Chapter 768: They Were Blocked

Tina's smile was like frost flowers blooming in the dead of winter-exquisitely beautiful, but sharp enough to sting.

Even for Adriana Smith, who wasn't the brightest, it was clear that Tina wasn't negotiating with her.

Adriana's hands trembled as she weakly pried at Tina's iron grip around her throat. Her eyes rolled back, sweeping over the gathered crowd.

Just moments ago, these same people had stood with her, united in their disdain for the Dyer family, treating them as a common enemy. Now, they avoided her gaze, shrinking back as though fearing for their lives.

No one dared to step in, not even to offer a word of comfort. Everyone present could see that Tina was not someone to be trifled with-especially with Hayden standing behind her.

Hayden's skills were nothing short of jaw-dropping.

The crowd had thought the two bodyguards were intimidating enough, capable of kicking down a sturdy door with a single blow. But Hayden? He had taken care of those two bodyguards as effortlessly as one swats a fly. His strength was terrifyingly evident.

Adriana Smith's lips quivered. "I... I agree..."

"Smart choice," Tina replied with a satisfied nod, finally releasing her hold on Adriana's throat.

As air rushed back into her lungs, Adriana clutched her chest and coughed violently. Her glare toward Tina brimmed with venom, but just as she opened her mouth to speak, her eyes widened in shock.

A sudden gust of wind swept past her ears, followed by a sharp pain at her neck. Darkness engulfed her before she could even cry out.

Tina straightened slowly, her toe brushing off the hem of Adriana's dress. Her icy gaze swept across the room, pausing briefly on the dark surveillance camera mounted on the wall. Then, she turned her attention to Bronny.

The property manager shivered, his scalp tingling with fear. "Miss Reed, don't worry! The cameras are down today-there won't be any rumors, I swear!"

Tina didn't respond but gave a faint cough. "Hayden, stop playing around."
