bang was heard, everyone could hear the blood curdling screams of that ruffian.
However, as soon as everyone opened their eyes, all they could see was how Dianne appeared in front
of that man. It seemed that the man’s arm was completely broken and the gun was in Dianne’s hands.
Not a single shred of emotion could be seen from Dianne’s face when she did all of that. She glared at
the man before pulling the trigger repeatedly as deafening waves of gunshots could be heard.
However, not a single bullet struck the man’s vital organs. Dianne had decided to give him a slow and
painful death since he intended to kill Skylar’s father.
So, the man’s arms and knees were all completely soaked in blood as he screamed in agony before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcollapsing on the ground.
He could seemingly feel his life slowly draining away from his body as his blood trickled out from his
wounds. In a desperate attempt to live, he screamed, “Save me… Please save me… Hurry…”
Nicholas had fought tooth and nail to be spared, so it would be impossible for him to care about the
man’s life. So, he took a quick glance at the man’s goons and when they noticed Dianne’s glare, they
retreated in fear as they lost all will to fight.
Everything happened way too quickly. However, Skylar never looked back once while all of this took
place. In all honesty, the man would not even be able to hurt him even without Dianne’s intervention.
Since Dianne had to stay behind to deal with the man’s goons, Skylar drove Nathaniel back home.
However, Nathaniel wanted Skylar to stop by a nearby clinic to treat his wounds first before heading
back home.
Although Skylar had already treated his wounds earlier and he was pretty much fine, there were still
some blood stains on his face. He did not want Winona to find out about him getting assaulted.
Since Skylar knew that he was concerned about getting nagged on, he nodded and brought him to the
clinic immediately. They drove back home as soon as the wound was treated.
However, as soon as they arrived at their mansion, they noticed a middle aged lady with Winona. That
was their old neighbor, Clarrisa.
Apparently, Angelica had hired a pickpocket to steal a ruby necklace from Naomi because she wanted
it. However, since Angelica never brought it up, Winona had no idea about the apparent theft. Since
Clarrisa and Angelica had moved into the same neighborhood, Winona would still greet them whenever

“Why is mom talking to that woman? Let me call her back home,” said Skylar with a frown.
“I think she’s just worried about me, so she couldn’t help herself from talking to Clarrisa,” Nathaniel
replied.
Skylar nodded and parked the car in front of the women.
Winona was delighted to see Nathaniel return unscathed with Skylar as she said, “Oh, Skylar, you’re
finally back! Those people didn’t hurt you guys, right? Clarrisa was telling me earlier that the developer
was from the Wexler family and has connections everywhere. She told me that they would send
anyone to the hospital if they stopped their project. I mean, we already have a place to live, so your dad
shouldn’t even take part in the protest. We can’t afford to offend Mr. Wexler.”
However, before Skylar could say anything, Clarrisa interjected smugly, “Protest? Oh, that would be
pointless. I mean, I don’t want to brag, but if you make me happy, I’ll put in a good word for you to my
son-in-law. I’ll have him talk to Mr. Wexler and he’ll definitely be able to compensate you at least thirty
to fifty thousand dollars!”
