A few men blocked David's way and punched him in the face.
"Ugh!"
The punch struck David in the jaw, causing intense pain that made him unable to hold onto anything. He held his jaw and made a sound of agony.
Joanna, free at last, immediately ran away from David.
A man stepped in front of her, his voice courteous: "Ms. Joanna, are you okay?"
Joanna looked at the man in black who was standing in front of her. She felt both curious and surprised: "You are ..."
"Ms. Joanna, Mr. Ashton sent us to pick you up. He wishes to meet you."
"Mr. Ashton? Your Mr. Ashton is ..." Joanna paused, her puzzlement deepening.
She initially thought that these men in black were arranged by Ashton Heath.
But it didn't seem the case now.
If Ashton Heath wanted to see her, he could just come to her directly. He didn't need to send bodyguards to fetch her.
Plus, at this hour, he should be in Closia.
"Ms. Joanna, you know our Mr. Ashton. His last name is Parker."
