Chapter 343:
“I did mention your name, but he didn’t care at all. Mr. Sandoval, we need your help,” the man pleaded.
Enraged by the defiance, Soren bellowed, “Who dares to disregard me p>
Ryan, leaning down close to the phone, replied coolly, “It’s me, Ryan Haynes p>
All the color drained from Soren’s face at the mention of Ryan’s name. Voice trembling, he sputtered, “R-Ryan Haynes? CEO of WorldLink?! How on earth do you know Sloane p>
“She’s my woman,” Ryan answered in a low growl, his voice cruel and cold as an ice pick piercing into Soren’s heart.
“So, whoever dares to touch her is courting death. I thought that what I did to Bill and his clan would serve as a warning to everyone, but it seems that none of you learned your lesson p>
Soren’s eyes widened in horror. The Meltons, a once prosperous and influential clan, had suddenly disappeared overnight.
And it was only because Bill Melton had offended Ryan by touching an untouchable woman.
Was that untouchable woman Sloane?! At the thought of this possibility, Soren was too scared to say a word.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected to offend someone as powerful as Ryan Haynes!
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of Sloane—but if she was backed by Ryan, he now couldn’t touch her.
“Mr. Haynes, I swear I won’t do it again! Please forgive me this one time! I’m really sorry—” Soren resorted to obsequiously begging for mercy.
But before he could say anything more, the abrupt dial tone blared in his ear.
Ryan had hung up on him.
Soren’s knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground in a heap, muttering to himself, “It’s over. God, it’s all over. I’m so screwed p>
After hanging up on Soren, Ryan glanced coldly at the men in black present and barked, “Fuck off p>
The men immediately stood up, eager to flee the scene.
But before they could run, Jenessa snapped out of her trance and shouted, “Wait p>
The men in black were terrified of Ryan, so they didn’t dare disobey his woman. They all stopped in their tracks and turned to look at her meekly.
Jenessa’s cold gaze swept across them as she questioned, “Who sent you p>
One of the men in black—the one who seemed to be their leader—waved his hand nervously and explained, “Soren Lee of ModaVista heard that you chose Monica for your collaboration. He didn’t mean any trouble; he just wanted to have a word with you p>
Jenessa sneered incredulously. She didn’t believe for one second that this Soren person didn’t mean to cause her any trouble.
If Soren really wanted to “have a word” with her, then why did the men in black try to fight Ryan off just now? Clearly, the man in black was lying.
But at the mention of Monica’s name, coupled with the fact that these men were working for ModaVista, Jenessa quickly pieced it all together—this incident must’ve had something to do with the case involving Monica’s harassment.
The more Jenessa thought about it, the angrier she became. She took a deep, shuddering breath and said darkly, “Go back and tell Soren it’s none of his business who I choose p>
