Chapter 274
J
Xavier had an ice–cold face that was pretty scary looking, and you could only see murderous vibes in his eyes. He stared at Estelle for a while and then slowly said, “Sorry for any offense today, Mr. Lamont!”
After that, he commanded his men, “Take Zachary and the others and leave!”
The guys next to him were stunned and asked Xavier in disbelief, “Xavier, what’s going on?”
‘Go back and withdraw everyone from Pier 14!” Xavier said only one sentence, without any explanation, and left with a cold glance at Estelle.
The others were puzzled; why did they withdraw so abruptly?
But they didn’t dare to disobey Xavier’s orders, so they quickly carried the injured guys and followed Xavier away.
Jonathan’s men were also bewildered. Just now, the opposition seemed to be going all out, but now they left without putting up a fight?
Millard frowned, “What’s going on?”
Brooks sneered, “Just bluffing!”
Jonathan didn’t say anything, just instructed, “Send the injured to the hospital, keep an eye on the pier, and don’t let any of Austin’s goods land.” “Understood!” Brooks immediately replied.
Jonathan held Estelle’s hand, “Let’s go back!”
Estelle was lost in thought and nodded after a pause, “Okay.”
Jonathan gently squeezed her hand, “Why is it so cold?”
Estelle shook her head, “It’s fine, let’s go!”
Jonathan’s tone turned serious, “If something like this happens again, you must listen to me and not be stubborn!”
The car drove towards downtown, and when they arrived at the Royal Mansion, Jonathan got out of the car with Estelle. She turned to him, “You can go do your thing, don’t worry about me, I’m not that scared.”
Jonathan smiled lightly, “I’ll take you upstairs!”
Estelle shook her head, “No need, I have to go see Emily. I’ll be fine going up on my own!”
Jonathan finally agreed, “Alright, call me if you need anything.”
“Okay!” Estelle waved at him and went into the elevator.
When the elevator door closed, Estelle’s expression softened. She went home, changed her clothes, and quickly left again.
In an old, unremarkable warehouse near the pier, there was a sign that read “Big Arms Moving Company” – a random and perfunctory company
name.
When Estelle entered, about ten shirtless guys were gathered around drinking and smoking, with some goods piled up in the warehouse. There were only two small windows on the ceiling, so the lighting was dim, and the smell of sweat and cheap cigarettes mixed together, filling every corner with the help of an industrial fan in the corner.
As she walked in, someone casually asked while playing cards, “Here to check the goods or looking for movers?”
Estelle didn’t say anything and continued walking inside.
