Shelton's words made me freeze for a second.
What, what did he mean?
I looked at Shelton. From his face and the corners of his mouth, I found that his expression was particularly serious.
I looked at him blankly, and felt very confused.
After a moment, I asked, "What do you mean?"
At this time, I heard a harsh beep outside the car. I saw from the rear mirror that Patrick's car was following behind. The high beams of his car were flashing, looking like a provocation!
I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Shelton patted me on the head. "Soon, you won't be disturbed by this."
When he said these words, there was no smile on his face.
Then, he took off his glasses and drove the car out of the East Wind restaurant.
"What are you going to do? Where are we going?" I kept asking Shelton.
However, Shelton did not answer my question. He totally focused on driving.
At this time, it was already night, and it was snowing.
The drifting snowflakes were scattering under the orange glare of the headlight.
I looked nervously at Shelton, feeling extremely uneasy.
Because I had never seen Shelton acting like this. No matter when, he always wore a faint smile on his face.
His simile only disappeared when he was serious. But even in that case, he would soon put on a smile.
I had thought Shelton used his smile and gentleness as a mask for hiding his real side.
But at this moment, I didn't want Shelton to be expressionless like this, even if I knew his smile was just a mask.
I was terrified by his expressionless face.
I was even afraid that the place he took me to would be terrifying.
Someone might..
Someone might die there.
However, Shelton seemed to lose his ability to smile.
After about two hours, he drove the car all the way from the brightly lit urban area to the suburbs without any street lights.
There were only lights from the headlights.
Suddenly, the lights appeared. I looked carefully and found that there was a large house in front of us. It was very luxurious and colorful, looking like a circus.
Where was it?
As I was confused, Shelton made a turn and drove to the yard.
The yard was full of cars. As far as the eye could see, almost all of them were luxurious cars.
And around the building, there were many bodyguards patrolling.
Following us, Patrick's car also drove into the yard.
At this time, a group of people came out of the gate. I found that, among them, there was a very tall and eye-catching man.
Of all the people I knew, there was only one person of this height.
When they approached, I finally made sure that this man was Roger Newman.
After I saw him, the bad feeling I had became even stronger!
Several bodyguards came over and opened the door for us.
I hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car.
"Oh, Mr. Cowell, it's my honor to have you here!"
When Shelton and Patrick both got off the car, Roger opened his hands and said loudly.
Neither of them responded to Roger. Shelton just asked him, "Have you already prepared the place for us?"
"Of course." Roger made a gesture of invitation.
Shelton came up to me, wanting to pull my hand. But Patrick directly stopped him. "Shelton, before the result comes out, she doesn't belong to you."
I was stunned and asked, "You stake me on something, don't you?"
