NovelEnglishSabrina was already at Bartel Apartments. To her utter dismay, no one answered the door, though she
had been knocking on it for ages.
“Ms. Hayes, is your brother at work?” Isaac asked behind her.
Pissed off, Sabrina blurted, “He’s not my brother!”
She then went to Hayes Corporation in a fit of rage.
To her surprise, Solomon wasn’t there. His secretary, Jamie, was packing up for him.
“What’s wrong? Is he not coming to work now?”
Jamie turned to look at her and explained calmly, “No, Ms. Hayes. I’m just clearing his documents and
desk. Mr. George is with his client. Are you here for him?”
Though Sabrina hated to admit it, she heaved a sigh of relief at the news.
When she stepped out of the building, Isaac trotted behind her.
“Can you stop following me? If you can’t go home, fly out of the country! Are you a crazy stalker?”
Sabrina finally lost it and yelled at him.
Isaac froze. “No, Ms. Hayes. I was just waiting until you’re free so we can get the Jeep Wrangler’s parts
at the logistics company. I shall leave after we assemble the parts.”

Jeep Wrangler? So this wimp followed me since I got drunk last night just to deliver the car parts?
She couldn’t bring herself to curse at him anymore.
“Did you follow me just for the delivery?”
“Mm!” Isaac nodded firmly. “Don’t you worry. The parts are imported legally,” he explained hastily, afraid
that she’d get it wrong.
Sabrina felt her head throbbing, for she could now be certain that this man was a fool. He took her joke
seriously and even went to the extent of delivering the parts himself!
Sabrina was at a loss for words.
“How much is it?” she asked.
“Y-You don’t have to pay me back. Just think of it—”
“Shut the fuck up! Do I look like someone who needs your gift? Take my money, or leave with the stuff!”
Sabrina hissed.
Isaac had no choice but to take the money from her.
Two hours later, Sabrina got the parts and delivered them to her garage at the villa.
Isaac was still with her.
That night in the Zarain forests, Devin was busy assigning tasks in a tent when he received a few
photos on his phone.
The photos were taken in an unfamiliar villa, but he immediately recognized the layout and design as a
property developed by a real estate company under Hayes Corporation.
Whose house is this?
Confused, he swiped to the second photo.
As he wished, the second photo was of the interior of the villa. However, what he saw was a man
wearing black spectacles squatting in front of a pile of car parts underneath the glaring light in a
garage.
There was a woman clad in a red leather jacket and a form-fitting miniskirt standing next to him.
She was bending slightly to offer the young man a drink. They seemed like an affectionate couple in
the intimate and warm scene.
Bang!
Rage flared up within Devin’s chest, and he punched the table angrily.
The sudden commotion startled the other commanders.
“Major Devin, what happened? Do you have news of the smuggling ring?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, Major, tell us what happened.”
They gathered around him, thinking that there was a change in the situation.
Devin’s eyes were bloodshot, as the next photo was of both man and woman enjoying their meal on
the dining table.
The woman was crossing her legs carelessly, but the man was stealing glances at her.
The adoration in his eyes was evident.
He must have a death wish!
His gaze grew increasingly scary. He didn’t even know that a murderous intent was rising within him. It
wasn’t even that serious when he was facing his enemies a while ago!
“Major?” The other commanders were shocked.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud boom reverberated in the air. Everyone blanched and rushed out of the tent.
Devin dashed out behind them.
“Listen, if you don’t let us leave, I shall take her life on the spot now!”
When the smoke disappeared, to everyone’s utter disbelief, the smuggling ring that they had been after
and was about to take down appeared before them with a hostage in their hands.
“Who is that?” the other commanders inquired.
Devin alone froze when he realized who the hostage was.
“Devin? Save me! Devin!”
