Caspian was observing everything from a distance at that moment.
“So you're Joan Watts? Huh, you have a pretty face,” murmured the man.
“What do you want?” demanded Joan immediately.
“Well, that depends on you,” replied the man.
“I don't think I know any of you,” muttered Joan.
The men standing around her scoffed.
It didn't matter if she knew them or not because they were simply paid to carry out those tasks.
“My gosh, woman. Why did you butt into the rich family's business?” asked the man directly.
What the hell did I butt into? Joan didn't understand what was going on and was staring at the men in confusion.
“I don't know what you're talking about.”
“Feigning innocent even at a time like this?”
Joan simply couldn't recall who she offended or which rich family she pissed off.
“Just get straight to the point,” demanded Joan, who had finally lost all her patience.
“Well, to tell you the truth, we didn't actually call you here to deal with a serious issue,” replied the man to deliberately get under Joan's skin.
Joan simply couldn't understand what was being played out in front of her. She couldn't even begin to guess it.
Why isn't she out yet? Caspian, who was hiding in the corner, was starting to worry.
Finally, he saw the men brought Joan out of the parking lot.
“Move! Don't shout or make any sudden moves,” growled the man as he shoved her harshly and led her to the car in front of them.
“Hold it right there!” roared Caspian as he dashed out of his hiding spot.
The men were surprised to see Caspian's sudden appearance.
“You f*cking lied to me?”
Slap!
