"Why does he want to take revenge on Elena? Isn't business competition normal? Besides, he attacked Elena's company first. Elena was just retaliating. Should my wife just sit quietly and accept her fate?" Jack protested.

For some reason, he felt uneasy when Nicklaus Hunter played the victim.

"Hmm, maybe he feels his ego is hurt because he was defeated by a woman, especially one so young," Jacob said.

Jack waved his hand. "That's an unreasonable excuse. Why not try to talk to her calmly? Elena won't just sit idly by and let her company be destroyed. Thousands of employees depend on her."

Jacob nodded. "You're right. I do need to end this endless grudge. He's crossed the line."

"What about the Jepson family?"

The father's brow furrowed. "As far as I know, they haven't bothered the Pierce family. Talia might not even know that Elena's mother is her sister. They’re more focused on their genocide plans against Eliot’s home country."

So the one still holding a grudge was Nicklaus Hun

  • Her Hot Bodyguard   Part 149

    For the umpteenth time, Elena stomped her feet on the floor with a pout on her lips. Once again, her father had forgotten. This time, he had forgotten the magnetic card to open the safe. Half an hour had passed, but the card was still nowhere to be found. She was growing tired, bored, and hungry. Her husband returned to the secret room with a sweaty face. His eyes widened with excitement."How about it? Did you find it?"Jack sighed deeply. "Let's go home first. Dad really forgot where he put the card.""How could he forget? That card is really important!" Elena exclaimed in disbelief."Never mind, it's been so long. Before your grandfather passed away, so it's been years ago. We'll look for it again tomorrow," Jack said calmly. "Let's go home first. Let your father rest." With a mix of frustration and disappointment, Elena stood up from the sofa and left the messy secret room. She almost scolded her father, but her steps halted.Edward Brown looked exhausted but not defeated. He

    Elena only ate a quarter of the portions of all the food served on the dining table. She didn't do it on purpose; it was just that after eating a quarter of a portion, the food didn't taste good to her anymore."Don't force yourself if you can't eat anymore. I'll eat it later."She was still silent. Angry and sulking at the same time. Her eyes glanced at the fresh-looking chocolate milk. Roughly, she grabbed the milk in the glass, causing droplets of water to form on the outside of the glass.It tasted incredibly fresh. Honestly, she was very satisfied and full.After finishing, she stood up and returned to her room. Her heart still ached, and she was still angry. Roughly, she closed the door to her room. She didn’t care if the door got damaged. After all, her father would fix it. She sat facing the large glass window overlooking the other tall buildings. Soon after, the bedroom door opened and closed. "I'm sorry," his husband said. She remained silent. A long sigh was heard, an

    Elena had been crying in her father's office for half an hour. Even though Edward was so busy, he put his work aside to calm his little girl down."Have a drink to calm your heart," Edward said, handing her a bottle of mineral water. "Remember, you're pregnant. Don't let your baby feel what you're feeling."Elena's heart seemed to stop for a moment before beating faster. How could she have forgotten that? She took the bottle, which had already been opened, and drank a few sips. "Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. Whatever your problem is, don't let your emotions get the better of you. For the sake of your unborn child."She followed her father's advice, and it helped calm her tears. Only a few sobs escaped. Her lips felt swollen from crying too long. "Now tell me why you were crying so hard?" Edward asked patiently. Her lips curled downward again as she recalled the reason for her sobbing. With great effort, she recounted what had happened, and tears began to flow again. Sh

    Jack's outburst startled Elena, especially when he snatched the gun from her hand. Her mouth gaped open in fear. She had never seen Jack so angry before, his eyes bulging and his face red with rage. Her heart began to race, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest. The corners of her lips turned downward. She shifted back to her original seat, her throat feeling tight. She had never been shouted at like this before, especially since Jack had never been angry before. Even when her eyes were teary, Jack didn't say anything. The man simply slammed the door after getting into the car."Let's go home," Jack said in a cold tone.Tears streamed down Elena’s face. She quickly wiped them away with trembling hands. Her gaze briefly met Nathan’s in the rearview mirror. She immediately looked away and cried silently. The atmosphere inside the car was suffocating. Even colder than when they had just returned from the hotel and faced the scandal. “Take me to Security Black.” Firm. Cold enoug

    Two black vans pulled up and stopped a short distance away from Jack's car. Men dressed in all black and carrying long firearms rushed out of the vehicles. There were quite a few of them."Oh, it looks like the old man wants to play." Jack grabbed the weapons stashed in the back seat and tossed them to Nathan and Brad. "Honey, duck down and take cover."Elena obeyed and hid her head under the window. Despite the discomfort in her stomach, she endured it.Memories of a similar incident from when she was with her father flashed back. It felt like déjà vu. However, Jack's presence now made her feel slightly reassured. Her husband could handle this.For several minutes, only the sound of gunfire echoed back and forth. Elena closed her eyes, praying that the baby in her womb wouldn't be traumatized. She had heard that babies still in the womb could record the events experienced by their mothers."Stay calm, dear. Mama is okay. Mama is safe beside your father. Pray for our safety. Papa is f
