eighty-Eight…

"Miss Jane!" Chantha excitedly called her when they met in the hallway.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Are you back with our Supreme Leader?" She asked her blatantly.

Jane smiled at her. "I think so. Because I'm not going to marry Vincent. I'm done pretending."

Chantha chuckled giddily. "Oh my gosh. That's good news." She grabbed Jane's hands as she jumped like a kid.

"By the way, I also have good news to share with you." Chantha leaned closer and whispered, "Axel and I are getting married. I'll send you an invitation soon."

Jane was happy for Chantha and Axel. "Congratulations, Dear. I wish you all the best." "Thank you. Please attend my wedding. It's just a simple ceremony with our closest friends. I consider you my friend! You, Hanabi, Cherry, and Abigail! I'll send them my invitation too. I'm quite busy so I don't have time to share this with them."

Jane was touched by her words. "Don't worry. I'll tell them about this good news."

Chantha nodded before saying goodbye to Jane. She and her team were still busy tracking Monica.

After talking to Chantha, Jane headed to Nathan's office. But to her surprise, she didn't see him inside.

"Where is he?" She felt a little bit disappointed. She was running out of time. She had to leave the Syphiruz Mafia's headquarters soon in order to meet her family. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Little did she know that Nathan was talking to Monica and listening to her demands.

"Have you seen your Supreme Leader?" Jane asked the member who passed by Nathan's office.

"I saw him heading to the rooftop and talking to someone on the phone." Jane nodded in response before following Nathan. By the time she reached the rooftop, Nathan was done talking to someone. He just stood there while gazing at the space blankly. It looked like he was in a deep thought.

"A penny for your thought?" Jane's voice snapped him back to the present.

He masked his troubles with a faint smile. Then he grabbed Jane, positioning her in front of him while hugging her from behind.

"How's your talk with Butler Li?" he asked her.

"It's good. I've given him a chance to repent and reflect on his actions. I also forgave him. I don't want to hold any grudges. I know he's a good man. If he weren't, he would've already harmed you and Ethan."

Nathan tightened his grip on her body. He didn't expect that Jane would easily forgive Butler Li after what she had gone through.

"I understand." Nathan placed his chin over her shoulder as he continued hugging her from behind.

"How about you? Why are you here? Who called you earlier?" she asked, her curiosity piqued. Her eyes searched his face for any hint of news. Deep down, she was anxious that the call had brought some sort of update on Ethan's whereabouts. She was aware that they were still searching for Ethan and Monica. She was a little bit worried that her upcoming encounter with Monica might get interrupted if Nathan's men intervened.

"Oh, it's nothing important," Nathan lied. Jane failed to notice the shift in his expression. "Nate, I have to go. I need to visit my family today." Jane started to say goodbye to Nathan. She was reluctant to leave but she had no choice.

She slowly turned to face him, her eyes locking onto his while her fingers caressed his cheeks. For a long moment, she stood there, silently studying every detail of his face. It was as if she were trying to memorize every line, every feature, engraving him into her memory.

Nathan also did the same thing to her. He also captured the essence of the woman standing before her. There was an ache in his heart knowing they would get separated again today.

"Tomorrow, let's make sure to meet each other like this. Okay?" Nathan softly asked her, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. "Everything will be fine," he added meaningfully.

Jane just nodded, trying her best to control her conflicting emotions. After a few seconds, Jane tiptoed as she kissed him on the lips. It was a long passionate kiss that made them both breathless.

Jane was about to leave but Nathan pulled her once again, wrapping her into his arms. He was also reluctant to let her go. He didn't know why but he was feeling uneasy today.

"Hmm, Nate. It's time for me to leave. Let go now, otherwise I won't be able to leave you," she teased him, hiding her true emotions.

Nathan also chuckled at her remarks. "I'm sorry. I just can't get enough of you. I'm still missing you."

Jane chose to stay silent, unsure of what to say. Deep inside, she didn't want this moment to end. It felt so good to be with Nathan. However, there was this harsh reality– Ethan still needed to be rescued. As much as she longed to hold Nathan and stay with him, she knew that their future happiness depended on Ethan's safety. Only then, they could truly be at peace and live happily as one family. 'This is farewell for now, Nate,' she thought to herself as they finally broke the hug.

As Jane walked away, Nathan just watched her retreating back. When she vanished from his sight, his soft expression a while ago was replaced by cold demeanor. He looked at his phone, gripping it tightly.

'I have to save Ethan first. I have to deal with Monica.'

Meanwhile, at Vincent's secret villa, the atmosphere was tense as Phoenix and the guards stood in a line, facing Vincent's fury. His voice echoed through the room, sharp with anger. He just found out that Jane had disappeared from his villa after receiving Butler Li's message.

"You're all useless!" Vincent shouted, his eyes blazing with rage as he glared at each one of them. "How could you let her slip away right under your noses?!"

The guards flinched under his harsh tone, but no one dared speak. Phoenix also remained silent, knowing that if he said any excuse it would only further fuel Vincent's anger.

"I don't care what it takes," Vincent continued, "Track Monica's location. If you don't find her, there will be consequences." His threat hung in the air, making it clear he was more than willing to punish them all if they failed again.

His sharp gaze brought a chill to their spines as his eyes darted from one guard to another.

"Yes, Boss! We are going to find Monica!" They responded in unison.

"Phoenix, come with me and bring our elite men! Jane will be in danger. She is currently at Syphiruz Mafia. We have to go there and tail her secretly."

"Got it, Boss." Phoenix finally found his voice, responding to Vincent's command.

Vincent didn't waste any more time as he prepared to leave. He made sure to bring different weapons. All he could think of was protecting Jane against Monica's scheme.

'You are being reckless, Jane! Why did you agree to meet Monica alone?! She will kill you for sure!' Vincent couldn't hide his worry and concern for Jane's safety. 'I should have gotten rid of Monica!'
