Daniel did not know what was going on with Helena, but he was sure it was not good."What's going on? Miss Dubois doesn't usually sound like this," he said.Daniel knew he couldn't think too long. He had to act fast!He put on his shirt and pants and grabbed his car keys.In the car, Daniel opened the GPS system and entered Helena's phone number to track her location.When he saw the distance from his current location to where the girl was, it would take about two hours!What?Damn it!Daniel couldn't hold back anymore.He didn't want anything bad to happen to a girl who was his right hand.He stepped on the gas to get to Helena's location as fast as possible.As he drove, Daniel called Helena's number from time to time, but there was no answer."What's really happening to you, Helena?" In this dire situation, Daniel accidentally called the girl by her first name, as if there was no distance between them as boss and employee.Daniel drove his car like a man possessed.After an hour, h
"From your face and the look in your eyes, I don't see you as an evil person. So why have you come and entered this place? What do you want?" he continued."I apologize, old man. I received an urgent call from a girl, and it came from this place. I don't want to cause any trouble here. I just want to make sure the girl is safe and sound."Although Daniel spoke politely, he was sure in his heart that the people he had taken down, including the young man sitting in front of him, were not to be trusted so easily.As for the old man and the veiled girl, he didn't feel that they were as evil as the others.Upon hearing Daniel's words, Kieran, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up."Huh, did you come for Miss Dubois?" The young man asked with a mischievous smile on his face. He had seen the young man's skills before. But now he was among the strong people of one of the most powerful noble families in Tectona. So what did he have to fear?This question immediately caught Danie
"What does that old man really want? Why does he protect this young man so desperately?" Daniel wondered silently.However, after seeing the old man's condition, Daniel had no desire to continue the fight.Before he could lower his hand, a small voice was heard from beside them."Mortimer, let him be! Let this young master explain his purpose for coming here!" the veiled girl said calmly."Very well, miss!"Mortimer immediately lowered his power, and his iron-like hand returned to its original form.The veiled girl then rose from her seat and approached Daniel."I apologize for the actions of my servant just now! If I may ask, why are you so angry with Kieran? Has he done anything wrong to you?" the girl asked softly. For a moment, her voice managed to calm the anger in Daniel's heart.Before he could answer the question, the girl spoke again. "Oh, by the way, my name is Archie. May I know your name?"As the girl introduced herself, Daniel's eyebrows raised slightly.Archie?Why does
"Yeah? Why?" Archie asked. The girl became more and more curious. She was afraid that the young man in front of her might have done the same as his friend.But before Daniel could answer this question, he remembered Helena."Hey, where is Miss Dubois?" he asked Kieran."She's resting over there!" Kieran replied, pointing his index finger in the direction of one of the rooms.Daniel quickly walked in the direction Kieran pointed. He opened the door and saw a beautiful girl lying on the sofa. Helena looked very tired, but her clothes were still intact."Thank goodness! Nothing happened to her!" Daniel exclaimed happily. He felt relieved.Then he touched Helena's hand and held it gently, trying to wake her up."Miss Dubois! Miss Dubois! Wake up!"Helena remained asleep.Daniel then gently shook her shoulders a few times, but Helena still didn't open her eyes."Why is this girl so difficult to wake up?"At first Daniel thought that Helena was just too tired. But when he saw the drink on t
Daniel was in his car.He had originally planned to take Helena to the hospital, thinking that she needed immediate medical attention.But when he saw her body through the car window, he was relieved because she seemed to be fine."Maybe she just needs some more rest!"Daniel then punched Helena's name into his GPS system and tracked down her home.As the owner of Tec-Auto, Daniel had access to certain information about his employees. It was all done to help the employees in case of emergencies.Of course, Daniel had access to all this data with their consent.Not long after, his phone screen showed a place he needed to reach. "Carmel City."Daniel only had to drive a little over two hours to get there.Two hours later.The car Daniel was driving arrived at a city outside of Tectona."Carmel City" was the name written on the roadside sign as his car passed through the area.Carmel was a suburban city that directly bordered the city of Tectona, and it was a beautiful city.Several buil
The woman screamed at Daniel and chased him away.Actually, Daniel was not alone in the room. Louise was also there. The girl was sitting on the bed watching her sister.The woman immediately entered the room and grabbed Daniel's hand, pulling him away from where he was standing."Aunt Lena, what are you doing?" Louise whispered as she saw the woman pulling Daniel's hand roughly."Be quiet! Just take care of your sister! Don't interfere in the affairs of adults!" the woman named Lena said as she continued to drag Daniel out of Helena's room."Sister, what are you doing? Let him go! He is Helena's boyfriend!" Elise shouted as she saw her sister grab her daughter's boyfriend by the hand."Boyfriend, you say? No one but Matthias is allowed near my niece! Do you hear me?" Lena yelled.Lena was Elise's only sister. Since Elise's husband, Helena's father, had died, Lena had helped them with their lives. Lena was also the one who sent her two nieces to school.So she felt entitled to decide
Lena was one of these unfortunate people.Though the Deshaies didn't persecute her, her crops had been failing for the past few years.Therefore, she not only needed financial help, but also needed to earn money to meet her daily needs.Lena knew she couldn't borrow from the bank. That's why she borrowed from the Deshaies. As her debt grew, she struggled to pay it off.At the same time, after learning that one of the young men in the Deshaies family had his eye on her niece, Lena tried to get closer to him in order to get leniency and avoid repaying her debt."Don't you know how much I spent on your two daughters' education? If I hadn't supported Helena, she wouldn't be as successful as she is now!" Lena snapped without any shame.Every time she argued with her sister, she always mentioned her own good deeds, as if she had done them only out of self-interest."I don't want to hear anything from you right now. Wake up your child and tell her to leave immediately!" Lena snapped again an
Helena was about to move her hand when a voice was heard from the direction of the door."Darling, what are you doing? Are you going to leave your lover for a rich man? Come on! Do you think I can't make you happy?"The voice was casually spoken, but sounded very loud.When everyone turned to the source of the voice, they could see Daniel standing near the door with his arms folded across his chest.Daniel was indeed pretending to be Helena's boyfriend. He did it for one simple reason.If he had no relationship with Helena, what reason would he have to help the girl?Besides, after hearing Louise's explanation of what the Deshaies family, including the young man in front of him, had done to the locals, Daniel couldn't just stay silent.He had to do something to save them. He had to stop the incredibly greedy Deshaies family!But first, of course, he had to save Helena by paying off Lena's debt!"You stupid boy! Have you gone mad? What are you doing here? Get out before I lose my patie
