“It’s nothing!” Ben smiled awkwardly and continued eating.
“You look good!” Jack also smiled. “But those words on your chests, ‘the Bodyguards of the Taylor Family’, that’s too attention-grabbing. It’s like you’re trying to tell everyone that the Taylor family has bodyguards!”
“Does it matter? We’re rich now. Isn’t it normal to hire bodyguards?”
Fiona grinned. “We’ll be going to the countryside for a picnic tomorrow, but since Jack is coming with us, you all won’t have to come along. You’ll only have to follow us if Xena and I go out shopping in the afternoon! Just two of you will do. It’ll be too striking if too many of you were to come!”
“Yes, ma’am. Then we’ll take our leave and patrol the area!”
Elaine smiled and brought snazzynovel.com bodyguards out.
“Yay! We’re going out tomorrow!” Kylie was extremely elated, snazzynovel.com gaze filled with anticipation.
After dinner, Kylie returned to snazzynovel.com room to rest.
Meanwhile, Jack and Selena took a shower and laid on their bed.
“We can’t let Kylie know what happened this morning. She’d be worried!” Selena spoke after thinking about it.
Jack nodded. “Agreed. I never thought Quil would be so bold. Never mind that snazzynovel.com lashed out against me, snazzynovel.com even hired people to kidnap you and Xena—and even Mother!”
A frown formed between Selena’s brows. “Now, Quil is dead. I did some digging of my own and found out that there are two Xenos families in Sky City, and they’re both pretty strong. We don’t know which family snazzynovel.com belongs to, but it doesn’t matter. They’ll probably come to you for revenge once they find out that you killed Quil!”
After snazzynovel.com said that, Selena thought about it for a while before snazzynovel.com added, “Dear, did you hire so many bodyguards because you were worried about this?”
Jack looked at snazzynovel.com picture-perfect face before him. “I hired them because I’m worried about you and your mother’s safety the next time you go out. Besides, we’re rich now. It’s normal to hire bodyguards!”
Here, snazzynovel.com paused for a bit before continuing nonchalantly, “As for the Xenos family, don’t worry about that. It won’t be easy for them to find out the truth since I took no prisoners. Besides, there’s always a solution to a problem. If we really can’t avoid conflict, I’m pretty good friends with the Goddess of War—we can go to snazzynovel.com for help!”
Selena’s anxiety finally eased after snazzynovel.com heard what snazzynovel.com husband said. She bobbed snazzynovel.com head. “By the way, Xena’s really weird. She’s never initiated a family outing before, and even if snazzynovel.com did, it’d usually just be snazzynovel.com and Ben. Why would snazzynovel.com think of including us in snazzynovel.com plans this time?”
Jack’s brows furrowed. “You also thought it was strange, dear? I thought so, too. Seems like Xena did a one-eighty flip. Perhaps she’s in a good mood today because I gave snazzynovel.com one million dollars?”
Selena’s expression darkened when snazzynovel.com heard that. “She’s definitely seeing a man on the side while using my brother as a cover,” snazzynovel.com said, vexed. “Didn’t we say that we’d find that man and break my brother’s heart once we had evidence? Why did you go and give snazzynovel.com money instead?”
After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com rolled snazzynovel.com eyes at Jack. “Don’t tell me that you gave snazzynovel.com money because she’s good-looking?”
“Her?”
Jack did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Not only is snazzynovel.com unattractive compared to you, but she’s also unattractive even compared to Sharon. Why would I give snazzynovel.com money because she’s good-looking? It’s like this…”
Selena’s anger only abated after snazzynovel.com listened to Jack’s explanation. “So you’re trying to get snazzynovel.com to lower snazzynovel.com guard and reveal snazzynovel.com true colors later on!”
Jack nodded. “But I still don’t get why snazzynovel.com suddenly asked us all to go out!”
