The words surprised everyone. They did not expect that Baron would decide to step in.
The scowl on Martin’s face deepened. He stared hard at Baron, without a word.
“Get over here!” Baron said to Marry.
For a moment, Marry looked at him in astonishment. Then she recovered from her surprise. She crawled to her feet and ran to Baron immediately.
Baron went out of the room with Tracy in front of the whole spectators, followed by Jacob and Marry.
Martin stared after them and said nothing until they were lost in the darkness. He turned his attention back to others. “What happened here had to be kept secret. If it gets out, I will find kill the one who talks!”
Everyone was scared and promised not to tell anyone.
When others were gone, Martin and Tom went back to the next room.
“Do me a favor, Mr. Maguire. I want to know everything about the young man. Could you look into his background?” Martin said with a very straight face and a very serious tone.
Very reluctantly, Tom nodded. “OK. Just leave it to me. I’ll give you the answer as soon as I can.”
“That’s great!” Martin said. “There is one more thing. We should sign our contract as soon as possible. I hope our first cooperation will go smoothly.”
Tom was filled with joy at the good news. “Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Brook!” he said hurriedly.
After Baron and Tracy went out of the restaurant, Tracy stopped and turned to Marry. “You’re safe. Just go!” she said coldly.
“Sorry, Tracy!” Marry said. Her eyes were red.
Tracy’s face did not change. She glanced at Marry with indifference. “From this day forward, I don’t know you anymore,” she said firmly.
“Let’s go, Baron!” Tracy softly said, taking his hand.
Marry wanted to followed them, but Jacob stopped her. “Keep away from them, or I will kill you!” said Jacob savagely.
At these words, Marry stood still. She was looking pale and stunned.
Marry watched them leave. Then an awful smile touched her lips. “Son of a bitch!” she said through gritted teeth.
Just then, she heard a voice, “Hey, pretty. Are you alone?”
Marry turned and shocked to see several young men walking towards her, evil grins spreading across their faces. Marry was immediately surrounded by them.
She went very pale, looking terrified. “What do you want?” she shouted.
“Guess! What the fuck do I want?” One of the young men said and stressed the word ‘fuck’.
Marry could smell the wine on them. Apparently, they were drunk.
