No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237
Chester was fluent in Meridonian.
If not for his foreign features, people would assume he was a native of Meridonia.
His face was like chiseled stone, handsome and persuasive His brows were thick and slightly raised.
He had thin lips and a delicate nose.
There was also a beauty mark between his eyebrows.
It was only noticeable up close
He was around 6 feet 2 inches tall. Wearing a dark blue haute couture suit, each layer of clothes he wore was apparent.
With one hand in his pocket and champagne in his hand, he used his superb conversational ***to render the other party helpless with laughter.
That was a kind of talent.
He had used it to conquer the business world.
People like Chester would become the center of attention just by standing in the middle of the banquet.
Thanks to his face and fashionable classical style, both Meridonians and Crucsians would agree that he was good-looking.
He was also silver-tongued.
It was normal for Henry to pay attention to such people.
“Are you a little afraid of him?”
Anna spoke softly.
As the former Head of Foreign Relations of Fowler Corporation, Anna’s fiery eyes sparkled.
She could tell at a glance that Chester was an influential character.
“That’s not all, I saw him at the auction. He’s the one who bought the piece of land we wanted.”
Henry pursed his thin lips.
He felt that things at the Fowler Corporation were somewhat strange recently.
Did it have anything to do with this man?
They had only met twice. Henry’s suspicion had no basis, and he had no evidence to prove it.
He was probably reading too much into it.
However, Henry’s,intuition told him that this man was extremely dangerous.
Chester noticed Henry’s gaze.
He bowed to the couple in front of him and walked away respectfully.
Then, he took another glass of champagne and slowly walked to Henry and Anna.
“Mrs. and Mr. Fowler. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Anna smiled. “I’ve never seen you before. Are you from Estonia?”
“No, Mrs. Fowler. I’m from Crucsia. I finished my graduate studies in Estonia. Currently, I’m managing my own business. Here’s my card.”
Chester took out two business cards and handed them over respectfully.
There was nothing wrong with his tone. He knew how to make people feel at ease.
Henry glanced at the business card.
Chester Laton.
The rightful owner of M.E. Group.
The scope of his business activities was quite large, too.
Laton…
“To be able to attend such a banquet, your status must be extraordinary. Could you possibly be related to Crown Group’s Micheal Laton?”
Chester said in a self-deprecating tone, “What does a small fry like me have to do with that kind of big shot? If we were related, I wouldn’t have resorted to starting my own business.”
Henry was silent
It was no secret that Micheal had two women.
Among them, the daughter of his mistress, Tiffany, was on good terms with Sam.
According to Fowler Corporation’s investigation of the Laton family, Micheal had no son named Chester
Of course, that was only on the surface.
In truth, Micheal used to ***around outside and had many romantic affairs.
However, his first wife, Kelsey, had a controlling personality. If Micheal had an illegitimate child, no one could ever know
about it.
For Kelsey, Sherry was the first one and also the last.
At this ***…
The lights suddenly went out.
The entire venue turned pitch-black.
“What’s wrong? Is there a power outage?”
“What happened? Where’s the backup power?”
“What’s going on?”
For a ****, it was dark. Everyone started chattering.
All of a sudden!
Bang! Bang!
A few gunshots tore through the darkness.
“Ah!”
Everyone panicked when they heard the gunshot.
The guests screamed, wanting to run toward the door.
“***!”
Henry’s face darkened. He immediately protected Anna, who was in panic and quickly retreated to a corner.
The lights had gone out, and so many people were in panic. There were also things like the dining table that were obstructing their path.
It was not the time to escape.
“***, hide under the table.”
Henry made a prompt decision. Before he knew what was going on, he decided to wait and observe.
He immediately pulled Anna aside and hid under the table.
Coincidentally…
Chester thought of the same thing.
He crawled under the table almost at the same time as Henry and Anna.
Chester made a small joke. “We meet again so soon. It must be fate.”
Henry looked serious. “This is not a joke. What’s happening?”
Chester turned on his phone and pressed the flashlight button. He turned the light to its weakest.
“It’s too noisy outside. Other than a few gunshots, I didn’t hear anything else… Tsk. There’s no signal, either. I can’t call anyone.”
Henry frowned for a split second. “It can’t be… This hotel is located on the outskirts, and it’s the best hotel in Mylta. The security system is top-notch! How could…”
“If someone did breach its security system, it means that the person is powerful, and they can’t possibly have good intentions.”
“This place is in the suburbs. Once it’s breached, the system will become too vulnerable. The consequences will be unimaginable.”
Chester had just finished speaking.
Bang! Bang!
Several more shots rang out, followed by ear-splitting screams.
Click
The lights turned on again.
“Everyone in the banquet hall Come out”
“If you force us to catch you, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
“My bullets don’t have eyes, let alone mercy.”
Anna’s face turned pale. “Are they… robbers?”
“They dared to assault Hotel Molov and jam all the communication signals. They can’t be ordinary robbers. This place has become an isolated island.”
“They looked more like trained terrorists.”
Even Chester, who always had an irreverent attitude, had a solemn expression.
No one had possibly seen this coming.
No one could even imagine that the banquet held at Hotel Molov would be attacked by terrorists that day.
The banquet guests were either wealthy or of noble status.
They had kidnapped a group of people with hundreds of billions of assets and could shake the economic lifeline of a small country with a stomp of their feet…
What were they up to?
“***, let’s go out.”
Henry made this decision after careful consideration.
“Henry, we…”
“**, don’t worry. I’m here.”
“They didn’t ***anyone at the beginning, and they spent so much effort to break into Hotel Molov and control everyone. They must want something. If they don’t have that thing, our lives won’t be in danger.”
Calmly, Henry tried his best to soothe Anna.
Anna gradually calmed down.
Henry secretly moved his watch.
He had turned it into a small signal transmitter.
Even though Henry was the oldest son of the Fowler family and the president of the Fowler Corporation, he still had some connections with the Darknet.
The more life-saving methods he had at his disposal, the better.
Henry had specially customized this watch. Using his ***and ability, he spent 12 million dollars to make it.
It was built with the latest high-tech materials.
Back then, he was worried that he would encounter such a situation. He had built it just in case.
He was worried that his opponent might be proficient in computer technology.
Henry did not dare to make the signal transmitter look too conspicuous.
He could only hope that someone could crack his signal….
At this ***…
Henry suddenly thought of Jane.
