“Uncle Bowen, something’s off with Muhree,” <b>Alvin </b>said
Bowen closed his eyes b
briefly. “Keep Aubree sale,” he ordered
Aubree waspletely numb to her surroundings now, her vacant eyes fired on the pool of blood on the ground. Aber es lifetime: Hailed someone she thought, stunned.
The thought haunted her. Just as she was on the verge of breaking down, someone draped a suit jacket over her head. The metallic tang of blood in her nose faded, reced by a scent she knew all too well.
“Bowen, killed someonel” Aubree sabbed uncontrobly, her voice breaking with panic.
“No, he’s not dead,” Bowen replied, his unwavering certainty instantly bringing her a sense of relief
Bowen added, “Don’t think about a thing now. l handle everything.”
Aubree’s taut <b>nerves </b>suddenly rxed, her body going limp as she copsed into unconsciousness.
y had a few minutes of relief before their scalps
Bowen had Aubree and I sent to the hospital for examination. As for the three thugs, they barely h prickled with dread.
Bowen <b>fixed </b>his murderous gare on them. They didn’t doubt for a second that he truly wanted them dead. A shiver ran down their spines Who are the real desperadoes here? they wondered in terror. ‘Us<b>, </b><b>or </b>this usually so refined and respectable Mr. Turner?”
Alvin knew what <b>his </b>uncle was nning “I’ll post <b>some </b>men at the entrance. Make it quick. The cops are almost here.”
Bowen grunted in response. With deliberate, unhurried movements, he pulled at his tie and undid his cufflinks. Under the stark garage lights, heada an incredibly menacing aura,
The three men, forced to crouch on the ground with their calves trembling uncontrobly, were already starting to regret taking this job
“What exactly did you guys do?” Bowen rolled his wrists as he asked, his unnervingly casual tone sending a chill through the room.
“W we didn’t do anything, I swear one of the thugs stammered.
Ethan was about to say, “Maybe we should check the surveince footage, but the words died in his throat because Bowen had already sprung into
<b>action</b>.
Bowen moved lightning fast, grabbing the nearest thug by the throat and lifting him clean off the ground. His crushing grip cut off the man’s air supply like a death sentence, and within moments, the thug’s face turned purple fromck of oxygen. “Not talking, huh?” Bowen asked coldly.
“P please, spare us! W–we’re just hired hands, We only meant to kidnap her,” the man replied, voice trembling with fear.
“Is that so?” Bowen cocked his head. “I don’t buy it all you wanted was to kidnap her, why was she so terrified she fought you tooth and nail?”
Bowen thought coldly. “If these bastards hadn’t revealed their <b>sick </b>intention to <b>assault </b>her, Aubree wouldn’t have fought back so desperately, for her safety and to protect I. She’d already called the police and alerted others anyway. She could’ve just waited calmly for b–kup”
The man’s face went white. Being the sest to Bowen, he felt the full, chilling intensity of Bowen’s rage
The other thugs, pressed down by Ethan and his men, trembled uncontrobly, their teeth chattering in terror, too frightened to speak.
Bowen’s lips twisted into a sinister smile. “Still not talking?”
His other hand loosened for a split second, then clenched tight as he drove his fist straight into the man’s face.
