Valerie glanced at Reese.

Immediately, he answered.

“This is not something I can decide on my own, it requires negotiation, and Ms. Horton is currently in a dangerous situation. My abilities may not be sufficient, so Mr. Horton should wait patiently for us to send someone more capable to protect Ms. Horton.”

Reese twitched his fingers, feeling a slight numbness and pain.

You were also a daughter of our Horton family…

But he didn’t say this sentence out loud.

“Since you also mentioned it, my daughter is currently in a dangerous situation. She was just rescued and must be very scared right now. However, she trusts you, so I hope you can come to my house to protect her. If one person is not enough, I will go and find more capable bodyguards.”

Valerie’s eyebrows could furrow tightly enough to trap a fly.

She sighed.

“Mr. Horton, this is not something I could decide on my own. If everyone could make their own decisions, the order would be disrupted.”

Reese was speechless and wanted to say something, but Valerie was

the first to speak up and stop him.

“Mr. Horton, I understand your mood. Don’t worry, we will properly convey your concerns to the higher-ups. You don’t need to be overly concerned.”

After saying that, Valerie was about to turn around and leave. She didn’t want to continue the conversation.

“Valerie…”

Valerie was startled and stood frozen in place.

Reese’s eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins, and they were moist as they watched Valerie’s figure disappear.

Not only Valerie was shocked, but also her three sons standing on the side.

“Valerie, I know you hated us, and now that Zoe has been targeted, it’s highly likely that you will be targeted too. In the eyes of outsiders, you still have some connection with us…”

The scene was quiet for a moment, with neither side speaking first. They stared intently at Valerie’s back, waiting to see how she would

react.

“Huh…”

Valerie took a deep breath to calm herself and restore inner peace.

She turned her head and locked eyes with Reese.

The cold, emotionless eyes and the sternly furrowed brow made Reese’s hair stand on end once again.

“Mr. Horton, be cautious with your words. I want to ask you, in what

capacity are you speaking to me right now?”
