Upon hearing a noise, Xander slowly opened his eyes and, at the moment he saw me, he almost didn’t recognize me: “Catherine?”
Lobediently nodded, yes, I had learned my lesson. In the past, I didn’t care about being the adopted daughter of the Lennox family, I acted like their own daughter, proud and arrogant. But now, after being kidnapped, I realized that my life is in the hands of the Lennox family. As long as Xander doesn’t ask for ransom, I am worthless
He frowned and looked displeased, “How did you let yourself become like this?”
Like this? Which one? Madiman? Beggar? I fled for dozens of kilometers, sleepless day and night. Besides kidnappers, I also had to be wary of wild beasts that eat people in the outskirts and mountains. When I was thirsty, I would collect rainwater to drink, and when I was hungry, I would rummage through the garbage dumps on the side of the highway, I think in this situation, anyone would go crazy.
I knew that he blamed me for appearing in the media in this way, which would cause trouble for his company, specifically, the Lennox Group.
“Sorry.”
“I’m sorry, I dirtied Xander’s eyes.
Xander listened to my response and then smiled at the corner of his lips, saying, “She’s right, you have indeed learned well
I couldn’t understand what Kander was saying. As the car door closed and the car started, Xander suddenly reached out his long arm towards me. Instinctively, I resisted and cowered into the corner, but he suddenly stopped and spoke with a disdainful tone, “Catherine, you stink”
I don’t know if it was because of the confined space inside the car, but the unpleasant smell on me was finally noticed by Xander. It was a mixture of blood and sweat, rolling in the mud, and fermenting after being scraped in the garbage pile.
Upon hearing Kander’s words, I instinctively got up from my seat, causing the car to become unstable, and I ended up kneeling directly in the aisle.
Sorry, sorry, I wouldn’t have dirtied the chair, I just wanted… as long as I kneel here.”
It hurt so much, on my knee, and those blood holes that the kidnappers had poked with thin steel needles. They blamed me, I meant nothing to Xander, they didn’t get the ransom, wasted time, so they took it out on me.

I couldn’t stand up, so I simply knelt and sat in that cramped space.
Xander instantly became furious: “What are you doing? Go back to your seat!
He ordered me, but he refused to come and help me because he thought it was dirty. I had no choice but to obey. I struggled to sit back, exerting a lot of effort. It was painful, and combined with the low blood sugar I had been experiencing these days, it even forced out tears of physical pain.
Xander used to turn a blind eye to my tears, finding them annoying. But this time, he surprisingly broke the habit and threw the handicerchief he had wiped his hands with onto me.
I clenched the clean and white handkerchief tightly. In the past, I would have been extremely happy, but now, that handkerchief only signifies my dirtiness and brokenness.
Owen glanced at me through the rearview mirror, and I lowered my
head. Perhaps he had never s
seen me so embarrassed and ridiculous before.
