“No way. Fiona and Andrew are pretty old. No way that the four of them failed to snatch the goods.” Xena frowned when snazzynovel.com heard that. She walked over to take a look. At the sight, snazzynovel.com face contorted in disgust—because there was no pouch in sight.
“Useless! Four men and they couldn’t rob an old couple?” Young Master Howard’s expression hardened. He did not look very pleased.
Although three million dollars was not much to him, snazzynovel.com never liked failing in anything snazzynovel.com did.
“It looks like there are three bikes, but an extra passenger is riding on one of them!” One of the men exclaimed when they came closer into view. The bikes zoomed forward. The people were full of distrust. Five men came down from the bikes.
“Bo–boss…” One of the men had lacerations on his forehead; blood streaked his face. He ran over to Young Master Howard. “We–we didn’t manage to get the goods,” snazzynovel.com said, terror laced in his voice. “We fell into a trap!”
“Useless!” Young Master Howard threw a vicious kick at the man. Then snazzynovel.com noticed Jack. “Who’s this punk?” snazzynovel.com asked his four men.
“Ja–Jack? Why are you here?” Xena’s eyes flickered; snazzynovel.com expression morphed into one of a horrified surprise.
She had already thought everything through. She needed to find a way to get money for herself. Even if snazzynovel.com did not marry Young Master Howard in the future, it did not matter so long as snazzynovel.com had money of snazzynovel.com own and could live a comfortable life. If that did not work out, snazzynovel.com still could marry Ben, in spite of the trash snazzynovel.com was. Or snazzynovel.com could leave the city by herself, start anew in another place. She never thought that Jack would actually come. This was a clear indicator that snazzynovel.com had seen through snazzynovel.com ruse.
“You know him?” Young Master Howard was stunned, “Why does the name Jack sound familiar?”
“Young Master Howard, this punk is a skilled fighter, and snazzynovel.com is a bodyguard for the Drakes. He’s also Selena’s husband, and Ben’s brother-in-law!” Xena immediately said to Young Master Howard.
“A skilled fighter? How skilled, exactly?” Young Master Howard flashed a sardonic smile. “Oh, so this is the good-for-nothing who leeched off his wife,” snazzynovel.com said. “I remember you telling me that this punk practically destroyed the Taylors. If not for him, Selena would never have been kicked out of the Taylors. What a shame. That beauty was snagged by such a swine!” Here, snazzynovel.com stretched his limbs lazily. “I heard that Selena is very attractive,” snazzynovel.com said, expression teasing. “It’s a pity that I don’t take interest in women who are married and have had a kid. I probably would like to fool around with snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com wasn’t married!”
“You beat up the four of them, eh, punk? Not bad!” A grunt quirked his lips into a mirthless smile.
“The punk didn’t really beat us. But snazzynovel.com must be pretty skilled anyway. He managed to take hold of our bikes and flip them over. Who knows what would have happened if the bikes didn’t fall!” One of the men who was injured spoke up, trying to defend his dignity.
