Help Her
Everyone was taken aback because they thought Carla had been rendered unconscious. They did not expect her to wake up all of a sudden, react with such agility, and even manage to snatch a gun.
"Looks like I have underestimated you."
She heard an icy voice that had a hint of admiration in it.
"We finally meet, Mr. Gold."
Carla turned to look at Newton, who was sitting on the sofa. Her eyes shone with pure hatred.
The man looked younger than she had expected. He was obviously in his fifties, but he looked like he was only forty years of age.
He was a short man without any outstanding features. However, there was a piercing coldness in his eyes.
"Interesting!" Newton was quite calm and even gave her a cheeky grin. "This is more fun."
"I don't think you can afford to have fun." Carla stared at him in fury. "Release my sons now, and I will let you die in one piece. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise, what do you intend to do?" Newton raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Are you able to kill me?"
Just as he finished speaking, his seven subordinates pointed their guns at Carla. The scarred man even took a step closer to her.
"You think I don't dare to kill you?"
Carla pointed the gun at Newton and cocked it.
The seven subordinates cocked their guns as well.
If Carla dared to shoot, then she would be ridden with bullets too.
"Do it!" Newton challenged her. "If you dare to hurt me even a little bit, I promise you that your sons will die horribly!"
"You!" Carla seethed.
Newton smiled at her and said, "I don't want to do anything to you as of now. Before I change my mind, put the gun down and leave here quietly. I will then pretend that none of this happened!"
He made it sound like a generous offer, as if he was giving her a chance.
Carla said nothing and kept the gun pointed at him.
She was aware that he was right. At that moment, there was no way she could hurt him. Aside from being outnumbered, there was the possibility that she might miss her target. Even if she did succeed, both Randy and Josh would still be in danger.
Hence, she had no choice but to put the gun down and leave quietly.
However, she refused to accept things as they were!
"I'm going to count to ten! If you don't leave, then don't blame me for what I'll do!"
Newton blew out some smoke and started counting.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"Six…"
At the count of six, Newton's phone rang all of a sudden. He paused and answered his phone with some hesitation.
One word from the caller was enough to cause Newton's expression to change drastically.
He responded immediately, "Mr. Lierger, I think there is some misunderstanding. Don't worry. I'm aware of the rules of the underworld."
The caller ended the call. Newton immediately gestured with his hand. All his men moved aside and cleared the path for Carla.
"Was that Daemon who called you?"
Carla was very surprised. She did not expect Daemon to contact Newton personally at this crucial moment.
How did he know that I was captured by Newton?
Was he trying to ensure my safety with that phone call earlier on?
Newton looked up at Carla and said, "I'm only interested in money and not killing people. As long as you play along with me, your sons will be safe. If you get in my way of getting rich, then it will be a different story."
"You…"
Newton gestured at her. "Go."
One of the bodyguards opened the door for Carla to leave.
She picked up her phone and left in a huff. At the door, she glanced at the room next door and questioned Newton, "Why are you setting your own daughter up?"
"I'm trying to help her."
Newton sounded so righteous.
Although he did not elaborate further, Carla understood that he wanted Nella to marry "Zayn" and become Mrs. Giblo. In the future, she would then be able to inherit all of the Giblo family's inheritance by right.
