Chapter 312 ---- After a pause, Lucia added, "I heard from my father that a few days ago, Sean's father, Charles Tann, was taken away by the discipline commission." Thalia asked, "So quickly?" "Holy shit, for real?" Summer exclaimed, delighted. Lucia nodded, "My father told me. It's probably not just a rumor." Summer looked at Thalia. "Your man must have made his move." Lucia agreed. "Must have been him. Sean messed with you and even threatened to...

Lucia didn't finish that sentence, but Thalia and Summer understood. On the boat, Sean had threatened to "destroy" Thalia. Later, Summer discovered through her Spain connections that Sean had planned to have several men repeatedly assault Thalia, leaving her physically broken, and then release videos and photos online. ---- When Summer heard about Sean's vicious plan, despite her issues with Thalia, she couldn't help feeling sympathy and spent hours cursing Sean. "This is so satisfying!" Summer clapped her hands excitedly. "Well done, Asher. Brilliantly played!" Thalia's feelings were complicated. After leaving the cruise, she had specifically researched the Tann family in Spain, learning about Charles Tann's position and Sean's past actions.
Sean deserved no pity, and Charles Tann, who had constantly shielded his son and abetted his crimes, was long overdue for a fall. But given the Tann family's considerable influence, Thalia worried about retaliation against Asher. Charles Tann might be in custody, but he had many "loyal followers" in Spain.
For instance, through corrupt business-government connections, the corporate executives who had colluded with Charles Tann might now see their interests threatened and potentially seek revenge on Asher. ---- Seeing Thalia's worried expression, Lucia asked, "Are you concerned about Asher? Worried someone might retaliate?" Thalia nodded. "Your concern is unnecessary," Lucia said.
"It seems Asher has protected you so well that you don't fully understand him." After a pause, Lucia continued, "Thalia, don't misunderstand-I mean you don't fully grasp Asher's iron-fisted approach and ruthlessness. You don't know how he treats enemies. Once he decides to target the Tann family, he won't spare anyone with shady dealings or vested interests with them. And Asher's influence is far greater than you realize.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou really don't need to worry about him." Despite these reassurances, Thalia couldn't help but worry. "Lucia's right, Thalia. You really shouldn't worry about Asher. The Tann family isn't even in his league. Instead of worrying about him, you should be more concerned about yourself. If those people learn the whole story and realize Asher went after the Tanns because of you, you should be careful.
Targeting you would be much easier than retaliating against Asher." Another strategy like Tom Malfoy's. ---- Can't get to Asher, so go after her instead? Thalia gave a cold laugh. "Let them try. I'm not afraid." Alana stood expressionlessly beside Thalia, like a statue. "Who's this?" Summer finally noticed Alana. Thalia introduced her in a matter-of-fact tone: "My personal bodyguard, Alana." Summer commented, "She looks fierce and badass." Lucia chimed in, "Alana's skills are incredible.
When I was drugged, she took on six men single-handedly and dropped all those creeps." "That impressive?" Summer looked at her with Iver withadmiration. "No wonder you're not afraid-you've got an expert by your side." Thalia replied, "Still, thanks for the warning. I'll bring more security when I go out." "Good idea, just to be safe." Summer then asked, "Do you know what happened to Scarlett ---- Rosol, that woman who was with Sean before?
That's also quite satisfying!" "Ihaven't kept track," Thalia said. "After ershen issued that public apology and paidcompensation for emotional distress, I stopped following her."
