His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 186

Marilla's pretty face was pale and powerless, looking fragile and soft. She was like a small animal in danger, instinctively hiding in Jareth's arms.

Jareth's gaze dropped, his heart felt a chill, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The damp touch from the girl mingled with the warmth of his skin through his black thin shirt. His breath hitched, and he tightened his arms subconsciously.

"Miss Marilla?" His voice was a low whisper, slightly hoarse.

Marilla clutched his shirt tightly, her eyes closed. She remained silent.

"Are you hurt?" Jareth asked softly.

She rested her forehead against his chest and shook her head.

Affection welled up in his heart.

The two bouncers saw Mr. Jareth approaching and immediately changed their attitude, bowing respectfully to greet him.

"Good evening, Mr. Jareth!"

"What just happened?" Jareth asked lazily, still holding Marilla.

"Nothing."

The bouncer who had been most aggressive towards Marilla smiled, "This lady is a fan of Ada. She insisted on going in without an invitation. We tried to stop her, but she didn't listen, so."

"So you guys got rough?" Jareth's mouth curled up, his gaze deep and unreadable.

"No, we just stopped her from going in." The bouncer downplayed, not daring to admit they bullied a girl.

Jareth smirked, then whispered into Marilla's ear, "Do you want me to make it right for you?"

Marilla didn't dare to look at him, she nodded, and then shook her head.

Jareth held Marilla with his left arm, and with his right hand, he drew his phone from his suit pocket and dialed Thaddeus.

"Hello, Mr. Thaddeus, may I deal with the Abernathy Group's people?"

The two bouncers exchanged frightened glances at his words.

Jareth gently stroked Marilla's damp hair with his left hand, "Good, hearing that makes me feel better."

He signaled Marilla to stand firm, then made a gesture.

Then, the Fairhaven group's bouncers quickly surrounded the two bouncers who hadn't figured out the situation.

Marilla watched in confusion as Jareth nonchalantly walked into the circle formed by the bouncers, then disappeared from sight as the bouncers closed around him again.

She couldn't see what was happening within the circle of bouncers. All she could hear were screams that made her heart race!

A minute later, Jareth stopped, glancing coldly at the two bruised men. He took a handkerchief from one of his guards and wiped the blood from the back of his hand.

"You can't even recognize Miss Marilla of the Abernathy family, what are your eyes for?"

The two bouncers turned pale with fright, they hastily bowed to Marilla.

"Miss Marilla, please forgive us! We didn't recognize you, please spare us!"

In Elmsworth, who didn't know the Fairhaven family held great influence? Offending the Fairhaven family meant no good days in Elmsworth.

"I'll handle this minor issue, no need to bother your boss."

Jareth still smiled, tossing the soiled handkerchief onto their faces, "Leave the Abernathy Group, leave Elmsworth. If I see you guys here again, it won't end well for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Jareth!"

The two men were led away by the Fairhaven family's people, their eyes wet with gratitude.

Marilla stood still, her lips tightly pressed. She looked a little scared.
