Chapter 538
John was ready to storm the storehouse with his men when Cordy caught his hand.
"John," she murmured, even as he felt how skinny his fingers were.
If she could, she really wanted to hold on tightly to that hand and to stop him from facing any danger.
But now, she had to let him go and tell him, "You have to keep Dicky safe."
"I will." John agreed to it right away, able to read between her lines.
He knew that she was telling him that he must keep Richard safe even at the cost of his life, but he

However, as John and the two bodyguards headed inside, they heard something nearby.
Noticing it immediately, they turned to find a dark silhouette walking past them.
It was too dark to see, so one of John's bodyguards gave chase by fumbling his way forward.
After he left, John suddenly sensed someone behind him, and he quickly jumped aside.
The bodyguard who remained with him strode up, stopping the man who tried to attack John, and it

others.
Even so, there was nothing even after he looked through the entire place
It was just as he had anticipated-Jessica was never here. Her bodyguard had simply lured him here as
a diversion.
John clenched his fists-Jessica had been following him around for years and naturally knew his way of
doing things.
"Mr. Levine..."
One of the bodyguards returned to his side then, panting as he reported," We... subdued him."
John stormed toward Jessica's bodyguard then and asked with icy bloodlust, "Where's Jessica?"
