The door was kicked open all of a sudden. Chuck rushed in, overwhelmed with rage.
Likewise, Landon was in a similar state as well. Chuck was actually standing in front of him!
He had already let Patricia go. How dare he do something like this!
Didn't Chuck come over just to show off his power over Landon? He had just wanted to remind him that his family was wealthier!
That wasn't a problem. Landon would let him have his glory this time.
But just for this day.
"One day, I'll make you pay a thousand times more for the disgrace you've inflicted upon me!" he promised in his mind.
"Chuck," Landon greeted calmly. Nothing much had happened anyway. He hadn't done anything to offend him just yet.
Chuck's moment of glory would be over soon. After that, Landon could still have his way with the gorgeous woman.
"Boom!"
Chuck swung his leg at Landon in an instant.
Landon screamed and fell to the ground. Clutching his abdomen, he was sweating buckets as he yelled, "Chuck, how dare you!"
He was positively fuming!
How dare Chuck humiliate him like this? He would remember this moment forever!
Landon gritted his teeth and managed to get up. This was more than enough! It had to end here.
However, Landon was taken aback by what he saw next.
After Chuck had kicked at Landon, he walked up to the lovely woman he had held captive. His face was pinched in distress.
What was going on? Did they know each other?
Landon's heart rate spiked in an instant...
"Honey," Chuck called while looking at Yvette. His heart felt like it was about to burst in agony.
There was blood trailing from the corner of her mouth and her face had turned red with Landon's palm prints all over.
How long had she been tormented like this?
He hurriedly untied her hands.
To be honest, Yvette hadn't felt anything when she had been hit by Landon just now. She could bear the pain. But upon seeing Chuck, her line of defense crumbled.
Tears started to leak out of her eyes involuntarily. She had been aggrievedly slapped again and again just now...
Chuck released Yvette's hands and saw that her wrists were entirely covered in scrapes and bruises. Chuck's heart broke into even more pieces at that and said, "Honey, what happened? Betty, call a doctor!"
Betty was also astonished. As it turned out, the reason Chuck had been so anxious to get here was that Yvette was here!
However, how did she end up here to begin with?
"Hubby, I'm fine," Yvette murmured softly. She really wanted to cry. Chuck had shown up in her hour of need yet again.
"Are you alright?" Chuck reached out and cupped her face gently. Yvette's face was in pain and swollen red.
"It hurts," Yvette whimpered. She didn't want to hide anything in front of Chuck.
"Alright, I'll stop touching it now. Why are you here, Honey?" Chuck asked anxiously. It still didn't make sense to him. How did Yvette even get to know Patricia?
"I..." Yvette trailed off. How should she reply? Should she admit to being an assassin and acknowledge her job to protect Patricia?
"Honey, let's not talk about this first, alright? I'll avenge you now! I'll have him killed in this instance!" Chuck swore, turning his head to glare at Landon. His eyes filled with killing intent.
How dare Landon beat his wife up like this?
Yvette felt warm and fuzzy inside and finally felt safe for a moment. Even if she was an assassin, she was still a woman after all. "Hubby..."
After receiving the murderous glare from Chuck, Landon shivered all over as if he had been splashed with a basin of freezing cold water.
Honey? Hubby?
Was the beautiful woman he had tormented Chuck's wife?
Landon was stumped. How was this possible? How could this happen?
Landon's heart was throbbing painfully in his chest. He had assumed that Chuck was here to show off, but he had never thought that...
He couldn't believe this!
He had actually beaten up Chuck's wife!
