Hypnotizing Love

Chapter 254 The Strange Man Again

Confused by all these questions, Jared decided to talk to Amber. He picked up his phone and dialed

her number.

Unexpectedly, instead of Amber's voice, a robotic voice answered him and told him that the phone had

been switched off.

Ben also heard the robotic voice. He coughed slightly and said, "Well, why not find her and talk to her

face to face?"

Approval together with a hint of disappointment flashed across in Jared's eyes.

Yet he shook his head after a few seconds, and he said, "No. I will go to Gardner's place first. I need to

unveil Makenna's mask."

"Yes, sir. I will get you the car now." Ben pushed up his glasses with excitement and went out to get the

car.

Jared opened the electronic album on his phone, found out and began to appreciate the two photos of

Amber taken by the shopping guide of the suit store previously. With great affection and tenderness in

his eyes, he sighed, "During all those six years of our marriage, why haven't you ever told me that you

have once been someone's pen pal?"

If she had given him a little hint, he might have figured out that she was Maple Leaf.

Then he would definitely not do those things to her!

A buzz drew his attention back from his thoughts.

His phone was vibrating.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a message sent by Ben: Mr. Farrell, the car is ready at the gate.

Jared turned off the phone, put it back in his pocket and then walked out of the office.

It rained and the fog came in when they were driving to Gardner's villa. The grey and misty sky made

them hard to see the road clearly.

Ben muttered while driving, "Mr. Farrell, have you noticed that the weather has been so strange

recently? The weather forecast told us that it would be sunny today but it rained and there was thunder

last night. What's more, there were floods and earthquakes in some places."

"It's quite normal. It happens every year," Jared answered casually, with his eyes fixed on Amber's

photo and his thumb rubbing her face on it.

Ben tittered a little and said, "Well, I know it is normal. It's just my thoughts."

Jared ignored him and kept silent.

Suddenly, Jared saw someone standing in the middle of the road in front of them.

Dressed in totally white and with a black umbrella, the man stood there with no intention of leaving or

moving.

Seeing the man, Ben hooted the horn, signaling him to leave. But the man just stood there and didn't

move an inch.

"What's wrong with him?" Ben frowned and cursed in a low voice, "He wants to get himself killed? Why

doesn't he move away?"

"Stop the car!" Jared ordered.

The man must be there waiting for them if he didn't want to move.

A sharp sound coming from the tires penetrated the sky.

The car jerked to a halt.

Both Ben and Jared were rocked heavily by the halt.

Ben looked around and asked, "Mr. Farrell, are you alright?"

"I am fine," Jared responded in a displeased tone as he stared at that man standing in the middle of the

road.

And then, he rubbed his brows and ordered, "Unlock the door."

"Are you getting off the car?" Ben asked anxiously.

This was the private road of East Aspen, and, usually, not many people would come here. At that

moment, except for the two people sitting in the car, there was no other man on the road than that one

dressed in white.

It would be extremely dangerous for anyone to get out of the car at that moment since this man who

had suddenly appeared from nowhere was unknown to the world.

Thinking about the dangers which may occur, Ben turned around again and said seriously, "Mr. Farrell,

please stay in the car. We don't know who he is…"

"Be prepared with your gun and wait for me in the car. Just shoot if anything happens." Jared

responded with his eyes narrowed, still staring at that man. He must get out of the car.

He must find out what that man was exactly up to!

Ben knew that he couldn't keep Jared since he had made up his mind to get off, so he opened a secret

compartment and took out a gun. He signed while preparing for a fight, "I will keep an eye on him, Mr.

Farrell."

Jared nodded and got off with an umbrella. He walked to the man and stopped in front of him.

A gorgeous face was gradually shown as that man slowly raised his head and looked up.

However, Jared still kept a poker face. It seemed that the handsome face didn't attract him at all. He

asked coldly, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"You shouldn't move forward anymore," the man answered with the same chilling and indifferent voice.

Jared narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

The man sighed, "Why do you want to unmask the true identity of Maple Leaf? Can't we just let it go?"

Hearing his words, Jared was aghast and clenched his fist. He asked, "How do you know my plan?"

The man signed again, and said, "Turn around and go back. Forget the truth."

"No way!" fury was flaring in Jared's eyes. He shouted, "Makenna has lied to me for six years. How can

I ignore the truth?! Why do you help her? Are you the one who has always controlled my thoughts?"

"I am not helping her. I am helping someone who is important to me. That person loves Makenna very

much, so I have to control your thoughts," the man slightly shook his head and answered.

"So it was you!" caught by wrath, Jared threw away his umbrella and grasped his collar tightly once he

realized that the man was the one who manipulated him.

Seeing this scene, Ben instantly knew that the man was there up to something bad.

He immediately pointed the gun at the man's head across the window.

He would shoot at once if he tried to hurt Mr. Farrell.

The rain wetted Jared from head to toe, which untidied his clothes.

Yet he cared nothing about his clothes. His eyes were reddened by anger and he questioned the men

in a chilling tone, "You used me for someone who is important to you. How can you do that? Your

selfishness makes me a puppet and allows Makenna to control my thoughts and hinder me from finding

out my true love!"

The man ignored Jared's hands holding his collar and still looked him in his eyes calmly—indifference

and coldness still filled his eyes.

"Makenna loves you and that person loves her. He wants to help her," the man said.

Jared sneered, "Is that the only reason?"

"Yes," the man nodded.

Jared punched the man and cursed, "I don't even know you! And you did that to me only because the

one who is important to you loves Makenna? That's fucking nonsense!"

The man frowned a little and turned his body to dodge the punch.

His dodge was so agile that it was obvious that he at least knew some martial skills.

"Indeed, we were not supposed to do such a thing. But we are all selfish and I can sacrifice the whole

world for him," the man stared at Jared indifferently and responded calmly. He added, "What's more,

isn't Makenna good enough for you? Since love is nothing more than a kind of chemical reaction,

what's the difference between loving her and loving another girl? It's just the same."

"The same?" Jared was agitated by the words and he asked ironically, "Love is a kind of chemical

reaction? If that's the case, so you don't actually care about that person, and all your feelings towards

him are chemical, right?"

The man was made speechless and transfixed by such a question.

"Free me from your control right now!" Jared cared nothing about what the man was thinking. He just

wanted to break off the shackle.
