"Mr. Bard's honor and integrity are an inspiration. You, on the other hand, have betrayed the trust
bestowed upon you and attempted to harm Mr. Darren. Today, I'll bring you before him for justice."
"I'd like to see you try!"
A brawl broke out between the two sides. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, followed by a
downpour. The skylight's glass was broken, allowing the rain to fall into the small living room, making
the floor even more slippery.
One of the henchmen pulled out a knife, aiming for Cornell. Arabella kicked a wooden stool at him,
hitting him square in the face.
Another tried to take Cornell's life by throwing a switchblade like a dart. Arabella quickly pulled Cornell
aside, and the knife embedded itself in the wall, exactly where Cornell was crouching moments ago.
Cornell was drenched in cold sweat. Arabella shoved him into the corner and found herself surrounded
by henchmen. Cornell grew anxious as the fight seemed to be in a deadlock.
The henchmen drew their switchblades, aiming for Arabella.
Gordon, who was intent on capturing Mr. Elliot, was slashed in the arm by him. As Gordon clutched his
wound, he noticed two men taking advantage of Arabella's distraction. They raised their knives, ready
to strike.
In the blink of an eye, Gordon charged at them, kicking one away and using his back to shield Arabella
from the other.
The sound of the blade slicing through Gordon's back reached Arabella's ears. At the same moment,
the door was kicked open, and a flood of men dressed in black swarmed in.
They swiftly split into two lines. A man stood at the entrance, exuding an aura of icy superiority. An
assistant held an umbrella for him. When he saw Gordon injured while protecting Arabella, his gaze
darkened.
Gordon didn't recognize the man, but Mr. Elliot did. He panicked. How come Romeo had shown up
personally?
Since when did he meddle in such trifles?
Could it be that the Griffith family had Romeo's backing?
They were in deep trouble now.
The men Romeo brought were clearly superior in combat skills. With their superior numbers, they
effortlessly apprehended Mr. Elliot and his men.
Arabella was about to step forward when Gordon grabbed her. "Ms. Bella, we're still not sure if they're
friend or foe. It's better to be cautious."
Arabella noticed Gordon's lips were turning pale. His back was soaked in blood. She took out a small
vial of medicine from her pocket. "Stay still. I'll stop the bleeding."
Romeo stepped forward. "I'll do it."
Arabella handed him the medicine, sensing his intentions. “What are you doing here? Who told you I
was here?"
Upon hearing this, Gordon realized that they knew each other. And it seemed that they were quite
familiar.
"I found out.” Romeo poured the powdered medicine onto Gordon's wound. Gordon winced in pain.
This man seemed to harbor some hostility towards him.
That was when Arabella made the connection. Could it be Jack who had informed Romeo?
That guy had started to treat Romeo as one of their own, reporting everything to him.
He was bypassing her, the boss.
"It seems he needs to be taught a lesson." Arabella was planning to deal with Jack when she got back.
She had been too nice to him lately, so nice that he had lost his bearings.
“Aren't you happy that I'm here?" Romeo asked.
"I could handle this small matter on my own." Arabella didn't want to involve Romeo and his men. It
was probably Jack who had leaked the information, fearing she couldn't handle it herself.
"Ms. Bella, Mr. Romeo has been missing you. He talked about you countless times back home, and on
the plane too. On our way here, he was worried about your safety and even asked us to speed up."
