Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1059 Planning Their Escape

After Jerry and Sasha's departure, the room was only left with three burly men with guns as well as Colton and the others.

Colton sat on the couch with his legs crossed, an air of nonchalance emanating off him, as if he was unaware of the situation outside. He lowered his eyes, his long and well-defined fingers gently tapping on nothing, as if he was deep in thought.

After some time, he slowly lifted his head to look at Dominic and said, "Pass me the cup of tea in front of you."

Dominic chuckled as he reached out and handed him the cup while teasing him, "It seems like you're not even willing to take a step yourself, Mr. Gardner."

"Things sound intense outside. I wonder if the fight will make it inside." Colton furrowed his brow, feigning a look of worry.

"I don't think so. Don't we have these three to protect us?" Dominic raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the three men as the smile on his face slowly grew wider.

The three men were there to keep an eye on them, but their conversation caught them off guard.

Dominic jutted out his chin and continued, "Exactly. Why don't you people go to the entrance to see if they're headed this way? If they're coming toward us, we'd have time to hide ourselves."

The three men with guns began to hesitate upon hearing Dominic's remarks.

Dominic let out a small chuckle as if noticing their apprehension. There was a hint of mirth in his eyes as he went on, "What is there to think about? You have guns, and we're completely helpless. Are you afraid we'll fight back? We're Jerry's esteemed guests, you know. If anything happens to us or we lose our lives here, A's reputation will be tarnished."

Colton looked at him as he leisurely leaned on the couch, reaching out to stop him. "Forget it, Dominic, don't force them. I don't think they have the nerve to do something like that, anyway. After all, with all the chaos outside, it's still safer to stay indoors. You know humans, we're all afraid of death, and no one is an exception to that rule."

Colton's breezy words immediately caused the three men to furrow their brows.

In the end, one of them stepped forward and said, "I'll take a look outside. The two of you stay here and keep watch."

The other two nodded in assent. Although they were aware of Dominic and Colton's identities, they had guns with them, so they were far from worried.

The first man left the room to take a look outside after that. At the same time, Colton and Dominic's gazes clashed midair, as if they were scheming something, and before the other two could react, they were already sent crashing to the ground.

As Nicole watched their swift and skilled actions, she finally grasped the intent behind their provoking words earlier—they sent one of the guards out as they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to take him on.
