Serena emerged an hour later, and seeing him still waiting, she felt a bit guilty."Sorry for keeping you waiting."Robin smiled, returning to his refined demeanor."No problem. It's your first time in Havenbrook, right? I'll take you to try the local specialties."Serena nodded, walking beside him.If Robin remembered correctly, he and Serena were not particularly familiar.In high school, he was the notorious troublemaker while Serena was the teacher's darling, an obedient girl.Such individuals shouldn't have had any interaction.He remembered vividly the day when he had just finished a fight as usual and caught sight of a girl in uniform not far away.(Flashback)The girl was very thin, with fair skin, standing quietly in the sunlight, blinking and staring at him without a word.Several moaning men lay around, and he still held a blood-stained dagger in his hand. He thought she might be scared, couldn't help but sneer."The blood they sprayed dirtied my uniform."He was about to t
Serena was taken aback.She had thought these people were causing trouble for Robin, but she hadn't expected him to say such words."In Havenbrook, no one would dare to openly come after me like this.So these people must be here for you. They want to kill you."Due to the gunshots, the police had arrived, but those men got into their car, chasing them.Robin checked the rearview mirror, saying, "They are from Hustleburg, Serena. Sit tight."With that, he accelerated the car. Serena frowned, using her uninjured hand to grip the handle. "Thank you."If it was people from Hustleburg, it might have something to do with Mira.Recently, Mira was the person she offended the most."No problem. It seems you can't go back to the hotel. I assume there are people waiting for you there as well. I hope the person you called is clever enough to escape. Let me take you to my place. My people will handle the tail."Serena nodded.The sounds of wind and gunfire surrounded them. To kill her, someone wa
Matthew walked downstairs, where Nathan was already waiting respectfully."Is the news confirmed?" he asked coldly.Nathan nod solemnly and continued, "Boss, Mr. Don is indeed still alive. We have found him, but his condition is not good. He has a serious head injury, and it's possible..."Nathan didn't finish his sentence, but Matthew already understood.A head injury, especially a severe one, could lead to significant cognitive impairment.Matthew's aura changed, and his eyes narrowed."Remove the threads that Ethan left. Harriet can't stand those women entangling with Ethan. Tell Harriet that as long as she can find evidence of Ethan's crimes, Ethan will become a vegetable for the rest of his life, with only her by his side."When a woman's love reaches its extreme, it transforms into profound hatred capable of destroying everything.Nathan was about to carry out the instructions when Jo hurriedly approached."Boss, Madam has called me; she encountered an attack in Havenbrook, and
Robin's mood was quite pleasant.Serena called his name so casually; could it be that after this incident, they had become true friends?The doctor arrived promptly, removed the bullet from Ida's leg, and carefully dressed the wound.Ida's gaze remained fixed on Robin.Despite his genteel appearance, she could sense that he was a very dangerous person. She was highly sensitive to dark auras."Madam, who is he?" She asked cautiously.Boss had assigned her to protect Madam."He's my friend," Serena replied calmly, relieved to see the doctor finish the treatment."Madam, this is a man's residence after all. We should leave and go to another hotel," Ida suggested.Her wariness of Robin was high, akin to a fierce cat protecting its food.However, as soon as she spoke, thunder roared outside, and heavy rain began to fall."Stay here tonight. I've arranged rooms for you. Neil, take this young lady to rest," Robin said, appearing by their side.Neil, who was standing nearby, quickly approache
The pilot on the helicopter was sweating profusely."Boss, this is the Franklin's territory. Robin took over as the new head a few years ago. He's ruthless and has quickly subdued all the gangs in Havenbrook. If we make enemies tonight, we might not get away."They had come hastily and didn't bring many people with them.They had tracked Serena's phone and knew she was here, but they hadn't expected it to be the territory of the new head of the Franklin Family.Nathan glanced at the message on his phone and quickly spoke, "Boss, Madam and Ida are both fine. They were rescued by the new head of the Franklin Family. He is an old friend of Madam..."As Nathan said this, he noticed Matthew's face darkening.Since when did the head of the Franklin Family know Serena? What had this woman hidden?At the same time, Ida received a call from Jo and learned that the people in the helicopter were Matthew and his group.She hurriedly went upstairs to find Neil."My Boss is here. We won't be stayin
Serena pursed her lips, blinked her slightly bitter eyes, and weariness etched deeper on her face.Matthew only then noticed her hands wrapped in bandages, and his aura became even more intimidating."What happened to your hand?"Ida, furious, interjected, "Boss, that Gloria spilled coffee on Madam's hand, and Madam's hand blistered on the spot."Matthew was even more infuriated.He even laughed in anger. "Your usual aura against others, and now, one Gloria has made you end up like this?!"Although he mocked her verbally, he still took her hand and examined it carefully when she handed it over.Serena pulled her hand back, saying, "It's just a small injury."Ida was even more displeased. "Where is this a small injury? What's worse is that after Gloria spilled coffee, she deliberately wiped away the blisters, intending to leave a scar on Madam's hand."Matthew's eyes turned crimson, and as the head of the Franklin Family, seeing his wife treated this way, he was not only angry but also
This night was destined to be restless.On the other side of Hustleburg, people were tossing and turning, and Gabriel had been following the updates, eager to know if those people had succeeded.However, upon learning that Matthew had rushed to Havenbrook overnight, he knew trouble was brewing.Trying to pull back was already too late; the dispatched individuals were wiped out, not a single one returned.Gabriel was dumbfounded, sitting in a daze on the sofa.These were skilled assassins nurtured by the White Family, and losing ten of them was a significant blow.He had underestimated the influence of Havenbrook's dark forces.Fearing the consequences, the living room door was suddenly kicked open, and Antony walked in."Bang!"A cup was thrown at Gabriel, and the shards cut his cheek."Foolish! Utterly foolish! If Matthew finds out you sent people to chase after his wife, do you think he'll spare our White Family? Matthew has concealed himself in Hustleburg for so many years; his met
Serena had a sound sleep, contrary to her expectations.She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she entered a realm of dreams. When she woke up, it was already ten in the morning.Ida had been anxiously waiting outside. The Boss had already left, but Madam was still sleeping, and she wondered how long these two would keep up their silent protest.Hearing movement inside, she excitedly knocked on the door, "Madam, are you awake? We should leave for Hustleburg. Maybe we can catch up with the Boss."Serena responded from inside. After a slow morning routine, she opened the door.Ida, in a state of anxiety, urged, "Let's leave now; perhaps we can still catch up with the Boss."Serena furrowed her brows and lowered Ida's hand. "Ida."The way she called her was very solemn, causing Ida to instantly adopt a serious expression. "Madam, what are your orders?""Did Matthew instruct you to be my bodyguard, or is he also using you to monitor my life?
