Ken figured heâd better go, maybe they really were interested in his daughter Looking at her again, his daughter was actually really pretty, if only he hadnât hit her so hard earlier and her face wasnât all swollen.
Half an hour later The McMillan familyâs car pulled up in front of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts.
Mrs. Frost was kind of freaked out and clutched her husbandâs clothes tightly âThis place looks deserted Is this where weâre meeting? Iâve got a bad feeling about thisâ
âWhat do you know?â Ken snapped at her, shrugging off her hand. âStop wrinkling my clothes; I need to look sharp when we meet Mr. McMillan!â âLetâs just go back.â
âYou women are just too emotional!â Ken looked ahead and said, âSometimes men need a little thrill!
You wouldnât understand!â
Myra couldnât wait to get out of the car.
On the way, she had purposely put on some youthful makeup.
Feeling confident, she was sure she could attract Mr. McMillan. Just before entering the warehouse, she even purposely showed off a little shoulder.
Ken gave his wife a look, as if to say, Even their daughter was better at this than her!
Once inside the warehouse, they found the place empty except for Romeo sitting on a chair with Carl standing beside him.
The light coming in through the window made the place feel a bit eerie.
âMr. McMillan, you have to help me.â Myra knelt before Romeo, crying her heart out: âIâve done some terrible things, and itâs affected my family. Iâll do anything you ask if youâll help me!â
âOh?â The corner of Romeoâs mouth curled into a cold smirk. âAnything?â
Thinking Romeo was really interested in her, Myra quickly nodded, âYes, Iâll do whatever you ask, I promise.â
Ken, bowing slightly, looked both respectful and fearful. âI havenât done a good job raising my daughter;
I hope Mr. McMillan can help discipline her.â
If Romeo wanted to take care of things here, that would be perfect. Once itâs done, not only could he keep his wealth, but his daughter could also climb up the social Tadder.
Winâwin!
Romeo gestured, and Carl took out a knife, tossing it in front of Myra.
Seeing the knife, all three members of the Cooper family froze, not understanding what was happening.
Was Romeo looking for some thrills?
âWhichever hand harmed her, use that hand to pay.â Romeoâs eyes were icy.
They finally realized that the âherâ he referred to was Arabella!
Was Romeo here to stand up for Arabella?
âMr. McMillan.â Ken was shaking all over. âMs. Bella is yours?â
Romeo calmly stated, âShe is my fiancée.â
Ken was struck dumb, as if hit by a bolt of lightning.
Mrs. Frostâs face turned pale. Was Arabella Romeoâs fiancée? They were screwed; this was not just about bankruptcy; the Cooper familyâs problems were much more serious than that!
âYouâve already messed with her once; now youâre at it again.â The chill in Romeoâs eyes seemed to come from the abyss: âDo you think sheâs easy to push around, that she has no one to rely on?â
Hearing this, Ken slapped Myra hard twice and said, âYou reckless girl! What did you do to Ms. Bella last time? I could kill you!â
Mrs. Frost was too scared to make a sound and could only watch helplessly as her husband slapped their daughter over and over again.
