novelxo Chapter 44
An inkling flashed past Isabella's mind as she thought of a way to intimidate Fabian.
Then, Fabian said arrogantly to Isabella, "Oh? Why are you still searching for jobs if you have a capable husband? Plus, what's the point of having bodyguards? It's difficult for you to even speak now, let alone shout for help. Why don't you try calling out for help, then?"
Based on his experience, all it took was one glance to determine that the two beautiful ladies in front of him were still virgins.
Pfft! Husband? It's so obvious that she's lying!
Bang!
Before Fabian could touch Isabella's face, Logan kicked open the locked office door from the outside.
Fabian almost jumped out of his skin at the sound of the loud noise coming from behind him.
Spinning around, he stared at Logan with a petrified look as he asked, "W-Who are you? How did you get here?"
Is he her bodyguard?
His office door had been specially upgraded so that it was thicker and more durable. Normal men could never dent the door with a kick, not to mention wreck it.
However, the spectacle before him now dumbfounded him. Logan had managed to slam open the thickened door with only a kick. Not only that, but he had even managed to utterly destroy the door in the process.
Is he even human?
"I'm the one who is going to deal with you!"
Logan's voice was extremely cold and forbidding. Chills ran down their spines once the people around heard his words.
Fabian could not help but shudder in fear.
After his voice fell, Logan lifted his leg and kicked at Fabian's belly.
In an instant, Fabian's hundred-pound body flew backward like a balloon before he smashed against the wall. Then, he slowly slid to the floor.
With his head tilted to one side, he fell unconscious.
Not bothering to spare Fabian another glance, Logan turned to leave.
After all, he only knew how to protect people. He was not good at communicating with others.
Therefore, he allowed Isabella and Marilyn to recover from the shock and regain their composure themselves.
Besides, the drug Fabian had used would only make them feel weak all over. They would slowly recover after around ten minutes and not suffer any other side effects.
Fifteen minutes after Logan left, Marilyn was the first to regain some strength in her limbs.
She glanced at Isabella and said, "Bella, didn't you say that your contracted hubby was only a poor bloke? How was he able to hire such a powerful bodyguard to secretly protect you? I must say, though, your bodyguard is too aloof! He didn't even address you before he left! How rude!"
Did she take my earlier words to heart? Isabella rolled her eyes at Marilyn and responded, "Nah, I don't have any bodyguards. I was only trying to scare Fabian! Did you really think I was being serious?"
"Why did he rescue us if he's not your bodyguard?"
Marilyn doubted Isabella's words.
By this point, Isabella was also getting back her strength. She weakly blurted out her guess, "I don't know him. Maybe he's one of Mr. Pencroft's enemies. It seems pretty fitting that a man like Mr. Pencroft will have enemies."
Seeing that Isabella did not seem to be lying, Marilyn nodded in agreement with the former's speculation.
They thought Fabian had offended someone who then wanted to settle accounts with him and coincidentally pulled them out of troubled waters.
However, Marilyn could not shake the feeling that the cold bodyguard's voice was familiar, as though she had heard him speak somewhere before.
Marilyn gingerly got up from the ground and looked in the direction of Fabian, who was lying unconscious by the wall. Terrified, she could not help but ask timidly, "Is he dead?"
Isabella did not respond. Standing up from the floor, she shot a worried glance at Fabian and walked toward him.
