Chapter 190
Wasyl's entire demeanor changed the moment he got off the phone, and Cheryl could tell that something had gone wrong. She quickly approached him to ask, "What happened?"
"Makson led his men to stir up trouble at your family's factory, but he was caught red-handed by the police commissioner himself and has been arrested. Your family's factory has resumed work as a result, so I need to speak to Mr. Wafer right now!"
With that, Wasyl dialed his assistant's number and instructed him to prepare his car and three million dollars in cash.
"I'll go with you!" Cheryl said when she heard this.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" The guard immediately stopped them.
"I'm Wasyl Abbott, the heir to Abbott Group. I'm here to see Mr. Wafer. Please tell him I'm here. Tell him I'm a friend of Makson Reager's!"
The guard shot Wasyl a cold look. "Alright. Wait here!"
With that, he turned and disappeared.
Cheryl glanced around her surroundings nervously and clung to Wasyl's arm. This was one of the places in Drunham City with the tightest security around, and ordinary people could not even make it to the gate before being stopped by the guards.
Cheryl glanced in the direction that the guard left in and whispered, "Do you think Mr. Wafer will agree to see us?"
Wasyl grinned. "Don't worry—he will! Makson and I are close friends, and besides, Abbott Group is one of the largest corporations in the city, so of course he'll agree to meet us!"
All of a sudden, the guard returned, along with five or six of his colleagues dressed in the same uniforms.
Wasyl beamed at this. "See? He knew we were coming and sent more people out here to escort us!"

As soon as he finished his sentence, the six other men behind him whipped out their batons and lunged toward Wasyl and Cheryl.
Wasyl was utterly stunned by this sudden twist. Before he could even register what was going on, one of the guards pinned him to the ground, and the next moment, he was being beaten furiously!
"Ah! Stop! Hey, what's going on? There must be a misunderstanding! I'm Wasyl Abbott, the heir of Abbott Group! I'm friends with Makson! Please stop hurting me! Ow! Please, I'm begging you to stop," Wasyl wailed in agony with his arms around his head, shielding himself from the cruel beating.
However, no one took notice of his word nor made any move to stop. It was as though they received orders to beat him to death. Wasyl's cries for help echoed through the entire hill.
These men only received orders regarding Wasyl and not Cheryl, so she was shoved aside, and forced to watch in horror as Wasyl was being beaten to death. She finally snapped out of her stupor and tried to stop them. "Stop hurting him! Stop it! This is the heir of Abbott Group! You must be mistaken! You'd better stop hitting him or else."
"Smack!"
All of a sudden, the guard turned around and slapped Cheryl so hard that she fell onto the ground from the impact. He snarled, "Keep your mouth shut if you don't want to be hit too!"
