Chapter 1473 A Disguise
Meanwhile, Astrid followed Howard to a hotel in Jadeborough. The room was romantically decorated, and when Astrid saw this, she turned and spoke apathetically to Howard. “Howard Dunn, I don’t think this is a proper place for us to talk.”
Despite her comment, Astrid did not really have her guard up, for she knew that, given Howard’s capabilities, she could easily pin him down. Since that was the case, she was not concerned at all that he would do anything to her.
“What’s so improper about this place, Ms. Gunderson? You’ve always been the girl I want. I brought you here today to confess my love to you.”
As he spoke, Howard took out a bouquet of flowers and went on one knee before Astrid. Astrid’s face froze when she saw that. “You should just give up. I don’t like you a single bit,” she replied dismissively.
When she had made herself clear, she turned to leave. It did not occur to her that Howard would trick her into that place to profess his feelings to her.
Although Astrid was infuriated, she did not lash out at Howard.
To her, the martial arts world in Jadeborough was going through a tectonic change, and the Gunderson family could no longer stay out of all the politics. It was not time for Astrid to make an enemy out of the Dunn family.
Yet, just as she was leaving, Howard made a move on her and grabbed her by the wrist.
“Since you’re here, why don’t we talk things out, Ms. Gunderson?” Howard insisted with a sinister grin.
Astrid frowned. “Let me go.”
Then, she lifted her hand and hurled a half-hearted punch at the man.
Howard would not be able to stand it if she had gone all out. Still, instead of dodging, Howard caught her fist with his hand, making it impossible for her to move an inch.
Astrid was stunned. Suddenly, a mist appeared around Howard, and a dizzy sensation overtook Astrid. She closed her eyes and passed out eventually.
