Tom didn’t expect Ivor and Jim would be this tough once they teamed up. He gulped heavily and took a step back instinctively.
Shane’s face fell. His eyes were filled with disdain when he looked at Tom. “What a weasel!”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Tom’s face at that. He hung his head and didn’t make a peep.
Shane hated the fact that Tom couldn’t do better. Tearing his gaze away, he looked at the bodyguards behind him coldly.
“Listen to me! Anyone who seizes them will be rewarded with 10 million dollars! Hurry up and get a move on!”
‘The bodyguards aren’t giving their all to the fight. I’ve got no choice but to give them some additional incentive.’
The moment all of them heard that there were 10 million dollars to be had, they got excited in a matter of a second.
“Charge!”
Throwing money at the issue worked for Shane. His bodyguards were giving all they’ve got into the fight now.
Ivor and Jim formed a perimeter around Bonnie and kept her in the center of it, protecting her from every assailant.
Realizing that there were more bodyguards around them, she couldn’t help but frown. “Stop trying to protect me. Let me give you a hand. I can lighten your load if I join in the fight. I’ll just avoid using my hands.”
Jim parted his lips. He was about to say something when he heard Ivor’s voice.
“That won’t be necessary. You’re injured. So, just concentrate on resting. Don’t concern yourself with everything else.”
“That’s right. Get some rest. I mean it when I tell you to leave the fight to us. We’re going to keep you safe, and that’s that.” Jim agreed with Ivor wholeheartedly.
She looked helpless and said, “Alright. Okay. I’ll do as you guys say.”
‘I just can’t argue with both of them. They’re treating me as if I’m some helpless damsel. When have I been that weak?’
