As they realized that the sizeable compensation they were on the verge of receiving was slipping away, the burly men grew bolder and disregarded their prior fear of the bodyguards. Their voices rose to maximum volume as they yelled defiantly.
"An eye for an eye! If you won't give us money, then give us your life as compensation!"
"You evil woman! You're taking human lives just because you have power and money. God won't let you get away with it! You'll pay for it soon enough!"
"You wretched woman! You're dead!"
Desperate and enraged, the muscle-bound men charged at Janet, intending to attack her.
Brandon's bodyguards, however, who were all well -trained in combat, swiftly subdued them before they could even take a step forward.
As the belligerent, brawny men had been completely overpowered by the bodyguards, they resolved not to attempt any more aggression. Instead, they continued to hurl insults at Janet, using derogatory terms such as "murderer" and "bitch", causing a lot of commotion.
They had initially underestimated Janet, assuming that as a vulnerable woman, she would be easily intimidated and manipulated. To their surprise, however, she displayed unwavering resolve and stood her ground, backed by strong, formidable bodyguards who made it impossible for them to extort her.
It was surprising that the media reporters outside the room didn't react to the commotion inside. Their absence thwarted the burly men's plans, as
they had been relying on them to provide some leverage in successfully putting pressure on Janet.
The unruly behavior of these men infuriated Janet, and her face became flush with anger. Since they had made it clear that civil conversation was not an option, she decided to adopt a more assertive stance and not show any mercy in dealing with them.
Without any hesitation, Janet motioned to the bodyguards and ordered them to pin the men down to the table and gag them with pieces of cloth.
Despite their attempts to resist, the burly men found that they were no match for the highly-skilled bodyguards. Their feeble efforts were quickly subdued, leaving them immobilized with nothing to do but whimper. Their eyes kept darting towards Suzanne, as though they were quietly pleading to her to come to their aid.
