Chapter 2200


    The day after


    Sylvia and Gabriel had returned from a lunch at a local diner, their conversation still lingering as they stepped out of the car. As they did, a group of


    five or six men approached them, their gazes lingering on Sylvia with ill-intentions.


    As they brushed past. one of the men reached out a bold hand towards Sylvia’s leg.


    With a swift motion, Sylvia pped him across the face, her expression a stunning portrait of icy fury.


    The man staggered backwards, anger zing in his eyes as he red at Sylvia. Turning to his cohorts, he snarled, “Take her down!


    Gabriel quickly pulled Sylvia behind him, grabbing the oing man''s arm and delivering a punch straight to his temple. The man reeled, utterly


    dazed, and toppled to the ground.


    Gabriel''s moves were swift and precise, his imposing aura causing the remaining men to hesitate. They exchanged nces and advanced as one.


    With Sylvia safely behind him, Gabriel handled the five assants with ease. Every so often, Sylvia would throw a punch — and while itcked


    Gabriel''s ruthless efficiency, it was still firm, precise, and powerful.


    Soon, the garage echoed with cries of pain, and no one dared toe closer.


    Before long, all six men were downed, one of them rolling behind a car. In his eyes red a vicious determination as he drew a knife from his pocket


    and stabbed it into his own thigh. Not satisfied, he gritted his teeth and drove the de into his abdomen.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Blood quickly pooled around him as he dragged himself out with a grimace of pain.


    At that moment, the wail of police sirens sounded at the entrance of the garage.


    Gabriel and Sylvia exchanged a look, their eyes filled with cold resolve.


    He let go of her hand, opened the car door, and said calmly, “Get inside and don''te out unless I say so.


    Sylvia hesitated, but at Gabriel''s reassuring nod, she climbed into the car and shut the door, watching him through the ss.


    The police arrived swiftly, and the men Gabriel had downed put on a disy of terror, staggering towards the officers as they disembarked


    “Murder!” they cried


    “Someone''s been killed!


    “Please, help us!”


    Gabriel leaned against the car door, lighting a cigarette as he watched the approaching police with a cool, unppable demeanor.

    Standing tall, Gabriel replied in a t tone, “Let’s talk at the station.”


    The officers, slightly intimidated by his presence but seeing his cooperation, simply said, “Get in the car.”


    Gabriel extinguished his cigarette, tossing the butt into a nearby trash can. As he nced back at Sylvia in the car, he gave her a subtle nod


    She watched him until the police


    cars pulled away and the garage fell


    silent ence more. Only then did’she


    leanback and close her eyes,her


    heart seething with unspoken rage.


    A few minutester, Sylvia stepped out of the car, her gaze sweeping indifferently over the bloodstains as she walked briskly towards the elevator.


    Back in her office, Baron''s call came through just in time.


    Staring at the name shing on the screen, Sylvia felt a surge of repulsion unlike anything she''d experienced before.


    After a few seconds, she answered.


    “Ms. Jarvis!” Baron''s voice was teasing,ced with smugness. “At work already?”


    Her voice was cool and detached, “Get to the point.”


    ‘Quite the temper, Ms. Jarvis. Still


    fond of, Gabriel?" Baron smacked Ais

    be able to keep youpany for


    much longer.” Content belongs ite)
