Chapter 317
Gianna nodded compliantly. “Don’t worry, Shawn, I’ve got it…”
“Well, now that Jax is willing to follow your lead, it’s going to make things much smoother for us in Silver City,” Shawn commented.
Gianna hadn’t quite seen it from that angle.
To her, she had just taken in another underling.
Little did she know that her actions today had already stirred up quite a commotion in Silver City’s underground circles.
Naomi remained oblivious to this development.
She was presently seated in a hotel VIP room, preparing herself. After dressing up, a pleasant smile graced Naomi’s l*p.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and her smile widened as she eagerly opened it. “Honey, you’re finally here…”
The door swung open, revealing Gunner’s familiar face. However, today was different. He had several burly men with him.
Naomi’s demeanor turned more reserved, and she inquired, “Gunner, why did you bring so many people today?”
Gunner wore a serious expression, and he didn’t respond to her question. Instead, he waved his hand, and the men behind him stepped back.
Gunner entered the room and closed the door behind him.
Naomi pressed closer and asked, “Gunner, what’s happening today? Are you upset? I’ll make you happy…” Her hands began to wander down, nearing a sensitive area.
But Gunner firmly caught her hand.” That’s enough, I’m not in the mood today.”
Naomi was puzzled.
In all their years together, Gunner had never spoken to her in such a tone. Nonetheless, she maintained her smile.
“Gunner, how did things go with Gianna? Is she finished now?”
Gunner turned to look at Naomi and countered with a question. “What do you think?”
Naomi remained oblivious to any unusual signs and continued her rant, “Hahaha, Gianna is finally gone for good. No one will dare to challenge me now.”
Gunner heard her and responded with casual indifference, “Don’t let your daydreams run wild.”
Naomi’s expression changed, and she asked, “Wait, did we make a mistake?”
Gunner gazed at her mockingly. “Naomi, why did you have to pick a fight with Gianna, of all people? We underestimated her.”
Regrets were beginning to gnaw at Gunner.
He wondered why he had gotten involved in helping Naomi with those deeds. Initially, he had seen Gianna as just another wealthy heiress.
Little did he know that even Jax had fallen under her influence, leaving him powerless.
“Gunner, what do you mean by that? Is Gianna still alive?”
13:15
Gunner nodded solemnly.
Naomi’s face paled. She was well aware of Gianna’s capabilities. Gianna would undoubtedly investigate the truth if she were still alive, potentially leading her to Naomi.
“Gunner, will Gianna discover my involvement?”
Gunner patted Naomi’s head and firmly grasped her chin, speaking sternly, “Why? Are you scared
now?”
For the first time, Naomi found Gunner’s gaze unsettling and unfamiliar.
She couldn’t help but plead, “Gunner, you, you will protect me, won’t you? You won’t hand me over to Gianna, will you?”
Eventually, Naomi’s voice trembled with tears. “Please, Gunner! Please don’t hand me over to Gianna! I’m begging you!”
