Charles lounged casually on the bed, his slender, graceful fingers reaching for a cigarette. Remembering something, he changed his mind and put it back.

Yolanda lay back, clearly still unsettled by what had just happened. “Did you catch them?” Yolanda asked.

“Yeah. Wanna come take a look?” Charles replied.

“Sure,” Yolanda said.

Charles expected her to refuse, but to his surprise, Yolanda sat up. ‘Guess I got her all wrong, he thought.

Charles had houses everywhere–no matter which city you named, he probably owned a place there. Right now, that bunch of guys was kneeling in his local villa, looking totally pathetic.

Their hands were tied behind their backs and their legs were bound like prisoners. Surrounded by Charles’s black–clad bodyguards, they instantly realized they’d seriously messed with someone way out of their league.

The guy with the crew cut stuck out his neck, his voice shaky. “We swear we had no idea who that woman was! Somebody just threw cash at us! If we’d known she was untouchable, we wouldn’t have laid a finger on her- no matter how gutsy we thought we were.”

They were all a mess, battered and bruised, faces swollen and bloodied—a clear sign they’d gotten the beating of their lives.

Charles walked in slowly and settled into a nearby chair, his every move full of unforced grace and calm assurance that came naturally to him.

The crew cut guy’s eyes contracted in fright when he saw Charles, and his whole body started trembling.

Charles found the sight amusing, propping his chin up with one hand. “Who sent you?” he asked.

The crew cut guy’s face turned ghostly white, a cold chill crawling up his spine until his scalp prickled.

Even though Charles hadn’t uttered a single threat, the guy felt as if a blade was quietly suspended right above his head.

His lips quivered and he started bowing his head frantically. “It was Cedric! We were just following orders and taking money, that’s all! Please, don’t hold it against us!”

Charles looked completely indifferent, lowering his gaze.

He and Cedric definitely had bad blood, but Cedric wouldn’t go out of his way to make trouble for him like

this.

‘Was this aimed at Yolanda?‘ Charles wondered.
