He had to get her back!
At the airport …
"Are you serious?" Eve was still a little hesitant. Was Phillips really intending to travel around the world?
Phillips held onto Eve's hand tightly, forcing her to interlock her fingers with his. He smiled. "We're about to board the plane. Are you only thinking of going back on your words now? What a pity. There's no turning back for you. "
Eve: "…"
She instinctively looked behind her. As though he had seen through her thoughts, Phillips covered her eyes with his hand and straightened her head. "I'm not a magnanimous man. When you're with me, don't keep thinking about other men. I'll get jealous."
"Hmph! That sounds like a line from a romance novel. Have you been hooked on romance novels recently?"
Eve pulled his hand away and raised her brow. Those words were neither painful nor ticklish, and her heart did not waver at all. After all, she was not a pure and innocent girl, and was not that romantic.
Phillips looked at her and smiled. "No, I'm just hooked on you, that's all."
To be honest, when Phillips smiled, he was truly a femme fatale. His face was amiable, and his smile was like that of an angel. If he were to add in his sweet talk, there were not many women who could match his charm. Even Eve's heartbeat was a little erratic under his affectionate gaze.
Eve's face froze up as her gaze froze for a moment. She then averted her gaze and said coldly, "I've already said that those words have no effect on me. You can say those words to those young ladies who don't know much about the world. But to me, forget about it." “
"But I only want to say it to you. I don't want to say it to other women. What should I do?" Phillips smiled ambiguously. He held onto Eve's hand and tickled her palm with his fingers.
Eve furrowed her brows and wanted to pull her hand away. However, the other party did not let her. She glared at him, but he was still looking at her with a smile. Stunned, she averted her gaze and said in a self-deprecating manner, "Up to you then."
This person must have damaged his brain after being locked up in prison.
Normal people wouldn't have thought that the country's bigwigs would take the plane hand in hand without a single bodyguard. With the fake identities that Phillips had created, they boarded the plane easily. Sitting in the first row, Eve looked at the ground that was gradually getting smaller and smaller, and she was a little dazed.
A few hours ago, she and Adam were still praying for the newborn baby. But now, she was being held by Phillips and boarded an international flight to another country. Life was indeed full of drama.
Phillips pressed her head on his shoulder. Eve wanted to struggle, but he whispered in her ear, "There's still five to six hours before we arrive in Country E. I'll take you to see the most famous international fashion show and the tallest tower in the world. Before that, have a good rest."
Phillips' thoughtfulness left Eve at a loss for words. She had never thought that Phillips could be so tender and affectionate. No, he would still occasionally reveal this side of him, but it had never lasted this long. In her mind, the most this man had ever done to her was to make unbridled demands.
This kind of thoughtfulness was simply unimaginable.
Phillips's shoulders were broad, and a firm shoulder could give people a sense of security. It gave people the illusion of belonging, and what Eve lacked the most was belonging.
Was she short of money? She was not short of money. As long as she was willing, she could easily obtain a huge amount of wealth from the men who admired her.
She was so beautiful that even the most popular actresses would blush with shame.
She was in the prime of a woman's life.
Eve had too many things that others envied, but she still felt empty because she did not have a fixed home. She had been in the J Organisation since she was conscious. Every day, other than missions, she would train. However, she yearned for the most luxurious thing — love.
She had placed this love on Adam. She had once hoped that she could start a family with him, but unfortunately, she had failed.
But now, Phillips's actions seemed to be telling her that he was her home.
Xia Wa's heart skipped a beat. Was this man who was a few years younger than her really the one she was meant to belong to?
It was simply laughable to the extreme, but she couldn't guess Phillips's thoughts. What exactly did this young man, whose thoughts were frighteningly deep, want to obtain from her? Eve did not know, and she did not want to think about it. As long as she kept her heart and did not have extravagant hopes for things that did not belong to her, she would not be hurt again.
She did not struggle anymore. She leaned on Phillips's shoulder and closed her eyes. Her heart gradually calmed down.
Phillips heard Eve's breathing slow down. He glanced at her and found that she had already fallen asleep. He called the stewardess over and asked for a blanket. He gently placed it over her body and opened his terminal. His subordinate had sent him a message.
The operation had begun.
It was a simple message, but it indicated that in a few days, a huge change was about to begin. The turbulent J Country was about to face an even greater impact.
Every battle for the throne was accompanied by blood. This time, the J Organisation had officially fallen out with the royal family. It was either you die or I die. Taking Eve away now was the best decision. No matter who won or lost, the final victor would be him.

"Eh, why don't I see Eve?" Freya looked behind Adam. In her impression, Eve was always behind Adam. They were inseparable.
Adam rubbed his forehead and shook his head. "She probably went back to her room to rest. She has been quite tired these days."
Thinking of his previous attitude towards Eve, it seemed that he had gone overboard. Because of Qiao Qiao, he had lost his mind and lost his temper for no reason. He felt a little sorry for her. Adam decided that it would be better to apologize, but it was not good to go empty-handed.
"Princess, can I ask you a question?" Adam's expression was a little awkward.
Freya raised her eyebrows. "Oh?"
"If you want to apologize to a woman, what should you give her?"
