Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 653

Chapter 653 Arriving in Seattle

But the day before yesterday, a girl who came to clean accidentally broke Daniel’s beloved vase, and right after that, Aaden took her to the basement.

She faintly heard a few screams, and when she saw the girl again, her hands were broken and she had been thrown at the entrance of the gate.

That night, she kept having nightmares, and in her dreams, she was constantly experiencing the scene of her hand being broken.

This man’s emotions were unpredictable, often flying into a rage over her slightest expression or movement, as if he wished to tear her apart on the spot.

She was terrified, perhaps she would be the next one.

‘Don’t laugh, she never smiles at me,” Daniel said coldly.

Georgia immediately stopped smiling and began to recall what Manuel had taught her earlier. She had learned Ainsley’s expressions, gestures, and the way she spoke.

An hour passed, and when Aaden finally returned, Daniel broke into a smile. “Did you get it?”

Aaden nodded emphatically, “Mr. Hume, it’s been brought over.’

He handed over the agreement, and Daniel casually flipped it open. There, he saw the spot where Ainsley had signed.

Not bad, quite impressive.

He was just about to ask Aaden to leave when he saw Georgia.

He cruelly revealed a smile, pointing at Georgia and said, “One finger.”

Georgia’s face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Daniel in disbelief.

“You, you just said!”

’Can’t I change my mind?” Daniel asked with a playful smile, holding the agreement as he entered the study.

Aaden looked at Georgia coldly, pointing to the door, “Please, Ms. Dawson.”

’Aaden, I don’t want to! I just admitted my mistake and begged for mercy. Please don’t break my fingers.”

Watching the woman cry with tears streaming down her face like raindrops on pear blossoms, Aaden’s expression remained unchanged, and his tone was icy cold. “I must obey Mr. Hume’s orders. You’d better find a piece of cloth to bite on, as I’m afraid you might bite your tongue off in pain later.”

’Don’t do this! Please, don’t!’ Georgia wanted to escape, but her arm was tightly gripped by a hand, as unyielding as a wall of iron and copper. She knew she couldn’t get away.

Aaden gently held her index finger and whispered softly, “Hold back.”

The moment the words fell, a miserable scream rang out. Georgia’s entire body trembled violently, and the pain almost made her faint.

With her legs paralyzed on the ground, Georgia looked desperately in the direction of the gate.

Aaden pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean, saying, “If you don’t like this method, the next one will be even more unbearable for you, like having something as heavy as a hammer smashing down on your fingers.

For instance, being chopped with a knife.” Georgia covered her wound, not daring to move. The piercing pain was unbearable for her.

Aaden left the place, leaving only Georgia behind.

After much thought, she decided to follow the path Aaden had taken earlier to return.

In the study.

Daniel excitedly read the contents of the agreement. From the moment he signed his name, Ainsley became his therapist. She was obligated to help him resolve his psychological issues before they could consider their work complete.

There was just a slight deviation from what he had imagined. In his mind, after signing the agreement, Ainsley would have to immediately start treating him.

However, Ainsley and Manuel are going to Seattle for a dinner party and will be leaving tomorrow, so they’ll have to wait until they return.

The majestic helicopter descended slowly, basking in the rising glow of the dawn, exuding the triumphant aura of a victorious general returning from battle.

The eye-catching R logo on the fuselage is enough to attract the pursuit of many wealthy individuals.

The reason this airplane is so special is not simply because it can be bought by the wealthy and powerful, but because it is a unique masterpiece crafted by the world-renowned Rhoster Group.

Even without considering those advanced systems, the overall structure and equipment are incredibly expensive.

It is said that this airplane once fetched a sky-high price at an auction.

However, just as the price was skyrocketing, the auction was suddenly interrupted, and after that, the airplane disappeared from the market, never to be heard from again.

In response to this, Rhoster Group stated that the designer had created it as a gift for a long-lost friend they hadn’t seen in years.

When Ainsley saw the airplane, they couldn’t help but reveal a shocked expression. They stood there, dumbfounded, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

At that moment, an extraordinarily handsome man stepped off the private plane. The wind generated by the propellers rustled his clothes, yet his overwhelming presence remained undiminished.

Just as the book described, he walked toward her against the light, dazzling my entire youth.

Ainsley blinked her slightly dry eyes, watching Manuel as he walked towards her. The excitement in her chest made her heart race like it had been given a boost.

In order not to embarrass herself, she could only secretly pinch her thigh to restrain her restless heart.

’Beautiful lady, please.” Manuel stood less than a step away from her, his left hand behind his back, his right hand extended to his chest, and a faintly indulgent smile always lingering at the corner of his mouth.

Just a simple gentleman’s opening remark was enough to shatter her rationality.

Ainsley’s face flushed slightly as she leisurely extended her left hand.

Before it could even touch the other person’s, it was already grasped. As their palms met, her heart seemed to tremble through a cycle of emotions.

Seattle’s most famous hotel is located right next to the venue hosting the charity dinner.

Before confirming his attendance at the banquet, Manuel’s assistant had already communicated with the organizers about the participants who would be joining.

Manuel brought his female companion along, so they arranged to stay in a luxurious suite at the hotel.

The suite had two rooms. After putting away their luggage, Manuel stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. From this vantage point, he could see the hotel entrance and the direction of the event venue.

On the coffee table, there was a decanter of well-aerated red wine with wine glasses hanging nearby. Ainsley emerged from their room, picked up two glasses, and handed one to Manuel.

She gazed at the direction of the hotel’s main entrance, where people were everywhere.

Just like the entrance to events attended by various celebrities, there will always be passionate fans.

She stared intently at the direction of the entrance while casually browsing the news online. In the most crowded area, Grace’s fans gathered, holding up their sparkling light signs.

Those fervent fans hadn’t seen the superstar for a long time, so during Grace’s first interaction upon returning to her country, they vowed to create the most extraordinary support for her.

To deal with these enthusiastic fans, the hotel had arranged for many security guards from the very beginning. Now, their services were put to good use as they held up barriers to create a path leading to the hotel entrance.

One by one, luxury cars pulled up to the entrance, having navigated the tightly-packed road. Dressed in casual attire, the celebrities were escorted by their bodyguards into the hotel.

Ainsley was waiting, gently tapping the window with her hand as she set the cup down on the windowsill.

People are already posting updates about Grace’s latest whereabouts online, such as when she’ll be getting off the plane and when she’ll be arriving at the hotel.

The reason those celebrities are wearing casual clothes is because they still need to put on makeup. The purpose of coming to the hotel is to get their makeup done.
