Suddenly, two people entered through the front gates of the Reynold’s villa. One was about twenty-four or twenty-five years of age and whose face looked quite pale. The other was about thirty years old, looked quite well-to-do and walked at a speedy pace.
Cruz knew them both; one of them was Andrew Stone, son-in-law of the Clark family. The other was Ray Fraser’s distinguished guest, the Vice President of the Southwest Region, Phoenix Morgan.
Phoenix was born from a distinguished family; anyone who’s anyone in K City knew that well. As the VP of the Southwest Region, he held an incredibly high, powerful position. Not even members of the Turner family would be able to invite someone of this stature.
But now, Phoenix was right behind the Clark family’s son-in-law, with a scowl on his face; he looked more like a bodyguard! Everyone from the Reynold’s family stood and watched in awe. Did this Andrew Stone hold a position that’s even higher than that of Phoenix Morgan?!
Suddenly, Cruz thought of a rumor that had been going around; someone big and important from K City was going to arrive soon. He thought the rumors were referring to Ray Fraser, but apparently not.
It wasn’t Ray nor Phoenix, but this guy, this son-in-law of the Clark family!
“What do you want?” Freddy stood up and shoved his daughter Isabel behind him. He was just talking about how he had to look into Andrew bullying his daughter; and now, speak of the devil, here was Andrew.
What else could their sudden appearance mean? If not to conduct an investigation?
Andrew said nothing, but continued to walk forward.
“Someone, come quick!” Freddy shouted out in panic.
But no one answered throughout the house.
“Did you really think I would have come without any prior preparations?” Andrew said as he let out a cold smirk.
Freddy seemed to realized something; it was quite off that no guards came to his beckoning.
“Did, did you kill them all?” Freddy looked and asked in horror.
These words caused a panic to spread across the villa; even Cruz, who had seen his share of rough times, was left speechless!
“Don’t worry, Cruz Reynolds, I didn’t kill a single person in your family.” Andrew said in a steady tone.
Cruz swallowed hard and took a quick glance at Phoenix, who looked like a bodyguard and said nothing since he arrived. Then he returned his gaze to Andrew.
Phoenix was easily capable of calling in troops to wreak havoc and destroy the Reynold’s family at any time. Just who was this Andrew Stone? What kind of person was capable of ordering Phoenix around like his personal guard!?
“If you’re not here to kill my family, what do you want?” Freddy asked in an anxious manner, “Are you here to take my daughter?”
As he spoke, he gripped Isabel’s hand tightly!
He truly demonstrated his fatherly love at this moment!
“Freddy, what are you doing?” Cruz realized that things were not as simple as they looked.
“Father, he’s the one who bullied Isabel, and now here he is; he’s definitely up to no good!” Freddy was incredibly worried that Isabel would get hurt again.
“Shut up!” Freddy scolded in anger.
He then turned to Phoenix and Andrew and said, “Mr. Morgan, Mr. Stone, it’s my fault; please have mercy. Let me apologize on behalf of my granddaughter’s misdoings.”
