Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 501

Jean walked to the door and looked through the peephole. It was pitch-black outside, he could not see anything at all. It seemed like someone had covered the peephole. He began to feel nervous so he made himself sound gruff and fierce as he said, “Who is it?”

A few seconds later, a male voice rang indifferently from the other side of the door. “There’s a problem with the electricity in your home. I’m here to fix it.”

The lights in the condominium immediately went out, as though working in tandem with the man’s answer.

Aery jumped in fright. “Dad, get them to come and fix this. Something’s wrong. It’s too dark!”

Jean believed this matter was not as simple as it seemed. The lights were still on when the man knocked on the door, and they only went out after the man spoke. He did not let down his guard. “The electrical boxes are outside, right next to you. You’ll have to get a key from security downstairs. It’s locked so I can’t help you!”

“I have the keys,” the man outside replied, “I’ve checked. The problem isn’t with the external circuitry, it’s an internal issue. It might be a hazard if we don’t fix it. I’ll leave if you’re opposed to this. Get someone else to fix it tomorrow.”

Jean began to relax when he heard the man’s words. What if he was really here to fix the power? He did not like the idea of pawing around in the dark. After a bout of hesitation, he decided to open the door. Just as he turned the knob, someone outside violently pushed it open and knocked him to the ground.

A few burly men stormed in and restrained Aery and Jean to the sofa in the dark with complete accuracy.

The power came back at this very moment.

At this moment, Jean and Aery finally saw the faces of the intruders. The brawny men were all strangers to them, but they were familiar with Henry’s face.

Aery’s face turned ashen. She lowered her head guiltily, too afraid to speak. At this moment, she finally remembered Helen’s warning. She should have taken her mother’s warning seriously. Arianne still had Mark supporting her…

“Mr. Kinsey, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Tremonts’ family butler, you may call me Henry. You should be well aware of the reason for my visit today. I’m sure an explanation isn’t needed?” Henry said icily as he sat on the sofa across from Jean.

Jean was still adamant about denying everything. “N-no, I don’t. Isn’t this blatant intrusion of privacy a little inappropriate even if you are a member of the Tremont family? I don’t want to make a big deal out of this so I’ll just be frank. You’re going to scare my daughter if you do this…”
