Chapter 274


    J


    Xavier had an ice–


    cold face that was pretty scary looking, and you could only see murderous vibes in his eyes. He stare


    d at Estelle for a while and then slowly said, “Sorry for any offense today, Mr. Lamont!”


    After that, hemanded his men, “Take Zachary and the others and leave!”


    The guys next to him were stunned and asked Xavier in disbelief, “Xavier, what’s going on?”


    ‘Go back and withdraw everyone from Pier 14!” Xavier said only one sentence, without any exnation


    , and left with a cold nce at Estelle.


    The others were puzzled; why did they withdraw so abruptly?


    But they didn’t dare to disobey Xavier’s orders, so they quickly carried the injured guys and followed Xa


    vier away.


    Jonathan’s men were also bewildered. Just now, the opposition seemed to be going all out, but now


    they left without putting up a fight?


    Mird frowned, “What’s going on?”


    Brooks sneered, “Just bluffing!”


    Jonathan didn’t say anything, just instructed, “Send the injured to the hospital, keep


    an eye on the pier, and don’t let any of Austin’s goodsnd.” “Understood!” Brooks immediately replied.

    Jonathan held Estelle’s hand, “Let’s go back!”


    Estelle was lost in thought and nodded after a pause, “Okay.”


    Jonathan gently squeezed her hand, “Why is it so cold?”


    Estelle shook her head, “It’s fine, let’s go!”


    They got into the car, and Jonathan leaned over to help Estelle fasten her seatbelt, touching her face, “


    Were you scared?”


    Estelle held the seatbelt and smiled thinly, “Not really, let’s go!”


    Jonathan’s tone turned serious, “If something like this happens again,


    you must listen to me and not be stubborn!”


    Estelle nodded obediently this time, “Okay!”


    The car drove towards downtown, and when they arrived at the Royal Mansion, Jonathan got out of the


    car with Estelle. She turned to him, “You can go do your


    thing, don’t worry about me, I’m not that scared.”


    Jonathan smiled lightly, “I’ll take you upstairs!”


    Estelle shook her head, “No need, I have to go see Emily. I’ll be fine going up on my own!”


    Jonathan finally agreed, “Alright, call me if you need anything.”


    “Okay!” Estelle waved at him and went into the elevator.


    When the elevator door closed, Estelle’s expression softened. She


    went home, changed her clothes, and quickly left again.


    In an old, unremarkable warehouse near the pier, there was a sign that read “Big Arms Moving Compa


    ny” – a random and perfunctorypany


    name.


    When Estelle entered, about ten shirtless guys were gathered around drinking and smoking, with


    some goods


    piled up in the warehouse. There were only two small windows on the ceiling, so the lighting was dim,


    and the smell of sweat and cheap cigarettes mixed together, filling every corner with the help of an ind


    ustrial fan in the corner.


    As she walked in, someone casually asked while ying cards, “Here to check the goods or looking fo


    r movers?”


    Estelle didn’t say anything and continued walking inside.
