Chapter 761
Right after the taxi arrived at the university gates, Genevieve spotted Harry standing outside the gates
with his head lowered as he looked at his phone.
“Harry!” She wound the car window down and called out to him.
Harry lifted his head, only to lock gazes with her. His eyes were ebony in color, and his long eyebrows
were slightly curved upward, forming an alluring peak.
His eyes lit up when he caught sight of Genevieve, and he strode over to her.
Genevieve was stunned for a moment, a strange feeling rising within her. Without allowing her time to
ponder upon it, Harry had already swung open the car door and climbed into the car. His clean and
sweet aroma swept over her.
Seeing that she was spacing out, Harry waved his hand in her face. “Are you okay, Genevieve?”
“I'm fine.” Genevieve swiftly snapped back to her senses and handed him a cup of milkshake.
Initially, they could take the subway straight to Baykeep. Unfortunately, that route was under
maintenance that week, so they could only go by car via the highway.

of the blue, “Genevieve, I forgot to ask you this back then—do you have a boyfriend?”
“Nope.” Chortling, Genevieve added, “But I have a husband.”
Harry lowered his eyes, seemingly very much disappointed. Following that, he couldn't help asking,
“I've never seen you calling him. Has your relationship with him fractured?”
Genevieve perceptively discerned something from his tone. Just when she was about to speak, the taxi
took a hard hit.
Caught off guard, she hurtled forward. Fortunately, Harry was quick to react and held her arm back.
Otherwise, her head would have slammed into the front seat.
Before they could compose themselves, the taxi had already been surrounded by several black cars.
The taxi driver had a man with a black hood outside the car pointing a gun at his head, so he
tremblingly unlocked the car doors. At once, someone yanked the car door open and dragged
Genevieve and Harry out, slipping a black hood over their heads.
Even after they had been shoved into another car, Genevieve was still in shock.
Jack's bodyguards had been following her after she arrived in Xedells. Upon arriving at the university,
she saw another car, probably bodyguards sent by the Hompton family to protect Harry.
Why are the two factions gone?
Her hands were bound and her head covered, so she couldn't see anything. She could only sense that
the car drove for a while before stopping someplace.
They were pushed out of the car. After that, the sound of a steel door slamming shut rang out.
When the messy footsteps around Genevieve faded away, she could hear rapid breathing from beside
her, one indicating a fast heart rate and difficulty breathing.
“Harry? How are you doing?” Following the sound of the breathing, she scooted over.
After Harry heard her voice, his panic abated significantly. His teeth chattering, he stammered, “It's so
dark, Genevieve. I can't see anything... I'm scared...”
His breathing started picking up speed once more.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGenevieve comforted him gently, explaining, “You're wearing a hood, so you can't see anything. Don't
panic. I'll help you remove the hood.”
Turning her hands over, she used her moveable fingers to feel the hood on Harry's face and yanked it
off him.
A few seconds later, Harry broke down. “There's only blackness before my eyes! I can't see anything...
Where are you, Genevieve? I'm so scared...”
“I'm here.” Afraid that he would pass out from hyperventilating, Genevieve scooted forward and poked
him with a finger.
Having discovered her existence, Harry instantly leaned over and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Genevieve was exceedingly uneasy, sensing him plastered against her, but she quickly noticed that his
body was trembling incessantly. If it weren't for the fact that his hands were immobile, he would have
probably hugged her tightly.
“Calm down. I heard the sound of a door slamming shut earlier, so this is most likely a small shed.” She
allowed him to lean against her even as she coaxed softly, “They probably took us here for the money.”
After all, kidnappers only abducted people for the sake of getting their hands on money. They knew the
kind of people they couldn't afford to kill.
