In an office building in the middle of B Island,
Brody Wood arrived on the top floor, flushed with a horrified look, clearly not in the mood.
Some people who saw him flinched and didn't dare to approach, let alone ask anything of him.
As Brody walked into his office, he immediately took out his anger, throwing whatever was on his desk while swearing at Scarlett Piers.
"Scarlett Piers, you bitch!! You will pay for what you did to me today!!"
He said in a cold voice, cold enough to make the two bodyguards who came with him and were standing in front of the table freeze.
Brody let out a long sigh as he smoothed his hair with his hand. Then he continued talking to himself, "You are a slut, Scarlett Piers! You deserve to be punished!! How dare you humiliate me like that? Who do you think you are, Scarlett? You're just a daughter of a low-class businessman!! Trying to challenge me!? Hah!!"
Another binder flew and hit one of the bodyguards in the chest. The guard winced in pain, but no sound left his lips. He only lowered his head, scared to look at his raging Master.
"You two!! What a waste!! Why can't you beat the guy that came with that bitch?" Brody's red eyes stared at both of them like he wanted to kill them with his sharp gaze.
"Young Master, that man is not a simple person. I can see he has a gun under his suit." Said one of the bodyguards.
Brody was taken aback by his bodyguard's words.
In this country, firearms ownership is very strict. Not just anyone can own a firearm. Only members of the military and police are allowed to carry guns. Apart from these two institutions, possession of guns and rifles are illegal.
But why was the man carrying a gun?
Was the man Scarlett with the military or the police? How could ordinary people have guns?
No, the man was definitely not the military or the police officer. From the way he is dressed, he looks like a businessman!? And he looked like Scarlett's boyfriend.
"Interesting! A businessman is carrying a gun?" Brody muttered while sitting in his chair, trying to think of something.
He wasn't afraid of the man beside Scarlett. Now, he is too angry because of what Scarlett did to him. He couldn't let that slut step on his pride. He had to teach her a lesson.
"You guys, contact the underground. I want you to find the best mercenaries who can kidnap her. I want the girl in front of me immediately. Do it!! And also make sure nothing could be traced back to me!"
He would teach Scarlett Piers a lesson and try to solve his stupid mother's problems.
If he couldn't handle his mother's case, his grandfather would have eliminated him as one of the heirs of the Wood Family. He couldn't let go of the opportunity after all the sacrifices he had made for them.
The only way for him to rule over the entire Wood Family is to free his mother, even though he has to kidnap and torture Scarlett Piers.
He had tried to approach Scarlett nicely, but she was too arrogant. If the polite way doesn't work, he doesn't hesitate to use any means necessary.

While in the hospital.
Scarlett left the hospital in the afternoon after finishing lunch with Grandpa Robert.
"Ma'am, are we going back to the hotel?" asked Logan as he started the car engine.
"No! Let's go to the cemetery." For some reason, Scarlett wanted to visit her mother's grave. This was the second time she had seen her after returning to this country.
The location of the Cemetery is quite far from the city center. They had to drive about an hour to get there; by then, the sun was almost setting.
"Wait, young madam, let me park the car first. I will accompany you..." Logan panicked, seeing Scarlett getting ready to get out of the car.
"No need, Logan. I'm used to coming here..."
"But, Ma-am, this place looks eerie..." Logan was worried about letting her in alone, it was already evening, and the sky looked cloudy. At first glance, this cemetery seems spooky.
There were no cars to be seen in that place, let alone anyone visiting.
"Hahaha, you think I'm scared of ghosts? Gosh! I didn't believe in stuff like that, Logan!" Scarlett chuckled and quickly got out of the car.
"Not a ghost, I mean, if a bad person was trying to harm you!" said Logan.
Scarlett only smiled before saying, "You wait here. I won't be long..." and then closed the door.
Bad people? Even demons would take a detour if they encountered her. Tsk, only the bad guys!? She was fearless. She would welcome everyone who came to harm her.
With quick steps, she walked to the grave. Her mother's grave is in the middle of the hill. It took her 5 minutes to get to her mother's grave line.
But...
As she walked towards the graveyard, she could feel footsteps following her. It wasn't just one person; there were more than 5 people. Obviously, it's not Logan.
Damn it! Why, at a time like now, at a cemetery, did these people show up?
She knew the people behind her definitely didn't want to visit their deceased relatives, right? They must be the bad guys.
Scarlett kept walking until she arrived in front of her mother's grave.
She stopped and glanced to the side, and she was right. At least 6 bulky men were standing not far from her. Ostensibly, they gave her time to meet her mother first. How annoying!
Trying to ignore them, she took the time to talk to her mother. She talks about her marriage to Xander and her father's condition.
Before long...
She looked at the six men who were glaring at her. It was clear from their eyes that they were thinking of hurting her!
