Chapter 982
Seeing that the man said nothing, Johanna assumed that he did not understand Chanaean.
She was about to repeat herself in Ustranasion when he said coldly in Chanaean, “I don't care if you are here with
Mr. Zephyr willingly, or you have been forced. The crow tattoo on your arm indicates that you are his property. No
one here, including me, will help you.”
In fact, Johanna already noticed that after she entered the dance hall.
Everyone present seemingly had high social statuses, and that included Alston. However, all of them were
respectful toward Zephyr.
Johanna said in response, “I'm not hoping for you to help me. I'm only asking you if you know my friend.”
She was certain that she had seen that man before in Genevieve's phone.
“I don't know her,” the man replied.
“Fine.” Johanna shrugged and began chatting with him, “My name is Johanna. What's yours?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man ignored her and continued to scan the dance hall with his sharp gaze.
Johanna took a sip of her champagne before revealing the truth. “You're right. Osborn has taken me against my
will. I want to go back home alive. That's why I put up with him until now. I want to kill him.”
The man glanced at Johanna and found her words absurd. “Many others have tried to hurt Osborn, but all of them
failed. Instead of hurting him, they all ended up dying a horrible death.”
Seeing that the man responded to her, Johanna smiled slightly. “Of course, I can't kill him. But, I can destroy
everything he has.”
The man noticed the immense rage and hatred in Johanna's eyes.
It was as if she would be able to pull it off.
Johanna turned around to make sure that Zephyr was not looking at her before she continued, “I just want to ask
you a few questions. That's all.”
After a moment of silence, the man said, “Ask away.”
She enquired about Alston and the current situation of mafia groups in Lostaria. The man told her everything
truthfully.
Very soon, Johanna found out that the Chanaean man's name was Frank. He had been Alston's personal bodyguard
even before the latter rose up the ranks.
There were three mafia families in Lostaria. The other two families were wary of the Carlo family.
Johanna asked again, “Do you know Evangeline?”
Frank replied, “She is the daughter of the Sheraton family and also the fiancee of Mr. Osborn. He should have
brought Evangeline here tonight.”
However, Zephyr brought Johanna instead.
Johanna was aware that the Sheratons was also one of the mafia families. She did not expect Zephyr's fiancee to
come from such a powerful background, too.
“If the Carlos and the Sheratons unite in marriage and they go against the Leonardo family...” Johanna paused for a
moment before continuing, "In the future, only two mafia families will be left.”
If Zephyr got his hands on the Sheraton family's power, he would definitely arrogate the Leonardo family.
After all, everyone loved to be the big boss.
Seeing no response from Frank, Johanna continued, “I can help to cause discord between Zephyr and Evangeline.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn exchange, I hope you can help me to buy a type of medicine.”
“I'm only a bodyguard,” said Frank. “Furthermore, I won't offend Mr. Osborn because of a stranger.”
Johanna said, “If the relationship between Zephyr and Evangeline turns sour, it will be beneficial for your boss. I
don't think Alston wants to see his family being annihilated.”
Just then, Alston was on his way back after the phone call, and Frank was about to return to his boss.
Johanna began panicking. She quickly grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, “I beg of you. Please get me two
pieces of long term contraceptive patches. I may be able to help you in the future if necessary.”
Alas, Frank retracted his arm and left.
Johanna shut her eyes and felt depressed.
She thought she would be able to get help when Zephyr agreed to let her leave the castle. That was why she had
deliberately cut her dress to attract attention.
To her dismay, Zephyr was a lot more terrifying than she had imagined. The Carlo family literally ran Lostaria.
Not long after Frank left, Zephyr approached.
He took Johanna's champagne from her, took a sip, and asked, “What were you and Alston's bodyguard talking
about?”
