MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 27 Continue

Isaac stared at scarlete's sorry figure.

She was just a target in the game, but why… why did he feel uncomfortable when he saw her being treated like this?

It was because… even if she was a target in their twisted games, he could not allow others to touch her. Even if he wanted to

torture her, he was the only one who could do it. No one, no one else was allowed.

This is what he told himself.

After a while, he turned around and left.

Sean who was standing not far away looked at scarlete’s back and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
Audrey, who was next to him, grind her teeth in anger claire is really lucky daniel that idiot, can’t he be less ostentatious? He just had to disturb isaac.
Hendrix shrugged, but his gaze remained on claire.
Nathan greeted Manager Dong.
Nathan stared at daniel as if he was looking at a dead man.

They were all the same, these wealthy young men. Too much

money, too little control. Always someone to clean up their messes. But dan, he had gone too far today. And the foolish man was about to pay the price for provoking someone under Mr.landford’s protection.
It was a coincidence that Mr.landford .
Mr.landford happened to be al the club today, and had seen what had just happened.

What might have befallen the young woman had they not been here?

What would befall daniel if he’d successfully followed through with his assault on her nathan had heard the commotion- the ‘disturbance’ as his boss had called it-and he’d seen the Mayer's heir and several other people watching on while Miss Gray was nearly drowned in a decorative pond of all the things…

He considered himself a master at his role and as the direct liaison to Landford Group’s President nathan took his job seriously.
What would Mr.landford do?
He knew exactly what his young boss would expect.
Nathan said to the security guard at the side, “Whatever he did just now, do it again.”
The security guards immediately heeded the order. Two strong and powerful guards dragged daniel directly to the side of the pool  grabbed the back of his head, and dunked him into the water over and over again, just like dan had been doing to scarlete before!

As for those ex-classmates who came out to spectate, as well as lewis and audrey they were all a little dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that things would develop like this?
The security guards seemed to have no intention of going easy on him. Manager Wang had no intention of pleading for daniel either.
Good. They all knew who the real muscle was in this city.
After all, the Brook family was only one of the shareholders of this club. At present, merely the son of a shareholder had been sacrificed. Manager Dong knew the other shareholders would want to be on the right side of Everest Isaac Landford.
Nathan turned his head and his gaze fell on Lewis  and Audrey.
Audrey was the first to come to her senses. She smiled and said, “I’m sorry for letting Mr. Landford wait . We’ll go to see him now.”

“No need nathan said calmly. He’d overheard every word this young couple had said to daniel. “Mr. Landford said that he won’t have time to meet the two of you today anymore. The both of you may go back.”
With that nathan left without waiting for the two to react.
Scarlete returned to the Sanitation Service Center, still shaken.

“My goodness, girl, why are you drenched? Did you fall into the river anna  asked. Then she saw the state of claire’s torn clothes, and her teasing tone evaporated. “Did something happen when you sent the documents?”claire took a deep breath and slowly said, “The documents… never mind, just now… I accidentally fell into a small pool.”
“It’s such a cold day, you need to go home and change out of your clothes-and dry your hair anna said claire nodded.
Anna stood by awkwardly while claire grabbed her purse and phone from her locker. “Hey, I’m not sure this is even the right time, but ryan asked me about you. He’s interested. And he’s a nice guy claire.”
Claire  slammed her locker closed anna  I’ve said that I don’t want to be in a relationship now. Why don’t you help me with claire and instead of encouraging him, why don’t you tell him not to put his hopes in me anymore? It’ll only be a waste of time.”
Anna sighed. “If you really don’t have the heart to take a chance on him, I will tell ryan. But I want it noted that I think you’re wasting a great opportunity here.’
Claire nodded. She was too tired to argue.

“Seriously claire, that is no way to live through. You don’t really want to be alone until you die!”

Inexplicably, a handsome face appeared in claire’s mind.

She’d have isaac Well, not in the romantic sense. But they’d be family. And that would be enough.
“I appreciate you anna,” claire said before starting her long walk home.
In the evening, when claire returned to her apartment isaac was already there.
“I, uh, I’ll get dinner started in a moment. I just need to shower first.”isaac grabbed hold of her hand. “You’re soaking wet and it isn’t raining She bit her lip.
He reached out gently and touched her shirt where it was torn. “How did this happen?”
The question was delivered in an even tone, but she sensed the emotion coursing in him.
Isaac’s eyes burned into hers. “Sister, did anything happen to you today?”
“What would have happened to me? I’ve just been sweeping the road like I usually do,” she said. She did not want to tell him
what had transpired. What could he do?
And with his stomach, what if news of her assault upset him?
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
She tried to move past him into the bathroom, but he caught her by the hand.
She winced.Isaac rubbed the wound.
A dime-sized hole that was swollen and bleeding.
Compliments of one well-placed stiletto heel and a hundred and ten pounds of force.

“What about this isaac  said. “Is this an occupational hazard too.
