“It’s nothing!” Ben smiled awkwardly and continued eating.
“You look good!” Jack also smiled. “But those words on your chests, ‘the Bodyguards of the Taylor Family’, that’s too attention-grabbing. It’s like you’re trying to tell everyone that the Taylor family has bodyguards!”
“Does it matter? We’re rich now. Isn’t it normal to hire bodyguards?”
Fiona grinned. “We’ll be going to the countryside for a picnic tomorrow, but since Jack is coming with us, you all won’t have to come along. You’ll only have to follow us if Xena and I go out shopping in the afternoon! Just two of you will do. It’ll be too striking if too many of you were to come!”
“Yes, ma’am. Then we’ll take our leave and patrol the area!”
Elaine smiled and brought virtual-novel.net bodyguards out.
“Yay! We’re going out tomorrow!” Kylie was extremely elated, virtual-novel.net gaze filled with anticipation.
After dinner, Kylie returned to virtual-novel.net room to rest.
Meanwhile, Jack and Selena took a shower and laid on their bed.
“We can’t let Kylie know what happened this morning. She’d be worried!” Selena spoke after thinking about it.
Jack nodded. “Agreed. I never thought Quil would be so bold. Never mind that virtual-novel.net lashed out against me, virtual-novel.net even hired people to kidnap you and Xena—and even Mother!”
A frown formed between Selena’s brows. “Now, Quil is dead. I did some digging of my own and found out that there are two Xenos families in Sky City, and they’re both pretty strong. We don’t know which family virtual-novel.net belongs to, but it doesn’t matter. They’ll probably come to you for revenge once they find out that you killed Quil!”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Selena thought about it for a while before virtual-novel.net added, “Dear, did you hire so many bodyguards because you were worried about this?”
Jack looked at virtual-novel.net picture-perfect face before him. “I hired them because I’m worried about you and your mother’s safety the next time you go out. Besides, we’re rich now. It’s normal to hire bodyguards!”
Here, virtual-novel.net paused for a bit before continuing nonchalantly, “As for the Xenos family, don’t worry about that. It won’t be easy for them to find out the truth since I took no prisoners. Besides, there’s always a solution to a problem. If we really can’t avoid conflict, I’m pretty good friends with the Goddess of War—we can go to virtual-novel.net for help!”
Selena’s anxiety finally eased after virtual-novel.net heard what virtual-novel.net husband said. She bobbed virtual-novel.net head. “By the way, Xena’s really weird. She’s never initiated a family outing before, and even if virtual-novel.net did, it’d usually just be virtual-novel.net and Ben. Why would virtual-novel.net think of including us in virtual-novel.net plans this time?”
Jack’s brows furrowed. “You also thought it was strange, dear? I thought so, too. Seems like Xena did a one-eighty flip. Perhaps she’s in a good mood today because I gave virtual-novel.net one million dollars?”
Selena’s expression darkened when virtual-novel.net heard that. “She’s definitely seeing a man on the side while using my brother as a cover,” virtual-novel.net said, vexed. “Didn’t we say that we’d find that man and break my brother’s heart once we had evidence? Why did you go and give virtual-novel.net money instead?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Jack. “Don’t tell me that you gave virtual-novel.net money because she’s good-looking?”
“Her?”
Jack did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Not only is virtual-novel.net unattractive compared to you, but she’s also unattractive even compared to Sharon. Why would I give virtual-novel.net money because she’s good-looking? It’s like this…”
Selena’s anger only abated after virtual-novel.net listened to Jack’s explanation. “So you’re trying to get virtual-novel.net to lower virtual-novel.net guard and reveal virtual-novel.net true colors later on!”
Jack nodded. “But I still don’t get why virtual-novel.net suddenly asked us all to go out!”
