“Argghh!” A low growl escaped from Alastair’s lips. His hand reached for his nunchucks that were thrown beside him.Arnold saw this unfolding scene and warned his men to be ready to fight the masked lady if Alastair lost. That lady was not someone to be underestimated.The masked lady narrowed her eyes at Alastair who got up. “Come on kid, attack me seriously. You don’t have to hesitate to attack me just because I’m a woman,” she teased.With full determination, Alastair ran towards her. He spun his nunchucks and swung them towards her legs. The masked lady jumped to avoid the nunchucks hitting her legs.Alastair continued to attack her legs, but she was easily able to avoid the continuous attacks.She swung her sword towards Alastair’s weapon that was being spun, and then with her trick, she managed to knock the weapon out of his hand.The nunchucks were thrown far from Alastair’s position. “Oh no,” Alastair muttered in a little panic, but he didn’t have time to mourn his weapon that
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
Evan's body suddenly went limp. His phone slipped from his grasp, but Claude quickly caught it before it fell to the ground.With concern, Claude asked his father. "What happened, Dad? Who just called?"Evan was silent as he stared at his son with a blank stare. He seemed to have lost himself after finding out the current condition of his companies. His downfall was in front of his eyes."Daddy, what happened?" Sammy rushed to his father. He grabbed his father's shoulders while shaking him to get his father out of his blank stare."Daddy, answer us! Who just called you?" Sammy urged."Our abroad company manager," Evan answered briefly."Then what did he say? Why do you look so shaken?" Sammy's expression showed impatience.Evan did not answer his son's question and instead turned to look at Arnold. Suddenly, with tears on his face, he approached the young man and kneeled in front of him. His actions surprised his two sons."Daddy, what are you doing?" Claude exclaimed."Why are you kn
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
After finishing all the problems in the warehouse, Arnold and his men hurriedly left the place, except Carlos. Carlos walked in the silence of the building alone. When he was almost at the door, he heard footsteps around him. Carlos cautiously looked around. He took out his gun in case someone was watching him."If you dare, show yourself!" Carlos shouted with courage in his eyes.In the middle of the dimly lit room, someone walked towards Carlos. This figure turned on the flashlight on her cellphone and pointed it at her face to show herself to Carlos."Arbella!" Carlos's eyes widened. He rushed to the lady. "Arbella, are you still here?" he asked in disbelief.Arbella raised her face to look at him. She nodded with a small smile. "Yes, I'm still here."Carlos sighed in relief. His hand was about to touch Arbella's shoulder, but she avoided his touch."Sorry, Arbella." Carlos stepped back, putting some distance between himself and the lady.She stepped forward and was followed by Ca
Evan gasped at Isabella’s order. With disbelief expression, he confirmed the order.“What, Miss? Take off my shoes? For what? Who ordered—” The middle-aged man continued to ramble, but Isabella interrupted him.“Do all my orders or get out of here!” Isabella exclaimed with a sharp gaze.Evan had no choice but to obey her order. At least taking off his shoes was no worse than losing the chance to save his life.He took off his shoes and was now barefoot. “Done, Miss. I’m ready to meet Mr. CEO,” he said with a hopeful smile.The elegant lady shook her head while folding her arms across her stomach. “It’s not that easy. You also have to take off your watch and your suit!”Evan's eyes widened. Scattered, he responded. “But, Miss?” He wanted to protest, but Isabella gave another stern warning.“Okay, it seems like you’d rather not meet Mr. CEO than take off your branded stuff,” Isabella quipped.“No, don’t get me wrong!” Evan shook his head, dismissing her accusation. “I’m just confused as
“Where is Mr. CEO? What are you doing in his office?” Evan exclaimed while glaring at Arnold, as if Arnold were an intruder who had entered this room.Isabella's eyebrows furrowed. She knew that the young master’s identity was kept secret from the public. But seeing Evan’s impudent attitude, her blood boiled.“Watch your words, or I’ll have the security officers drag you out of here!” Isabella threatened.Evan shrank in fear. He cupped his hands while putting on a pitiful face. “Miss Hayes, I don’t mean to be mean here, but that servant shouldn’t be here. Are you just going to watch him sit in the CEO’s chair? He is just a servant, and nothing more,” he replied reassuringly.“Shut up!” Isabella snapped. “If you dare to speak one more time, I’ll throw you out!” Isabella yelled while pointing her finger.Evan’s mouth was tightly shut. He didn’t have the courage to reply to her words. In the midst of the tense atmosphere, the door to the room suddenly opened. A beautiful lady who was non
Evan's eyes darkened with anger. Not only his companies in this country, but those abroad would also fall into Arnold's hands for only 30 million dollars."I don't like people who waste my time. Sign it now or get out of this room!" Arnold shouted.Evan hesitantly signed the document and handed it to Arnold. With this, all of the Hensen family's companies officially belonged to Arnold.Arnold let out a satisfied smile as he stared at the signed document. "Isabella, I hand over our new companies to you. For the time being, you and Sebastian will take care of everything," he ordered. He had plans to change the name of The Hensen Group to his new subsidiary.Isabella nodded respectfully. "Alright, Young Master."Arnold's gaze returned to Evan. He could clearly see the anger on Evan's face, even though the middle-aged man tried to look calm. Not wanting to see Evan and his sons any longer in Fairybridge, Arnold ordered them to leave this country immediately."I don't want to see you here
