The Protector

Just a while ago, they had even laughed at Helena for being stubborn. Thinking about it now, the woman certainly made the right choice.

Shawn whacked his own forehead. “I should’ve known! Triple Group is ruthless and greedy. They’ve had their dark past dug up in recent years. There’s no way we’d ever get a single cent out of them. We were too naïve.”

Steve dashed their hopes even further. “Most importantly, we can’t reveal any of this. The contract says we’ll end up in jail if we expose what’s happening.”

Behind him were about a dozen bodyguards watching over his safety.

“So, you’ve read your contracts, I presume?”

Horace smirked insidiously.

Maurice rushed toward him, only to be held back by the guards.
