Seeing Howard break in, the three men who were tied up on the ground called for help. "Howard, help us."
Howard ignored them and walked straight forward. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Xavier, who was sitting on the sofa. Xavier's face was familiar to him, but he did not remember who he was for a moment.
He didn't think much about it.
However, Xavier remembered Howard. He was the man who chased Arya into his villa.
Howard bowed to Eli. "Sir, please give them another chance."
"Yes, we've been working for you for a long time. Even if we didn't achieve anything, we did work hard."
Eli was not a man easy to be fooled with. If he was stupid, he had been killed by his boss long ago.
He glanced coldly at the three of them on the ground, and finally, his eyes fell on Howard. "In the past, I had considered that you were working hard for me. I also turned a blind eye to your mistakes, but my kindness did not make you restrain. You dared to provoke someone you shouldn't."
"Sir..."
"Shut up. If you dare to say another word, you will be punished as well!"
"Howard, help us." One of them grabbed Howard's trousers and didn't let go. "We know we're wrong. Please help us."
Howard was also very angry. They actually took private jobs behind his back and created such a big mess.
But they had been following him for a long time, and he could not watch them being secretly executed.
Howard was still trying to convince Eli when a deep voice sounded. "If you want another chance, I'll give it to them."
Howard was still hesitating. Eli's words made him understand how much trouble his men had caused.
"Mr. Jones gave you a chance. Hurry up and thank him."
'Mr. Jones?'
Howard glared at the three embarrassed men on the ground angrily.
He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Jones, thank you if you can show them mercy."
Xavier wanted to give them a quick death. Of course, he wouldn't do it himself, but ask Eli to do it.
But now he wanted to do it in another way.
He wanted to let Howard and his three men continue to ask Estella for money and blackmail her.
Well, he wanted to ask these four people to pester Estella, and she wouldn't be able to get rid of him.
"Did we do what you asked, and you let them go?" Howard asked carefully.
Xavier stood up and pretended to flick the dust off his body.
"It depends on your performance."
The vague answer still gave them hope. After all, it was better to have a chance than not.
Howard was a bad man, but was very kind and loyal, especially to his men.
After Xavier left, Eli got up and walked past Howard, patting him on the shoulder. "Although you haven't been with me for a long time, I admire you very much. After this, work for me."
"Thank you, sir."
In Eli's opinion, Xavier was going to let them go.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them this chance.
But he didn't know that Xavier had his plan.
He did this only to teach Estella a lesson with their hands.
As for letting them go, it was impossible.
In the villa, Arya was alone, but she didn't dare to go out at this time, just in case Xavier suddenly came back.
Just as she was bored and didn't know what to do, the doorbell of the villa rang.
Arya thought it was Xavier, but she didn't expect it was Sunny.
She was accompanied by a kind middle-aged woman.
"Jacob told me to bring them here." the driver explained.
Arya said she knew, and then she grabbed Sunny's hand in.
Sunny glanced at the villa and said with a smile, "He treats you very well."
"Treat me well?"
"Is that true?" She asked herself.
Arya did not think so. The relationship between them was just a deformed relationship driven by interests.
Well, treating her well was just a face job.
