Chapter 469
However, lately, his mind had been preoccupied with wooing the beautiful influencer, Michelle. Hence, he did not remember offending anyone.
Suddenly, Owen seemed to have an epiphany and turned to look at Michelle in the passenger seat with a shocked expression.
“Mr. Sunderland... why are you staring at me like that?”
Michelle was startled by Owen's intense gaze and asked, somewhat afraid.
“Are your two friends hiding something about their backgrounds, or do they know some influential people?”
Owen inquired with a look of astonishment, for the only people he'd had conflicts with in recent days were Michelle, Naomi, and Luna - the three sisters.
But, after asking the question, he regretted it, feeling as if his brain was jammed. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
If they really had hidden identities, there was no way Michelle would come with him.
“What could they be hiding? Only Naomi's family is a bit wealthy, with assets worth tens of millions. As for knowing influential people... Oh, right! Before you arrived, Naomi had an admirer named Donny who claimed to know a big shot who could solve any problem in Xenhall...”
Michelle responded subconsciously, frightened by Owen's seemingly ravenous expression.
“Donny, the one who can resolve anything in Xenhall? That must be him. Do you have his contact number?” Owen muttered to himself before asking Michelle.
At this point, Michelle had calmed down, seemingly discerning something but not daring to confirm. She obediently shook her head, not daring to make any sudden moves.
Owen wanted to call his bodyguard to investigate this Donny but found that the bodyguard's phone was unreachable.
Checking the time, he realized it was already afternoon. If he couldn't get forgiveness from that influential person by then, the Sunderland family would be doomed.
After some thought, he figured the key to the situation lay with the three women, specifically Naomi.
No wonder his previous threats hadn't worked. They actually had a powerful backer!
If he could just get Naomi to forgive him, everything should be fine.
With that in mind, Owen hurriedly left the car and sprinted back into the café.
At that moment, Naomi and Luna looked distressed, trying to figure out how to deal with the situation.
They never expected Michelle to betray them and go with Owen.
Though thoughts of resentment flashed in their mind, they couldn't bring themselves to do so, considering her family situation. They even blamed themselves for failing to protect their good friend.
Faced with Owen's attacks, their connections proved useless.
But as they felt desperate, Owen, who had left earlier, suddenly rushed back into the café.
“What are you doing back here, Owen? We have told you before that even if we die, we won't let a man like you have your way!” Naomi immediately stood up, her face filled with anger.
Seeing her angry face, Owen's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees in front of her and Luna.
“Ms. Sherlock, I was blind and insolent to have offended you. I realize my mistake now. Please forgive me and ask Mr. Hancock to spare my family!”
Owen, disregarding the astonished gazes of the other patron in the café, knelt before the two women, pleading with Naomi in a panic-stricken voice.
Afterward, he repeatedly slapped his own face.
This scene left Naomi and Luna completely dumbfounded.
