Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 841

Expressionless and a hint of coldness in Vincent's eyes, he proposed, "I'll pay you to teach some people a lesson, and each person for one million dollars. Are you interested?"

Everyone in the house was shocked.

No one had expected that he would suddenly propose a deal with the gangsters.

And he even offered such a high price!

Did he have to spend so much money just to teach some people a lesson?

He must have borne a deep grudge against these people.

Moreover, he said he wanted them to teach a few people a lesson. If one person was worth one million, the gangster would make a d*mn lot of money out of this!

Bob and his men exchanged skeptical glances. They couldn't believe him, but at the same time, they couldn't resist the temptation.

After all, the man who made such proposal didn't seem like a poor man.

Anxious, Lorenzo growled, "You can make a deal with them all you want, but help me pay my debt first. Elaine, don't just stand there! Say something!"

Elaine ignored her father though.

Upon getting such a reaction from her, he stomped angrily.

After that, Mrs. Jacob tugged Elaine's hand and barked, "You'd better tell your friend to pay dad's debt, or we'll go down together!"

Shaking off her mother's hand annoyingly, Elaine huffed, "It's your debt, not mine. Why should I go down with you?!"

"You..."

If Elaine had dared to talk back to her like this in the past, Mrs. Jacob would have slapped her already, but she couldn't do so today. She had to suck up to her.

She would never have imagined that she would beg Elaine one day!

Annoyed and frustrated, she gritted her teeth but there was nothing else she could do.

On the other hand, Bob seemed to be interested in Vincent's deal, so he smiled, revealing his yellow teeth, and said, "Buddy, you look like a gentleman, so I'm sure you've never beat someone up before. Don't worry, if you pay us well, well help you to do the job perfectly."

Vincent frowned in disgust and took two steps back, wearing a repulsive expression.

Upon seeing his reaction, Elaine lowered her head and chuckled. The germophobe Vincent disliked Bob getting too close to him."

However, Bob took his cue as a back down, so he snorted, "Hey, are you joking with us? Since you've already stated your deal, it must go on whether you like it or not!"

Then, they donned fearsome and ruthless expressions to intimidate them.

Elaine's family was afraid of these thugs, so they didn't dare to make any sound.

She frowned and was a bit worried too for Vincent was alone to fight these many people.

After all, they were outnumbered.

Bob signaled one of his men, who then rolled up his sleeves and charged towards Elaine. "Hey, come with me. Bob and your boyfriend have something to discuss..."

Afraid, Elaine took a step back.

As the man approached her with a sly grin, in a blink of an eye, he flew towards the wall with a loud bang and landed on the floor motionless.

Shocked at first, Bob then cursed out loud, "F*ck!"

A few men charged at Vincent indignantly.

Without exception, they were all kicked out.

Holding Elaine's hand, Vincent stood in the corner with no expression on his face, but it made people shudder.

Most of Bob's men were beaten to a pulp and lying on the floor pathetically.

The air was filled with the rustic stench of blood.

Everyone including Elaine were shocked by what they saw.

Where did these people come from?

Had they been following them all the time? Why didn't she didn't notice them at all?

The men who beat Bob's men with just a few simple moves were two shadows- like men in black who moved swiftly and silently.

Where did they come from?

Zoe had never seen such a bloody scene before, so she shrieked in extreme fear.

The two men in black walked to the front of Vincent and reported respectfully, "Mr. Bradbury, it's done."

The only people who were still standing were Bob, Frankie, and the man who charged at Elaine earlier.

The other lay on the floor motionless.

Raising his chin at one of the men, Vincent said, "Invite him to sit on the sofa."

He meant the man who wanted to charge towards Elaine.

When the man saw the man in black walking towards him, he was shaking all over.

Silently, he pulled him onto the sofa and pressed his shoulder. "Don't move."

Shuddering in fear, the man sat as he was told.

To put it bluntly, they were just a group of lowly gangsters who instantly became a wuss when they were facing the truly ruthless people. Meanwhile, Zoe and her parents were cowering in the corner quietly.

They looked at the well-dressed man in horror.

As Vincent came to the sofa, he lowered his head and grinned. "Remember, don't touch someone you shouldn't, okay?"

The man nodded repeatedly. "O-Okay..."

Looking at his right hand, Vincent huffed, "Did you try to touch her with this hand?"

The man trembled in great fear. "1-1 didn't..."

"I'll give you two choices. Either you break that hand yourself, or I'll let my man to do it for you."

"Bob, help!" the man shrieked.

Swallowing in terror, Bob blurted, "Uh, you don't have to do this. He didn't touch her, he just..."

Before he could finish, he looked away dejectedly because despite Vincent's calm gaze as he stared at him, he looked very intimidating.

The man howled, "Bob, you have to help me!"

Bob acted as if he didn't hear anything.

Panicked, the man started to run, but he was quickly caught by one of the men in black.

Chuckling, Vincent walked over and extended his hand.

Another man in black produced a knife from his waist.

Taking the sharp knife from him, Vincent squatted down.

The man in black stepped on the wailing man's arm, preventing him from struggling.

Without batting an eye on him, Vincent stabbed right into the man's forearm.

"Ah!"

A tragic scream echoed across the house.

After that, Vincent stood up, threw away the knife in his hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hand. "Take him away."

Without a word, the man in black dragged the man away. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Elaine was rooted to the spot and her fingers were trembling.

Her sister and parents were as quiet as the church mouses.

Not to mention how shocked and frightened Bob and his men were.

As Vincent went to Bob, he smiled and said, "Now, let's talk about the deal I'm talking about."

Nodding vigorously, Bob blurted, "Sure! Tell me!"

"I'll give you three million to make sure nothing happen to these people for the next twenty-one years," Vincent said as he pointed to Zoe and her parents.

No one had thought that he would make such a term.

Zoe, Lorenzo, and his wife felt as if they had finally returned to normal after going through a misery.

Joy was written all over their faces.

Elaine was surprised of what she heard as she couldn't believe that Vincent would say something like that.

After hearing the term of the deal, Bob grinned from ear to ear. "No problem! I'll make sure they're safe!" "I didn't say to protect them," With a faint smile and cold glare, Vincent said with a hint of irony. "From today on, you can come to harass them all you want with one condition — leave them no peace. If they're sick, pay for their medical bills to cure them, and then you can continue to torture them. But remember, you can't kill them. You have to make sure they live for 21 years and you have to torture them for that long. Do you understand?"
