Chapter 627
What was she doing there?
Theodore had so many unanswered questions in his mind that filled him with doubt and anxiety.
Suddenly, he ordered in a low voice, “Hurry up!” ©
Horace glanced at the dashboard, which showed a speed already well above the limits.
However, he dared not argue and stepped on the gas pedal with all his might.
At this same moment, the car suddenly made a sharp turn, and it slid sideways.
A screeching sound was heard and the wheels left a long mark on the road.
When the car tured sharply just now, Theodore quickly grabbed the handle to stabilize his body.
Nolan who was in the passenger seat didn’t react in time and his head hit the windshield hard.
Theodore looked outside and saw a dozen black cars that had appeared from nowhere and surrounded them.
Dozen headlights cut through the night, hitting Nolan full in the face.
With a shake of his head, he looked up to see a multitude of men in black pouring out of the cars around him, each one holding a black gun.
Guns! ©
Nolan found his voice stuck in his throat, terror rooting him to the spot.
All he could do was stare, his eyes wide, his face drained of color, his legs trembling with fear.
“Boss, should I call in some help?” Horace’s voice cut through the tension.
Unlike Nolan, Horace stayed cool under pressure.
His hand remained on the steering wheel, prepared for any sudden move.
His calmness came from having faced such situations before.
Theodore just shook his head.
“No.
”
He got out of the car, standing tall amidst the menacing crowd.
Bathed in the glare of the headlights, his towering figure seemed even more menacing.
His gaze was cold, searching until it rested on one particular car.
A dark look crossed his face.
“Bold enough to cause trouble in Eleymond, but too chicken to face me?” Theodore’s voice echoed, “Zayden.
” ©
His voice, calm yet firm, hung in the silence, which was soon broken by a chuckle from the black car, the sound joined by mocking laughter.
“Is that you, Theodore? Been a while, hasn’t it?”
Zayden’s voice carried an undertone of amusement.
He got out of his car, dressed in a snazzy suit that spoke volumes about his audacious personality.
His features were somewhat similar to Theodore’s but his easy, playful smile set them apart.
His vibe was distinctly different.

Theodore’s handsome face could have given a bunch of movie stars a run for their money.
But sadly, he wasn’t one to smile much.
Zayden, hands in his pockets, casually approached Theodore.
“Long time no see, Theodore.
I was so tied up that I couldn’t make it to your wedding.
As your brother, that weighs on me.
So, I thought I’d drop by Eleymond and pay a visit to the famed sister-in-law of mine.

Asmirk played on his lips as he gave Theodore an up and down look.
“Look at you, finally out of that wheelchair.
For a moment, I thought you were starting to enjoy the underdog life, planning on staying wheelchair-bound forever.
”
His gaze shifted towards the car behind Theodore.
“The Andersons are merely small-time players.
Want revenge? Just give the Fredrick family the go-ahead, and the Andersons will vanish from Eleymond.
Why go out of your way to make things difficult, Theodore?”
