Chapter 1073
A Life Debt Repaid
Having received his orders, Doug promptly brought two bodyguards with him and charged straight toward Nanaâs room, reaching for the doorknob right away without any intention to knock.
However, it was locked from the inside.
Ms. Lynd,â Doug said loudly and sternly. âOpen the door. We have something important to do and must get in there!â
There was no response.
âOpen the door, or Iâll kick it down,â Doug growled.
âI canât right now,â Nana finally said.
âSorry about this!â
Doug completely refused to listen to Nana, and at his word, one of the bodyguards strode up and kicked the door open.
âHey!â Nana shrieked inside the room as she tightened her fingers over her blanket, revealing her bare shoulders.
It was enough skin to show that she was not dressed.
âWhat the hell?! What are you doing in my room?!â
Doug, however, was unmoved and barked at the bodyguards, âSearch the room!â
âDonât you dare!â Nana snapped.
However, the bodyguards went to work-they only obeyed Doug and naturally did not care how Nana was trying to stop them.
âHow dare you do this to me?! Iâll tell Grandma to fire you!â Nana snapped at Doug.
âThis is of vital importance, so please cooperate, Ms. Lynd. If you take offense to my conduct, you may punish me however you see fit,â Doug replied, respectful but even sterner than before now.

Doug was staring at it for a moment, and Nana noticed that.
Her face fell. âDonât you dare!â
âWe wonât do anything if you hand Mr. Lynch over to us⦠but if you insist on sheltering him, you canât blame us for this!â
âHeâs not here! I have no idea where he went!â Nana snapped, utterly furious. âIf you do anything to me, Iâll have you killed!â
Nonetheless, Doug barked, âItâs not our fault since you refuse to cooperate. Go!â
Nanaâs face turned pale, and her fingers clenched on her blanket as she shuddered and growled threateningly, âHow dare you, Doug!â
However, the bodyguards had strode up to Nana as Doug looked on and pried her blanket off, exposing her naked form right then.
And she was the only person under the blanket.
âAre you done?!â Nana shrieked, feeling murderous right then.
Doug blinked for a moment and quickly turned away.
â Apologies,â he said and barked at the bodyguards, âKeep searching!â
âYes, sir,â they replied.
As they headed for the door, Nana snapped hysterically, âShut the door!â
Doug did so as he left.
