Chapter 807
Andrew led Shiloh toward the car, with Michael trailing behind. As they walked, Shiloh turned her head for one last look at the worn-down monastery.
Her voice was soft as she mumbled, “Perhaps I won’t be coming back here again.”
Andrew chuckled. “If you ever decide to return, I can have the entire place renovated for you. I’ll get a team to rebuild it, plant some trees and flowers, and turn it into a beautiful retreat–maybe even a landmark in Jayrodale.”
Shiloh shook her head. “No need. I have no attachment to this place.”
Michael, unable to hold back his curiosity, blurted, “Shiloh, can you take off your veil?”
He had almost called her “Master” again. That would have earned him another slap for sure.
Shiloh remained indifferent. “No one is allowed to see my face. Especially men. If any man sees my real face, I’ll kill him.”
Michael frowned. “Seriously? Just one look, and you’d kill someone? What are you, the queen of some ancient empire?”
Shiloh cast him a cold glance. “Why don’t you try and find out?”
Michael’s heart skipped a beat. He was tempted–curious to know if she was a breathtaking beauty or just hiding a face not worth showing. In the end, he suppressed the thought–messing with a woman who might actually be insane was not worth the risk.
Andrew pulled open the car door. “Shiloh, get in.”
However, Shiloh did not move. Instead, she spoke calmly. “Mr. Lloyd, we might have trouble.”
Andrew raised an eyebrow. Then, following her gaze, he spotted Harvey approaching with the two elder enforcers of the Wellers, their expressions dark and hostile.
“Master Shiloh, I suggest you come with us to the Wellers,” Harvey said coldly. “Otherwise, I’d have to use force.”
With a flick of his wrist, the two enforcers spread out, positioning themselves on either side of Andrew, forming a subtle encirclement.
Andrew did not react much. Instead, he glanced at Shiloh, slightly surprised. She had sensed the threat even before he had.
That meant one of two things–either Shiloh’s skills surpassed even his, making her unfathomably powerful, or she had an extraordinary gift–a heightened perception that allowed her to detect danger before it even arrived.
Andrew leaned toward the second option. Since Shiloh had lived a life of discipline and detachment, her heightened awareness likely made her extremely sensitive to hostility.
Michael’s face darkened. “Harvey, what’s this about? You lost fair and square, so now you’re resorting to kidnapping? How pathetic can you get?”
Harvey scoffed. “Shiloh is a fool. She doesn’t know any better and falls for Andrew’s little money trick. I, however, can’t just stand by and watch her be deceived. Rhodes Corporation is clearly taking advantage of her, and I won’t allow it!”
He acted as if he were some righteous hero saving a helpless woman from danger.
Andrew snorted. “Harvey, if your father could see you pulling this shameless stunt, he’d probably be rolling in his grave–too pissed off to even rest in peace.”
Harvey’s face twisted in rage. “Shut your damn mouth, Andrew! You don’t get to talk about my father. You’re not worthy!”
Andrew smirked. “Oh, I’m not worthy? But you are? So worthy, in fact, that you seduced your father’s woman and even played a hand in his death? Wow. Truly a ‘devoted’ son.”
Harvey’s face turned red with fury. He lost it. “You bastard! Shut the hell up! Both of you–what are you waiting for? Kill him!”
The two Wellers enforcers hesitated for a brief second. After all, Harvey’s actions had already left a bad taste in their mouths.
