Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Being chased by bodyguards?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

A dozen men in uniform had come outside the room.

They were searching around and shouting something in their mouths.

Catherine’s personal bodyguard, Coster, was among them.

His sharp eyes were looking around, and at the same time, he tried to say something to dismantle Catherine’s defenses.

“Miss Catherine, stop hiding. You can’t get away, no matter what.”

After he said this, there was still no response in the room.

“Master is furious now. If the John family finds out that you ran away with another man a few days before your wedding, you know what kind consequences it will await him.”

“That’s right, Master has said that.”

Coster was silent for a moment. He then said, “He said that no matter what, the marriage between you and the John family is a foregone conclusion.”

“Even if you die, he will still give your body to the John Family.”

After he said this, the bodyguards were all stunned.

They had no choice but to work for the wealthy families just to earn a living.

They thought they had seen enough dirty deeds, but what they heard just now still made their blood run cold.

Was it true that in wealthy families, only profit mattered and true love had to take a second seat?

Even if this young woman died, they would still have to give her body to John’s family?

So heartless?

But didn’t John do the indecent thing to a man?

In that moment of silence, the door of the room suddenly open ajar.

The door was creaking open.

It seemed to protest what Coster said.

“This is…” Coster looked at the door.

He saw a figure approaching from afar like a meteorite. He felt it was going to crush him.

He wanted to dodge, but he didn’t have any time to react.

He only had time to raise his arm.

After a while, he slowly lowered his arm.

The cold sweat was trickling down Coster’s forehead.

His vision blurred. He vaguely saw the figure of a man bringing Catherine down stairs. She was wearing a nightgown. The man was quick, and he was holding Catherine’s hand tightly.

Coster was terrified.

He was almost hit just now. If that happened, he would definitely be seriously injured at that speed.

Meanwhile, the two of them had gone.

All that was left was the dust in the basement.

“Damn it! Who was it? Who was it?” Coster was enraged.

The reason he was enraged was that the man was holding the hand of Catherine, who had a marriage agreement with John’s family right in front of him.

Of course, there was also another reason: he flinched in front of that man.

He was terrified.

“Chase him!”

With a roar, Coster came to his senses and shouted to the bodyguard beside him, “Bring the young lady back!”

..

The two ran and jumped into the Ferrari Enzo.

In the bustling night of New York, the window of the Ferrari Enzo rolled down.

The night wind blew Catherine’s beautiful hair as she recalled Coster’s words, the ruthless words of her grandfather. She had always been a proud person, but she was told that her grandfather was treating her like this.

“Don’t think that I won’t know you crying just because you opened the car window and let the wind dry your tears.”

Kota suddenly spoke.

His hands were on the steering wheel, and his head was tilted. He smiled and said, “I hate silly women the most. They pretend to be strong.”

But her sadness did not last long before the effect of her nightgown took effect. Her melancholy seemed to charm.

Unfortunately, Kota was focused on driving. Otherwise…

In a private old residential area near the center of New York City.

The rich people in New York liked to buy houses here to show off their unique taste.

Of course, part of the reason was that they envied the big shots who could live here since they were young.

Therefore, when they became rich, they would have special feelings for this place and would spend a lot of money to live here.

At this moment.

A pure black limousine approached from afar and drove into the garden of one of the massive old mansions.

A few burly men in black suits came out of the car.

The leading man was a nervous-looking Coster.

After he got out of the car, he tried to calm himself down before knocking on the door.

When the door opened, the head of an old servant popped out.

“Master is waiting for you.”

The old servant was emotionless, and there was a horrible scar on his face.

Coster bowed respectfully to the servant. “Thank you, Butler Blake.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into a room.

In the antique-designed study room, there were at least a few million-dollar paintings and calligraphy on the walls.

On the long wooden table in the middle of the room, ink, paper, and inkstone were strewn on the ground.

Even the expensive wooden floor was splashed with ink stains.

Coster gulped. “Master, Miss Catherine was kidnapped by a man in his twenties.”

“Was she kidnapped, or did she do it of her own free will?”

Catherine’s grandfather, Moanke, asked calmly in the dim light behind the wooden table.

Coster could clearly feel how cold Moanke’s tone of voice was.

Moanke was known as the underground king of New York.

He controlled almost a third of New York’s entertainment venues.

But even so, he didn’t feel the slightest sense of security.

Because he understood that everything he had now could be destroyed with just one word from the self-proclaimed Heavenly Punishment gang controlled by the John family.

So this was also why he had to let his granddaughter marry the heir of the Heavenly Punishment gang.

Because as long as Catherine married the heir of the Heavenly Punishment gang, then how could Yan and Yun Ye factions, who had always been against him in the business world, continue to be so arrogant?

As long as Heavenly Punishment was willing to come forward, those two competitors would not dare to say a word.

When the time came, they would snatch what they could. And if not, they would buy it with money.

Whether it was the casino or the entertainment venues, these places that made money would all belong to him.

Especially two days later when everyone would come to the Lee family to congratulate them.

At such a critical moment, John had done that kind of thing at the cocktail party, and even Catherine had run away. This made Moanke extremely angry.

“The young lady was kidnapped,” Coster said as he braced himself in his master’s sharp gaze.

After a moment of silence, Moanke nodded. “Did I tell you Catherine has a bad temper, but she knows what is right and wrong since young, didn’t I?”

His tense muscle eased up in his face. “Then, who do you think is the man who kidnapped Catherine?”

“Master, it must be Yan and Yunye feeling a sense of crisis as the marriage of the young lady to the heir of Heavenly Punishment would threaten their existence.”

Cold sweat was dripping down Coster’s forehead, but he was still making things up. “So I think there’s no one else other than these two families.”

“I heard from Blake that you saw the man who kidnapped Joey with your own eyes?”

“Yes, he first attracted the young lady’s attention at the cocktail party before abducting her. He drove a Ferrari Enzo. A person like him probably had a lot of money,” Coster quickly said. “But don’t worry, Master. I will use all my connections to find out who is behind him.”

“Okay.”

“Master, get some rest. I will go now,” Coster said.

“Wait a second.”

“After you find out if Yan and Yunye are behind this, do nothing. Let me know first.”

Gauss nodded. “Understood.”

“We must not let Heaven’s Punishment know that the young lady is missing. Otherwise…”

“Don’t worry, Master. I will make sure no one knows that.”
