Grace shrieked in shock, crossed her arms in front of her chest to protect herself, and dodged to the side to avoid Logan.
Logan’s face immediately darkened. He asked in displeasure, “What are you hiding for? Do you still think that I’ll let you off?”
Grace’s heart was pounding hard. The man in front of her made her feel terrified and disgusted. The thought of submitting to him made her feel miserable.
She opened her big watery eyes and looked at Logan sorrowfully. “Previously, you said you would treat me well and let me feel your sincerity so that I would fall in love with you and give myself to you willingly. Actually, during this time, I did change my opinion about you and developed good feelings for you. Are you trying to ruin all of that by doing this to me now?”
Logan Hale snorted with disdainful laughter. “Forget it! Don’t even think about trying to fool me with those words. I’ve been toying with women since I was a teenager, and I’ve seen more tricks than you, so save it! Love? That’s bullshit. I’ve never believed in true love. That’s just something I say to coax you silly women into getting intimate with me! I’m not interested in talking about love and romance with you now. I just want to sleep with you!”
As he spoke, he forced her into the corner and pounced at her again.
Bang! Bang!
The bedroom door was suddenly knocked on a few times.
The only one who could knock at this time was Amelia.
Furious at being disturbed again, Logan turned around and roared, “Damn it! Why is that brat so recalcitrant?! This time, I have to kick her hard a few times to make sure she knows to behave herself!”
Logan walked toward the door menacingly.
Although Amelia was his trump card, he just had to keep her alive. Lucas wouldn’t be able to do anything to him even if he taught her a lesson to make her behave herself!
“No! Don’t lose your temper with her! I’ll get her to go to her room immediately!” Grace hurriedly dashed over to stop Logan.
Amelia was young and vulnerable. If Logan kicked her hard in a moment of fury, she would definitely be severely injured. Her life might even be in danger!
However, Grace couldn’t stop Logan in time. He had already pulled open the door of the room while cursing incessantly. “Little brat, I told you to be quiet. Don’t you understand…”
Logan abruptly stopped cursing as a look of horror instantly appeared on his face. He looked straight at the door, and his leg that he thrust outward was clamped down by a hand.
This hand obviously didn’t belong to the little girl Amelia. It belonged to a man!
The person who suddenly appeared in the doorway turned out to be Jordan, Lucas’s underling!
“You… you… why…”
Logan was dumbstruck. He was overwhelmed with astonishment and fear, and his mind went blank. He couldn’t form a complete sentence at all.
Only when he felt a sharp and excruciating pain in his ankle did he snap back to his senses and shriek in horror.
Jordan squeezed Logan’s ankle hard, tightening his grip, instantly breaking Logan’s ankle with a loud cracking sound!
“Ah!” Logan Hale shrieked at the top of his lungs as he fell onto the ground, unable to stand on his feet anymore because of the immense pain.
“How dare you try to harm a child, scum! I really want to kill you!” Jordan hollered in fury. He dragged Logan out of the room by his broken ankle and then slammed him hard against the coffee table in the living room!
Various sounds rang out and clattered as the wooden coffee table with thin legs was instantly smashed, and the vases and teacups on the coffee table immediately fell onto the marble floor and shattered into pieces!
Logan was dizzy from the slam, and the bones in his back seemed to be on the verge of breaking. He couldn’t get up for a long time.
He shrieked continuously in pain, which was spreading all over his back, waist, and other parts of his body. The pain in his ankle was especially intense, as it made him feel faint and about to black out.
Unfortunately, he didn’t even have the right to faint now.
With cold sweat covering his head, Logan forced himself to look at Jordan. “H-how did you find this place?”
This villa, which Logan had secretly bought in someone else’s name, was specifically meant for hiding the women he liked and for him to commit some sordid acts. Since it wasn’t under his name, Logan had always treated this place as the safest place. In that case, how did Jordan and Lucas find this place?
Jordan laughed derisively. “It’s all thanks to you leading the way, dimwit!”
“Leading the way?” After pondering for a while, it dawned on Logan that Jordan and Lucas had followed him here and that everything that he heard them say through the listening device was deliberately said to make him let his guard down!
At this moment, his heart was full of regret! Why was I so careless and easily fooled by that bastard Lucas?!
In fact, there were several bodyguards whom Logan had arranged to guard the villa so that Grace wouldn’t escape. They were also Logan’s personal bodyguards who were responsible for his safety here.
But the fact that Jordan had entered meant that the bodyguards outside had been dealt with! After all, Logan had personally witnessed Jordan’s terrifying combat skills in the bar earlier.
The thought of this made Logan’s face turn paler. At the same time, an incredible sense of fear surged in his heart stronger than before!
I’m finished!
Logan dared threaten Lucas at the bar only because he was still holding Lucas’s Achilles’ heel, Amelia, hostage.
But Lucas and Jordan had now found him, and his greatest trump card, Amelia, was gone!
Previously, Lucas managed to get rid of Scarlet Wright silently with just a single command. He really dared to kill!
Thinking about the terrifying power that Lucas showed, Logan clenched his teeth, so horrified that his face was bloodless.
If Lucas wanted him to die now, he would be able to get him killed with a single command…
“I-I was wrong. I’m sorry, I will compensate you as much as you want! But you can’t kill me… I’m a Hale. If you kill me, my family won’t let you off!” Logan begged miserably while weeping and bringing up his family in hopes of deterring Lucas and Jordan.
“Hmph, the Hales are no big deal,” Jordan said in disdain.
At this moment, someone exclaimed coldly, “Break his legs, knock him out, and drag him away!”
