Chapter 18 Withdraw All

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Tate was a bit nervous. This was the first time he had seen such an expression on Luis's face. It seemed— Like seeing a ghost? "Hmph." Luis snorted, "Send the order, recall all Harper family guards. Tell them to get back here." "What?" Tate couldn't believe his ears. "Dad, even if Leila did something like that, are you still planning to forgive her?" "Shut up!" Luis angrily shouted, "You know nothing. There are probably others interested in Leila from above. Do you want our Harper family to become criminals?" "I dare not." Tate lowered his head, "Dad, who is it? Who makes you so wary?" "That's none of your business." Luis didn't know for sure, but he had a guess. He looked at Otis, and in his murky eyes, there was more sharpness, making the latter shiver, "Dad..." "Third brother!" Luis waved his hand, "You've raised a good daughter. Although I'm not sure, if it's really him who has eyes on Leila, it would be an honor for our Harper family." "At that time, you'll be the hero of our Harper family." Otis trembled in his heart, "Dad, what are you talking about?" Luis said with a serious face, "If Mr. Stewart personally makes a call, who do you think it is?" Mr. Stewart? Mylo? The head of the Draconia Security Department, Greafank branch. The Draconia Security Department had a unique nature, wielding significant authority. Mylo's level of caution and personal involvement suggested there was likely no one else of such stature in the entire Greafank. Because Mylo was directly under Vetrad's jurisdiction! Luis didn't dare to think further. The others' faces changed drastically, and their eyes showed shock. Apparently, they hadn't expected that behind Leila, there could be such influence. Many distant relatives even envied it. "What's so good about this Leila? Why are there so many people falling for her?" "Could it be some high-ranking official who wants a moment of novelty?" "Probably." "What's there to envy? She might be abandoned in the future." "But these officials are blind. Miss Harper from our Harper family is the one they should be paying attention to." ... The discussions among the people made a woman in a blue dress clench her fists, her face particularly ugly. In her heart, she cursed, "Leila, you're already ruined. Why are there still people pursuing you?" Bang! Luis slammed the table again, "Shut up, no matter who is interested in Leila, it's our Harper family's good fortune. Greafank's leadership has been vacant for some time." "When the new city lord of Greafank arrives, we need to establish connections immediately. This directly relates to the achievements our Harper family can make in Greafank." Luis' ambition was not small. The crowd fell silent again, not daring to disobey. Only Lin Man's face became even more unsightly, "Why? This credit was originally mine. Why is it still Leila's?" "Leila, you're a fallen woman. What qualifications do you have to compete with me for the title of the Harper family's top talent?" Otis was also nervous, "Dad, what about Walter?" "Hmm?" Luis frowned, "Do I need to teach you?" "I dare not!" Otis nodded quickly, "Dad, I understand. I'll arrange it personally." Nicole also echoed, "Dad, rest assured, this guy who relies on women won't have an easy time. Just because Leila gave birth to two children for him doesn't mean he can control our Leila." "We'll quietly take care of him." She sprayed saliva as she spoke, but Luis quickly pulled her back, "Shut up. Do you have the right to speak here?" "I..." Nicole was about to explode, but in front of Luis, she didn't dare to act recklessly and could only leave with Otis. Outside of the Villa! The leader of the guards, unaware of the incident in the Harper family, sneered at Walter, "You useless waste, you've ruined Miss Harper of our Harper family." "Tonight, I will make you understand what it means to be better off dead." He waved his big hand, and the guards behind him stepped forward in unison! As the Harper family's most powerful force, the guards were indeed formidable, but Walter didn't pay them much attention. The guards might be strong, but that was all there was to it. The Harper family had humiliated Leila for many years. Walter would definitely settle this score! The leader of the secret guards was about to give the order when someone rushed up to him, "Leader, cancel the mission tonight." Mission canceled? He frowned, "How could that be?" "I don't know. It's a direct order from the family head." "Could there be some changes?" "Leader, the family head said that if we don't comply, the entire secret guards will be completely replaced." Hiss! He took a sharp breath, and his body couldn't help but tremble. The so-called replacement actually meant— Wiping them all out! What could make Luis so angry? He glared viciously at Walter, "Worthless, you're lucky tonight, but don't think it's over. You, who owes the Harper family, will surely pay with your life." With that said, he turned and left. The secret guards came quickly and left just as quickly. Inside the house! Leila also stared in confusion, "The secret guards left?" Marie was even more puzzled, "Leila, what happened? The Harper family's secret guards are relentless once they're on a mission. How could they leave like this at such a crucial time?" "I..." Leila shook her head, "I don't know, maybe..." She thought of Nightkill! But did Nightkill really have that capability? Even if Nightkill was Walter's friend, did he have the power? She shook her head and walked out of the room. Walter turned to look at Leila, and a hint of deep tenderness emerged in his eyes, "It's okay." This magnetic sentence softened Leila's deep inner world, collided with her, and a previously unknown sense of security bloomed in her heart. Tears welled up instinctively in her beautiful eyes. Six years! In the six years of humiliation and disgrace, apart from Marie, there was no one to confide in. Let alone someone willing to face it together. Now that Walter had returned, she was no longer alone? Was this the feeling of relying on someone? How nice! Leila suddenly felt very relieved, as if, like a rootless duckweed, she found a sense of belonging at this moment! She wanted to say something, but a black Audi rushed in front of her. Looking at the black Audi, Leila felt a bit familiar. Marie, however, covered her mouth and almost exclaimed, "It's him!"
