“Mr. Spence?” Christy exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the man, struggling to get her words out as she hastily called out. “Christy, who is he?” Victoria asked warily.
“He is Joshua’s assistant, Terence,” Christy replied, “he helped me out of a tight spot yesterday when he brought Alan back. and today he helped me out again when Gloria caused trouble for me at work.”
“If he’s Joshua’s assistant, then these people must all be his bodyguards,” Victoria fumed.
“I don’t care what your reasons are. This is my home, and I don’t welcome you. You entered without my permission, which is trespassing. I warn you to disappear from my sight immediately!”
“What if we insist on coming in?” Terence calmly smiled, taking a step forward.
“Then I won’t be polite to you!” Victoria gave her final warning.
This was her home, and she wouldn’t tolerate strangers invading it.
“Terence, be careful. This woman is tough…” One of the fallen bodyguards trembled as he spoke.
“You guys really disappoint me. You can’t even beat a woman. With such poor skill, how you guys still have the nerve to be the president’s bodyguards? It seems I should send you all back to training. His tone was cold and indifferent.
All of the bodyguards looked down in shame.
Terence was right. They were truly outmatched. Even with eight against one, they couldn’t defeat a woman. They had really brought shame upon Mr. Melendez.
“Mr. Spence, Victoria, can you please stop fighting?” Christy was getting increasingly anxious.
Terence had helped Christy twice, so she didn’t believe he was a bad
person.
Christy thought Joshua had sent them here to intimidate her after she had rejected him.
Christy thought even though Victoria was athletic. She was still just a woman.
Terence was Joshua’s trusted assistant, and anyone who could stay by Joshua’s side was certainly no ordinary person.
Christy was worried that Victoria would come off worse if they really started fighting.
Thinking this, Christy anxiously said, “Victoria, don’t worry about me. They’re here to find me, so I’ll go with them. I don’t want to drag you into this!”
“Christy, what nonsense are you talking about? If you’re in danger, will I leave you behind and run away? Would I still be your good friend if I did that? I could never do such an unprincipled thing!”
Victoria remained standing in front of Christy.
“Victoria…” At this moment, Christy was touched beyond words. Aside from Victoria, she didn’t have another friend who was willing to protect her like this.
Victoria was as prepared as if she was facing a great enemy!
Victoria’s intuition told her that the refined and handsome man before her was a thousand times more dangerous than those bodyguards.
Terence calmly walked towards Victoria, but Victoria defended herself by kicking him!
Her move was both fast and ruthless, one that most people would not be able to avoid.
However, Victoria only saw a flash of Terence’s shadow, and he was already standing in front of her.
He was incredibly fast!
Victoria had finally met her match.
With just one move, Victoria knew that she couldn’t beat this man with technique alone.
She quickly pulled out a stun gun from her waist bag from behind, aimed it at Terence’s waist from an unexpected angle, and pressed the switch!
With a sizzle, the electric current surged through Terence’s body.
Victoria was overjoyed, thinking she had succeeded.
This gadget could electrocute people for several tens of seconds, and most people could not resist it.
However, Terence remained calm and grabbed Victoria’s wrist with his other hand.
Victoria felt her hand go empty, and the stun gun somehow ended up in Terence’s hand.
Chapter 77
Victoria was shocked and could not understand who this person was. She didn’t believe that he could be immune fo electricity.
Victoria was sure that the stun gun was fully charged and in perfect working condition.
Victoria was deeply impressed and completely stunned by what she saw!
In order to become Joshua’s assistant, Terence had undergone extremely brutal and special training since he was a child.
So a little electric shock from a stun gun could not defeat him.
“Miss Bright, you are indeed very impressive to ordinary people. But if you encounter someone like me, this thing won’t work. Terence said to Victoria calmly.
“If I’m not mistaken, this high–power device is illegal here. It’s not very appropriate to use it against guests, is it?”
Victoria was taken aback by this!.
She didn’t know it was illegal.
Last time in the alley, when she encountered a rogue, Christy used this device effectively, so she asked Alan to find one for
her too.
Unexpectedly, Alan brought it to her just a few days later.
Victoria really thought it was just an ordinary item that could be easily bought online…
Victoria felt that she didn’t understand Alan and Clara at all, and couldn’t comprehend what was going on.
Victoria knew that now was not the time to think about this matter!
“You came uninvited, trespassed into a private residence, and yet have the audacity to call yourselves guests? Are you not ashamed?” Victoria replied with great conviction.
“Oh, by the way, I haven’t told you yet. Mr. Melendez just bought the entire property, and now Stellar Group is not only an investor, but also the developer and manager of the Cloud Mansion. Therefore, we definitely have the right to inspect this property, Terence said with a smile.
“But I have bought this house! This is my home!” Victoria said angrily.
“Miss Bright, you are indeed the owner of the top floor unit, but where you are standing now is a public area, isn’t it?” Terence said calmly.
Victoria was momentarily stunned.
Victoria realized that this corridor was indeed a public area!
Victoria understood that strictly speaking, Terence and his team did not invade a private residence.
Now, Victoria couldn’t find a reason to drive them away.
Upon seeing Victoria speechless, Terence confidently smiled. He thought it seemed this phrase was more effective than just starting a fight!
At that time, Christy felt increasingly uneasy as she listened…
The Cloud Mansion had over 2,000 households, each with apartments exceeding 1,500 square feet, starting at 400,000 dollars, and half of the units were still unsold.
Christy felt that Joshua was as domineering as ever!
She believed that Joshua was resorting to the same tactics as at noon to intimidate her, just an upgraded method.
A restaurant would cost at most a few hundred thousand dollars, while this property could cost tens of millions or even billions of dollars…
Christy thought Joshua was excessively wealthy!
In her opinion, Joshua was still irritating, always flaunting his wealth in front of her.
Initially, Christy only wanted to confide in her best friend and tidy up her belongings with Alan and Clara. But now, she had lost her mood and was filled with anger.
It seemed to Christy that once Joshua was involved in something, everything took on a different look.
When Terence and Victoria finally stopped fighting, Christy stepped out and spoke calmly to Terence, “Mr. Spence, Victoria
is my best friend. Please don’t make things difficult for her. Just tell me what Joshua is planning to do!”
“Christy, what are you doing here? Please go back!” Victoria said anxiously.
“Victoria, this is my own business. I can’t keep dragging you into it,” Christy replied firmly.
“Miss Christy, you have misunderstood. We never meant to cause any trouble for Miss Bright. Mr. Melendez wants to invite
Chapter 77
you to have dinner at Miss Bright’s house tonight. Because of Mr. Melendez’s special status, we came to arrange security measures first. We were surprised by Miss Bright’s remarkable skills,” “Terence said in a calm tone.
