Tracy was frightened, holding Baron’s hand very tightly. Just a moment ago, Todd hurt those young men brutally. The scene was always on her mind. Not only that, the Brook family was one of the most powerful families in Jako. The stakes were high if Baron conflicted with Todd.
Tracy turned to look at Marry, looking anxious. “Please help us, Marry! I’m your cousin!”
But Marry gave her a cold, contemptuous smile. “Now I am your cousin! Tracy, you are really stupid! Todd is so much better than your invalid husband. He is from the Brook family! Have sex with him, then you can have whatever you want. Otherwise, your husband will die in here!”
Tracy turned white at the words. She felt overcome with grief.
“Marry is right, Tracy! It’s an honor to be chosen by Todd! With his help, your Samho Group will be better.” Hardon taunted. He kept trying to persuade her, for Tracy was the shortest way for him to solidify the friendship with Todd.
Todd couldn’t hide his smirk. He crossed his legs and stared at Tracy. His two well-trained bodyguards stood next to him, their eyes glowing with a baleful light.
“Don’t be so silly, Baron! Just get out! Now!” Marry said suddenly.
Tracy looked at Marry, her face full of despair. Before she pleaded with Marry again, Baron said, “Don’t be scared, Tracy. I’m here. No one’s going to hurt you. And no people in the Nona have the power to hurt you, not to mention them.” Then his eyes flicked from Hardon to Todd. “If they mess with me, the penalty is death!” Baron said, through gritted teeth.
Tracy remained quite still for a moment, then a small smile crept back into her face. She trusted his husband. “Honey, I trust you,” she said earnestly.
At these words, Todd seemed for an instant perplexed. Then he burst into laughter. “Oh, my god. Oh, that was so, so funny. You know what he just told us? He is threatening to kill us! Hah-hah-hah! I can’t stop laughing! He looks so silly!”
“The jerk is an idiot for sure, Todd! He knew nothing about our power!” said Hardon, laughing too.
“Don’t believe Baron, Todd. I know him well. He is nothing but a son-in-law of the Perry family! Five years ago, my beautiful cousin Tracy surprised everyone and had sex with a safeguard! You know what? Baron is the safeguard!” Marry added and laughed scornfully.
“Shut up! All of you! That is such a load of codswallop! How dare you say that!” Tracy cried angrily, her eyes flashing at them.
