Chapter 1896 The Secret Weapon Of Delilah Young
This old hag has the guts to go against me in the open?
The bald man circled Delilah a few times before taunting, “What are you going to do? Kill me? You really are funny, you old hag. How old are you? Seventy? Eighty? You can’t even walk properly anymore.”
Delilah did not respond to his insults. Instead, she got her phone out and dialed a number.
“I have a bit of a situation here,” said Delilah. Her conversation lasted less than two minutes.
When the bald man saw how confident Delilah was, he grew curious and wanted to know just how much trouble an elderly woman like her could be.
Freya, who was hiding in the corner, started panicking because she had no idea who Delilah called earlier.
Bang! Someone kicked the door to the restaurant down.
Over ten men walked over to Delilah respectfully.
“Caspian?” blurted Joan in astonishment.
“Ms. Young, Joan,” greeted Caspian. He then went for the bald man right away.
Instantly, the bald man was overcome with fear.
It turned out that Larry was so renowned that everyone knew his bodyguard, Caspian, as well.
“Who’s trying to kidnap my boss’ wife?” demanded Caspian.
Everyone turned quiet as no one dared to speak up or answer his question.
The bald man’s subordinates who were holding Joan’s arms let go of her immediately before turning to him for his help. Unfortunately, most would choose to protect only themselves when in danger.
“Err… this is just a misunderstanding. My men were too dumb to understand my orders. I-I’ll teach them a lesson as soon as we get back,” answered the bald man to break the silence.
The spectators scoffed. He’s blatantly lying!
“Is that so?” questioned Caspian. He turned around and slowly approached the man’s subordinates. His gaze was as ferocious as that of a wild animal while he cracked his knuckles.
The subordinates were so scared that they trembled uncontrollably.
“No, that is not true. It’s his fault! He told us to grab the girl!” said one of the men before he and the others pointed at the bald man in unison.
At a loss for words, the bald man scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Delilah seemed especially displeased when she saw everything playing out in front of her. We’re lucky that Larry sent Caspian over to keep us safe in case anything happened.
“Take him away,” ordered Caspian. The men standing beside the entrance walked over to the bald man immediately.
“No, wait. I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t know that she’s Mr. Norton’s wife. Please let me go just this once,” begged the bald man, who suddenly knelt down in front of Caspian.
Right then, Joan stepped up and spoke to Caspian, who then nodded in response.
“Fine, I will let you go this one time, and only because Joan spoke on your behalf. If you ever try something like that again, I will kill you, regardless of who you’re going after!” Caspian threatened.
Without wasting a second, the bald man and his subordinates rushed out of the restaurant as quickly as they could.
The spectators dispersed as well, and the only ones left were Delilah, Joan, and Caspian. Someone had already taken Lucius to the clinic by then.
“Caspian, what are you doing here?” asked Joan as she tapped the man’s shoulder.
“Mr. Norton asked him to come over,” replied Delilah nonchalantly.
“Seriously, Joan, just how many people are after you? They’re bullying you all the way from the big city to the small village,” teased Caspian. “Larry called me just before he went back to the office. He asked me to keep you safe and gave me Ms. Young’s number.”
Joan suddenly felt all warm and fuzzy. Larry is so attentive and caring.
But this incident is just a coincidence, right?
“Alright, everything’s fine now. Thank you for dropping by. By the way, is Larry alright? I noticed that you called him a few times earlier on,” Joan asked while looking at Caspian worriedly.
He hesitated for a moment. Given Joan’s reaction, it is likely that she doesn’t know what Larry is doing.
“He’s fine. What could faze Larry Norton anyway? Come on, let me take both of you home,” Caspian changed the topic right away.
“No, let’s go to the clinic. Lucius is there,” reminded Delilah.
