Semua Bab Love's Masquerade: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Cedric stood at a distance away, watching as Charles and his men struggled against their attackers. He seemed to have no intention of helping the latter.Rocco, who was standing behind Cedric, watched on as well. After ten minutes, it became evident that Charles was going to be on the losing end. Even though he and the girl were skilled fighters, they were no match for Markel's men. Markel's forces not only possessed exceptional combat abilities, they also outnumbered the two greatly. Cedric figured that Charles and his partner wouldn't be able to hold out for more than another ten minutes. Should their reinforcements fail to make it on time, Markel would undoubtedly win this battle. Markel despised the security team. It was because of them that he had to suffer so much. Though the former leader of this area, he had been reduced to a mere pawn who depended on running errands to make a living. Now, the security team was making even that difficult for him. Naturally, it was cl

After returning to her room, Faye put her headphones back on and heard Charles softly but desperately calling out for her. "What's wrong?" Don't tell her that Charles had been taken down in the short time she'd been away.If that were the case, she might need to reconsider who she picked as the deputy team leader.It'd be embarrassing to have such a weak deputy team leader. "Finally!" Charles almost gave up in despair. He was relieved to finally hear Faye's voice again. "I was wondering if you know someone called 'C'?"C?Faye narrowed her eyes. "Just tell me."Charles composed himself and said in all seriousness, "Remember how you asked me to look into XL after a batch of goods was detained last time? Well, I didn't pay too much attention that time. However, a man called 'C' came in just now."Charles carried on. "It seems like he wants to talk to me about the goods, and I happened to remember you requesting these documents. So I was wondering how you'd like me to deal w

Dusting herself off, Faye let out a deep sigh and surveyed the people lying on the ground. The scene was grim as the men either had broken limbs or swollen faces. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the six or seven men who had been injured by Jason earlier emerging from one corner. They all held weapons and rushed over to help, but stopped in their tracks when they saw what had happened. Faye's fair face was flushed from the exertion as she glanced at the newcomers. Smiling, she waved them over. "Come here."Instantly, the men took several steps back. They looked at Faye as if she was a monster. They had heard a fight going on earlier, and even though they didn't see who beat their men up, Faye's presence was more than enough to raise suspicions. The leader of the group asked cautiously, "Who are you?"Faye responded with a lazy smile. "That's not important. What is important, however—" Her expression turned serious as she snapped, "Is that you've hurt someone who belo

Marie had invited Avery, assuming the latter would turn down the wedding invitation. She implied that Avery was poor by emphasizing that the flight and accommodation were paid for, all while boasting Edward's generosity.Therefore, she was aghast to see Avery happily accept the invitation card. "Wow, Mr. Chase is indeed wealthy and generous. How many guests have you invited? It's incredibly thoughtful of you to turn your wedding into a Melvina getaway for all your guests by covering their travel and lodging expenses."Avery was well aware that Edward's friends were just as affluent as he was, so none of them would flinch at the cost of the destination wedding. Her comment was nothing more than an attempt to embarrass Marie.Now, Avery had made it sound like the newlyweds would shoulder the costs for all their guests. Everyone around them clapped and cheered, praising Edward for being so giving.Among their childhood friends, some were not particularly successful or well-off. They h

Jason had been smoking by the entrance to calm his thoughts. Just as he was about to finish his cigarette, he noticed a woman who looked like Avery being carried out from the bar. Without a second thought, he shadowed the group.The men stuffed the abducted woman into the trunk and slammed it shut. Just as they were getting into the car, Jason sprang into action, delivering a powerful punch to one of the abductors.Acting on instinct, he rushed to free the trapped woman, but belatedly noticed the two other men in the vehicle.Seeing their accomplice squirming on the ground after being hit, the two men immediately ignited the car's engine and sped away. Jason desperately clung to the trunk lid, but the drivers made sharp, evasive maneuvers as they gained speed in an attempt to shake him off—ultimately causing him to lose his grip.To make matters worse, a group of accomplices from the bar swarmed Jason when they noticed him chasing the fleeing vehicle. Jason took them on one by on
