Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 124

"You don't have to buy time by uttering such inflammatory words." Laughing, Smith added,"Now that these men inside the house are very good at what they do, those who want to rescue you may have a tall order. Besides, many of my men lurk around the villa, so the chance of anyone coming to your rescue is minuscule.When Brian controlled the Chancellor Group's share price through the Emp Exchange, we made up our minds to bet the rest of our fund on this matter and make our final efforts. However, Brian dashed our hopes and let the Chancellor Group face a crisis on QY Island. Humph! If I can't get what we want this time, I will not let you off so easily!"

"Are you counting on these hit men who work for Philip?" Shirley asked calmly.

This time, Smith was really surprised. "Who are you?" he asked after a moment of contemplation.

Instead of answering his question, Shirley simply smiled lightly. Not a friendly and sweet smile anymore. For the time Molly had known her, Shirley was a very kind and gentle person. But now she was very different. On the contrary, she now looked aggressive, and intimidating even to her captors.

Even though Molly didn't know very well what they talked about, she still could learn from their conversation that this issue had something to do with Brian. Now that it was related to Brian, she was sure that she must have been the intended captive.

From Smith's expression, she learned that he was frightened of Shirley now.

Like Smith, Molly also started to wonder who Shirley really was.

Apparently unperturbed about the situation, Shirley seemed to negotiate, taking it calm and easy with Smith, despite his cruelty. Moreover, Shirley had come to town with a bodyguard in tow.

Flatly, Shirley said,"I'm just an average person who often learns about the breaking news all over the world. If you don't believe me, you can try to harm me.But, I have to warn that you'd better look before you leap. And please try to be as realistic as possible about the situation. Don't do anything reckless, or you'll regret it.If you are over-confident and take action rashly, you can sure bet your end will be real trouble!"

with an openly sarcastic voice, she warned. Although Smith didn't get the drift of what she meant. Roughly he could guess the main meaning of her words and it drove nuts. He gritted his teeth and said coldly,"Humph! I'll show you who'll when it comes to trouble."

After those words, Smith waved. In a flash, a strong man aimed his silencer-fitted gun at Shirley and squeezed the trigger. The bullet quickly flew towards her.

The close call shocked Molly to the core. Her face turned ashen, and her hair lifted on the nape and arms. By instinct, she was about to move in front of Shirley to take the bullet for her. But Shirley reacted faster and better. She huddled Molly and ducked to one side just in time.

The bravery, skill and instinct of Shirley stunned everyone in the room. These were the very best of Philip's mercenaries. The man who had missed at such close range was a heck of a sniper. He boasted a record of close to two-thousand-meter kills with one shot. How had this strange woman ducked just in time?
