Selene screamed in surprise, crossed her arms in front of her chest for protection, and dodged to the side to avoid Alan. She is naturally not ready to this.
Alan's face darkened immediately. He said with disdain, "What are you hiding for? Do you still think I will let you off?"
Selene's heart hammered fiercely. The man before her made her fearful and appalled, and the thought of yielding to him made her miserable. Her heart is full of disgust for this man.
She opened her large, tearful eyes and stared at Alan with anguish. "You previously promised to treat me well and let me feel your sincerity so I would fall in love with you and voluntarily offer myself. During this period, I changed my perception of you and formed positive feelings for you. Are you trying to ruin everything by doing this to me now? You said you will wait for me when I am ready to give myself to you."
Alan Carroll laughed scornfully. "Forget it!" Don't even try to fool me with such words. I've been teasing women since I was a youngster, and I've seen more tricks than you, so keep it! Love? That is ridiculous. I have never believed in true love. That's something I say to entice you dumb women into becoming personal with me! I am not interested in discussing love and romance with you right now. I just want to sleep with you. So come here."
As he spoke, he pushed her into a corner and pounced again.
Bang, Bang!
The bedroom door was unexpectedly tapped on several times.
Sophia was the only one who could knock at this time.
Alan, enraged at being interrupted again, whirled around and said, "Damn it!" Why is that brat so stubborn?! This time, I'll have to kick her hard a few times to ensure she learns to behave herself!"
Alan approached the door with a menace.
Although Sophia was his trump card, all he had to do was keep her alive. Ethan wouldn't be able to hurt him, even if he taught her a lesson to make her behave herself!
"No! Please do not lose your temper with her! I will get her to go to her room right away!" Selene rushed over to stop Alan.
Sophia was young and defenseless. If Alan kicked her hard in a fit of rage, she would undoubtedly be seriously harmed. Her life may potentially be in jeopardy!
However, Selene was unable to stop Alan in time. He had already wrenched open the room door while cursing profusely. "Little brat, I told you to stay quiet. "Don't you understand..."
Alan quickly stopped cursing, and a horrified expression appeared on his face. He gazed straight at the entrance, and a hand clamped down on his leg, which he had stretched outward.
This hand did not belong to the minor child, Sophia. It belongs to a man.
Dylan, Ethan's underling, stood in the doorway unexpectedly!
"You. you... why..."
Alan was dumbfounded. He was overcome with shock and fear, and his mind went blank. He could not form a complete sentence. He was utterly surprised to see them in front of him. He was sure that no one knew this location.
Only when he felt a sudden and searing pain in his ankle did he snap back to reality and scream in despair.
Dylan gripped Alan's ankle hard, strengthening his grip and instantly shattering it with a loud crack!
"Ah!" Alan Carroll screamed at the top of his lungs as he collapsed to the ground, unable to stand due to the intense pain.
"How dare you attempt to harm a child, filth! I want to kill you," Dylan yelled with wrath. He dragged Alan out of the room with his broken ankle and slammed him into the coffee table in the living room!
Various sounds burst out and clattered as the wooden coffee table with thin legs was swiftly smashed, and the vases and teacups on the coffee table tumbled to the marble floor and shattered!
Alan felt dizzy from the slam, and the bones in his back appeared to be on the edge of snapping. He was unable to get up for a long time. He can feel pain from his body everywhere due to the slam on the table.
He screamed in anguish, which was spreading across his back, waist, and other regions of his body. The agony in his ankle was so terrible that he felt faint and about to black out. He almost could not take this any longer.
Unfortunately, he no longer had the right to faint.
Alan forced himself to gaze at Dylan despite the cold sweat on his forehead. "H-how did you find this place?"
This villa, which Alan had secretly purchased in someone else's name, was mainly designed for him to hide the women he admired and commit some heinous crimes. Alan had always considered this spot the safest because it was not his own. In that scenario, how did Dylan and Ethan find this location?
Dylan laughed derisively. "It's all thanks to you leading the way, dimwit!"
"Leading the way?" After some thought, Alan realized Dylan and Ethan had followed him here, and everything he heard them say through the listening device was intended to make him relax!
At this point, his heart was filled with regret. Why was I so careless and easily duped by that jerk Ethan?!
In truth, Alan had arranged for additional bodyguards to guard the villa so Selene would not escape.
They were also Alan's bodyguards, who were responsible for his protection here. But wait, where are those bodyguards?
But Dylan had entered; therefore, the bodyguards outside had been dealt with! After all, Alan had seen Dylan's fearsome combat abilities in the pub earlier. No questions that Dylan already broke all the bones of his bodyguards.
Alan's cheeks paled as he considered this. At that exact moment, his heart was filled with more fear than ever!
I've completed it!
Alan dared to threaten Ethan at the pub because he still held Ethan's Achilles heel, Sophia, hostage.
But Ethan and Dylan had discovered him, and his best trump card, Sophia, had vanished!
Previously, Ethan could remove Luisa Thorn discreetly with a single order. He dared to kill!
Alan clenched his teeth in horror as he recalled Ethan's awful power. Terror in his heart. This feeling has not been familiar to him since he was a child.
If Ethan wanted to kill him right now, he could do so with a single command...
"I—I was mistaken. I apologize, and I will reimburse you as much as you desire! But you cannot kill me... I am a Carroll. If you kill me, my family will not let you off!" Alan begged bitterly, weeping and raising his family to discourage Ethan and Dylan.
"Hmph, the Carrolls are no big deal," Dylan remarked contemptuously.
At this point, someone said coldly, "Break his legs, knock him out, and drag him away!"
