Chapter 81

A group ed formidable men marched behind Benjamin Samwel hadn’t expected Benjamin to track him down so quickly, and with such a show of force. Clearly, he’d underestimated him Benjamin had installed a tracking system on Shirley’s phone. He didn’t need to search for her, he knew exactly where she was Regaining his composure, Samuel’s expression softened into a calm smile as he greeted his uninvited guest. “What an unexpected honor, Mr. Barlowood. My humble abode is hardly worthy of hosting someone of your stabate.”

intact, his attention returned to Samuel Histone was sharp and unyielding. “You’re Benjamin’s cold gaze flicked to Shirley, bying unconscious on the sofa. After confirming her clothes were in right. Your shabby little place isn’t worth my time. I’m here to take my girlfriend back.”

Benjamin fiddled with the ring on his finger and smirked.

“If you’re short on cash, just say the word. For the sake of your help earlier tonight, I’d be generous enough to offer some assistance.“”

Samuel chuckded lightly, unbothered. “How kind of you, Mr. Blackwood. But I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Who exactly are you claiming as yours?”

Benjamin’s gare darkened. “Don’t play dumb. It’s unbecoming.”

The atmosphere turned tense. Benjamin ignored Samuel and strode toward Shirley Samuel stepped forward, blocking his path. If you want to take het, fine, but only if she wakes up and says she’s willing to go with you. Until then, she stays.”

His demand sounded reasonable, but Samuel didn’t know one crucial detad. Tenjamin and Shirley were already married Benjamin didn’t need anyone’s permission to take his wife Benjamin said demandingly, “You don’t get to decide that.”

At his words, the group of bodyguards surrounded Samuel.

Benjamin’s icy gaze locked onto him. “If you value keeping your other leg intact, I suggest you don’t resist.”

Without another word, Benjamin brushed past Samuel and bent down to pick Shirley up A dangerous glint Bashed in Samuel’s eyes. He raised his hand and aimed a strike at Benjamin’s back Benjamin dodged him easily, catching Samuel’s wrist in one hand while delivering a powerful blow to his underarm with the other.

Samuel retaliated by driving his knee toward Benjamin’s abo sen, but Benjamin blocked it with his elbow and wiltly countered with a punch to Samuel’s stomach suel let out a muffled groan as the force of the punch sent him stumbling backward. He crashed into the coffee table, toppling over and landing hard on the floor It all happened so quickly that it was over before anyone could fully register what had unfolded.

By the time Samuel scrambled to his feet, Benjamin was already carrying Shirley toward the door. Samuel tried to follow, but Benjamin’s bodyguards formed a wall around arbay Benjamin’s men were highly trained, leaving Samuel no choice but to ut to watch helplessly as Shitley was taken away As they left, one of the bodyguards grabbed Shirley’s bag. Her phone, which had fallen to the door, was left behind.

Samuel stood frozen, his face dirk as a storm cloud, watching the intruders walk out as boldy as they had entered.

Moments later, two of his security guards, buttered and braised, staggered inside. They sighed in relief upon seeing that Samuel was unharmed.

Samuel’s gaze fell on their swollen, blooded faces. The injuries felt like a blow to his own pride -a strike against his dignity as a man.

Fage boiled over. With a furious kick, he sent the soda Dying across the room.

He quickly called Marley and Wyatt “Benjamin is not getting away with Shirley tonight!”
