Larry's voice was calm and devoid of any warmth.
For some reason, the man shuddered involuntarily upon hearing Larry's words. How can he still be so arrogant?What can the two of them even do?
The man straightened his clothes, trying to calm himself.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Take her away!" Then, he turned to leave.
"You probably don't know this, but Della's father has always been against her underhanded actions," Larry said suddenly, causing the man to halt in his stride.
Della and her father were world-renowned figures. Although her father kept a relatively lower profile than her, he was labeled by the public as a person of good moral standing and reputation.
Could this guy be close to Della's father? The man turned around to look at Larry with a hint of doubt entering his eyes. Who the hell is Larry Norton?And why is Caspian willingly doing his bidding?
"I'll give you two minutes to think about it. If you still don't let her go after that, be prepared to face the consequences." Larry's emanated a frightening aura.
Unbeknownst to him, Larry's men already had the place surrounded and were ready to ambush at any second.
The man looked up at the sky, as though merely waiting for two minutes to pass.
Right then, a young man brought over a phone to him. "Boss, your phone is ringing."
"How's everything going?" Della's voice drifted over the line.
"Not very good," the man replied.
"Get rid of her if it's necessary!"
The man froze momentarily. She wants me to kill her? There was no way he would do that. "Ms. Duff, you didn't mention anything about this before! You only said you wanted me to bring her to you!"
Two minutes passed. Judging by the nervous look on the man's face as he spoke on the phone, Larry refrained from taking action, thinking that perhaps there still might be a chance to turn things around.
