LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

As soon as these words came out, many of the business tycoons present fell silent, especially Peter Alston and Anne Cobb. They were very puzzled.

It was said that Elsa Garner was Theresa Hale’s mentor in the business world. But it didn’t seem to be the case. What kind of teacher treats their student this way? In other words… who exactly was Theresa Hale? In just seven years, she had built Skyhowl into a business empire!

Even if the mentorship between Elsa Garner and Theresa Hale was in name only, Elsa Garner couldn’t treat such a business prodigy this way, right? This was a bit too domineering!

Moreover…

Jun Chester, the pillar of Lordran and the real boss behind Skyhowl, was actually called a bastard by Elsa Garner? It was truly baffling!

At this time, Elise Garner had already walked in front of Theresa Hale. It was as if, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Elise Garner was really going to slap Theresa Hale.

But just then, a woman dressed in a men’s suit stepped forward from behind Theresa Hale, looking coldly at Elise Garner. Elise Garner was slightly startled and sneered, “Are you the mute bodyguard that Jun Chester placed beside Theresa Hale, Jane?”

The woman in the suit looked indifferently at Elise Garner without uttering a word. She was indeed mute. Tongueless. And unless you looked closely, it was hard to tell she was a woman. Her figure was slender, nearly 1. 8 meters tall, with short hair, prominent features, and flawless jade-like cheeks. She indeed looked somewhat masculine. Her name was indeed Jane.

She was a woman that Jun Chester had found on the battlefield years ago. But when he found her, her tongue had been cut out. Moreover, her chest had been mutilated. After Jun Chester saved her life, he kept her by his side for two years. Eight years ago, he placed her beside Theresa Hale, not wanting her to continue enduring the hardships of the battlefield as a woman.

Elise Garner looked disdainfully at Jane and said indifferently, “Get out of the way!” Jane didn’t move. A flash of coldness suddenly appeared in Elise Garner’s eyes, and she raised her hand to strike.

In that instant, Jane moved like lightning, grabbing Elise Garner’s wrist. Elise Garner narrowed her eyes, twisted her body, and aimed her elbow at Jane’s ribs. Her speed was astonishingly fast!

Jane was hit, but she only grunted and abruptly changed her stance. From her sleeve emerged a spike made of white jade, which she reversed and jabbed towards Elise Garner’s neck! At this critical moment, a flying shadow swept through, hitting the white jade spike with a clang. The spike shattered!

Elise Garner seized the opportunity, swiftly counterattacking with a punch to Jane’s abdomen. Bang! Jane staggered back five or six steps before stopping.

Immediately following, Elise Garner swiftly raised her hand and slapped Theresa Hale’s face. Smack! The sound of the slap was incredibly loud!

A hint of scarlet flowed from the corner of Theresa Hale’s mouth. She glared at Elise Garner resentfully but didn’t dare to utter a word.

Looking at Jane again, she first glanced at the shattered spike on the ground, then looked behind Elsa Garner. There she saw a man with a straight posture and extraordinary demeanor leisurely walking over. Obviously, the person who had just helped Elise Garner was this man.

Ken Garner.

Paul Garner’s elder brother.

Ken Garner stopped behind Elsa Garner, glanced at Elise Garner and said with a light smile, “I saved your life.”

Elise Garner, however, was ungrateful. She stared straight at Jane and said coldly, “You should have killed this cheap maid!”

Ken Garner shrugged and said, “She belongs to Jun Chester. It will be more interesting to kill her when Jun Chester arrives.”

Speaking of this, Ken Garner glanced at Theresa Hale and joked, “Girl, when you get your marriage certificate with Jun Chester in Dirtmouth, remember to come to my room, I’ve had my eye on you for a long time.”

Theresa Hale’s face turned dark with anger.

Elsa Garner turned her head to look at Ken Garner and said indifferently, “Don’t be so unruly, you’re not a child anymore, you should act more prudently!”

Ken Garner dismissed it, “It’s just a phone call. But you insist on coming to Dirtmouth personally to see that bastard. I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Elsa Garner said lightly, “I was just passing by. My real purpose for this trip is to visit Kong in South Lordran.”

A trace of coldness flashed in Ken Garner’s eyes. He said, “Kong’s house was raided by James Myers and Jun Chester. If Jun Chester doesn’t explain this, I’ll smash him to pieces!”

Elsa Garner smiled, “The more capable he is, the happier I am. Who could dislike a dog being more aggressive?”

