Chapter 298: Ghost in the Shadows
That voice…?
Jean’s brows lifted slightly. She instinctively turned toward the sound.
Everyone else reacted the same way.
But what they saw first wasn’t the speaker-
It was a new wave of men in black.
Like shadows darting through the trees, they moved with uncanny speed, appearing right beside the Lawson family’s bodyguards.
And just like that, chaos erupted.
The two groups clashed in a flurry of movement–like a full–blown action movie come to life.
Sofia and Mindy didn’t waste the opportunity. They sprinted off to a safer spot, panting, hearts still hammering in their chests as they watched the brawl unfold.
It was all happening so fast–so suddenly–it barely felt real.
Thank God they ran when they did, or they might’ve been caught in the crossfire.
The newcomers were clearly stronger. Bulkier, faster, better trained. It wasn’t long before the fight was completely one–sided.
The Lawson bodyguards started dropping like flies–cries of pain, thuds of bodies hitting the ground.
Thomas’s eyes widened. He clenched his jaw, fury bubbling up.
And then-
From behind the car, a tall, composed figure stepped into view.
Jean’s chest loosened with a silent breath of relief.
Of course it’s him.
“Thomas,” Dominic said, his handsome face cloaked in bold authority, every word sharp as ice. You’ve got some nerve.”
Thomas’s expression collapsed.
His entire body froze up, the rage draining from his face. He was speechless.
Dominic’s appearance… hadn’t been part of the plan.
Thomas had worried that Jean’s involvement might draw the Ginger family’s attention, but he’d convinced himself that if they hadn’t stepped in during Asher’s case, they likely wouldn’t show up now either.
So how the hell was Dorinic here?
He had hoped that even in the Ginger family did catch wind of things, he could act fast enough–end it quickly–and there’d be nothing they could do.
