NOVPUBChapter 1314: 601 Creation_1 Chapter 1314: 601 Creation_1 “It’s you!”
Upon seeing the beautiful face beneath the umbrella, Dustin Drake’s mind gave a jolt as if he was struck by a thunderbolt on a clear day.
A few days ago, he had sent his secretary to carry out a task.
He hired an assassin from TW to kill someone at any cost, and the person must be killed.
Once, it filled him with regret thinking of such beauty dying.
But if he did not kill her, he wouldn’t be able to account to Madam.
Everything he has now was given to him by Madam, and he could not disobey her commands.
The girl who supposed to have died at the hands of the assassin was now standing unscathed before him exhibiting a sight of horror.
...
The assassin from TW had actually failed!
At this moment, he himself didn’t whether to be amazed or angry.
“Seeing me must be a disappointment, right?” The girl looked down at him from a higher ground.
Her beautiful eyes were void of any emotion, like a stagnant pool of water with no ripples.
Once the initial shock passes Dustin quickly collected himself and scoffed, “This is Coral Island, not Pethkids.
What can you do to me?
You think you can manage to get out of Coral Island?”
Jobelle Callum chimed in from one side, “That’s right.
You won’t manage to get off Coral Island alive.”
“I won’t do anything, after all, the one to punish you is the law and those people you have wronged.”
“You ranting…
I warn you, don’t be so arrogant, this is not Pethkids where you can do as you please…”
Jayden Moore noticed the slightly furrowed eyebrows of Aubree Groove and took a step forward stuffing a dirty sock into Dustin’s mouth, putting an end to his string of vulgar words.
“Mistress, this despicable guy should be taught a lesson or else he will never realize his flaws.”
With the approval of Aubree, Jayden picked up Dustin as easily as lifting a chicken and walked away.
By the time Jobelle could react and tried to chase, Jayden and Dustin had already disappeared.
Jobelle was so worked up that she was going mad.
She had never been humiliated like this in her life before.
She immediately called her father, crying, “Dad, hurry up, I am being bullied.”
Joshua Drake instinctively moved closer to Nicholas Drake and whispered, “Edward, are you okay?”
Nicholas raised his eyebrow, a smile naturally formed on his lips as his gaze landed on Aubree.
“I’m fine.”
Granny Drake took one step forward, “Young lady, are you Edward’s friend?”
She usually led a simple life and devoted her time to practicing Buddhism.
Consequently, she is unaware of the world outside and even less about the fame Aubree holds in Jimenez.
Aubree went up and greeted her with a polite and confident tone, “Granny Drake, nice to meet you.
I hope you don’t mind the abrupt meeting.”
Granny Drake’s eyesight wasn’t so good.
It wasn’t until the girl walked closer before she could see her face clearly and couldn’t help but gasp.
“Young lady, your face….”
She practices Buddhism every day, not just to atone for the sins of her descendants, but also she has developed some understanding and insight.
The eyebrows were glowing, soft as silk, eyelashes like the bullocks, eye color of dark blue, high and full cheeks, they collectively symbolize a beautiful appearance perceived by a privileged soul.
The privileged are those who reap the benefit of goodwill, joy, and giving to others.
Encountering someone with this appearance, ensures the eradication of sins from countless past lives.
Granny Drake’s demeanor immediately became reverent, “Young lady, you have a great Buddha-like countenance, you must have a destiny with Buddha.”
The girl slightly smiled, “there are no such things as the appearance of a person, the appearance of self, the appearance of living beings, the appearance of lifespan.”
Granny Drake looked enlightened: “Young lady, you …”
“My name is Aubree Groove, since I was young I have been practicing at the Silent Moon Temple on Whitehead Mountain.
My master is Empty-headed Master.
I hope you won’t take offense at anything inappropriate I may say,” Aubree cut her off. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Granny Drake was surprised to find out that this young girl was also a practitioner like her, she quickly took a few steps forward, her demeanor full of excitement, “I’m sorry for not recognizing you sooner, master.”
Listening to two people talking in riddles, Joshua’s head was about to explode.
“Who could have guessed, the young master would be friends with Edward, this is a blessing for Edward.”
People only see her extraordinary beauty but fail to see the exceptional Buddha bones underneath.
Such full Buddha-like countenance and Buddha bones belong to someone with great merits, surely someone with a promising future.
Becoming friends with these kinds of people, isn’t it a blessing for Edward?
Joshua sneakily nudged Nicholas’s arm, a teasing smile stretched across his face.
Nicholas ignored it casually and seemed to be unaware of it.
“Stop right there, don’t you dare take another step.” Seeing Granny Drake so amiable towards the woman who had assaulted her husband, Jobelle’s anger surged and she rushed forward blocking everyone’s path.
“Grandmother, how can you be so partial?
Dustin is your own grandson!
He was so humiliated and yet you don’t seem worried.
Instead, you are cozying up to her, your indifference to our feelings really disappoints us.”
The smile on Granny Drake’s face slowly faded away.
She looked emotionlessly at the woman in front of her.
Her silent gaze exuded an overwhelming pressure, a pressure that an old woman like her could exert was not something Jobelle could resist easily.
Just as expected, Jobelle flinched.
Aubree young master, what wrong did Dustin do to you?
Speak frankly and clearly, to prevent these evil-hearted people from taking advantage of the situation.”
Aubree raised an eyebrow, “It’s nothing big, Dustin just hired some assassins and used Joshua to try to assassinate me.
I was lucky, and avoided the worst.”
“You…
you’re talking nonsense,” Jobelle retorted.
“What evidence do you have to prove that Dustin hired an assassin to kill you?
I’m going to sue you for defamation.”
At this time, a young girl with a cherubic face stepped forward, looking at Jobelle with a smile, “Looking for evidence, huh?
Then wait for the subpoena from the court.
It shouldn’t be too long, just these two days.”
She grabbed Jobelle’s arm and casually dragged her away, “Miss Callum, our Mistress has had a long and tiring journey and needs a good rest.
If you have anything to say, say it to me.”
Jobelle could only watch as Aubree walked away, anger coursing through her and yet she could do nothing.
She turned her anger towards Dallyn, “Damn, who the hell does this Mistress think she is…”
Before she could finish, she was met with a slap.
The slap was strong enough to make her head jerk to one side, the taste of blood spread in her mouth, ringing filled her ears.
Dallyn shook her slightly hurting hand, raised her chin and said calmly, “Watch your mouth, if I ever hear you insult our Mistress again, it won’t end with just a slap.”
The surrounding servants of the Drake family who had yet to disperse dropped their jaws at the scene.
Madam, relying on her family background, had been domineering in the Drake family.
Granny Drake turned a blind eye to worldly affairs, she increasingly acted unbridled and marginalized the second Madam of the Drake family.
The Drake family servants were long filled with indignation but dared not express it.
Now that they saw Jobelle getting slapped, they were torn between feeling horrified and satisfied.
“You..
How dare you hit me?” The impact had made Jobelle’s speech a bit unclear.
Her wide-eyed stare was full of disbelief, as if some unimaginable incident had occurred.
“Are you some sort of royal person that I need to pick a special day to hit you?
You’re thinking too highly of yourself.
Don’t come in front of our Mistress and make a fool of yourself.”
