Isabella blinked her big eyes and blushed.

After throwing the clothes away, Anthony entered the driver’s seat. The car drove in silence to Royal Blue Bay.

However, perhaps not used to the new environment, Fido kept barking in the trunk, Anthony, in the front seat, was obviously annoyed. Worried that Fido might be thrown out of the car halfway, Isabella parted the seat and sofily comforted it. “Fido, don’t worry. We’ll arrive

soon.

Fido quieted down and stayed silent till the end of the trip after hearing the familiar voice. After the car was parked, Isabella immediately wanted to check on Fido. Only then did she remember what she was wearing.

Anthony stood in front of her with a gloomy expression. “I’ll have someone take care of this little thing. Go back first. Look at what you’re wearing now. Even I steal glances at you. Don’t let anyone else get a look too.”

Hearing this, Isabella’s face flushed again. She knew she looked quite indecent, so she hurried back to her bedroom and changed clothes.

Anthony didn’t want to touch the dog. Since there were no other servants in the mansion, he could only ask Hunk from the basement to take care of it. Hunk received the order and hurried out of the basement. When he opened the trunk, he almost threw up.

The whole trunk was filled with vomit and stools. The dog lay in the middle, hanging its head weakly.

‘Oh, my goodness. The dog gets carsick, Hunk thought. He would prefer to go back and interrogate those people rather than deal with this mess.

“Clean it up. Then, take it to a vet Anthony instructed, his face darkening as he looked at his car. “After that, get rid of this car. I don’t want to see it

After that, he turned around and left.

When he entered the house, he saw Isabella had changed her clothes and was running downstairs. Anthony stopped her at the door and said, “Don’t go. That dog gets carsick. I’ve asked Hunk to deal with it

“Carsick?” It was the first time Isabella heard that a dog could get carsick. She worried. “I think I’d better go and have a look.”

Anthony pulled her onto the couch and made her sit on his lap, painting at the comer of his eye. “You should be most concerned about me now.”

Isabella noticed the area was swollen with some broken skin. Feeling guilty for causing the bruise, she proceeded to tend to his wound.

Isabella fetched the medical kit and carefully applied iodine to disinfect the wound. Since it was near Anthony’s eye, she was cautious not to let the iodine get into his eyes, leaning in closer to apply it carefully.

The girl’s soft breath brushed against Anthony’s face, causing his mind to stir. He stared intently at her face, his breathing quickening.

“Izzy.” Anthony called out in a hoarse voice. Then, he held her waist with both hands and hugged her tightly. Isabella was startled, and the cotton swab in her hand fell to the ground. She panicked and pushed his shoulder

“I won’t touch you. Just let me hug you.” Anthony’s deep voice came.

Isabella’s heart raced, and her body tensed up. She only began to relax a little when she was sure the man didn’t do anything else.

Anthony tightened his embrace, pulling Isabella closer to him, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.

Anthony tried to contain himself since Isabella was terrified of him when he lost control. He didn’t want their relationship to deteriorate.

They remained in that position until Isabella could hardly feel her waist anymore. Despite this, Anthony showed no intention of letting go. When she moved to escape his arms, he said hoarsely, “Don’t move. Please wait two minutes.”

Isabella didn’t dare to move, sensing something unusual Over the next two minutes, she was on edge. When the time was up, Anthony finally released her. He then hurriedly went upstairs without looking back at her.

Isabella exhaled deeply and silently felt relieved that she had escaped the situation. She mused, ‘It seems Anthony has indeed changed. If this was over a year ago, he wouldn’t care about my feelings.

Anthony went upstairs to the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting cold water pour over his head. It took him half an hour to calm his body.

When he went downstairs, he saw Isabella sitting in a familiar seat with a white dog in her arms.

It must be the grayish dog just now. It looks quite good after a bath, he thought

But Anthony hadn’t forgotten the smell from the trunk. Seeing Isabella enjoying herself with the dog, he decided to leave the room and went

straight to the basement to check on those people.

Over ten elderly, women, and young adults were in the basement. Originally, they had a rule to bar wives and children from involvement. However, to ensure Isabella’s safety, Anthony was eager to uncover the mastermind, so he had resorted to extreme measures.

The men who were captured initially were now torn. They couldn’t betray their master yet couldn’t bear to see their loved ones suffer. Eventually. some bit their tongues, while others followed suit. The men spurted blood from their mouths.

By the time Hunk realized what happened, it was already too late to intervene.

The last man fell to the ground, too

Hunk checked each of them one by one and discovered that they were all dead. He commented. “That’s really loyal. You would rather die than confess.

Meanwhile, the families members were crying

“You’ll get what you deserve”

“Give back my son’s life”

The voices of the family members‘ accusations and curses came one after another.

“Mr. Clara, what should we do now?” asked Hunk

They were used to having multiple deaths simultaneously and had devised a plan for it. But now the issue was with these innocent families. They were unaware of the truth. If they called them accountable, they could face legal trouble.

Anthony didn’t seem to be worried. He pointed at the family members and said, “Knock them out first.”

Yes, sir.” Hunk knocked all of them out

When everyone fell to the ground, Anthony ordered, “Send these corpses to Shawn and send the rest home.

“But these family members won’t give up easily.” Hunk said, visibly worried, and then made a gesture of slitting his throat. “Why don’t we take their lives, tool

Anthony shook his head. “Although I’m not a good person, I won’t kill innocent people. The bodies will be found at Shawn’s place. These people haven’t seen our faces and will only go after them.”

These family members were outsiders. To stay safe, Anthony and Hunk had disguised themselves before coming to the basement, so Anthony wasn’t worried about anyone recognizing them. Moreover, handing these people back to Shawn could serve as a distraction, allowing Anthony to investigate the affairs of the Davis family.
