“Sorry, sorry, sorry!”
Robin Bailey held Elise Houry tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with guilt, regret, and remorse. On that day, he should have been there for Elise Houry, but he left.
For Kisia!
He went to the battlefield.
He could only come back after a month, unaware of how much suffering Elise Houry had endured.
I’m sorry!
It’s my fault for lacking conscience!
“Lack of conscience, and yet you still know how to come back.”
Elise Houry gradually loosened her fist, which had been clenched with some force, and finally embraced Robin Bailey, pressing her head tightly against his chest. She held on tightly, afraid that it might be another dream.
“Oh, Leslie, Leslie is still with my mom.”
Suddenly, Elise Houry remembered her daughter.
At this moment, behind Robin Bailey, Leslie poked her head out and rushed towards Elise Houry, saying, “Mommy, Leslie is here. Don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy said crying is not pretty.”
“My baby.”
Elise Houry embraced Leslie in her arms, her eyes filled with tears.
“From now on, leave everything to me.”
Robin Bailey protected them in front.
At this moment, Elise Houry felt a sense of peace. Her husband had returned, and her two most important people were by her side. She cherished this moment immensely.
“Oh, you’re that worthless security guard? I heard you joined the military. How come you didn’t die? Did you become a deserter?”
Snowy Houry mocked while folding her arms.
“It’s highly possible.”
Isaiah Clarke added, “I heard that the South Province battle was extremely intense. Countless people died, but you didn’t even get a scratch. You must have become a deserter.”
“No wonder, I knew this person would amount to nothing. He’s not worthy of my daughter at all. He knows how to come back, and he has the audacity to come back. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don’t know where he got the courage from to dare to come back. A deserter, hmph.”
Karen Johnson sneered. She never expected Robin Bailey to come back.
She was about to succeed, but this man suddenly returned, ruining her plans and making her very unhappy.
A useless fool dares to come back.
Hmph.
She was displeased.
A lazy toad wanting to eat swan meat!
Dream on!
“So, you actually came back.”
The most complicated emotions came from Rodney Houry. He had initially held a favorable opinion of Robin Bailey. He had proposed a six-month agreement and even said that he would recognize Robin Bailey’s status once he returned from the military. However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
Gordon Houry had said that if they handed over Landview Inc., they would be allowed to return to the main family. This was what he had longed for. He had agreed, but once Landview Inc. was handed over, they would be completely at the mercy of the Clarke family.
Did the Clarke family want to keep their daughter and still have the ability to resist?
So, he had been silently accepting this matter all along.
Until now, Robin Bailey has returned. However, upon hearing them say that Robin Bailey is a deserter who returned, they scrutinized Robin Bailey and found that he really had no injuries on his body. It seems that he is indeed a deserter.
“A deserter is not worthy of my daughter,” Rodney Houry spoke up as well.
Whether it’s true or not, he has already accepted this fact. After all, Robin Bailey has no power or influence. How could he possibly stand against the Clarke family? He might be eliminated the next day, who knows.
Gordon Houry, sitting in the main seat, stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and watched the scene unfold. This is what he liked to see. What he wanted to see.
“My daddy is not a deserter. He’s a great hero, the greatest hero. My mommy told me, you’re not allowed to slander my daddy…”
At this moment, a childish voice sounded in the room. It was Leslie, held tightly by Elise Houry, looking at these bad people with puffed-up cheeks.
Yes, bad people.
Mommy clearly said that my daddy is a great hero, but they say he’s a deserter. Bad people, they’re all bad people.
“Heh, you little bastard, who do you think you are, daring to…”
Snowy Houry sneered coldly, her malicious face ready to taunt, but before her words could finish, a crisp sound resounded through the room. A bright red handprint appeared on Snowy Houry’s face.
“You little bastard?”
Smack!
Another slap!
“What kind of thing are you?”
Smack!
Another slap!
“What qualifications do you have?”
Smack!
Yet another slap!
“What kind of thing are you, daring to insult my daughter?”
Four consecutive slaps.
Snowy Houry was completely dumbfounded. She sat on the ground, her face swollen like a pig’s head, barely recognizable.
The one who struck was Robin Bailey.
“You have the audacity, bodyguard!”
Isaiah Clarke witnessed this scene and was dumbfounded. He immediately retorted.
As a scion of a prominent family, he naturally had bodyguards with him. With his command, a bodyguard behind him moved immediately, but the next second, he froze in place.
Because he felt an overwhelming aura of killing intent emanating from the person in front of him.
How much?
It was like a mountain of corpses.
He had never seen such a terrifying scene before, until Robin Bailey looked at him. Those eyes were like the gates of hell, instilling fear and dread in people.
Finally, the bodyguard went crazy.
Yes.
He was driven insane.
“I… I want to find my mommy… Mommy… Where is mommy?”
Drooling, the bodyguard ran out with a dazed expression. He hugged and jumped around a pillar, then ran onto the street, shouting and screaming incoherently, leaving people bewildered.
Isaiah Clarke, witnessing this scene, was also dumbfounded.
“What’s going on? Did the family assign me a lunatic bodyguard?”
He simply thought that the bodyguard had mental issues and didn’t associate it with Robin Bailey.
After all, it was just a small town with minimal security.
Nothing worth paying attention to.
“You… you…”
Snowy Houry covered her face with one hand and pointed at Robin Bailey with the other. She wanted to say something, but suddenly encountered Robin Bailey’s gaze filled with a murderous intent. She immediately dared not speak anymore and quickly crawled to Isaiah Clarke’s side.
In Robin Bailey’s eyes, there was only killing intent.
He wanted to kill these people.
However, killing them would be too easy for them. Such a death would be too comfortable for them. Moreover, in front of Leslie, Robin Bailey did not want to take lives. The blood of these people would dirty his precious daughter’s eyes.
Robin Bailey spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen, four days from now, it’s my wife’s birthday and also our wedding day. I invite you all to join us at the Haodi Grand Hotel.”
Slow torture.
Death would come too quickly, too comfortably for them.
A dragon has its scales, touch it and it will become furious!
“Heh, sure, by the way, I forgot to tell you. My wedding with Snowy will also take place at the Haodi Grand Hotel, but on the fourth floor. There are a total of five floors, with the fifth floor never open to the public. The fourth floor is the most prestigious. At that time, with two weddings, the world will witness the difference between you and me,” Isaiah Clarke sneered.
With the bodyguard absent now, he didn’t dare to act arrogantly towards this person. However, in terms of wealth and connections, Isaiah Clarke had never feared anyone. When countless big shots arrived, each one more influential than the next, they would scare this kid to death.
