Chapter 54
Chapter 54
Seeing Howard break in, the three men who were tied up on the ground called for help. "Howard, help
us."
Howard ignored them and walked straight forward. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Xavier,
who was sitting on the sofa. Xavier's face was familiar to him, but he did not remember who he was for
a moment.
He didn't think much about it.
However, Xavier remembered Howard. He was the man who chased Arya into his villa.
Howard bowed to Eli. "Sir, please give them another chance."
"Yes, we've been working for you for a long time. Even if we didn't achieve anything, we did work hard."
Eli was not a man easy to be fooled with. If he was stupid, he had been killed by his boss long ago.
He glanced coldly at the three of them on the ground, and finally, his eyes fell on Howard. "In the past, I
had considered that you were working hard for me. I also turned a blind eye to your mistakes, but my
kindness did not make you restrain. You dared to provoke someone you shouldn't."
"Sir..."
"Shut up. If you dare to say another word, you will be punished as well!"
"Howard, help us." One of them grabbed Howard's trousers and didn't let go. "We know we're wrong.
Please help us."
Howard was also very angry. They actually took private jobs behind his back and created such a big
mess.
But they had been following him for a long time, and he could not watch them being secretly executed.
Howard was still trying to convince Eli when a deep voice sounded. "If you want another chance, I'll
give it to them."
Howard was still hesitating. Eli's words made him understand how much trouble his men had caused.
"Mr. Jones gave you a chance. Hurry up and thank him."
'Mr. Jones?'
Howard glared at the three embarrassed men on the ground angrily. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Jones, thank you if you can show them mercy."
Xavier wanted to give them a quick death. Of course, he wouldn't do it himself, but ask Eli to do it.
But now he wanted to do it in another way.
He wanted to let Howard and his three men continue to ask Estella for money and blackmail her.
Well, he wanted to ask these four people to pester Estella, and she wouldn't be able to get rid of him.
"Did we do what you asked, and you let them go?" Howard asked carefully.
Xavier stood up and pretended to flick the dust off his body.
"It depends on your performance."
The vague answer still gave them hope. After all, it was better to have a chance than not.
Howard was a bad man, but was very kind and loyal, especially to his men.
After Xavier left, Eli got up and walked past Howard, patting him on the shoulder. "Although you haven't
been with me for a long time, I admire you very much. After this, work for me."
"Thank you, sir."
In Eli's opinion, Xavier was going to let them go.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them this chance.
But he didn't know that Xavier had his plan.
He did this only to teach Estella a lesson with their hands.
As for letting them go, it was impossible.
In the villa, Arya was alone, but she didn't dare to go out at this time, just in case Xavier suddenly came
back.
Just as she was bored and didn't know what to do, the doorbell of the villa rang.
Arya thought it was Xavier, but she didn't expect it was Sunny.
She was accompanied by a kind middle-aged woman.
"Jacob told me to bring them here." the driver explained.
Arya said she knew, and then she grabbed Sunny's hand in.
Sunny glanced at the villa and said with a smile, "He treats you very well."
"Treat me well?"
"Is that true?" She asked herself.
Arya did not think so. The relationship between them was just a deformed relationship driven by
interests.
Well, treating her well was just a face job.
Sunny pulled Arya aside, whispering, and asked her to look at Nanny Joy, who was standing not far
away. "She was especially found to take care of you and he provides you such a luxurious villa. Maybe
he has some kind of true feelings for you."
Arya looked at her gossiping face. She knew Sunny didn't mean that, so she hugged her. "Thank you,
Sunny."
She found that she could not change the way she used to call Sunny when she was in the club.
Sunny didn't say anything. If she accepted her thanks, she would be more relaxed. Then she would do.
"You must be Arya." Nanny Joy came over to say hello.
Arya let go of Sunny and nodded. "I am."
"I'm Joy. Jacob arranged for me to come over and take care of you."
Nanny Joy explained why she came.
"Thank you." Arya was quite surprised by this. If it was not for Xavier's order, Jacob wouldn't have
arranged this.
If he had planned to find someone to take care of her before, she wouldn't have thought too much.
It happened at this time.
Did he not deal with Estella?
Was all this just to comfort her?
The more she thought about it, the more likely Arya felt she was right.
She could not help but feel a little down.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Sunny patted Arya on the shoulder. "You're lost in thought."
"No... Nothing."
"Then show me around. I haven't lived in such a big villa before." Sunny held Arya's hand.
Halfway up the mountain, far from the noise of the city, this place was quiet and the air was fresh.
Outside the villa, there was a large bamboo forest. In front of the villa, there was a yard to be the
parking lot and a small garden for walking.
There were row chairs and stone tables.
With Sunny's accompany, Arya was not so bored, and the day passed quickly.
Nanny Joy prepared the dinner for them. After dinner, Sunny went back to her room first. "I'm sleepy. I'll
go to bed first."
"Yes." Arya replied.
She was actually afraid that Xavier would come back and disturb them.
She lived in the guest room downstairs.
Although it was a guest room, it was also more luxurious than a five-star hotel.
Everything was equipped.
Arya also thought Xavier would come back but he didn't.
It was Jacob who came.
Xavier said that he didn't care about his family on the surface, but he still cared in his heart. So he went
back to the old residence early and had dinner with his parents.
"Why are you here so late?"
Jacob smiled. "I'm here to see if you're happy with the house?"
"Very good. Thank you."
Arya let him in.
"What would you like to drink?" Arya asked.
"Anything will do." Jacob replied.
Arya went into the kitchen, made two cups of coffee, and handed one to Jacob.
Jacob stood up from the sofa. Arya gestured him to sit down and she sat across him.
"Jacob, do you have something to say?"
She didn't think that Jacob came just to see if she was used to living here.
Jacob had worked for Xavier for a long time.
No matter what happened, Xavier didn't want to have anything to do with those gangsters.
But for this woman in front of him, Xavier got involved.
The onlookers could see clearly.
Xavier would do this, but he was obsessed with this woman.
He wanted Arya to know...
