Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 71 Change of Target

Seeing Herbert's behavior was too much, Tony, being the hothead he was, couldn't just stand by and watch his

mom get humiliated. He stormed forward, shouting, "What the hell, man? Let go of my mom, or I'll bash your

head in!" Tony grabbed a wine bottle and charged at Herbert, but Herbert's goons quickly pinned him to the

dining table. Brian and Brenda saw their son being restrained and instantly freaked out.

Brian, all nervous, said, "Herbert, I'm sorry. My son is young and doesn't know better. This has nothing to do with

the kids. Please, let them go. We can talk this out."

"Yeah, let them go first," Brenda added, even though she was still humiliated, she was more worried about the

kids.

Herbert gave Brenda a sleazy smile and said, "Alright, I'll let them go, but you have to spend the night with me."

"This..." Brenda looked at Brian and the kids, feeling totally stuck.

Brian was furious, but as a law-abiding businessman, he was no match for Herbert. When he tried to stand up to

him, Herbert's men slapped him.

Zara was also fuming, but she didn't dare to resist. Chloe was still there, and if Chloe got hurt, how could she

explain it to Nicholas?

Brenda tried her best to negotiate with Herbert, hoping to get him to release Tony, Chloe, and Zara first.

Chloe pulled Zara aside and whispered, "Zara, what the hell is going on?"

Zara, while keeping an eye on things, quickly filled Chloe in. Turned out, Zara cto Sovereign City to handle

this.

For the past two years, Herbert had been screwing them over, pushing the family toward bankruptcy because he

wanted Brenda as his mistress. Brenda refused, and Brian had been protecting her. But Herbert wouldn't give up

and kept sabotaging their business, causing constant trouble.

Zara, who studied law in college, cto Sovereign City intending to use legal means to bring Herbert down.

But as soon as she arrived, Herbert cto bully them again. Facing such bullying, the Gibson family had no

way to fight back. After quickly explaining, Zara apologized to Chloe, "Chloe, I'm sorry our family's mess has put

you in danger. If there's a chance later, you should get out of here first."

Even in danger, Zara insisted Chloe leave first. But how could Chloe abandon her good friend?

Everyone present, except for Chloe and Zara, was controlled by Herbert's men. Maybe they thought Chloe and

Zara, being girls, wouldn't cause any trouble.

While Zara and Chloe whispered, Herbert wasn't just standing around either. He was pulling Brenda and

negotiating with Brian. "Brian, you had an art show today and didn't invite me, which pissedoff. Then | heard

you've got sbusiness going on without me, and that really got under my skin. Want to make it right? It's

simple. | won't mess with your wife, just givea few paintings from your show and we're good."

Herbert pushed Brenda away and then signaled his men to throw a list of paintings at Brian's face.

The Gibson family had bought quite a few paintings for the exhibition, and giving a few to Herbert wouldn't be a

big deal.

Unfortunately, the paintings Herbert wanted were not ordinary ones but the ones Chloe had borrowed from

Grant. Those paintings were famous and worth millions of dollars each. Herbert asking for those paintings was

clearly robbery. Looking at the list in his hand, Brian's face instantly broke out in a sweat. Despite the pain from

being slapped by Herbert's men, he still smiled and tried to negotiate with Herbert, "Herbert, if you want other

paintings, | can give them to you, but these paintings are not ours. It's not appropriate forto give them to

you. Besides, even if we sold all our assets, it wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of these paintings. How

about you choose sother paintings?" As soon as Brian finished speaking, Herbert slapped him again. Tony

and Brenda rushed to protect Brian and were also slapped a few times.

Zara couldn't hold back any longer. As a law student, she couldn't just watch her family being humiliated. "Stop

it. In broad daylight, your actions are illegal. Let go of my family, or I'll call the police right now."

After saying that, Zara grabbed her phone to call the police, but one of Herbert's men immediately rushed

forward, snatched her phone, and smashed it on the ground.

"Well, well, there's a little beauty here too? | must say, she looks like Brenda. A spitfire, aren't you?" The moment

Herbert saw Zara, he instantly shifted his attention to her.

Brenda panicked when she saw this. "Herbert, she's my niece, she's still young, please don't hurt her, I'll drink

with you."

Brenda had to submit to Herbert to save Zara. But Herbert slapped Brenda away and turned his bulky body

toward the younger, more attractive Zara.

As he approached, he kept saying
