Chapter 1688


    Kya had no idea what was happening, all she did was chattering about everything she saw along the


    way, like a woman walking a pretty dog, or how cute the dog’s outfit was, or the strange hat an olddy


    was wearing.


    Estelle spoke to her in a hushed voice, her expression rxed, her steps light. Soon they entered the


    market.


    The men who had been trailing Estelle exchanged nces, gathering around the store, waiting for the


    right chance. Suddenly they all heard the same sentence in their earpieces, “Proceed two hundred


    yards down the eastward road.”


    The men looked surprised. They had already locked onto their target, why were they to leave now?


    But they didn’t dare disobey orders, and, as if by agreement, they headed down the eastward road.


    After walking more than two hundred yards, anothermand came through, directing them to turn


    left.


    After another two to three hundred yards, both sides of the road were lined with tall trees, and the


    environment gradually became quiet. Suddenly, four or five men appeared, each of them robust and


    defiant. They realized until then that someone had hacked their earpiece terminal, intentionally leading


    them here.


    It was toote to run.


    In less than five minutes, all five of the men were knocked on the ground. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Mird stepped on one man’s arm, and with a “crack,” the bone broke. The man on the ground


    screamed in agony.


    “Tell Cliff Crawley to stop messing with Estelle. If Estelle loses even a single hair, his daughter will lose


    a finger. Once the fingers are gone, we’ll move to hands and feet!” Mird’s voice was fiercely cold,


    “Since he’s already in J City, so let’s get this over with. It’s better not use dirty pool. Remember, this is J


    City!”


    The man was sweating profusely, nodding in fear, “I’ll deliver the message!”


    Mird took a few steps back and ordered his men, “Let them go!”


    The five men staggered to their feet, looking warily at Mird and his group. After a few steps back,


    they turned and ran.


    Mird said coolly, “Keep an eye on them.”


    “Yes!”


    Estelle bought a toy set in the toy section and let a store clerk y with Kya for a while. She stepped


    out of the store for the market.


    Yet, after checking the market, she couldn’t find those suspicious men.


    She was a bit puzzled. Had she been mistaken?


    Not wanting to waste any more time, Estelle returned to the store, picked up Kya and headed home.


    She remained vignt all the way to her apartment building, but nothing seemed amiss.


    Estelle furrowed her brows slightly and took Kya home.


    Ms. Simmons’ situation was a bitplicated and she couldn’t return for now. Around noon, Estelle


    called Jonathan and told him she couldn’t meet him as she had to take care of Kya.


    Jonathan didn’t say much, just chuckled warmly. “Then you stay home with Kya. I’ll have someone


    deliver lunch to you.”


    “Okay


    Estelle hung up the phone and continued ying with Kya.


    Magdalen had given Antonia a pretty thorough beating the day before and knew there would be


    repercussions. She had been expecting the Crawley family toe after her.


    Antonia was the Crawley family’s only daughter and they did as they wanted in B City. With their


    beloved daughter so humiliated by someone, they were sure to retaliate


    She had considered the consequences before beating Antonia and was not the least bit afraid!


    However, it was almost noon and there had been no movement from the Crawley family, and her


    parents hadn’t called either. This was weird!


    The flight from B City to J City was only about two hours. If they wereing, they should have arrived


    by now!
