He said sorry, but there wasn’t a hint of apology in his tone.
"Are you sure there really is such a rule, and it’s not that you’re intentionally withholding it out of dissatisfaction with me?" Ann Vaughn exhaled softly, forcing herself to calm down. "Mark Joyce said I could directly tell you what I need."
"I don’t need you to do anything, just tell me how to book the tickets."
"You want to go to Eland?" Levi Lowell realized the key point and sneered at Ann Vaughn. "I beg you, Miss, staying here already helps a lot. Don’t go making trouble for the Family Head, will you?"
What can a clinging woman like this do?
Offering warmth and affection?
Too bad, women like this are novel as playthings but utterly useless when it comes to serious matters.
They could never be the mistress of their future.
Ann Vaughn’s frowning eyebrows suddenly relaxed, ignoring Levi Lowell’s sarcasm completely, "So, you do have a way then?"
Levi Lowell lowered his gaze and simply ignored her.
Meanwhile, Leo Lowell maintained an indifferent demeanor, showing no intention to explain things to her.
This made Ann Vaughn so enraged she felt like clawing at these two blockheads!
"Who’d have thought Cyrus Hawthorne actually raised two ingrates?" Ann Vaughn suddenly calmed down amidst her fury, looked at them, and said, "Two ingrates who, when push comes to shove, can only cower like shy ingrates!"
Levi Lowell suddenly raised his head, glaring fiercely at Ann Vaughn, "Who are you calling cowardly? Who is an ingrate?!"
If it weren’t for this woman, would they be stuck here unable to use their skills?
"I’m talking about you! Both of you!" Ann Vaughn’s expression changed, her posture arrogant as she pointed at the brothers. "You say you can’t tell me because of rules, but really you’re just afraid of danger, trying to avoid difficulties! What else would you be but cowardly ingrates!"
Listening to her repeated "ingrates," Levi Lowell was so mad his face twisted, "What nonsense are you spewing?! We could never be afraid!"
Leo Lowell, about to speak, was immediately interrupted by Ann Vaughn, "Mark Joyce sent you to protect me, right? If I have to go to Eland, wouldn’t you have to go too? If you weren’t afraid, why wouldn’t you tell me how to go?"
"Huh, I thought you knew the rules well, but you’re just hiding your cowardice and fear! Fine, I won’t bother comparing myself to two cowards!"
Levi Lowell’s eyes reddened, glaring stubbornly at Ann Vaughn’s disdainful demeanor, feeling a metallic taste filling his throat.
This woman... dared to call both of them, the Dark Guard Captains, cowards!
Leo Lowell was about to speak again, but Ann Vaughn seemingly interrupted him on purpose, "Fine, if you won’t take me, when Cyrus Hawthorne comes back, I’ll definitely have a good talk with him about why he sent two useless people to protect me!"
Those words were cruel.
No matter how Ann Vaughn insulted them, it didn’t matter, their master was Cyrus Hawthorne, not her. But if she were to say something to Cyrus Hawthorne, making him misunderstand that they were cowardly, afraid, and useless...
Just the thought made Levi Lowell furious, "I’ll take you! But you’d better not cry when you get there!"
Leo Lowell realized it was too late to stop him, so he just shook his head, deciding not to say anything further.
The Family Head sent them to protect this woman... not sure if she’s perceptive or scheming.
In just a few encounters, she figured out Levi Lowell’s temperament, and even those words aimed at him were perfectly timed, constantly interrupting whenever he wanted to intervene.
Never have they seen such a crafty, unpredictable woman.
"You said it! A liar is a dog!" Ann Vaughn, having achieved her goal, didn’t care what they thought, turned around and went upstairs.
Turns out when dealing with people who dislike you, you can’t be soft, you have to fight fire with fire, evil with evil!
Levi Lowell watched her departing back with an extremely ugly expression, grinding his teeth so they creaked, Leo Lowell seeing this said, "You shouldn’t have agreed to her just now, the Family Head didn’t instruct us to do such things." Newest update provided by n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
"She insisted on going." Levi Lowell shrugged, coldly smiling indifferently, "When the sky wants to rain you can’t stop it, when someone seeks death, no one can save them!"
What kind of place is Eland?
It was once a paradise, but now it’s a plague hell!
Leo Lowell frowned but didn’t sound blaming, "Why argue with an ordinary person? It’s not worth it." Saying that, Leo Lowell walked away with his phone, "This matter needs to be reported to the Family Head."
"I just can’t stand it..." Levi Lowell whispered, lowering his head slightly, "Can’t stand her taking Miss Miya’s place."
...
Just as Leo Lowell and Levi Lowell agreed with Ann Vaughn, they indeed got tickets to Eland, with the flight leaving at eight in the evening.
Ann Vaughn initially wanted to hide this from Kenny, but the Little Dumpling, sensing something, clung to her tightly.
Helplessly, Ann Vaughn had to tell Kenny about her trip to Eland.
After a long silence, Kenny tilted his little head at Ann Vaughn, "Mommy, will you promise to prioritize your safety no matter what happens?"
"Of course." Ann Vaughn pinched his cheek, "Because Mommy knows Kenny will be waiting at home."
"This is an amulet made by Kenny himself, for Mommy." Kenny took out a delicate sachet and hung it around Ann Vaughn’s neck, "You must carry it with you!"
The sachet was heavy, there must be something inside.
It was embroidered with two or three cute little bears, presumably made by the Little Dumpling himself, it must have taken a few days to finish.
Ann Vaughn’s heart melted, she hugged the Little Dumpling tightly, "Alright, Mommy promises Kenny!"
The Little Dumpling, receiving a fragrant hug from his Mommy, smiled happily, completely forgetting his agreement with the Archfiend.
What could matter more than Mommy being happy?
That evening at eight, the flight departed.
Flying from S Country to Eland would take at least eight hours; to conserve energy, even though she didn’t want to sleep, Ann Vaughn forced herself to nap so she wouldn’t be too tired when she arrived.
She didn’t know how long had passed.
Ann Vaughn opened her blurry eyes, yawning lightly, and looked down to find a blanket covering her at some unknown time.
Her head was resting on the shoulder of the passenger next to her, having turned the person into a pillow...
