Chapter 111 Justin was taken by someone unknown

Richard knew Erin was up to her usual antics.

"Bark!"

"Bark!"

Suddenly, the tranquil silence outside Tranquil Manor was pierced by barks, and a massive black Labrador came bounding toward them.

"Ah!" Erin screamed, nearly leaping onto Richard and clinging to him desperately.

Erin was afraid of dogs, everyone working for the Ryan family knew that.

Being Erin's bodyguard was, for the most part, a walk in the park, on a danger-free day. The most he'd have to do was shield his employer from dogs.

Richard couldn't fathom why Erin harbored such an intense fear of dogs, but the sheer panic in her eyes suggested it wasn't simply fear, it hinted at a harrowing past

encounter.

Perhaps a dog bite.

"Richard, get it away, please get it away!" Erin's voice cracked, her body tensed, clinging desperately to his waist.

With one arm securely around Erin, Richard's eyes darkened as he stared down the intruding canine.

For safety, Erin's residence was situated in the middle of the lake, far from neighbors who might own dogs. This was someone's doing.

"Lincoln, Eaton, follow that dog and find out who's it is." After scaring off the dog, Richard ordered the other bodyguards to trace its origins.

"The dog's gone, you can let go now." Richard's grip loosened, signaling for Erin to dismount him.

Her antics left the other bodyguards dumbfounded.

Yet Erin's daily flirtations with Richard had become routine for them.

Her response was stubborn. "I'm not letting go." She continued clinging to him.

As Richard reached to gently pull her off, he felt a damp coolness on his shoulder. "Crying?"

She was silent, her head resting on his shoulder as she sought refuge in his steady presence.

She didn't want to let go.
