The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1367

Cassie was agitated and shouted out without a second thought. "I am dining with Cora. Really! You don't need to come."

"Cassie!" Cora called her name and glared at her with her eyes wide.

However, it was too late. Jordan had heard every word loud and clear.

"Cassie, where are you now? I'll come over," Jordan asked again.

Cassie regretted saying that; she didn't want to tell Jordan where she was. She mumbled something perfunctory and hung up.

When she hung up, Cora was about to ask if Jordan was coming or not and then her mobile phone rang.

Cora and Cassie looked at each other, and both thought, 'How unfortunate we are!'

The phone kept ringing persistently. Cora felt helpless and looked at the number. It was Jordan's.

Cora was upset and didn't want to answer the call, but she knew that if she didn't, then he would go directly to her home tomorrow. It would be more difficult to get rid of him then.

Besides, her money was in Jordan's pocket. She had no choice but to answer the call.

"Cora!" Cassie shook her head at Cora in a hurry, gesturing for Cora not to tell Jordan where she was.

Cora wore a bitter smile.

'Cassie, I'm sorry this time, ' Cora thought.

"Jordan!" Cora said, finally answering the phone. She pretended that nothing had happened.

"Cora, where are you and Cassie right now?" Jordan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Jordan, what's up? It's late now. We will be home for a while." Cora avoided the question and said something unrelated.

Jordan was unhappy and asked coldly, "What? Are you trying to lie to me? You know damn well that I fall in love with Cassie. Even if you don't want to help me, you shouldn't drag me back."

The last words were hurtful for Cora. She froze and thought for a moment about what he said. 'Am I a bad sister if I don't cooperate with him?'

As Cora muttered secretly, Jordan asked impatiently again, "Come on! Tell me, where are you now?"

Cora curled her lips and thought, 'He is my brother. He's always asking in an imperative tone.' It was a pity that she was the weaker one of the two.

She glanced helplessly at Cassie and then told her brother where they were.

After Cora finished the call, Cassie stood up quickly and said, "Cora, I have to go at once. I'll pay for the meal." She took out her purse to pay, but Cora stopped Cassie by holding onto her. With a sad expression, she said, "Cassie, my dear. Please help me out this time. When my brother comes and finds you not here, he'll kill me."

Cassie was in a dilemma. She didn't want to face Jordan, but she felt terrible to refuse Cora.

Cora saw that Cassie was hesitating and she tugged on her sleeve. "Cassie, please, please help me! I'll make your meals and wash your plates every day. Deal?"

Cora turned back and noticed the unhappy look on Jordan's face as he ran after them.

Cora felt terrible, because she had betrayed her brother. 'If Jordan catches me, he'll kill me. What's wrong with Cassie? Why is she running away from my brother as if he was a demon? She won't even explain it to me.'

The two girls had only been running for a short time, but they had to stop when several men in black jumped out in front of them blocking their way.

"What the...?" Cora cried out in fear. She thought that it was only her brother who was chasing them, but now she saw those men.

Cassie let Cora's hand go. These men were here for her, and she didn't want to get Cora involved.

"What are you going to do?" Cassie pretended to ask calmly but was frightened in her heart.

It was dark, and there were only a few dim lights, but it was enough for her to see the cold and frightening expressions on the men's faces.

"Shut up! Come with us!" the leader of the men yelled.

Cora pulled Cassie's arm and gave her a side glance asking, "Cassie, they...Do you know them?" Cora was so frightened that she was stuttering.

Cassie suddenly caught sight of Jordan out of the corner of her eye. He stopped a short distance behind her and took his phone out to make a call.

Cassie felt relieved and was glad that Jordan was clever enough to notice that something was wrong and call the police. All she had to do now was stall them until the police arrived.

"Hey, guys. You all look so handsome dressed in black. How about having a drink and some food with me? The food is very yummy here! Let's have some together!" Cassie suddenly said with an alluring smile.