Ken Garner feigned a shiver and said, “I was annoyed by him when I was a kid. If he becomes a dog for our Garner family, I’ll be annoyed to death every day!”

Elsa Garner commanded, “Call Paul and ask him to bring Jun Chester over. Really, you and your brother Paul, you both love to play, and neither of you act like adults. Knowing that I was coming today, he didn’t take it seriously!”

Ken Garner laughed, “I’ll call him now.”

All the people present didn’t dare to breathe.

Apart from Theresa Hale and Jane, everyone, including Peter Alston and Anne Cobb, was guessing who Paul Garner really was!

Just at this moment, Ken Garner’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Ken Garner was taken aback and chuckled, “It’s Paul Garner’s call.”

Saying this, Ken Garner answered the call.

However, the voice on the other end was a woman’s: “Are you Paul Garner’s brother? I’m calling from the emergency center of Dirtmouth Central Hospital. Your brother has fractured all over his body, his life is hanging by a thread, you need to come sign the papers right away!”

Ken Garner was stunned, “What?”

The woman repeated, “Paul Garner is critically injured with fractures all over his body. You need to come to Dirtmouth Central Hospital immediately to sign the papers. We need to operate on your brother right away, any delay could cost him his life.”

Ken Garner couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Paul Garner…

Fractured all over his body?

What kind of joke was this?

With Paul Garner’s state, bullets couldn’t even pierce his skin. Now, the hospital was notifying him that Paul Garner had fractures all over his body?

The woman on the other end of the phone, not receiving a timely response from Ken Garner, urged again, “Quickly, your brother has fainted again. I don’t have time to say more right now, that’s it.”

After saying this, the woman hung up the phone.

Ken Garner stared blankly at the phone, his face full of astonishment.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

“Excuse me, which of you is Miss Theresa Hale?”

Everyone instinctively looked over. It was a man dressed casually, but he was as thin as a rake.

It was Bruce Wells, the beloved disciple of Jun Chester.

His mission was to take Theresa Hale back home at Jun Chester’s request.

Upon hearing Bruce Wells say her name, Theresa Hale sized up Bruce Wells, who looked like a sickly individual, and asked, “You are…?”

Bruce Wells hurried over and respectfully said, “Miss Hale, my master sent me to take you home.”

Just as he was saying this, Bruce Wells noticed that Theresa Hale appeared as if she had been slapped. He paused, furrowed his brows, and said, “Miss Hale, the injury on your face… who hit you?”

Theresa Hale didn’t know how to explain to Bruce Wells, and she was also even more puzzled.

This guy…

Why did he recognize her?

At this point, Bruce Wells’s expression had turned ugly. He had already set his gaze on Elise Garner’s face and questioned, “Was it you who hit her?”

Elise Garner glanced at Bruce Wells and looked at Theresa Hale, sneering, “Where did this sickly weakling come from?”

Theresa Hale opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitated.

Bruce Wells coldly looked at Elise Garner and said, “I’m asking you a question, did you hit her?”

Elise Garner scornfully replied, “What if I did?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, Bruce Wells took a step forward, raised his hand, and slapped Elise Garner’s face, simultaneously cursing, “You’re quite arrogant, huh? Do you think I don’t hit women?”

“…”

“…”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“…”

Elise Garner was hit and staggered several steps to the side.

She didn’t expect this sickly individual to be so quick and powerful.

At this point, Ken Garner, who had realized that something was wrong, had already reacted. Without saying a word, he threw a punch at Bruce Wells. After a few steps, his fist fell.

The move was heavy and powerful!

Inadvertently, it was like a mountain pressing down.

But before Ken Garner’s fist could land on Bruce Wells’s head, Bruce Wells had already bent over and punched Ken Garner’s chest.

Bang!

Ken Garner was sent flying tens of meters away, crashing into a pillar in the airport terminal covered with marble.

His entire body was embedded in the pillar!

The scene… was dead silent!

But Bruce Wells just glanced at Ken Garner, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Theresa Hale again. He grinned and said, “Miss Hale, when we get home, don’t tell my master that I cursed or mention that I hit this man, hehe, because that punch just now… was so unskilled. If my master knew, he would definitely ignore me.”

Theresa Hale was now completely stunned.

She knew about Ken Garner’s strength, but now, he was sent flying?

Elsa Garner narrowed her eyes, looking at Bruce Wells as if facing a great enemy, and coldly asked, “Who is your master?”

Bruce Wells looked at Elsa Garner and retorted, “And who the hell are you?”
