“Answer me!” Carlos shouted as his eyes darkened. “What is their purpose in sending you here?” His voice demanded. His hand loosened the grip on the bodyguard’s neck, giving that man a chance to explain. The bodyguard held his neck while catching his breath. “They want to meet Elizabeth Winster to apologize to her.” Carlos snorted. “With a stupid way like this? Do you think Elizabeth Winster will be willing to forgive them?” His words dripped with mockery. “They have no other way, sir. They can’t find Elizabeth Winster anywhere. So they want to force their way into this party by ordering the bodyguards to get rid of the security guards,” he explained while lowering his gaze. Carlos was the highest ranking bodyguard, so all the Hensen family bodyguards bowed to him. “What have you done to the security guards?” Carlos asked in a firm tone. The bodyguard didn’t answer; he just lowered his head and remained silent. “Are you deaf? Answer me! What did you do to them?” Carlos yelled.
Driven by anger, Sammy took the gun that was in the back seat and opened the car door to approach Carlos. Before he alighted from the car, Evan stopped his actions."Sammy, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Evan yelled while staring sharply at his son."I just want to shoot that traitor, Dad! I want his head to be crushed with this gun!" Sammy exclaimed with unwavering determination in his eyes."You don't have to do that! Everything has been done by my men. They will give Carlos' family revenge for his betrayal, and it will be much more painful for Carlos," Evan spoke as a sly grin tugged on his lips.Because their plan to get into the ballroom failed, Evan and his son were forced to leave. If they forced their way in there, it would make things worse. Their focus was now diverted to Carlos who was proven to have committed treason.Arnold made sure the security guards who were poisoned got help. After that, he ordered Charles to send new security guards to guard the part
Evan and his sons had arrived at their mansion. As they were just alighted from the car, Evan’s cell phone ringing distracted him. Sammy and Claude walked first to the house and didn’t wait for their father. Evan frowned when he saw an unknown number pop up on his cell phone screen. With a little hesitation, he accepted the call. A man’s laughter boomed on the other line of the call. Evan’s frown deepened, showing his alertness. “Who is this?” Evan exclaimed. “Evan, Evan. Do you think you can win against us? Do you think you can easily get rid of us?” The man said in a mocking tone. “Who are you, bastard? Reveal yourself if you have the slightest courage!” Evan’s jaw tightened as his eyes darkened. He was sure that the mysterious person who contacted him could be his enemy. The man didn’t give an answer, but footsteps were heard from him. He was walking towards a corner of the room. Evan listened to the voice in silence. He was impatient and demanded. “Who are you? What are you
The strains of music and the melodious voice of a well-known country singer echoed in the ballroom. Everyone swayed to the music and the strains of the song. In the middle of the crowd of guests, Arnold was receiving a call from his personal bodyguard, Alastair."Alastair, what happened?" Arnold asked as he walked a little away from the crowd so he could hear his bodyguard's voice more clearly."We have got all the Hensen family bodyguards at the headquarters. I make sure Carlos' family is one hundred percent safe under our protection," Alastair reported.Arnold let out a smug smile. With this, he had nothing to worry about.Arnold learned from Carlos that the Hensen family threatened him with his family's safety, so Arnold quickly put up protection for Carlos' family, even without his knowledge tonight.Alastair and the rest of the bodyguards had arrived first to secure Carlos' family home before the Hensen family's troops arrived."Good job, Alastair! You and the rest of the men wil
“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 James Tech party was over. All the guests began to leave the ballroom. Elizabeth stood near the entrance with Sebastian beside her. She was waiting for Arnold.A wide smile spread across Elizabeth's face as she saw Arnold walking towards her. A beautiful lady who was none other than Zara walked behind her grandson.Seeing Zara who came with Arnold made Elizabeth immediately activate her act mode. She must not reveal her grandson's identity even in front of Zara."Arnold, I have been waiting for you for quite some time. I am glad to see you come," said Elizabeth. Her gaze shifted to Zara."Zara, I hope you enjoy the party tonight. You look gorgeous, dear; all eyes are on you," she complimented sincerely."Thank you, Madam Elizabeth. You also look very beautiful tonight," replied Zara."Ahem!"Arnold cleared his throat, which made their attention turn to him."I came here with Zara to talk to you, Madam Elizabeth. Mr. Braun had an urgent business trip, so he couldn't pick up his dau
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
Arnold alighted from his car and rushed to the warehouse. Arriving in front of the door of the holding room, Arnold heard screams from inside the room.Whoop-eesh!The sound of the whip striking the skin caused a scream from the recipient. The man screamed in pain while begging for forgiveness."Please have mercy on me! After this, I will do whatever you want," the man begged.Arnold listened to the voices for a while until he finally knocked on the door.Alastair and the rest of his men stared at the door. Before Alastair could respond, Arnold spoke first."Open the door!" he ordered in an authoritative voice."Quickly open the door for young master!" Alastair ordered his subordinates.With a fierce look, Alastair raised the whip in his hand and swung it again at Nack, until the man looked weak and increasingly helpless.Whoop-eesh!"Arghhhh!""That's your reward for daring to hurt my teacher's mother!" Alastair whispered with darkened eyes.While they were trying to protect Carlos'