"Did you make Eve angry?"
"No, I'm asking on behalf of a friend." Adam said with a straight face.
How could Freya believe this kind of lame lie? But she could not expose him. She gave him a suggestion, "When giving a gift, you have to cater to her preferences. If the other party likes you, no matter what you give her, she will gladly accept it."
"Is that so?"
"She doesn't seem to like anything in particular … …" In Adam's impression, he was the one that Eve paid the most attention to.
Freya rarely saw Adam care so much about other people. Maybe these two people would really succeed. She gave a low laugh and said, "I remember that Eve likes Jenifen's perfume. That company just released a new product. You can give it to her."
"Is that so?" Adam unconsciously followed Freya's words and asked. When he saw Freya's deep smile, he was stunned and immediately said, "It's not for Eve."
"Oh? That's a pity. Jenifen's new perfume is already out of stock. I have a set that I haven't used yet. Since it's not for Eve, then pretend I didn't say anything. " Freya pretended to be regretful. Then she shook her head and turned around, "I'll go see my little grandson again."
Freya had not taken a few steps when Adam suddenly stopped her. A trace of awkwardness appeared on his beautiful face, "Princess, can you give me that perfume?"
"Ah, seeing your sincere attitude, I'll give it to you." Freya smiled like a fox that saw through everything.
Under Freya's fiery gaze, Adam braced himself and took the perfume. He went to Eve's room.
In the end, Eve was not in her room. He looked at the empty bedroom in a daze. After pausing for a few seconds, he immediately called Eve. However, his phone indicated that the number he dialed was no longer in the service area. His heart sank. He stopped his subordinate and asked, "Have you seen Eve?"
"Uh, Miss Eve seems to have left the Holy Glory Palace." The subordinate was stunned for a moment before reporting.
Adam frowned, "Why didn't you tell me this immediately?"
"Ah, this, because Miss Eve said that she was following your orders to carry out a secret mission, we did not investigate further." Under Adam's cold gaze, the subordinate lowered his head more and more. He did not dare to meet his eyes.
"I should have already said that no one is allowed to leave the Holy Glory Palace without permission! Did my words fall on deaf ears? "Adam narrowed his eyes. His dark red eyes were filled with a bloody light that was somewhat terrifying.
The subordinate couldn't help but shiver, "This, this …"
He stammered for a long time without saying anything. It was also the preconceived impression that made them believe Eve's words. After all, everyone knew that Eve was Adam's subordinate. Moreover, many people knew that Eve was in love with Adam. Who would have thought that she would secretly leave?
Seeing that the subordinate was stammering and unable to speak clearly, Adam's face became darker and darker. He clenched the perfume in his hand and coldly ordered, "Immediately send someone to find Eve's whereabouts!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate turned around and ran, afraid that he would provoke this living King of Hell.
There was an indescribable irritation in Adam's heart. He didn't know what he was irritable about, but he felt a little uncomfortable. The image of Eve's back as she turned around and left lingered in his mind for a long time. Those red eyes seemed to be silently telling him something.
He suddenly remembered that Eve said that she would save Qiao Qiao within 15 minutes. Didn't Phillips's men also appear within that 15 minutes?
"In order to save Lilith, she made a deal with Phillips again?" Adam guessed.
This possibility was very high. Otherwise, no one could explain Phillips's appearance.
"Damn it, why didn't I think of it at that time?"
Because all his thoughts were on Qiao Qiao, he had no time to think about other things. Now that he thought about it, he felt that he had lost his head. How could he not have noticed such an obvious loophole? What on earth was he doing?
He knew very well how Phillips treated Eve in the past. This time, Eve betrayed him and fell into his hands. He didn't know what kind of torture she would be subjected to. Just thinking about it made Adam anxious.
That day when he went to steal the J Organisation's personnel list, Eve was humiliated by Phillips in order to cover for him. He would never forget that scene for the rest of his life.
But who knew how much torture she had suffered after that?
"Find her! I have to find her! "
Adam sent more people to search for Eve's whereabouts. The aura he exuded made people unable to get close to him. He was like a moving ice cube, making everyone tremble in fear.
The next day, the news finally came.
When he saw Phillips holding Eve's hand and the two of them appearing like a sweet couple at Country E's international airport, he was stunned.
"When did this happen?" Adam looked up and asked with a cold gaze.
"This news came in at 8: 15 this morning. Also, people who were on the same flight saw them sitting in the same row. Miss Eve didn't show any signs of being forced. It was said that they were like a sweet couple, snuggling up to each other. The man was very considerate and asked for a blanket for her …"
The subordinate finished speaking in a trembling voice and waited for Adam's orders.
But he waited and waited, but Adam remained silent and didn't say a word.
After some time, he slowly stood up.
"Sir, let's send people to intercept them now." The subordinate saw him stand up and suggested, "We also have spies there. Now that there are only two of them, it won't be difficult to catch them. I believe Miss Eve also …"
"No need."
"Huh?"
The subordinate was stunned and thought that he was hallucinating.
"Right now, our main force is dealing with the J Organization. Let those few fish that escaped the net do as they please." Adam's tone was indifferent, and no one could tell what he was feeling.
