Chapter 1241
"Adler, grab the crowbar from the trunk."
A cold glint flickered in Jenna's eyes as she said, "Time to show them how to really fight."
"Are you serious?" Adler gulped hard. This seemed way over the top! A quick scuffle would've sufficed, but Jenna with a crowbar? That was a whole new level. "Jenna..."
"Shut it!" Jenna snapped, "If you don't move now, I'll take you down with them!"
Adler didn't dare defy her. The thugs weren't giving them any room to breathe, charging straight at them. Jenna swiftly lifted her leg, her stiletto heel slicing a bloody line across one thug's face.
The thugs kept coming, each one eager to make her pay. Jenna quickly caught on-they meant business, real deadly business.
So, Jenna didn't hold back, aiming her kicks at their vital spots. Watching from the sidelines, Adler winced with each strike. When Jenna finally got her hands on the crowbar, her attacks grew even more brutal. Her old man had taught her well. Girls might not be as strong as boys, but they could use their agility and wits to turn the tables.
The thugs were left reeling, Jenna darting among them like a nimble snake. When she broke free, the men were sprawled on the ground, clutching their wounds.
Adler was floored. They were totally outclassed! He hadn't even needed to lift a finger!
Shaking his head, Adler looked down and spotted a familiar badge on the ground. The sight stopped him cold.
Meanwhile, in another alley...From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Ah!" A masked thug recoiled in fear, clutching his arm as if he'd seen a ghost.
"Go, go! Move it!" The thugs tried to flee, but Colby wasn't having it. With swift, precise, and lethal moves, he grabbed two lagging thugs by the throat.
Pinning them to the wall, Colby said coldly, "Tell your boss... actually, never mind." With a quick squeeze, a crisp snap echoed, and the two men slumped to the ground.
"Boss, found this on them." A subordinate handed over a family crest. Colby's eyes turned icy at the sight. "Where's Sophie?"
"The lady... should still be at the Aldridge estate."
"Good." Only after confirming Sophie's safety did Colby order, "Let's head back." "Yes, sir." Colby led his team back to their cars.
Back at Burke Estate...

car and a taxi pulled up.
A taxi? Sophie frowned, puzzled. Curiosity piqued, she closed her book and headed downstairs.
Sure enough, Jenna, Adler, and Colby were back.
"Why do you all look like you've been in a brawl? You're a mess."
Jenna blinked in surprise. "Really? Weird, I touched up my makeup in the car."
