Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a lot of scenery in Hearth National Park. Although everyone was in a sightseeing bus, Mary was still hungry and tired by noon.
The maids found a clean and beautiful place, spread out the picnic cloths, and laid out the food they had brought.
A luxurious picnic scene in the park was completed just like that.
Pressure supported his body with one hand and held a drink in the other hand, enjoying the cool of the late summer forest.
Hugh and Herman were chatting idly, and Monroe was on the phone.
Mary felt that this was actually a happy day, if she hadn’t been assigned to Hall.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.
Mary quickly sat up and put down the drink in her hand.
Adele came up to Mary with a terrified look on her face. “Miss, I think I heard a gunshot!”
Mary heard it too.
There were screams coming from all around. Mary saw someone running in their direction.
Herman and Hugh stood up immediately. Monroe was still sitting leisurely in the same spot, swaying back and forth. However, he had already put away his phone.
Mary suddenly realized that four of their bodyguards were missing.
“Do you need to go and take a look?” Mary asked Monroe.
Monroe looked at Mary. “Aren’t you afraid?”
Mary stood up. “No!”
She was even more afraid that a gangster would suddenly appear out of nowhere and wantonly hurt innocent civilians.
Monroe’s eyes revealed his admiration for Mary’s heroic attitude.
At this moment, the commotion seemed to have suddenly stopped.
The four missing bodyguards came back with blood on their bodies.
“Boss, it’s already settled.”
Monroe nodded. “Deal with the bodies. Let’s go back first.”
Monroe finally stood up. He looked at his two brothers and Mary, who had blank expressions on their faces.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”
Monroe was the first to walk in front. Mary and the other two quickly followed after him.
On the way back, Monroe explained that his enemies had discovered his whereabouts, so they sent people to assassinate him. However, everything was under his control, and he fought back.
Although there was a lot of commotion in the scenic area, the innocent people were not hurt, and the mess was quickly cleaned up.
When Mary heard this, she could not help but stare at Monroe.
Although he controlled the underground dynasty in New York and had incredible abilities, he was much more humane than she had imagined.
He would take care of his younger brothers and make all kinds of arrangements for his family that he approved of. Even if there was a shooting riot in a public place, he would do his social responsibility and handle all the funeral matters.
Most importantly, he said that he did not hurt innocent people.
Mary seemed to have a new understanding of Monroe. She was even more certain that the spy that the Intelligence Bureau had asked her to investigate about the Raging Flame Group definitely had nothing to do with him.
After what happened at noon, no one wanted to go out to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
Monroe also took care of the business for the whole afternoon.
In the evening, after dinner, Mary went to the hot spring again.
This time, she soaked in the pool.
Lying on the edge, she looked at the news on the tablet, bored. Suddenly, the sound of water came from behind her.
It was Monroe.
He had been busy for the whole afternoon and seemed to be a little tired. Leaning against the edge of the pool, he sighed comfortably.
Mary looked behind him. “Where are Hugh and Herman?”
Monroe replied, “They went for a walk.”
“So late? Isn’t it dangerous?”
Mary still had some lingering fear when she thought of the incident at noon.
Monroe stared at Mary’s worried expression and smiled. “You still care about those two brothers. Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to follow them.”
Mary still felt that they were too rash. “Why are they running around now when they didn’t go out for a walk in the afternoon?”
Monroe replied, “There’s an event at the square. I heard that there will be many beautiful women in swimsuits.”
Mary understood. “Hugh must have dragged Herman there!”
In her mind, Herman was not such a vulgar person.
