Chapter 241

The next morning.

After taking Bella to her office, Tristan did not head straight to his own. Instead, the car sped away from the business street and left the city.

Almost an hour’s drive on the highway towards the city border, the car finally left the road.

Later, the car passed through the empty two-lane street.

Houses or buildings around the road were barely visible, and only a few cars passed.

After driving for two miles, the car made another turn and left the paved road.

The location was extremely remote, and there were no other cars except for Tristan’s car.

Before long,

The car passed through a large gate guarded by several well-built men. After passing through the gate, the car went back onto a road lined with tall and dense trees.

Several minutes passed p>

Finally, the car stopped in front of a simple-looking red brick house. The building looked elongated and had only one level. A black SUV was parked in front of the house.

Tristan immediately stepped out of the car. Reid, who appeared behind the brown wooden door, approached and greeted him politely.

“Sir, welcome p>

Reid bowed slightly towards Tristan, to which Tristan responded with a slight nod. Then he glanced somewhat at Dylan behind Tristan to flash his small smile before he continued his words.

“Please come in, sir… those people are already waiting downstairs p>

He gestured to Tristan to enter first before he followed behind him.

Tristan, followed by Dylan and Reid, walked towards the rear of the house, making their way to the elevator located in the corner.

Shortly after, the elevator descended, and after a few seconds, the doors opened, revealing a bright corridor with white walls and concrete floors.

The corridor was flanked by black doors facing each other, like passing through a corridor in a hotel.

“Sir, will you meet Laura Kiels’ manager or the gangsters?” Reid asked.

“I need to meet the gangsters!” Tristan answered in a low voice, but Dylan and Reid, who were walking behind him, could hear the anger in his tone.

“Their room, at the end, 101 Reid said as he stepped up in front of Tristan and opened the door for him after entering various passwords and fingerprints. The iron door creaking slowly sounded as the door opened, and the light automatically turned on.

The gray-painted windowless room was not very big. Still, it was spacious enough to accommodate seven men lying on the floor in terrible condition. The sound of the door creaking open made all of them turn toward the door.

Their eyes widened in surprise when they saw the figure of the tall man they usually saw on the news, Tristan Sinclair, appear before them.

Tristan, with his deadpan expression, entered the room. He saw that their condition was still the same as he had seen yesterday in the park. The difference was that a few of them had basic bandages to stop the bleeding.

He stopped right in the middle of the room, a few meters away from the seven men who were now staring at him in shock. He ignored them as he turned to Reid beside him.

“Which one attacked my wife p>

Tristan’s low voice was clear enough for the seven men on the floor, who immediately made small sounds as if they were cursing in their hearts to get the answer that had been bothering them all night.

They talked about why this man had appeared in the park!? Now, they knew that their target was Tristan Sinclair’s wife.

“Those four Reid pointed to the right side of the room.

“Drag them here!” Tristan said coldly, looking at the four men now knee and staring at him in fear. He would not forgive people who would hurt his wife, even if it was only in their minds.

Reid narrowed his eyes at the four men in the corner. “All of you he said coldly. “Come here yourselves, or I will drag you by force. You choose p>

The four men immediately dragged their bodies closer to Tristan.

“Mr. Sinclair, please forgive us. Give us your mercy, please, sir.” A hoarse and low voice came from one of the men, who was now three steps away from Tristan.

“Yes, sir… Please, please don’t kill us p>

“I will do anything for you, sir… If you let us live p>

“I beg you, sir, spare our lives p>

Reid hissed in annoyance, listening to their stupid pleas.

“One more word from your dirty mouths, and I’ll break the rest of your bodies!” Reid warned them sternly.

Instantly, their pleading disappeared.

The room fell silent again, but their worried expressions were still clearly visible in their eyes.

They all knelt on the ground, holding onto the nameless pain that still tortured their minds and bodies now. But they didn’t dare make a sound. They all wait in fear for Tristan to speak.

“You guys want to hurt my wife?” Tristan said in a cold tone that seemed to lower the temperature around him, causing all the men on the floor to feel their blood run cold.

“Sir, we didn’t know the madam was your wife,” the leader of the gangsters answered him immediately. “If I know, I will not accept this job p>

“That’s right, sir. What my leader said was true p>

“Yes, sir, we wouldn’t have taken this job if our employer had informed us about it. But there was no such information about our target p>

“True, true… We would have refused if we knew she was your wife p>

“Please forgive us, sir…we beg you The man’s voice trembles in fear.

Tristan pretended to scratch his ear with his index finger as if he didn’t like hearing them talk so much.

Instantly, the four men pressed their lips again, afraid to speak. They froze when they saw Tristan’s displeased expression.

After a few seconds, Tristan spoke again, “If you guys hadn’t done bad things, you wouldn’t have accepted this job, right?” his cold gaze returned to their stare.

The four men nodded with their mouths pressed tightly, not daring to make a sound.
