Darryl smiled and said to Jade on the phone, “Nothing’s wrong. I broke the helicopter, but your partner, Chas, didn’t want to let me go. He said he wanted to capture my friend and me.”
‘What?’
On the other side of the phone, Jade’s knees nearly buckled when she heard that. She trembled in anger.
‘How dare Chas be so disrespectful toward Darryl? He must be seeking death!’
Chas hurriedly said, “I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll head over there right away.”
Darryl stopped talking and threw the phone back at Chas.
Chas caught the phone and took a look at Darryl; he felt a little uneasy.
After a while, footsteps echoed from the lobby on the first floor. Then, a woman walked forward hurriedly; men in black surrounded her.
The woman was dressed in a light brown professional outfit that accentuated her exquisite figure. She looked charming and elegant in the suit. Her delicate face had light makeup that made her look extremely attractive, but her expression was solemn.
It was Jade.
Whoa!
The crowd was in a tumult; all the men’s eyes were on Jade. They stared at her without blinking.
‘Is this the Windon Group’s female president? She is the well-known Iron Lady in the business world?’
She was beautiful, indeed. However, her temperament was not inferior to any of those female celebrities.
Chas trotted toward Jade, and when he saw her, he said cautiously, “Jade—”
However, Jade did not even look at Chas. She pranced on her high heels and walked straight toward Darryl.
When she arrived right in front of him, Jade suppressed the excitement in her heart and bowed toward Darryl. “Daddy.”
As she spoke, Jade kept an eye on Chang Er, who stood next to Darryl.
“Chas, do you no longer want to cooperate with the Windon Group? Do you know who that is? How dare you stop him and even try to capture him?” Jade asked—annoyance laced her tone.
Chas shivered fearfully when he felt Jade’s anger.
Even though he had little contact with Jade, he always felt as if she was an amicable Iron Lady. She had never been angry with anyone, but at that moment, she was furious because of a man.
“Jade, I didn’t do anything to him,” Chas argued helplessly. “My attitude might have been bad, but I think there is no need to do this.”
“No need?”
Jade’s face was cold. “Do you know who he is? He’s our World Universe’s hero and the Elysium Gate’s Sect Master—Darryl! He was the one who had invested and set up the Windon Group. Do you understand now?”
‘What?’
Chas trembled—he was in a daze.
