“But this isn’t about work. It's about your parents.” Chico’s words hung in the air. Silence paused the conversation between them. Zara stared at Chico with her eyebrows furrowed.“What do you mean?” Zara frown deepened. She had never said anything about her parents to Chico, and vice versa, she had never talked about Chico in front of her parents.“Then come with me! I will tell you what Mr. Braun told me,” Chico invited in a firm tone. His gaze was full of command.Zara shook her head. “No, I don’t want to. If you want to say it, then say it here.” She insisted.Chico took a deep breath. He had no choice but to comply with her request. “Your father can’t pick you up tonight; he has urgent business. Because of that, he asked me to take you home. As a good friend, I am willing to do it,” he explained.“Huh? What urgent business? You must be lying,” Zara responded with an incredulous look.Chico took out his phone and showed Otto Braun’s call history. “I only have this evidence because

The icy gaze of Zara's parents created a tense atmosphere. Arnold and Zara exchanged uneasy glances. Without needing to explain what was happening, Arnold could easily understand that Zara's parents were disappointed to see him instead of Chico Jeremy."I have to go," Arnold said as he hurriedly left, but before he could take a step, Zara grabbed his hand to stop him.Manon—Zara's mom glanced at Zara's hand that was holding Arnold with a look of hatred. Arnold realized that, and he immediately released his hand from Zara. The tense atmosphere peaked."No, please don't go!" Zara looked at Arnold with a reassured expression.Zara's gaze shifted to her parents. She spoke with a cheerful smile to lighten the mood."Mom, Dad, thank Arnold because he brought me home safely. I feel so safe with him," said Zara, praising Arnold.Without saying a word, Manon responded to her daughter's words with an action. She grabbed Zara's hand and forced her into the house."Mom, Dad! What are you doing? W

The masked lady pointed her gun at Arnold and his men. Unwavering determination was evident in her eyes. A sly grin hid behind her mask. Her finger on the button of the gun moved, and a shot flew towards Arnold.BANG!The shot flew into the wall as Arnold managed to dodge it. Arnold's men would not let her hurt their master, so they simultaneously aimed their shots at her.Bang! Bang! Bang!The lady skillfully dodged the shot with a backflip. She ran out of the building. Arnold and his men chased after her."She can't get away!""After her!""She won't get away!"The lady ran towards the backyard of the warehouse. When Arnold and the others arrived there, they were greeted by the presence of the Hensen family.The lady stood in front of the Hensen family member like a shield; she protected them with her gun raised in her hand. It seemed that Evan and his two sons were much more prepared than Arnold's men, as they had put on bulletproof vests for their own protection.Sammy huffed as h

The masked lady stepped off her foot from Alastair’s chest. She tucked her gun into the side of her pants and walked towards Carlos with nunchucks in her hands.Carlos glared at the woman. He would fight fairly without using his gun.“Since you don’t want to tell me who you really are, then I will take off your mask,” Carlos muttered determinedly.He matched his weapon with the one the masked lady was currently using. Carlos spun his nunchucks and prepared to face the lady’s attack.“Ahh!” She shot her nunchucks towards Carlos’s face, but Carlos swiftly stopped the attack with his hand.The rapid rotation of the nunchucks made his fingers bleed as he held the object in his hand.The masked lady stared pensively at Carlos’s injured hand. She didn’t seem to want to continue this fight. But she had no other choice because now Carlos and she were in opposing circumstances.Before arriving at the warehouse, she heard her masters talking about their traitorous bodyguard, whose name was Carl

PUNCH!Clouded in anger, Carlos did not stop his attack on Sammy until the man's left eye was swollen.Evan screamed hysterically, with tears streaming down his cheeks. "Please stop; don't kill my son. I've lost everything, but please don't take my son's life." His voice sounded heartbreaking until it made Arnold feel sorry.Arnold rushed to Carlos to ask him to stop his actions. "Carlos, it's enough! That's enough to teach him a lesson," he exclaimed. Carlos took a deep breath and released his grip on Sammy's shirt collar. He got up from his position while staring at Sammy sharply."Arghh!" Sammy groaned in pain while holding his swollen eye. Evan immediately took his son away from there."Claude, quickly take Sammy to the hospital now!" Evan ordered in a worried tone.Claude nodded, following his father's orders. "Okay, Dad." He helped his brother to the front yard where their car was parked to go to the hospital.Meanwhile, Evan remained there with Arbella. His face looked confuse
