The bodyguards were stunned .
Who’s kidnapping who here ?
Without hesitation , the bodyguard scrambled into the driver’s seat .
For some reason , the bodyguard on the ground p
his teeth against the pain , scrambled up , and limped hurriedly toward the front passenger seat
his movements frantic and unsteady .
The bodyguard with the broken arm was visibly terrified , not daring to even approach the back seat .
“ Stop wasting time ! ” Aria snapped .
He had no choice but to obediently get in the car .
As the car started , the bodyguard in the front passengers
r seat stealthily pulled out his phone , his fingers trembling slightly as he attempted to send a message to Isaac .
He slowly lifted his head , only to suddenly lock eyes s with
Aris
reflection in the rearview mirror .
A faint smirk played on Aria’s lips as she drawled , “ Going to make a call ? ”
The bodyguard was so startled that his phone nearly slipped from his grasp . He nodded frantically and startmered , “ Y … yes , yes ! ”
Aria fixed him with a cool stare . “ What are you planning to say ? ”
“ Should we … should we say we’ve caught you ? ” the bodyguard stammered nervously .
Aria didn’t respond , which counted as tacit approval .
With fingers shaking uncontrollably , the bodyguard stammered into the phone , “ Mr. Shaw … we’ve got her . ”
He hung up in a panic the moment he finished speaking .
Aria arched an eyebrow . “ Nicely done . ”
The bodyguard on the left was practically glued to the car door , not daring to even glance in her direction .
Suddenly , Aria grabbed his arm . He gasped , eyes wide with terror .
With a sharp twist , she snapped his dislocated arm back into place .
The man had been drenched in cold sweat from the pain . Once his arm was set back , astonishment flooded his eyes . After a long pause , he finally choked out , “ Th … thank you . ”
Soon , they arrived at the bar .
Aria pushed open the car door , scanned the area , and asked coolly , “ This is the place ? ”
The three bodyguards hastily led the way , nodding frantically . “ Yes , right this way . ”
Aria stepped inside and immediately spotted the old man lounging on the sofa . “ What do you want with me ? ”
Isaac fixed her with a beady – eyed stare , his gaze radiating icy malice . “ No wonder that brat took a liking to you . You’ve got the looks , I’ll give you that . ”
He commanded icily , “ Contact Owen . ”

In that Instant , Ana realized who he was
This man was Isaac .
Aria finally relaxed completely . He would be easy to handle .
Without waiting for an invitation , Aria dragged a chair over and sat down like she owned the place , her expression utterly relaxed .
Seeing Aria’s casual posture , the woman frowned and complained to Isaac , “ She’s showing you no respect at all ! ”
Isaac’s target wasn’t her to begin with , so he didn’t pay it much mind and casually waved his hand , saying , “ Let her be .”
The woman cooed in a sickly sweet voice , “ Mr. Shaw … ”
Aria let out a derisive snort . “ Pushing sixty and still acting all cutesy ? Maybe your Mr. Shaw doesn’t mind , but I sure as hell do , it’s downright disgusting
The woman’s expression hardened in an instant . She sprang to her feet , jabbing a finger at Aria , on the verge of lashing out .
“ Sit down ! ” Isaac barked .
The woman immediately sat down meekly , not daring to utter another word .
Isaac fixed Aria with a sinister smirk . “ You’ve got guts , girl . Just the way I like it .”
Aria fixed them with an icy stare . “ Don’t make me sick , or I’ll send you right back where you came from .”
Suddenly , a sharp crack shattered the tense silence .
Isaac crushed the glass in his hand , shards scattering across the table .
A flicker of despair flashed in the three bodyguards ‘ eyes . If a fight broke out and they didn’t step in , would the boss strangle them to death ?
[ Aria is here . Come to Kanit City if you want to save her . Isaac . ]
Owen’s expression changed abruptly ; his first reaction was disbelief .
But he knew this number better than anyone else .
Owen immediately booked the soonest ticket , strode out , and called Aria .
Aria’s phone buzzed in her pocket .
Isaac’s piercing gaze remained locked on Aria . When he heard the faint buzzing from her pocket , he whipped his head toward the three bodyguards and , his voice dripping with menace , demanded , “ You didn’t confiscate her phone ? ”
