Eugene arrived at the hotel Azalea stayed in. When he entered the room, he saw a short- haired woman in a black jacket. Her eyes were sharp, and she looked skillful.
When the woman saw Eugene, she stood up and approached him. “Mr. Nolan.” “Shannon?” Eugene looked at her.
“Yes.”
“Are you clear with the mission?”
“Yes,” replied Shannon. Eugene hummed in response and said, “Follow me.” Then, the duo headed straight to Azalea’s room on the third floor. They knocked on the door multiple times, but no one answered. When Shannon saw a hotel staff member passing by, she asked, “Hello, do you know where the guest in this room went?”
“I’m not sure. However, you guys can check out the dining room since now it’s lunchtime,” the staff replied.
Shannon thanked the hotel staff and looked at Eugene. When Eugene met her gaze, he turned around and headed to the dining hall. The dining hall, too, was on the third floor but in the innermost part.
Before they entered the dining hall, they could hear a man talking. “What’s wrong? Are you going to disrespect Wryn? We are just asking you to have breakfast with him. Can’t you do that? Don’t tell me you are a porcelain doll.”
“Let go of me. Don’t you dare put your filthy hands on me.” Azalea’s voice sounded. Then, a slap was heard, and the man roared. “F*ck you! Don’t think so highly of yourself. Do you know who Wryn is?”
Eugene had a grim expression when he heard the commotion inside. Then, he quickened his pace and entered the place.
At this moment, no one was in the dining hall. The man threw Azalea on the table, and the tableware was all swept onto the floor.
“For f*ck sake! You deserved it!” As soon as the man spoke, he was kicked in the stomach. The force was so strong that he flew away.
“Are you sick of living?” Eugene had a grim expression as he spoke in an icy voice. In that split second, Azalea got off the table and threw herself into his embrace. “Eugene…”
Eugene didn’t expect her to do such a thing and caught her in his arms. When he returned to his senses, he subconsciously pushed her away and asked, “Are you alright?”
However, Azalea was only sobbing. She shook her head and said nothing. Eugene had a cold expression as he ordered Shannon. “Bring him to me.”
“Yes, Mr. Nolan.” Shannon hummed in response. Then, she went over and dragged the man up. At this moment, the man realized what was happening. He quickly apologized, “I’m sorry for being ignorant. I didn’t mean to hurt her. Please, spare my life.” As the man spoke, he slapped himself across the face harshly.
“Forget it. I’m fine. You don’t have to do this because of him.” Azalea tugged on Eugene’s sleeve. However, Eugene ignored her and said bitterly, “You don’t have to feel pity for him. Some people don’t deserve to live.”
Azalea tugged on him again. “He has already admitted his mistake. Let’s just forgive him.” Eugene glanced at her before waving his hand toward Shannon, signaling her to let go of the man. “Get lost. I never want to see you appear in front of me again.” Then, the man quickly scrambled away..
After that, Eugene looked at Azalea and pointed at Shannon. “This is Shannon. She will be in charge of your safety from now on. If you need anything, just tell her.”
Hearing his words, Azalea furrowed her eyebrow and asked carefully, “Am I bothering you, Eugene?” “No. It’s just that Shannon is skilled in martial arts. I think it’s better for her to be by your side,” replied Eugene.
“I see. Thank you, Eugene. I’m fine. Today is just an accident.” Azalea finally smiled. Eugene hummed in response. “I have to be responsible for your safety since you are here. Don’t overthink. Say, aren’t you going to the hospital to check on your leg? Let’s go.”
Azalea looked him in the eyes and nodded with a smile. Then, they went to the hospital. Shannon was there the whole time, and she would be in charge of supporting Azalea or accompanying her. However, even so, there was still news secretly spreading out.
