Chapter 793: you know her?

Gasp!

The men in Penny's group from the kitchen gasped, covering their mouths at the sudden turn of events. Meanwhile, the others in the kitchen, who were peeking from the entrance, froze in place. Their mouths dropped open, wide-eyed.

Everyone stood frozen, their dilated eyes locked on William's body. Several red lights glinted off him, and they all knew that one wrong move would send blood spilling. Deep lines formed between their brows as the shock slowly subsided, replaced by utter confusion.

They could only wonder what was going on-until their eyes landed on Mark.

"Ack-" William's breath hitched the moment he met Mark's gaze. He instinctively pulled his finger back, but his face twisted when Mark yanked his hand away. Then, Mark's voice cut through the air: "Keep your hands to yourself, William Pierson."

When Mark let go, William staggered back, clutching his strained finger. When he looked up at Mark, he gasped in disbelief.

"What's going on here?" Dean muttered under his breath, darting his eyes between William and Mark. His gaze shifted toward Penny, confusion knitting his brows.

If not for Mark, Dean would've assumed all the security displays were Penny's men. After all, Penny owned one of the largest security firms in the country and internationally. It made sense that her security would be as tight as any world leader's. But the person near Penny wasn't one of her men-it was Mark, Zoren's original chief of security.

For some time, no one had seen Mark near Zoren. They assumed he was still stationed at Pierson Corporation's small headquarters, located in a volatile country. No one had realized he had returned to the country. Well, no one had seen him around Zoren because Zoren had always been with this other new security guy from the Prime Group.
