Chapter 880 Brendan's Pet

It was Boss! It was Elise! His goddess had returned! Elise again affirmed Jamie's speculation, “Yes, it'sme."

“Bos—" Jamie was over the moon but tried hard to remain calm. “Yes, I knew it! I knew it was you.Only you can convince me to worship you as my idol.”

"Yup. See? I, Anastasia, can survive the ordeal on the sea and sit here talking to you. Are you tellingme that you are inferior to me and don't have the slightest spirit to fight?” Elise squeezed his handtighter, trying to give him courage and strength.

“Bo—no, Elise, don't worry. I know what to do. I will not give up!” As he spoke, his eyes turned teary.It was good that Elise was still alive. Since she survived, his faith would not collapse!

At this moment, he became the fearless Jamie again, and his body was full of energy. He felt like hecould do anything! “Finally! This is Jamie that I know!” Elise patted his arm and chuckled. “Rest well.The engagement party is two months away. So it's not too late.”

“Don’t worry. I'm unbeatable! As long as I'm alive, Narissa won't marry anyone!” At the villa on theoutskirts of the city.

Meanwhile, at a particular villa on the outskirts of the city, Brendan rose with the sun. After hewashed up, he moved toward the bed, leaned down, and kissed Yuri's forehead before leaving.When the door closed, Yuri opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. Then, she liftedthe covers, pushed herself off the bed, walked to the window, and carefully lifted the curtain.

She saw Brendan getting into the car parked in the courtyard and driving away swiftly.

However, the bodyguards around the villa's perimeter did not leave with him. Instead, they werestationed at all the potential escape routes she could use and guarded the spot like emotionlessrobots.

Without Brendan's permission, no one could come in and out of the villa. She had spent the past sixmonths living like this.

Most of the time, Yuri felt like she was Brendan's pet. All pretty and caged for his pleasure and onlyallowed to do his bidding and only his. But, now that she was on that train of thought, maybe amarionette on strings would fit better.

He didn't love her, but he was addicted to controlling her. His obsession with control was a vice hecouldn't be rid of.

After she stood by the window for a few minutes, she went to the bathroom to wash her face andwent downstairs to make her own breakfast.

She was warming a glass of milk when she heard a rustling sound from the balcony window.

She strolled over casually while holding a glass of milk and saw a tall figure standing outside thewindow. The figure seemed anxious as he searched for the window's lock, considering how he wasrather conspicuous with his fumbling. If she were anyone else, he would have been captured bynow.

This mysterious person intrigued her. There were a total of six bodyguards around the villa, butsomeone still managed to sneak in.

She boldly lifted the curtain and was surprised to see that the figure was Christopher.

As their eyes met, both were a little bewildered, but Christopher was the first to come to his senses.He pointed to the lock and gestured to Yuri to open the door for him.

Perhaps she was feeling rather lonely, and having another person in such a long time was anenticing option. So, Yuri didn't hesitate to unlock the door and let him in.

"What brings you here?” Yuri asked curiously.

“I couldn't get in touch with you, and when I went to your company, they said that you resignedmonths ago. So, I might have stalked Brendan for a long time before discovering this place. I didn'texpect to see you here!” Christopher seemed very worked up towards the end of his tirade.

"Why are you looking for me? We broke up a long time ago.” Yuri remained indifferent.

“You know why.” Her indifference doused his excitement, but he stubbornly continued, “You knowI've been waiting for you.”

At this moment, he suddenly paused, ran to the window, and looked around vigilantly. Then, hecame to pull Yuri's hand and ran toward the door. “We can't talk now. Come on. I'll get you out ofhere.”

Yuri shook off his hand. “This is none of your business. Hurry up and leave.”

Christopher was too naive to think that she could escape Brendan's grasp. It was a fluke that hemanaged to sneak in. Brendan's surveillance was perhaps not foolproof considering Christopher'sappearance, but enough to deter her from making her grand escape. Besides, she knew thatChristopher would be spotted within minutes if he left now. So forget rescuing her from this hell. Itwas already challenging enough for him to escape on his own.

Brendan's sanity was in shambles. She did not want to drag Christopher into this madman’sschemes.

Alas, Christopher mistakenly thought that she did not want to leave Brendan. He frowned as hepersuaded, “Yuri, how can you be so foolish? You love him, but he is not a good person. Do youthink he’s nice to you just because he keeps you here so that you don't have to work or socialize?No! He's locking you up! He has brainwashed you. No way, I must get you out of here!”

After that, he reached out and tried to grab her hand again.

Yuri deliberately stood a distance away from him and feigned annoyance. "No, I know exactly whatI'm doing. I want to stay here. How much do you know about me anyway? Stop being so dramatic,and get the hell out of here! If you don't leave now, I'll call the guards!”

Her seemingly insensitive remarks succeeded in hurting Christopher's heart. He froze inbewilderment and took a while to regain his composure. “No, you're clearly not thinking straight. Ican't just sit by and watch you fall deeper into his trap!”

He knew very well that Yuri did not want to live like this. The only way he could explain her bizarrebehavior was that she must have been hypnotized by Brendan or worse.

Only by taking her out of here and sobering her up would she understand that he was doing thiswith her well-being in mind.

Therefore, Christopher gave up on reasoning with her as he decided to bring her with him by force.He rushed over, hugged Yuri, and forcibly dragged her out.

At this moment, an eerily cold voice resonated from the door.

"What do you think you're doing?!”

Christopher looked in the direction of the voice and saw Brendan standing expressionlessly at thedoor. Brendan looked like a dormant beast in the forest, ready to attack its prey as he fixed hisfearsome glare on Christopher.

When Christopher was distracted, Yuri hurriedly broke free from his embrace and hid behind thesofa.

Brendan curled his lips into a mirthless smirk as he stared at Christopher. “Mr. Edwards, do you mindexplaining what you're doing in my villa? This is trespassing, isn't it?”

“I think you'd better explain why you imprisoned Yuri in the first place!” Christopher stood uprightand yelled, “There are so many bodyguards all over the villa! Brendan, talk about bending the law toits limits! How dare you kidnap her in broad daylight and imprison her?!”

Brendan chuckled contemptuously. “Imprison? Did Yuri tell you that, or is this a figment of yourimagination?”

“Isn't it obvious? Why would an interior designer with a promising future suddenly break off all tieswith the outside world? But, Brendan, do you know what you're doing is illegal?!” Christopher saidin a solemn tone.

It didn’t matter if this man utterly bewitched Yuri. On the contrary, he would help her so thatBrendan could not entirely control her.

“Hahaha!” Brendan laughed disdainfully. “Mr. Edwards, you're so dramatic. It's very normal for aman and a woman who fall in love with each other to live together, isn't it? So why do you have tomake it sound so scary?”

"Stop changing the subject! No matter how much you love each other, you can't restrict the otherperson's freedom. That's enough. I will take Yuri away today!”
