Chapter 1490


    Theo refused to cooperate. Even though his hands were tied, his legs were still flexible.


    He caught the men off guard by lifting his leg andunching a horizontal kick. The ck-d man who tried to approach him earlier was sent catapulting a distance away.


    However, it was clear that these men were not easy to deal with either. When they saw Theounching a counterattack, the four men who were initially standing in the corner of the room immediately rushed forward.


    Theo dodged them with great skills and increased the speed of his attack. Not one ck-d man was able to get near him.


    Despite that, he made sure to keep a distance from me to ensure I was safe.


    I wanted to help him, but there was nothing I could do.


    "That''s enough." It was only until Ernest shouted with great impatience did the ck-d men disperse.


    "There''s no need to cause a scene here. We just want to talk to Mrs. Grant alone. That''s why we''re inviting Mr. Grant to the room next door for a rest. Why are you causing a scene?"


    He let out a greedy smile, during which the gaze in his eyes revealed malicious intentions.


    We both knew that Theo and I had no other choice.


    In order to stop them from hurting Theo, I could only persuade him. "Theo, why don''t you go elsewhere first? Don''t worry. They need my signature, so they can''t hurt me."


    Theo nced at me. He knew that it would be even more dangerous if we continued fighting, so he nodded to me and said," Take care of yourself and leave the rest to me."


    Theo finished his sentence and red at Ernest before walking out while surrounded by a group of ck-d men.


    The room door closed once more. I turned around to look at Ernest. After waiting for a few seconds, he did not say anything.


    However, the wall behind him suddenly lit up.


    I realized then that the wall was fully transparent ss.


    On the other side of the ss wall, Theo was taken to the room next door by two men. I did not know if he could see me from over there. He was Seen staring straight ahead after sitting down.


    I saw a third ck-d man behind him, walking straight toward him. I had a bad feeling and wanted to


    warn Theo, but before I could saket


    anything, I saw the man holding what seemed like a stun gun and pressing it against the back of


    Theo''s neck. Theo then copsed on


    the chair.


    I looked at Theo with his head hanging low, feeling an excruciating pain as though my heart had cracked open.


    The ck-d men dispersed, and Ernest''s voice brought me back to attention. "So, are you awake now, Mrs. Grant?"


    "You''re a bunch of beasts!"


    "How can you say that, Mrs. Grant?


    We''re just trying to help you get used to it. If what you said is true, that Munchkin is your family because you raised him, I wonder what it would feel like to see your husband''s head hung low before your eyes?" He deliberately asked.


    "But don''t worry, we''re just letting Mr. Grant pass out temporarily so you can feel what it''s like. You have to regain your senses as soon as possible, though.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Otherwise, Mr. Grant may not wake up anymore."


    His smile was smug as though everything was under his control.


    "Do you really think there''s now out there?" I was itching to pounce at him and tear him to shreds with my teeth,


    "What do you think, Mrs. Grant?" Not only was he not afraid, but he returned the question with a smile.


    "I think if you have other ns in mind now. It''s best to consider your family''s safety. If you make a wrong decision, then Munchkin might be the one who can''t wake upter."


    After saying that, he pushed a box toward me with a vial in it. "Of course, Mr. Grant could be the first to go."
