NovelEnglishChapter 1686: Turning Enemies
After a moment of tenderness, Vicki sat up straight from the bed as she dressed. Suddenly, Felix held her wrist.
Evidently, his disheveled breath had not yet calmed. Earlier, they had only hastily finished, far from complete satisfaction in body
and mind. His arm wrapped around her waist, embracing her.
"Just stay a little longer," he pleaded.
Vicki put on the specially made metal wristwatch from the bedside while glancing at the time.
"No, | can't. It's tforto leave."
Felix's eyes dimmed. They hadn't used protection earlier, indicating that she truly intended to have a child with him. When he
entered, he even noticed a bottle of folic acid on the table. He had heard that women planning to conceive took it.
He couldn't understand why, if that were the case, she still treated him with indifference. He couldn't bear her coldness and could
only see a glimpse of her passion and confusion when they were intimate, making him believe that she was a woman with warmth.
He held her tightly and asked as he faced her back, "Is it because of OGW?"
Vicki's spine stiffened. How did he know?
When did he find out?
Seeing her reaction, Felix got up from the bed, still in his pajamas, and embraced her from behind.
"OGW is active in Khebury. Do you really think I'm oblivious to everything while drowning my sorrows every day? Have you
forgotten what the Saunders family used to do? Just because we're not in the underworld doesn't mean we're unaware of what's
happening there. Whenever | want to know, | can find out anytime."
Vicki's gaze changed. "Even if you know, it's none of your business."
She was about to stand up.
Felix used force to restrain her. He also knew judo, although he certainly didn't have as much combat experience as her, but he
was still a man with strength. Besides, she didn't want to hurt him.
So she didn't move, allowing him to hold her captive.
"You said you have five more minutes and you have to go. You have to meet someone. It's important.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFelix furrowed his brow. "OGW's people? Vicki, I've never asked about your past. | respect you and have always wanted you to tell
He forcefully turned Vicki's sharp chin towards him, and his thin lips harshly met her cold ones. He angrily nibbled at the corner of
her lip.
"Do you consideryour man?" His discontented words burst out from his teeth.
"Could it be that you only seeas someone to fulfill your physical needs?" Flames ignited in his eyes. He had considered this
possibility more than once because she was so cold-blooded that he couldn't sense even a hint of love from her.
Vicki narrowed her eyes.
It was a childish question, and she couldn't be bothered to answer.
"Vicki, do you loveor not?" Felix questioned. He had asked her many times, but never received an answer.
Vicki stared back at him with her icy gaze, her expression showing impatience.
"Don't ask such childish questions. | won't answer."
Felix's chest heaved with anger. It was always the severy time.
The conversation took a turn, and he spoke coldly.
"Do you think | can't protect you?"
"Or do you think I'm incapable of giving you what you want?"
"Or do you think I'm indifferent and will drag you down? In your heart, am | such a useless person?"
Felix grew angrier as he spoke.
He wanted to squeeze her throat tightly and fiercely interrogate her.
"I don't think that way." Vicki's expression remained as cold as an eternal glacier, unmoving.
"Heh," Felix sneered, forcing her to look into his eyes. "If you don't think that way, then what do you mean? You don't tell me
anything, you do everything on your own. Have you ever asked me?"
"I can gather all the forces of the original factions for you. You should know that the Saunders family can reach anywhere in
Pascaylia. Trust me. If you encounter any difficulties, tell me. I'll help you."
He said it with utmost seriousness.
Vicki's dense eyelashes trembled slightly.
Then, her eyebrows furrowed. "Don't interfere. The Saunders family has been out of the picture for decades. Since we've been
cleansed, don't stain us again."
She held his wrist, which tightly gripped her chin, and slowly moved it away.
For the first time, she explained to him.
"lI have spersonal grudges with OGW. | don'twant to involve unrelated people."
Felix felt a slight tremor in his heart. She actually spoke up, finally explaining the reason, albeit vaguely. It was still a significant
step forward.
"It's okay, | don't mind getting involved."
His gaze turned sharp. "You should know Athena, right?"
Vicki raised her eyes. Why did he mention Athena? Yes, when she first arrived in DeNox four years ago, she did try to gather
information. The Ballard family, the Saunders family, and the Warner family were old acquaintances. Christian, Luther, and Felix
were also good friends.
What caused Christian to turn against them, becoming enemies? And what was the truth and evidence that Christian had always
wanted her to find?
In those four years, she hadn't found any clues.
It seemed that Felix had completely severed ties with Christian. She didn't know where to start.
Later, Christian gradually stopped being eager to investigate the past and had sinteractions with Joyce. Plus, Christian had
saved Joyce, so he didn't ask her to inquire about the past anymore. That's why she hadn't left DeNox and had stayed there all
along.
"Why would you mention her?" Vicki's eyes widened. "She's been dead for a long time."
A crooked smile formed on Felix's lips. "What if she's still alive? When she fell off the cliff back then, she didn't die. She only fell
into a coma. She was unconscious for nearly ten years and has now awakened."
Vicki's expression showed a hint of danger, but she remained silent.
"From your expression, you also know, right? You wanted to hide it just now?" Felix exposed her.
"So you know everything? OGW's appearance, Athena's awakening. Is there anything else | don't know?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicki suddenly pushed Felix away with force.
In a cold voice, she said, "Stop asking. Don't get involved."
She adjusted her disheveled clothes and swiftly walked towards the door.
Felix suddenly stood up and faced her straight back. "It's too late. I'm already involved. Luther is also involved. Before coming here,
| went to Mr. Ball and made it clear. When it comes to OGW, the Saunders family will never stand idly by."
He walked up behind her.
With determined meaning, he solemnly promised, "No matter what your past is, no matter what difficulties you face now, this time,
| will protect you! | won't let you suffer any harm. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
From behind, he slipped a miniature GPS tracker into her palm.
"Letknow your whereabouts. Letprotect you. Vicki, | can't be without you. | love you."
Vicki's shoulders trembled fiercely.
