"Who ordered you to do this?" Vallen asked as calmly as she could, though her palms and feet were already trembling. She grasped Raisa's hand tightly to keep her friend calm. The four people wearing face coverings who got out of the pickup truck quickly surrounded Vallen and Raisa. 2 of the four people were right next to Vallen and Raisa, each holding a machine gun in hand.Bang! Within seconds, after the four people got out of the pickup car. The condition of the place, not far from the mall, was immediately chaotic. Many people shouted and scattered to run away from the place, especially after the sound of warning shots. Isn't the enemy's guts so big this time? Even daring to open fire in broad daylight without worrying, the police and the Broughton military intervened to clear them up. "SHUT UP!!! NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SPEAK! QUICKLY, BRING THAT WOMAN IMMEDIATELY!" Loudly ordered one of the men, probably the leader of the attack this time. The two men standing guard beside Vall
Bang!!Srassh!!!The gunshot echoed in Vallen's ears, leaving a residue of tense suspense. But Vallen didn't realize that the shot was aimed at the enemy beside him, who was now on the ground with a gunshot wound to the chest and was presumed dead.'Am I gone?' Vallen thought,Vallen still closed his eyes, not daring to open his eyes because, in his mind, a bullet was already lodged in his head. It was as if death had indeed taken one of his precious lives.However, there was a moment of silence after the last gunshot. A burly hand, which Vallen knew very well who it belonged to, suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled Vallen to her side. "Honey, how long are you going to close your eyes?" a warm peck shot across Vallen's forehead, "Open up; it's all over. And I'm sorry I came too late and put you in danger." He continued.Vallen's eyes opened, and and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Vallen's body was still shaking violently, but she was also relieved. At least Raisa m
In the study, Asher continued his work while waiting for dinner. Asher began to study the cooperation files with the remaining companies. Even though he had been sitting at the desk all day, something was still left behind. Knock knock knock"Come in!" Asher ordered without looking at the door and still struggling with the laptop in front of him.Ken entered from the direction of the door and brought several files that would undoubtedly add to Asher's work: "Sir, there are several more files that you need to check and sign." Ken said and placed the files on the table.Asher raised his face lazily, "What kind of report do I have to read? Aren't all the files regarding the agreement with the dock holders already done?" Asher asked back. He grabbed the file and read it, and frowned."That's the file on the 30% share of the Addison Company that we managed to take over when the share price dropped. The rest is still in Mr. Addison's hands. As for the company itself, it has already suffere
Just as Aunt An was about to prepare dinner to take to Vallen's room, Vallen came down the stairs with her eyes glancing in all directions, and Aunt An noticed, "Madam, why did you come down? Auntie was just about to prepare the meal to be delivered to Madam's room." "No need, Aunt. Let me eat here," Vallen walked towards the dining table. He pulled up a chair on the right side beside the main chair. His eyes glanced at the table in front of the main chair, and the plate was still clean, "Bi, did Asher not touch the food?"Aunt An stopped what she was doing to prepare the meal. She stood up and approached Vallen with a smile, "It looks like you're not in the mood to eat, probably because you're busy. Just now, you hurriedly put on your suit and left the mansion. It looks like there is another job waiting for you tonight." explained Aunt An clearly."Another job?!" Vallen narrowed her eyes, "I'm not sure about that. Asher must be disappointed that I didn't accompany him to dinner even
"Mr. Daniel. I will only say this once. The woman you see as your fiancée is my woman and my wife. I don't expect Mr. Daniel to start a cold war over this because I will not hesitate to eliminate everyone, including you, Mr. Daniel." Asher stood up from his seat. He had not even touched the wine served because wasting time just chatting with the person in front of him was not essential.Daniel followed, standing up with a severe face. He wasn't messing around with his attitude this time, "Mr. Asher, even though you warned me about this, I still believe that woman is Alexa, my fiancée. If you have already claimed Alexa as your wife, I am here. Daniel Maiden, I will take the woman you claim as Vallen and accept your challenge!" Daniel said, pointing at Asher's face.'Insolent! How dare you fight over a woman with me. Is this the kind of man I want to eliminate right now!' growled Asher. But then again, he didn't want to act rashly, which would harm himself and his family's reputation.
The next day,The sun was now beginning to slowly rise from its resting place, slipping through a small hole that could penetrate its rays to disturb a woman still awake in her deep sleep. The glow that pierced her retinas made Valencia blink her eyes slowly as if disturbed by the rays that greeted her morning.She circled her eyes and saw that the clock was already 8:00 am. Suddenly, the owner of the eyelashes jumped out of her sleeping position and sat up with her eyes bulging, "I overslept!" Valencia exclaimed in a chirpy voice. Valencia quickly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to clean herself up.On the other side of the wall, Asher is already neatly dressed in a black tuxedo suit with a black shirt that adds a relaxed and sexy vibe, contrasting with his brown skin color but looking so clean. Worthy of God's most seductive creature's status, anyone who sees it will be stunned.In front of the mirror, Asher looked at the reflection of his face while wearing the watch he h
Suddenly Valencia's cell phone on the table rang. Valencia lazily glanced at her cell phone, and Addison's name was there. Valencia's eyes immediately looked sharply at her cell phone. She lifted her head and sat back down correctly. Her eyes squinted with her mind already running somewhere."What's wrong with that old man contacting me? Ah, yes, I haven't set foot back at Addison's residence since that incident. I wonder what kind of swear words that old man will say this time." Valencia monologued. She immediately picked up the phone that had been ringing."Insolent child! Is this how you repay the kindness of the family that has taken you in and cared for you for the past two years!" from the tone of her intonation alone, it could be guessed that Addison was emotional. "Hello, Mr. Addison, what's wrong with you shouting so early? Aren't you ashamed of your neighbors if they hear it? Ah ... I forgot, a vile person like you must have no veins of shame. Sorry, I forgot about this one
"Augh..." moans the waitress from Valencia's grip. Her eyes stare fiercely, but there is fear in them. She stood tense without being able to reply to Valencia's threats."Auntie... You don't have to kowtow like that. I believe you didn't do it on purpose, did you?!" Valencia now let go of the maid. Now it was Valencia's turn to look at Addison with a sad face, "Ah... I had forgotten I was supposed to do this job. But why did you ask Auntie to serve me? What if Mom and sister saw it? They will hit me and whip me very roughly. I can't be like this anymore. I'm sorry, father." Addison's old man's eyes bulged at Valencia's sarcastic words. He smiled awkwardly, "How could they dare to hit and even whip you, my daughter, Valencia. If they dare to scold you, I'll be the one to take care of them, eh he.." said Addison with an innocent look.'You have no sense of shame! I'm already being sarcastic and still have a sweet mouth. Disgusting!'Then a few seconds later, Cecilia and her mother came
