Chapter 243: Delicate BodyguardThe moment Ethan noticed the panic in Janet’s eyes, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on
her collarbone. His voice rang in her ears, “it’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m here with you. Please calm down.”
Jclosed her eyes and took a deep breath when he finished speaking. She then turned around and hugged him tightly. With
tears welling up in her eyes, she said, “I really wish I could calm down However, I can’t help but think that I have caused a lot of
trouble.”
Now, Jwished she could turn back the hands of time. She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. Stroking her hair to
comfort her, Ethan sealed her lips with a kiss. She was forced to swallow the words she wanted to say.
The topmost agenda on Ethan’s list was to get rid of Jocelyn and Fiona once and for all.
But before he could cup with a good plan, he received a call from Garrett.
“Hey, buddy. I just found out something. You need to stop whatever you have planned. Did you know that Jocelyn is Luke’s new
mistress?” Ethan’s eyes darkened immediately. He had heard that Luke had a lot of girlfriends, but he didn’t expect that Jocelyn
would be one of them.
“So what? How is that a big deal? Isn’t he fond of changing mistresses as if he’s changing clothes? Or is he very serious with
Jocelyn?” He sneered.
“Yes, he changes mistresses every now and then. But I don’t know if he’s serious with Jocelyn or not. I honestly don’t think he
heard that Luke pulled sstrings to have Fiona released from prison. That means he can do anything for them because he
likes Jocelyn, at least for now. If you must do something to them, you have to tread with caution. That’s all I can say,” Garrett said
seriously.
Ethan’s lips thinned into a grim line as he listened to this advice. As much as he hated to admit it, Garrett was right. There was
no mistaking that Luke was a formidable opponent. His powerful family background and connections had been built decades
ago. Ethan doubted if even Brandon’s identity could stand a chance against such a man.
“Okay, I have heard all that you said. Now assign a skilled bodyguard to secretly follow Jeverywhere she goes.” Ethan’s
fingers tightened until his entire arm ached due to the force.
“Make it a female bodyguard.”
“Ha-ha! I have to say that I got more and more to take care of since you got married. Better givea raise, bro,” Garrett
commented jokingly.
Immediately after the call ended, he started searching for a skilled female bodyguard just as Ethan had ordered. Although there
was a battalion of excellent bodyguards, only a few of them were women. It was extremely hard to find the perfect one.
But in the end, a female bodyguard was recommended to him by a professional security organization called Shadow, which
specialized in the training of assassins and bodyguards.
Garrett personally went to the provided address to meet her. Speople were on the training ground at this time. The place
stalemate
Garrett’s full attention was on the woman in dark purple tight clothes. She looked very young and thin. Her was slender and she
had a delicate appearance. She looked like one of those women that any man would want protect at first glance. None of her
features indicated that she was a good fighter.
With a slight frown, Garrett tore off his gaze and looked at the man beside him. “I find it rather appalling that you have sunk this
low. Don’t you have a heart? How can you allow twenty men to fight such a delicate woman?”
The man smiled and replied, “Mr. Harding, please don’t let her looks deceive you. This woman is Laney Garcia, the female
bodyguard we recommended you on the phone. And the men are her students. Although she looks delicate, she’s more
experienced and stronger than many male bodyguards in the industry. You should watch her in action.”
Staring at the bare-faced woman, Garrett laughed and uttered, “I should watch her in action? Are you kidding me? What’s there
to watch? She’s too thin to be a qualified bodyguard. Those men can break her bones with just a punch!” All of a sudden, Laney
turned around and quit the training. She left the training area and walked towards Garrett. “Hey, did I offend you?” Garrett looked
at her teasingly.
Laney, who had one hand at her back, signaled for Garrett to cforward with her other hand. But before he could say or
move an inch, she moved to him like lightning. Everything happened so fast. The next thing Garrett knew was that his back hit
the ground with a thud. The supposedly delicate woman had knocked down a six-foot-tall man in a split second!
“Ouch!” A cry of pain escaped Garrett’s lips as he lay on the ground. Laney dusted her hands and said, “For your information, I
can deal with twenty more men like you using just one hand. Let’s just say you weren’t prepared. Do you want to go again?”
The pain was too much that it seemed Garrett’s spinal cord was broken. Biting his lips, he struggled to get up. He then waved his
hand and said, “No need. I will take you.”
