Chapter 496

Holden held his forehead.

After keeping his promise to return control of Zaewora to the Hoffman family, he never expected them to strike back in an attempt to wipe out Tarragon's influence there.

“Mr. Lewitt, shall we head to Zaewora? The Hoffman family has gone too far. Now that they have yet to stabilize their presence, we can use the opportunity to take back Zaewora and annihilate them once and for all.”

When Holden's gaze fell upon Wendy, the wry smile she was wearing caused him to reply with a frown, “You should head out first. Let me consider our options.”

As the black-clad lady threw the pathetic-looking Wendy a glance, she reminded him through her greeted teeth, “Mr. Lewitt, this woman is a daughter of the Hoffman family and used to be its heir. Considering the bad blood between Tarragon and the Hoffman family, your close relationship with her will only bring you disaster.”

Giving her the side-eye, Holden asserted, “Don't stick your nose into my business. Now, get out!”

“But...”

“Out!”

Once the woman was gone, Wendy held her arm as she gradually sat down.

Looking up at Holden, she remarked in a hoarse voice, “Even though I have been kicked out of the Hoffman family, their blood still courses through my veins. There's no way I'm going to allow anyone to harm them. Holden, if you insist on taking on the Hoffman family, you had better be prepared to feel my wrath. At the end of it, no one will survive unscathed.”

After throwing her a brief yet intent look, Holden walked to the door and reassured her, “Give me some time. I'll deal with this properly without putting you in a difficult position.”

Wendy responded with silence.
