Xavien's forehead was beaded with sweat as he said, "I have alerted the bodyguards. They will be here to rescue us soon!"
Upon hearing that, Abigail hummed in response.
Jonell must be the one who had placed this group of men here.
He has become even more roguish now that Sean is gone.
Xavien persisted for over ten minutes. Finally, the team of bodyguards arrived and surrounded the five cars. At once, gunshots erupted.
"Stay in the car. Just let the bodyguards handle the situation." Xavien stepped on the gas pedal.
"Okay." Abigail knew Xavien would be held accountable by Sean if something happened to her.
Upon arriving at the hotel, a group of individuals immediately surrounded Abigail and Xavien.
"Ms. Quinn, can you manage?" Xavien inquired Abigail, who stood beside him.
Abigail removed her jacket and revealed a snug T-shirt underneath.
"Of course."
Despite saying so, she didn't immediately take action since engaging in a shootout outside the hotel was unwise. After all, it would attract the attention of the state police and lead to lengthy explanations.
Moreover, the group of individuals approaching them were tall and muscular. Not to mention, each held a baseball bat.
Once the timing was right, Abigail tossed the piece of clothing that she was clutching in her hand and immediately grabbed one of the individuals' baseball bats. She passed it to Xavien before kicking away the man who had attacked her.
Her movements bore no mercy, and she was remarkably skilled.
Meanwhile, Xavien watched in admiration.
She seems to have grown even more formidable since our last encounter.
Within minutes, she had effortlessly subdued six burly men.
Xavien, on the other hand, merely knocked out three. As he watched the men wail in agony on the ground, he arched his eyebrow and remarked breezily, "Ms. Quinn, your skills have improved recently."
"Every day during the months of getting kidnapped, I had fought with Simond and his sister, Sage. In fact, Sage can no longer defeat me." Abigail chuckled.
At that time, she figured that focusing on improving her fighting skills would come in handy for her escape.
However, she didn't manage to apply them.
Xavien leaned the baseball bat against the ground and sighed. "Mr. Graham probably won't stand a chance in a dispute with you in the future, will he?"
"Oh, please. Can't you wish something good for our relationship?" Abigail put her jacket back on after saying that.
Abigail and Xavien had been investigating Jonell in New Yoke for several days. Indeed, they had uncovered some leads.
"Six months ago, a group of individuals at his estate headed to the winery's vineyard for grape harvesting. I suspect Luna was among them." Xavien handed the information to Abigail.
Abigail furrowed her brows and scanned through the information. "Have you checked the winery?" she inquired, looking solemn.
"Previously, I wasn't aware he had a winery," Xavien replied. Luna could have been relocated multiple times within these six months.
Both fell into silence.
Abigail set down the information file and sighed. "It will be extremely challenging to trace the staff mobility at this winery."
With news of Sean's disappearance at sea circulating, many will be itching for action.
