"You can't take Rossie away." Logan looked upset. His men quickly circled them.
Zorion didn't even flinch. He said indifferently, "If you don't want Jacky to die out there, you'd better step aside."
Logan was taken aback. He twitched a little before looking at his feet. He didn't want to let Zorion take Rossie away, but he had to give in for Jacky's sake.
He looked up and glanced at Rossie. "I'll send you off and come back when I'm sure that you're safe."
Stepping aside, Logan looked at his men. "Get in the car."
Dozens of men got into their cars and revved the engines.
Rossie looked at Logan. "Why bother?"
"I've told you this before. I want to marry you!"
After that, he turned and got into a car. He watched Zorion and Rossie, a smile forming on his lips as he took a trip down memory lane.
Rossie recalled how he'd accompanied her as she stumbled through Waverly Village. He knew that she had an ulterior motive, but he'd still stayed by
her side.
"Let me go. I want to stay." Rossie wanted to break free of Zorion's embrace, but he just looked at her.
Without saying a word, he strode towards his car and got in. The driver started the car and got ready to leave.
He'd kept Rossie in his arms the whole time, and he didn't plan on letting her go, no matter what happened.
The driver glanced at the cars trailing them and sucked in a breath.
Who exactly was Jacky? Why were there so many people in a small place like this, and why were they on their guard even during the holidays?
How could a lackey be able to mobilise so many people? Wasn't Jacky afraid of a mutiny?
The driver drove leisurely from Waverly Village to Capital City. The number of cars caught the attention of the security bureau. The head of the bureau had initially planned on stopping them for questioning, but turned back when he heard that it was the Whalen family's escort.
Zorion's car headed right into the Whalen family manor. Logan got out of the car and stood at the entrance. Jacky called him on the phone, saying, "She'll be fine. I'll bring her back in a few days' time so you guys can meet."
Logan was in a bad mood. However, he'd known right from the beginning that falling in love with such a woman wouldn't be smooth sailing for him.
"Got it."
After hanging up, Logan left. Jacky glanced at Zorion, who still had Rossie in his arms, and said, "If you don't give me that 100 million, I have plenty of ways to take her away. If that happens, one hundred million won't be enough to solve the problem."
Zorion stopped and turned to look at Jacky. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Jacky smirked. "You shouldn't be, but you should know that there's nothing that I can't do. I've already given you a discount because we got the wrong person. If not for that, it'd be 200 million. I won't say no to some extra money, though."
"We should keep things professional. If you pay up, you can have her. If not, I have my ways of taking her away."
"You might have been able to leave Waverly Village the first time, but there's no guaranteeing it the next time."
Jacky didn't say all this behind Rossie's back, so she asked, "You abducted me for money?"
With his apron on, he smiled and answered, "Of course. Why else would I do it?"
"But I don't have any money."
