Harper’s heart trembled as she saw the bodyguards’ hands reaching for the back of their waist once again, but she forced herself to stay calm and began to make up nonsense.
“She’s in Aronland with Mr. Yardley. If you want to look for her, go to Aronland…”
That’s right, he should go ahead and deal with Amon. Harper wanted to see who would come out on top.
Upon hearing this, Johnny’s repressed anger burst out of his dark eyes.
“I found out that she had returned from Aronland, and the first person she met up with was you, right here!”
The first time he came here, he was actually looking for Harper to ask about Rosalie’s whereabouts. However, he was so furious at the waiter that he couldn’t speak.
After adjusting his mood, he revisited the place. However, he never expected that Harper would dare to play dumb. This was simply unbearable!
He stood up out of the blue, and his tall and burly figure towered Harper, whose height reached his chest despite being in heels.
Stare at Harper.
“Ms. Duke, I’ll ask you again. Where is she?”
Harper was scared by his questioning posture and took a step back, but he grabbed her arm with so much force that it almost broke!
“She’s in Washington!”
Harper was not a people pleaser. The more Mr. Brook questioned her, the more she didn’t want to tell him the truth. She would let
him search the haystack for the needle!
Johnny stared at Harper’s eyes as if trying to distinguish the truth from them, but he saw her blinking her large eyes and throwing a coquettish look at him.
Johnny pushed Harper away with disgust and stood up, saying coldly, “If she’s not in Washington, I’ll come back and take your
eyes out!”
Harper swallowed hard and responded, “You can check the flight records. She went to Washington over a month ago, I’m definitely
not lying!”
Mr. Brook was too temperamental and impatient to bother checking any travel records. Even if he did, it wouldn’t matter. Harper was just trying to send him away and then go find Griffon to tell him that someone was looking for Taya’s whereabouts.
As long as Griffon, the patriarch of the three major families, stepped in, Mr. Brook wouldn’t dare to do anything to Taya, no matter how powerful he was.
As for her eyes, when Johnny comes back looking for them, she would just say she didn’t know Taya had returned, and that would be the end of it.
After getting the information he wanted from Harper, Johnny left the private room with his bodyguards.
As Preston walked up to the private room, he saw the man coming out. His expression darkened. “Johnny Brook.”
Griffon’ lifelong enemy had actually returned?
As Johnny and Preston brushed past each other, Johnny turned his head and sneered.
The provocative smile made Preston clench his fists and he rushed over, planning to beat him up, but Harper held onto Preston’s arm.
“Please don’t cause trouble here at my place…”
When Harper heard of Johnny’s name, she thought that he was just one of the young masters of the Brook pack, but she didn’t
expect him to be the patriarch of the Brook pack.
Due to the nature of her work, she had done some research on the patriarchs of the major packs, and only realized Johnny’s identity when Preston called out his name.
The Brook pack and the Knight pack were both financial giants, one in Europe and one in the country. Their strength was evenly
matched.
If one had to say, then Griffon, who was the Alpha of the three major packs, was even more powerful. Therefore, the only person who could stand up to Johnny was Griffon.
When Preston heard what Harper said, he thought she was defending Johnny and he got even more furious that his face turned pale.
He turned around and pushed her against the wall in the corridor.
“What did you guys do in there just now?” He stared at her lips which were covered with bright red lipstick, and saw traces of it coming off.
His chest felt tight all of a sudden. “Did that crazy guy touch you?” Preston found it difficult to accept and raised his hand to wipe her mouth.
This was the first time Harper had seen the carefree pl ayboy, Preston, in such a flustered state. Did he really fall for her?
“Are you so concerned and nervous because you have rea lly fallen for me?” Harper teased.
Preston’s fingers paused, and he lowered his gaze to Harper’s beautiful face, momentarily lost in thought. How could he have fallen for her? He just couldn’t move on for the moment because they had been in a casual relationship for the past few years.
Preston had been with so many women, how could he possibly have feelings for a unmated woman like her? It was impossible!
“Johnny is Griffon’ enemy, and you are my ex-girlfriend. It’s best not to have any connection with him,” Preston stated. His reason sounded weak and unconvincing to Harper but she did not pry further.
Preston was too much of a pla yboy and not a suitable partner for her. Also, she was a unmated she-wolf, so she wasn’t his ideal match either. Their few years together were just a fling, and neither of them should have feelings for each other.
“It’s good that there’s nothing between us,” Harper nodded before turning her attention to Ms. Khloe, who was waiting for Preston at
the end of the hallway. “Although Ms. Khloe may be childish with a bad temper, she does care about you. Since you’ve chosen to reconcile with her, treat her well and don’t fool around anymore. She-wolf can’t afford to waste away their youth on a bad guy.”
With those words, Harper pushed Preston away and walked towards the elevator.
Watching the elevator door close, Preston slowly withdrew his hand from the wall he had been leaning on. Meanwhile, Taya walked into the nightclub’s elevator after buying some of Harper’s pastries.
She came out of the elevator carrying her things and looked up to meet a pair of eyes filled with viciousness and hostility. She was scared by those eyes that she quickly looked down and moved aside to walk past. Stop!”
A voice as pleasant as a voice actor filled with magical power made Taya stop in her tracks. She slowly turned around to face the man who had already walked up to her. “Is there anything I can help you with, sir?”
The man was about the same height as Griffon. When Taya spoke to him, she had to look up. Johnny towered over her so he was looking down at her. “You look familiar, have we met somewhere before?”
Taya was taken aback for a moment. This opening line sounded like a pickup line, but Johnny looked a little impatient.
She politely shook her head at him. “I haven’t seen you before.”
After answering that man, Taya was about to turn around to look for Harper, but Johnny grabbed her sleeve, “Hold on!”
Taya felt a trace of disgust as he pulled her sleeve. “Don’t touch me!”
She quickly retracted her hand and stepped back, but bumped into Johnny’s bodyguard.
The bodyguard held Taya’s shoulder and pushed her to Johnny.
Johnny did not touch her again, instead, he lowered his head and carefully examined her face.
From her eyebrows, to her nose, her red lips, and facial features. He looked at her patiently and carefully.
He suffered from prosopagnosia, but he was in a hurry and forgot to bring a photo along, so he couldn’t recognize who she was.
He reached out and tried to touch Taya’s face, wanting to see if he could recognize her by touch.
But before his long hand could touch her face, someone grabbed his wrist from behind.
Before he could react, he saw a man with prominent knuckles pulling the woman in front of him towards him.
The tall, handsome, and noble man, with his hand around Taya’s waist and his other hand gripping Johnny’s wrist.
His bright eyes turned dark with atrocity in them.
“Johnny, are you tired of living? How dare you touch my woman?”
