The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 303

Rowena stood like a fierce guardian in front of Noelle, not letting anyone take her friend away. Lareal raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on Rowena. He quickly recognized her. He adjusted his glasses and offered a charming smile. "She's your friend, isn't she? She looks hurt. We really should get her to a hospital, or I can't promise she'll be okay."

"You..." Rowena looked at Noelle, worry etched on her face, and bit her lip. "Fine, but I'm coming too. We don't even know you guys!"

Lareal quirked an eyebrow. "Sure, that can be arranged." He looked at Rowena and Teresa. "You two can follow this young lady to the doctor, okay?"

With that, he gave a secret signal to the men in black. They quickly and expertly lifted Noelle and carried her away. Rowena and Teresa shared a quick glance, scooped up Noelle's dropped bag, and hurried after them.

Yevgen did not want to be left out and tried to follow, but Lareal's big, tough guys blocked his way. Yevgen was frustrated and upset. "Move aside!"

The men in black stood firm, ignoring Yevgen's attempts to get past them, and formed a tight circle around everyone.

"What's going on here?" someone finally asked, as people began to sense that things were not as straightforward as they seemed. "What are you up to?"

"What are we up to?" Lareal said with a smirk. "You've got some nerve, stirring up trouble in The Majestic Lounge! Unfortunately for you all, all our bosses are here today. You owe them an explanation for what’s happened, and trust me, they’ll make sure you face the consequences."
