Chapter 277
Sara treated her subordinates with utter contempt. People like her didn't deserve any leniency.noveldrama
Rachel's voice cracked with fear on the other end of the line. "I thought so too, but she showed up with someone and launched a full-scale attack.
"It was brutal, with several people getting their legs broken and blood everywhere. They're coming upstairs to find me. I'm scared..."
Matthew's heart pounded as he heard the terror in her voice. He sprinted from the courtyard and hopped into his car. "I'm on my way. Stay safe," he said before ending the call.
He slammed the gas pedal, and the engine roared to life, sending the car lurching forward. When he released the clutch, the car rocketed forward like a missile.
He sped through the streets and reached Wealthwave Group in half the usual time. He jumped out of the car and charged toward the entrance without bothering to close the car door.
At the entrance, he saw two security guards sprawled on the ground. One had a leg twisted at a grotesque angle, and the other was Zachary. His arm was broken, and his hand hung limply, along with part of his forearm.
Zachary winced in pain. He was surprised to see Matthew. "What are you doing here after hours? You need to get out. It's dangerous here."
His concern moved Matthew. They had often chatted in the break room, and Zachary had looked out for him as a newcomer. His kindness had left a lasting impression on Matthew.
Matthew felt even more grateful upon hearing that. "I know. I'll go check it out. I'll treat you when I return later."
Zachary grabbed his sleeve with his good arm. "Are you insane? There's a lunatic attacking everyone with brutal force in there. It's too dangerous for you to go upstairs."
Matthew pointed up the stairs. "Rachel's up there. She's my fiancé. I can't just leave her."
Zachary released his grip. "You're risking your life for a woman... but you're no match for that guy. He's not even human. Think this through."
Matthew turned and sprinted into the building. "I have to try. I'll fix your arm when I return."
Zachary clenched his teeth and shook his head. "You should worry about yourself, Matthew. I hope you don't get hurt too badly."
On the top floor, Rachel was surrounded by three bodyguards. But they were frozen in fear and retreated with each step they took.
Rachel was in a frenzy as she tried to reason with Sara. "Ms. Clark, I've done everything to make your visit to Lambda City as comfortable as possible. I've treated you like aVIP. You can't cause trouble just because Sitas won't leave with you."
At that moment, Louis had taken down a dozen people on his way, and now he was closing in on her.
Sara stood behind him. She was in control and ignored Rachel's pleas with a dismissive sneer. "Are you trying to negotiate with me? Do you even have the authority? If your chauffeur stops me from taking Silas, he'll face consequences. And So will the Carters."
Suddenly, a man's voice cut through the confrontation. "Silas is a person. He decides where he goes, not you."
Rachel's heart skipped a beat when
she heard the familiar voice behind
her. She turned around and saw Matthew. She felt like she'd found a life buoy while drowning. Her fear eased immediately. "You're finally here." ,
He stepped in front of Rachel, facing Louis and Sara. Though it was a simple gesture, Rachel felt a profound reassurance. "Be careful. That guy's really tough," she warned. Matthew said calmly, "Don't worry. Trust me."
She felt an unexpected sense of security from his words. So, she nodded and stayed silent.
Sara's face lit up with joy when she saw him. "You came alone? Where's Silas?"
He replied coldly. "He's not here, and I won't let you take him, no matter what."
Her face darkened. "If you're not bringing Silas, are you here to get yourself killed? Louis, take him out!"
