Chapter 1661
“No one can resiar the allure of a place that instills fear and dread, a place from which people run. I happen to be
the ruler of such a place Everyone’s fate here whether they live or die, hinges on my mood”
He turned his head, gazing at Chloe’s calm and collected face. His fingers gently stroked her smooth jawline. His
eyes were intense, and his voice was low “Scared?
Chice held his gaze. Her lips parted into a soft smirk. “So, you’re really a gangster.”
Controlling the lives of everyone here was exactly what a gangster does.
Damon raised his eyebrows A low chuckle escaped his lips as he leaned in, his forehead resting against Chloe’s.
“Right. So you’re the girlfriend of a gangster now.“c2
Chloe smirked. “Well, I happen to be tough.”
At around three in the morning, a commotion at the gate attracted the attention of the steel mill. Despite the
distance, the sound piercing the silence of the night was hard to ignore.
Yasmine, seated in her wheelchair, stirred from her rest at the sound. She slowly opened her eyes, listening
attentively to the distant clamor. Her expression was calm, as if she were listening to a beautiful piece of music.
The gate was soon opened, and the sound of metal scraping against metal echoed through the area. Wendy walked
in hurriedly, a look of panic etched on her face When she spotted Yasmine in the center of the room, her anxiety
faded. She approached Yasmine with a smile playing on her lips. “Did you hear that?”
Yasmine rubbed her temples. “It’s quite noisy outside
Wendy chuckled. “Indeed. Don’t you want to know who’s causing all that noise?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYasmine remained silent.
Unperturbed, Wendy continued, “Mother knows best, I guess I knew she’d come looking. I just didn’t think she’d be
so quick. Pity, I thought I could get some sleep tonight.”
Yasmine slowly looked up at Wendy, with a hint of irony in her eyes. “I suggest you get some sleep. You might not
have the chance later.”
Wendy paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Are you suggesting your daughter is going to kill me?
That’s hilarious.”
She laughed heartily, shaking her head at Yasmine. “Admittedly, your daughter is clever. But no matter how ruthless
she is, I doubt she has the guts to kill. She’s well–respected internationally, and her pride would prevent her from
stooping to my level and risking her reputation. Moreover, it was me… I intentionally lured her here. Did I lure her
here just to kill me? What a joke! If she dares to show up here, she’ll be the one to die! Both of you must die! Your
existence is an eyesore. You both must die!!”
Wendy’s expression was twisted, her madness evident.
Yasmine remained stoic She watched as Wendy ranted and raved before her.
“Chloe is nothing but a weakling masquerading as a tough guy. Does she dare to take my life?”
“She will kill you, Yasmine replied calmly. “She’s my daughter; if I were in her shoes, I’d do the same. You’ve made
too many stupid moves. She might have overlooked your previous transgressions and even tolerated your
presence. But you crossed a line when you involved me. This isn’t just about crossing her boundaries anymore Ms.
Wendy, all this for a man, if you were more open–minded, you could have a fresh start and a lot of hope for your
life. It’s a shame you’ve made such a mess of your life.”
Seeing Wendy descend into such madness evoked sympathy in Yasmine. However, they were no longer children.
Everyone had the ability to discern right from wrong and make choices. The path one walked was one’s own
making.
While she felt sorry for Wendy, she didn’t pity her. Her life was her own, and no one else could interfere. Sympathy
was just that, sympathy.
“No I am successful Wendy laughed triumphantly. “As long as I kill you two, I’ll be more successful than anyone else!
It’s because of your daughter’s existence that I’ve lost so much that was supposed to be mine! Only when she dies
can my life truly begin, free of obstacles”
Yasmine shook her head, laughing softly. “If that thought comforts you, so be it But are you sure that all this noise
outside is just Chloe alone?”
“She brought help, Wendy scoffed. “A handful of people trying to force their way in here. Ridiculous. If we hadn’t
arranged for our contacts at the gate to let them in she wouldn’t have made it this far
Yasmine gave a faint smile is that so?”
Wendy raised an eyebrow, a smug expression on her face. “You should thank me. You and your daughter will be
reunited soon”
Thank a person who is intent on killing us You have a strange sense of humor
Hmph Wendy snorted
Yasmine closed her eyes, clearly uninterested in further conversation with Wendy
The vast factory fell into silence once more. After about ten minutes, the gunfire in the distance gradually subsided.
The look of satisfaction in Wendy’s eyes intensified She was even starting to feel excited Finally, the moment she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad been waiting for was upon her There would no longer be a Chloe in thes world the stupid bitch she despised
bon, the gate was opened again Wendy looked up to see the man who had been sent to negotiate at the gate.
“Why are you back so soon? Did you let them in Are they dead”
Chapter 1661
The man shook his head. “They’re not dead! It seems the boss called ahead, so by the time we got there, they
were already inside. But perhaps the boss didn’t make it clear to the gatekeepers. That woman had a few cars with
her.”
Wendy furrowed her brows. “Seems like she brought quite a few people. Is she planning to go head–to–head with
us?”
You don’t need to worry about that. We saw the chopper of our leader, too. With the leader here, he won’t allow
them to run amok on his turf! If they really want to save this woman, they’ll have to do it covertly. They won’t cause
a scene!”
The leader here was the absolute authority and would not tolerate anyone disrupting the peace on his turf.
Otherwise, it would be a blatant challenge to authority, a provocation to a seasoned hustler. To the Boss, whether it
was dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of them, they were all just insignificant ants, easy to crush with a single
snap.
It was only then that Wendy felt a sense of relief. However, her relief was quickly replaced with confusion. “Why
would the Boss be here at this time?” She questioned, glancing at the clock that read a little past three.
Furthermore, he had arrived almost at the same time as Chloe and the others.
