Chapter 594
“Why are these two here?” Ronald thought, frowning as a bad feeling hit him.
The Wilson family’s front door was wide open, and Mark walked right in with Nina following close behind.
Nina ignored everyone’s looks and walked right up to Aubree to give her a friendly pat on the shoulder. “Wow, Aubree, you sure are in demand! Look at all these people fighting over you.”
After his phone call with Bowen, Mark had let Nina know, and the two of them had driven over. Although they came from different places, they coincidentally arrived at the same time.
“How about I let you have this kind of luck instead?” Aubree replied with a helpless smile. She did not understand why anyone would want to be fought over by a bunch of losers.
Nina couldn’t hold back her laughter. After she finally stopped laughing, she turned to Mark. “So, what do you think?”
“We should ask the Wilson family if they think they’re so powerful that they can just ignore everything and lock someone up whenever they feel like it,” Mark said, crossing his arms and shooting the Wilson family a cold look.
He flexed his fingers, itching for a fight.
If it were just Bowen, it wouldn’t be much of a problem for the Wilson family. But it was hard to say if both Bowen and Mark came together, especially since Mark had been a thorn in their side after the kidnapping incident with the Walton family.
If they ended up as Mark’s target now, they’d be in for a world of trouble.
After weighing his options, Ronald forced a smile. “Mr. King, you must be joking. That’s against the law. Why would we ever do something like that?”
Aubree just raised an eyebrow and stayed silent.
Bowen scoffed, took Aubree by the hand, and was ready to walk out. At least Ronald knows how to read the room, he thought.
“No way!” Trevor suddenly shouted. “So what if you’re a soldier? Aubree’s my sister. Are you seriously going to stop me from taking her home?”
Trevor reached out to grab Aubree, but before she could even dodge, Mark, who’d been ready for this, snatched Trevor’s wrist in a flash.
Mark tightened his grip, yanking Trevor off balance such that he stumbled right into Mark. Mark didn’t hold back at all. He’d come today looking for a fight.
Mark drove his knee hard into Trevor’s stomach, then flipped him right over his shoulder. By the time Trevor knew what hit him, he was flat on his back, totally dazed. He just lay there for a while, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened.
“What, you trying to attack a soldier?” Mark raised an eyebrow, looking down at Trevor.
Trevor was so mad he nearly exploded. Who’s really attacking who here? he thought.
Ronald’s eyelid twitched hard. He cursed Trevor in his head for being so damn stubborn. Everyone knew that it would be hard to win against someone like Mark, who has a special status. Ronald felt that Trevor should have known to back off from the fight.
“Mr. King, you’ve got it all wrong. Trevor just missed his sister, that’s all. He just got a bit worked up,” Ronald said, trying to smooth things over.
Mark couldn’t care less what Trevor was trying to do. “That kind of excuse doesn’t work on me.”
Mark might look calm on the surface, but anyone who could run with Bowen was hardly innocent. He was just as scheming as Bowen. They were birds of a feather, through and through.
It was likely that Mark was just waiting for someone from the Wilson family to lose their cool and slip up, so he could pounce on their mistake. Otherwise, Mark would have no excuse to stir up trouble for them.
Mark pinned Trevor’s wrist to the ground with his foot, making sure he stayed down. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and dialed the police chief directly.
With just a few words, he twisted the minor scuffle into an accusation that Trevor had assaulted a soldier, telling the chief to come deal with it.
The police chief was already on edge just hearing Mark’s voice on the line, but when he heard the Wilson family was involved, his head started spinning.
