I’m Someone Else

Chapter 206

Cough! Cough!

Adam looked around and his instincts were telling him that something was off. Ever since Thomas and the beautiful girl returned home, everyone’s expressions had become extremely unnatural, including his daughter. He pondered over it for a while but couldn’t figure out the mystery behind it. All he could do was turn to Thomas and say, “Thomas, since you’ve finally come back, eat more!”

Thomas nodded. He had a feeling of uneasiness as if he was sitting on a burning brazier instead of a chair. It made him extremely uncomfortable.

Although he was slow and dull in matters of the heart, he wasn’t a fool. He understood Molly’s feelings for him, but unfortunately, he didn’t feel the same way about her.

“Thomas!”

“Thomas!”

“Thomas!”

The three girls simultaneously picked up a piece of spare ribs and tried to put it in Thomas’ bowl as if it had been prearranged. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

However, as they looked up, everyone froze. Three forks holding the spare ribs were suspended in midair as though someone had stopped time.

“Ahem! Girls, I’m old and the experts say I should eat more meat to replenish myself.”

After speaking, Adam picked up his own bowl while wearing a mischievous smile as he looked at the three girls.

“Erm…”

The three girls subconsciously looked at Thomas. Thomas quickly picked up a piece of spare ribs himself and said, “I’ll help myself. You all should take care of Mr. Hahn.”

Thomas gave Adam a grateful look. How could he not understand? Adam was helping him out of the predicament.

Adam smiled meaningfully as he looked at the spare ribs the three girls had placed in his bowl. He felt like he suddenly understood something…

After dinner, the three girls fought over who should do the dishes. The argument turned pretty heated.

Olivia and Molly went to do the dishes together after Chloe voluntarily withdrew from the team.

As for Adam, he returned to his bedroom early as if he didn’t want to witness any more awkward scenes. Only Thomas and Chloe were left in the spacious living room.

“Thomas, have you figured it out? Both of those beautiful ladies like you a lot. Come on. Tell me, what are your plans?” Chloe pretended to be curious and seemingly driven by gossip. In reality, she was trying to get his answer. She really wanted to know what was on his mind.

“What plans?”

“Oh, come on. Whom are you going to choose?” She rolled her eyes. Thomas was really dense. Besides this, what else could she ask him about?

He shook his head. “I won’t choose either of them.”

For other men, being loved by beautiful women might be an extremely blissful thing. If two beautiful women loved them, they might even pass out from happiness. However, it was a dilemma for him.

Chloe revealed a sweet smile after hearing this. It seemed that Thomas didn’t like the two of them. That meant she had a chance! Great!

How could Thomas not understand the thoughts of the two girls? After such a long time, he would have been ignited by the passionate flames of the two girls even if he was really dense. He had just been pretending.

He was not suitable for a relationship now, so he didn’t want to give them any false hope. Otherwise, he would only harm them.

Not to mention the upcoming major battle with the Six Greatest Families. He didn’t even know if he would survive. If so, why waste the girls’ precious youth?

Moreover, the scars left by Felice on his heart had not yet been erased. He was afraid of entrusting his sincere heart to someone again and having it trampled upon. Some people might argue that Olivia and Molly were not like Felice, who was materialistic.

However, Felice wasn’t the materialistic woman she later became when she first started dating Thomas. Time truly could change a person. As the saying went, “There is nothing permanent except change.”

“We’ll take action after he’s gone!”

Just as Thomas started the engine of his Maserati, four figures emerged outside the residential area. They were assassins sent by Quentin, and their mission was to take Chloe’s life!

Quentin had been planning this assassination for a while, which was why he had sent people to secretly track and investigate Thomas.

The four assassins had already arrived in the residential area and had been observing from outside for a while.

After all, Quentin’s orders were clear. He instructed them to act discreetly.

Quentin wasn’t foolish enough to lay hands on Thomas himself. Thomas wasn’t an ordinary person, as Thomas had severely injured his son. Sending these assassins to kill Thomas would only be sending them to their deaths.

However, Quentin dared to take action when it came to Thomas’ loved ones. Chloe was like a sister to Thomas, and even though they weren’t blood-related, she held great importance in Thomas’ heart. If Chloe died, Thomas would be devastated, and that was exactly what Quentin wanted to see.

Harley would most likely end up a cripple, and Quentin couldn’t swallow this anger. He had to seek revenge, and he had to ensure that there was no evidence pointing to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Quincy.

An hour after Thomas left, the four assassins finally entered the residential area. All four of them were skilled practitioners, while Chloe was a defenseless woman. In Quentin’s eyes, killing Chloe was a sure thing.

However, their expressions changed as soon as they entered the residential area.

It was because they could sense that they were being watched, and it wasn’t just one pair of eyes focused on them, but multiple pairs!

The four assassins instinctively stopped in their tracks as they scanned their surroundings and looked at each other.

“Is it just my imagination? I don’t see anyone suspicious here!”

“Something’s off. I feel it too.”

“Could it be an illusion?”

“Forget it. If we don’t kill that woman, we won’t be able to explain when we go back. Let’s go!”

The four of them mustered their courage and continued walking toward the rented house.

The closer they got to the house, the more uneasy they felt. Not only did they feel more eyes locked onto them, but those eyes also carried a murderous intent.

The four of them were no ordinary people, and they were sensitive to abstract things like murderous intent.

As they reached the front door of the rented house, they prepared to break in.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, five figures dashed toward them. Before they could even see the faces of the incoming figures clearly, the five individuals launched an attack without a word!

Clang!

The four assassins were caught off guard, and the youngest among them was stabbed in the abdomen as blood splattered.

“Crap! It’s an ambush! Run!”

The other three reacted quickly while carrying their injured companion and fleeing for their lives.

Luckily, the five figures didn’t pursue them. They let the four assassins escape.
