It didn’t matter if Madam Linden or Hailey was the instigator of this event: Rianne was determined to teach whoever was behind this <b>a </b>lesson.
The other end of the line said, “Understood, Ms. Rianne
Rianne hung up the phone. At that moment, the tenderness in her eyes waspletely hidden away.
When Tempest entered, he <b>saw </b>an icy flicker in her <b>eyes</b>,
They exchange gazes.
Tempest stood at the door, his eyes cold and stern
Seeing the look in his eyes, Rianne knew that he’d heard everything she said on the phone.
She turned her face away, saying nothing.
Tempest approached, sat by the bed, and took a deep breath. The air between them was filled with a chilling tension.
Tempest turned her body to face him, and their eyes met again.
Rianne blinked and said, “This time. I won’t rely on you.”
She spoke clearly, word by word.
All these years, it had always been Tempest protecting her. Rianne knew it herself.
But even with his protection, those people had dared to go so far.
What did that imply?
It meant that no one could truly be another’s pir. Only when you are your own pir, staying strong, will others dare not
cross you.
Tempest’s grip on her shoulders tightened, but he didn’t respond to her words.
He simply said coldly. Tll <b>handle </b>Hailey”
Rianne’s <b>lips </b>parted, and with a chill in her voice, she spat out the two words, “No.” Her tone was firmer than ever.
Over the years, Tempest had smoothed over too many obstacles and troubles for her.
Every time something happened, it was him clearing the path, but in the end?
There would only be moreing in her way…
Rianne continued, “This time, let me do it”
This time, she didn’t want Tempest to clear the way for her. She wanted to handle it herself
As her words fell, the force of the man’s grip on her shoulders grew heavier. In a cold, pressing tone, he said, “Why must you do it yourself?”
Rianne, in pain, gripped his wrist and answered, word by word. “Because when I <b>do </b>it myself, it’ll prove more ruthless.”
Because the enemy this time was different from the previous provocations or threats she encountered.
This time, it was Madam Linden’s distant niece.
With Madam Landen’s protection, how cleanly could Tempest handle it
And precisely because this t
time it was Madam I insden’s niece, Rianne had to do it herself
Chapter 452 He Was Serious All The Time
Because it had to be ruthless enough.
This would be her response to the years of patience and forbearance Tempest had shown to the Hale family.
Meanwhile, Ste was taken directly to the airport by Abraham.
While waiting in the VIP lounge. Abraham asked her if she wanted to <b>eat </b>something, but Ste shook her head.
For some reason, her <b>appetite </b>had been getting worsetely,
<b>Abraham </b>said again. “Abel prepared some oatmeal for you Have a little, would you?”
Ste shook her head and replied. I don’t feel like eating.”

As she spoke, she nestled a bit <b>into </b>Abraham’s arms. She simply didn’t want to eat anything right now; her appetite was
terrible.
Abraham gently rubbed her soft hair and said, “Then you can eat itter
He used to be afraid she’d eat too much and upset her stomach.
Now, he was afraid she wouldn’t eat at all, and upset her stomach as well.
Eddie arrived at the airport in a hurry, seeing Abraham holding Ste in his arms as he said. The medicine’s here.”
Damn it, what a day–it was so jammed out there, he almost got stuck in Rivermount while fetching the medicine.
He handed the medicine to a staff member nearby and <b>said</b>, “One sachet of this and one sachet of <b>that</b><b>. </b><b>Thanks</b>”
The staff member nodded politely and said, “Alright”
Eddie panted <b>as </b>he sat down on the <b>sofa </b>across from Abraham, twisted open the water bottle in his hand, and drank.
He was exhausted. The traffic had been so jammed just now, and he’d run part of the way, fearing <b>that </b>he might miss the flight.
And yet they still hadn’t boarded.
After drinking half the bottle, Eddie finally noticed something was off. He looked at Abraham and asked, “Why are you looking at me like <b>that</b>?”
Looking at him was fine, but why was his gaze so unnerving?
Abraham replied, “You’ll need to oversee the project at the Milbar Desert. I don’t trust them to go without you.
Eddie <b>was </b>shocked.
His expression froze, then twisted.
This again?
Last time he’d mentioned it, it had seemed like a joke, but now…
Eddie’s grip on the water bottle tightened uncontrobly as he asked, <b>“</b><b>You’re </b>serious?”
Mir Desert–that ce where even dinosaurs would shed ayer of skin just by going there. How <b>could </b>a person survive there!
He couldn’t!
Abraham ced Ste aside and passed her a fruit on the table.
His movements were gentle, but <b>what </b>he said left Eddiepletely dared. He said. “When <b>have </b>you ever seen me joke?”
