CHAPTER 11 Protocol

  She was about to speak, but stopped herself.

  If her mother's death was indeed a result of foul play, and if it was somehow connected to Hawthorne, then she could only rely on Ruslan to uncover the truth.

  Seeing Lucie remain silent, Ruslan said to Jorah, "I'll leave this to you. I'll take her back."

  The car stopped, and Lucie realized that Ruslan had brought her back to his villa.

  She knew what her silence meant tonight, and what Ruslan wanted from her.

  Ruslan got out of the car, opened the door for Lucie, and seeing her sitting there without moving, he smirked and asked with a laugh, "Are you scared now?"

  Hearing this, Lucie looked up and met his dark eyes. She smiled slightly and said, "No, I just haven't made up my mind yet."

  She wasn't sure if she wanted to make a deal with this man in front of her.

  "Well, then let's go inside and think about it." He said with a smile as he put his arm around her waist and led her towards his villa.
