The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 1074

His laptop contained a wealth of information about the organization. If this sensitive data were to be exposed, Donald and his associates wouldn't need to take any direct action; the organization would send someone to take his life.

In this critical moment, Aspen recognized the immense significance of that computer more than anyone else. He even wished that all his subordinates could be deployed to scour the area for that computer.

Just as Aspen was about to lose his temper, two of his subordinates crashed through a wall, hurtling outside.

These two subordinates plummeted to the ground like lifeless sandbags, their bodies convulsing uncontrollably.

Gazing toward the shattered wall, Penelope, attired in a suit, could be seen sauntering nonchalantly from the hole in the wall, clutching a laptop in her hand.

“So it really is you.”

Aspen's countenance darkened. “Surrender the laptop, and I might consider sparing your life.”

He had good reason to speak so confidently.

The instant Penelope came into his line of sight, the other bodyguards swiftly trained their firearms on her.

These guns were loaded with godbreaker bullets, and if Penelope dared to make a rash move, these bodyguards wouldn't hesitate to unleash a hail of bullets upon her.

Penelope remained silent, her gaze fixed on Donald, who was engaged in a fight with the cyborg.

Aspen surmised that Penelope might be counting on Donald to come to her aid.

With a cold sneer, Aspen said, “He's too busy saving his own skin right now, I doubt he has the time to look after you. If you're willing to hand over the laptop to me, I might just spare your life. Otherwise...”

Aspen refrained from issuing a direct order to open fire because he harbored concerns that the bullets might inadvertently damage the laptop during the shooting process.

However, in Aspen's perspective, a damaged laptop was a more acceptable outcome compared to a potential data breach.

Therefore, if Penelope refused to cooperate, Aspen believed there was no need for further words.

Indeed, Penelope averted her gaze from Donald.

It was not that she felt Donald didn't have time to come save her, but instead, she sensed that Donald was deeply engrossed in the ongoing battle and in a heightened state of concentration, clearly exhilarated.
