Hannah’s eyes showed a faint smile.

“Let’s take a chance.

Any path could be a dead end, but I believe there’s always a way to survive.

Sitting next to her, Dotson said, “Boss, don’t worry.

Even if the path you choose is dangerous, I’ll do everything I can to protect you!”

The black car sped through traffic like a dark bullet.

Ten minutes after they left, the Garza family was eerily silent.

Jenny knelt on the ground, her face full of frustration.

Merlin sat in his wheelchair, looking stone-faced.

“You bunch of idiots! How could you let her get away so easily? You’re worthless!”

Mark’s eyes were red with rage as he slammed his cane on the ground.

“Are you all trying to destroy the Garza family? That rascal, Mathews, had the nerve to show up today! It’s because he has connections at Enchantment Casino!”

Crack!

Mark knocked the teacup off the table, shattering it on the floor.

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack, huh?”

Jenny wished Mathews would just get rid of Hannah permanently.

Kneeling on the ground, she mumbled, “It wouldn’t be a big deal if Mathews took over the Garza family.

Mark glared at Jenny, his eyes full of menace.

“What did you just say?”

Splash! Jenny felt a cup of hot tea splash on her face.

“Say that again, I dare you!” Mark roared.

“Grandpa…” Jenny looked at Mark in disbelief.

“How could you do this to me because of Hannah?”

Mark’s eyes turned cold.

“So, you want Mathews to run the Garza family because you think he’ll make you the leader, and then you can take my place, huh?”

Shaking with fear, Jenny said, “Grandpa… I was wrong.

Please don’t be angry!”

Mark shook his head and scoffed.

“You’re such an idiot! Do you know why I’m mad? Because you’re just a loser! If you could actually get that guy from the Morrison family to like you, why would I be taking this risk?”

Jenny stayed quiet, just looking down and taking Mark’s anger.

Mark turned around and plopped back down on the sofa without a word.

Finally, Merlin broke the silence.

“Grandpa, don’t blame Jenny.

We’ve spoiled her.

The important thing now is to stop Mathews’s people and keep them from hurting Miss Moore.

Mark took a deep breath, his face darkening.

“She doesn’t even want my protection.

Fine, let them fight it out.

I’ll figure out how to benefit from it quietly.
