The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1493

After saying so, Ernest slowly approached Alex.

Unsure if it was my illusion, I saw a hint of panic in Alex's eyes.

"Forget it. I'm not interested in your stuff anyway. If Simon still wants what he wants, then I advise you not to waste even a single second!"

I could tell that Alex had lost his patience. It was hard to imagine that this was how he, someone who liked taking things slow, looked like when he was anxious.

"Mr. Hodds, I believe this isn't your territory." There were hints of resolution in

Ernest's eyes as though he planned to not comply.

"What gives you the right to bring them here today, then?"

Alex clutched his wheelchair armrest tightly, his knuckles turning white. I felt his rage as though he could explode any second.

He tilted his head, and the man behind him charged ahead. He stood in front of the rest of the black-clad men in the corner.

Two of them walked up next to me, and I quickly got up. I followed them and got behind Alex.

"Why are you so anxious, Mr. Alex? We just invited Mr. and Mrs. Grant over to introduce ourselves to them and get to know each other. Only after we're familiar with each other will Mrs. Grant leave her child to us with peace of mind. Why are you so anxious?"

As Ernest said that, he had already walked up to Alex's wheelchair.

He bent down to the same eye level as Alex, and they both stared at each other.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and stretched it out toward Alex. The latter had no time to dodge.

A split second later, there was a humanskinned mask in Ernest's hand.

The man sitting in the wheelchair was not Alex Hodds.

I felt something far greater than fear. What was going on?

I was right in front of them. How could I not notice that this man was wearing a mask?

In the midst of my anxiety, my mind suddenly flashed back to the surveillance footage I saw in the hospital. Did the person in the footage trick everyone the same way when he kidnapped Munchkin? "Ronny Wescher, you're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you? How dare you come over here pretending to be Mr. Hodds?"

Ronny stood up and pulled out a pistol from his waistband, pinning it against Ernest's forehead and forcing him to back up.

Although the black-clad men around us were afraid, they could no longer sit still when they saw someone pointing a gun at their boss. They each reached out to hold the gun at their waistbands. However, the people standing in front of them were no pushovers either. When they saw what happened, they immediately went forward to press them down, resulting in a stalemate.

The two men beside me also raised their pistols. One stood in front while another wasbehind me. They surrounded me tightly, but I was still afraid.

Ernest immediately raised his hands to surrender, signaling the men around him not to act rashly, but there was not the slightest bit of fear and worry on his face.

"It's okay. We're just here for a chat. Why are you so nervous?"

"We agreed on three days. You breached the contract first. I'm sure you know Mr. Alex's temper. He may be kind, but that doesn't mean he'll tolerate this. You've already overstepped your boundaries." With his gaze and the pistol in his hand, Ronny seemed to be emitting cold air.

However, Ernest only threw his head back and guffawed.

"Old habits die hard, Ronny. You always make everything sound so serious. I was just inviting them over to be my guests. Look how terrified you are."

No one in the room was in the mood to laugh with him.

"Take them away. I won't be entertaining you today."
