Chapter 417
“Me, I mean we’re out of this business from now on, never to be involved in this sort of thing again!” The guy was so terrified that tears streamed down his face. Panicked, he forgot his dignity and knelt down to beg, “Please, have mercy and let us go!”
Romeo sneered, “You should be grateful she’s here.”
Everyone shivered in fear. Did Romeo mean that if it weren’t for the girl’s presence, he would have killed them all to avoid scaring her?
Who was this girl? Some rich family’s darling daughter?
If they had known, they would have kidnapped her instead! Romeo was too hard to deal with! A girl would have been an easier target. This was what the assassins were thinking.
Romeo stood up, pulled out his phone and called Carl, “Need you to come over and handle something.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed someone trying to sneak away.
“Who said you could move?”
The guy was so scared he nearly lost his soul. He quickly lay back down, shivering uncontrollably.
Only then did Romeo walk over to Arabella and hold her hand, gently saying, “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”
He looked her over, “Are you hurt?”
Arabella shook her head.
Once he was sure she wasn’t injured, Romeo scooped her up in his arms, his gaze falling on the people on the ground, “Stay down, all of you.”
If he found anyone missing later, everyone else could forget about living!
The assassins had no words. They wanted to escape but couldn’t move. Romeo had been too forceful earlier, and several of them had broken ribs, and many parts of their bodies were injured.
Every little movement was agonizing. How could they run away?
Arabella was carried out of the secret room by Romeo. She whispered, “Put me down. I can walk.”
“It’s dark here. If you fall, I’ll be devastated.”
“I’ll be careful.” She wasn’t blind. She could walk this little distance even with her eyes closed!
Romeo was treating her like a child.
“What if there’s more danger?” Romeo carried her step by step. Just behave. Once we’re out, I’ll put you down.”
Arabella looked up at his chiselled jaw, “You weren’t hurt, were you?”
“Are you worried about me?” Romeo grinned, “I wish I got hurt a bit. That way, you’d have to care for my wounds and worry about me.”
Arabella denied it, “I couldn’t care less about you.”.
“Even if hurt, I can’t earn your concern?” Romeo rubbed his face against hers, “You naughty girl.”
Why was it so hard to earn her attention?
Romeo carried her out of the haunted house. Carl followed closely and brought people over.
“Mr. McMillian, are you and Ms. Bella okay?”
“We’re fine.”
“That’s good.” Carl breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, there was no major incident!
He quickly took his people inside to clean up.”
Meanwhile, the amusement park manager, the head of security in the area, and other senior executives hurried over and kept bowing and apologizing.
“Mr. Romeo, I failed to notice people posing as a staff trying to attack you. I’m truly sorry, and this is completely my fault.”
“I’m so glad you’re okay! If anything had happened to you here, I wouldn’t be able to apologize even if I died!”
“Mr. Romeo, I admit my negligence. I must take responsibility for the security issues here!”
Romeo glanced at them coldly, saying indifferently, “I know.”
Those two executives and the people following them were scared. They kept their heads down, afraid of Romeo’s anger.
What should they do? Mr. Romeo and his girlfriend were nearly in danger, and their apologies seemed to do no good!
