Chapter 149
Sally’s mother was instantly shocked and panicked.
She started to struggle vigorously.
It was reasonable for her to struggle. However, her movement had brought trouble to Gavin!
Yes, the person covering Sally’s mother’s mouth was Gavin himself.
And why was Gavin in trouble?
Because…
This woman was still only wearing an apron…
Yes, she had gone into the room earlier, presumably to put on clothes.
However, after experiencing the awkward and embarrassing incident just now, she would surely be covering her face and immediately diving under the blanket to calm herself.
Unexpectedly, before her mood could settle, the power outage occurred.
The sudden blackout made her nervous.
In a high-end hotel’s presidential suite, such issues shouldn’t happen.
It couldn’t be ruled out that someone was intentionally doing this!
Moreover, the mother and daughter had experienced this kind of situation before!
So, she was worried about her daughter’s safety and promptly jumped out of bed.
As a result, this led to her still wearing only an apron.
At this moment, Gavin quickly lowered his voice and whispered in Sally’s mother’s ear.
“Calm down, calm down. I’m your daughter’s friend. I won’t hurt you!”
It was not easy for Gavin.
Gavin couldn’t guarantee that if Sally’s mother continued to struggle and move vigorously, he wouldn’t do anything strange and inappropriate to her.
So, he thought it was necessary to remind her.
Hearing Gavin’s voice, although she didn’t know who her daughter’s friend was or what Gavin’s identity was, she felt slightly reassured and stopped struggling.
Gavin also timely released his hand, creating some distance between him and Sally’s mother.
He had to
Earlier, he had been pressed against the woman’s back and covering her mouth.
Considering she was only wearing an apron, it was necessary to avoid any awkward situations.
He had to be careful.
Otherwise, he would have many strange reactions.
Feeling herself being let go, Sally’s mother turned her head to look at Gavin in the dark.
She asked, “Who are you? Why…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Gavin immediately raised his hand, making a quiet gesture. He then pulled Sally’s mother’s small hand and moved behind the sofa with her.
At this point, Sally’s mother was shocked again, thinking Gavin was going to harm her.
Just as she was about to struggle and scream, the next moment…
“Ding!” There was a light sound.
Sally’s mother saw a small syringe firmly inserted where she had been standing just now.
It was an anesthetic needle!
If Gavin hadn’t pulled her away just now, she would have been stabbed by this needle.
Seeing this scene, Sally’s mother opened her mouth and calmed down.
She turned around and said to Gavin, “Thank you.”
Then, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes..
“The bastards from the Henderson family, when will they stop?”
The Henderson family?
Hearing Sally’s mother’s voice, Gavin raised an eyebrow slightly.
The eldest scion of the Henderson family, Hugh, had already been killed by him. Moreover, the high- level warrior responsible for protecting Hugh’s life was also killed by him.
How could there still be people from the Henderson family in Stanlow?
He then took the thing from the ground. It was a syringe, and it indeed contained an anesthetic.
However, if that needle had really hit Sally’s mother, she would never wake up again in her life.
That anesthetic was specifically designed for dealing with warriors!
It was an item used to harm warriors. So, why would they use such an item to go after Sally and her mother, two ordinary
women? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Obviously, it was meant to cause trouble for him!
Speaking of which, this was the second time today that others had been implicated because of Gavin.
The first time was with the sniper. It almost got Sally harmed.
Now, it was/someone hiding in the dark and almost killing Sally’s mother.
However, Gavin helped Sally resolve the issue with the Henderson family’s people, didn’t he?
So, they were even now!
The Henderson family was Gavin’s enemy, so he would have killed the assassin even if Sally and her mother were not here.
However, as long as Gavin didn’t mention it, Sally and her mother wouldn’t know what actually happened!
Just when Sally’s mother was nervous but still harboring anger, she suddenly felt her shoulder being pulled.
Subsequently, her body was instantly enveloped in a warm and solid embrace.
The two of them rolled on the ground three times.
“Bang!” At this moment, the sofa they had hidden behind exploded in place, sending debris flying.
Gavin once again protected Sally’s mother.
Of course, this was how Sally’s mother perceived it.
In reality, Gavin only wanted to ensure she wouldn’t die. If she died, Sally wouldn’t be able to take him to the Mullen family’s auction.
Meanwhile, Sally’s mother had become dumbfounded.
At this moment, she was lying on the floor with only an apron on. The apron, which had flipped over during their tumble, now lay scattered on the ground.
Her gaze was fixed on the man pressing her down.
In the dim light filtering through the window, Gavin’s resolute, handsome, and charming facial features were vividly outlined in her eyes.
Sally’s mother felt a breath she couldn’t resist rushing into her nasal cavity.
This was the scent of hormones.
Her cute face instantly turned bright red!
Her mesmerizing pupils began to tremble gently.
In this quivering state, her eyes focused solely on Gavin.
In fact, Sally’s mother could clearly hear her rapid heartbeat. It was so fast that she could not suppress it at all.
However, at this moment, Gavin didn’t notice her condition.
He had already locked onto the assassin’s aura.
He realized the assassin was now showing a bit of an assassination style.
The assassin secretly hid his aura and launched sudden attacks in the dark.
If he weren’t completely confident, he definitely wouldn’t attack Gavin.
If Gavin didn’t have absolute strength and keen insight, this assassin might have succeeded long ago.
While Gavin was detecting the assassin’s aura, the bathroom door opened.
Sally, who had just opened the door, was momentarily stunned. She subconsciously shouted, “What’s happening?”
When she went into the bathroom, she didn’t turn on the light, so she had no idea that the power was out.
This scream upon opening the door was truly… seeking death!
Because of her daughter’s exclamation, Sally’s mother finally shifted her attention away from Gavin, anxiously calling out.
“Sally!”
Meanwhile, Gavin had already sensed the shadowy figure and made a move.
The target of that assassin wasn’t anyone else. It was Sally!
Gavin couldn’t let Sally die. If she died, he would have to figure out a way to attend the Mullen family’s auction on his own.
So, he had to move quickly!
Gavin instantly grabbed a cloth on the ground, giving it a powerful swing.
“Bang!” The cloth rapidly wrapped around Sally.
Using the force of this forward motion, she was sent flying, crashing heavily onto another sofa.
Half a second later, a figure holding a sharp blade appeared where Sally had stood before.
The gleaming dagger stabbed in the air.
Realizing that his seemingly inevitable strike had failed, the assassin was shocked and hurriedly tried to dodge.
However, in his ears, Gavin’s calm voice resounded.
“Since you’ve revealed yourself, there’s no need to hide anymore, right?”
This assassin’s hair stood on end as Gavin’s voice came from right beside him!
“Ugh…” A sound escaped him as the knife in his hand fiercely stabbed toward his side. Gavin’s eyes glared down mercilessly.
