The Mysterious Wife

Chapter 301 Comered And Outnumbered

It was Laney. After seeing Janet get into Ritchie's limousine, Laney quickly hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to follow them. The luxury car stopped at a restaurant famous for its truffle dishes. Laney rushed out of the taxi and followed the pair inside. Given Ritchie's prominence in the social circles of Seacisco, it wasn't surprising that his private room was located on the top floor of the restaurant. Not only that, but he also had two burly men in black suits standing guard outside the door.

Laney had heard from the grapevine that the Lester family had their own private security team. This was only a matter of course. As one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the city, the Lester family naturally had a lot of enemies who wanted to bring them down at every possible opportunity. Needless to say, they were very meticulous in selecting men who were exceptional in combat. Laney made sure to keep her distance from the door. She needed to assess the situation first, and avoid being discovered before she could come up with a plan.

Her gaze had only met Ritchie's once before, but it was enough for her to tell that he would be tricky to deal with.

Around ten minutes later, Laney thought she heard muffled sounds of an argument from inside the private room. Without wasting another second, she lunged forward and knocked out the two bodyguard, storming through the

door.

She found Janet trapped in a corner by Ritchie, her eyes filled with tears. “What are you doing here?” the man roared when he caught sight of Laney. “What happened to my men?” Laney charged towards him wordlessly. Before Ritchie could even react, she had already grabbed him by the nape. He immediately blacked out and crumpled to the floor. “Laney!” Janet cried out in fright. “Is he dead?”

Laney held out her hand and helped Janet to her feet. “Don’t worry. He's just unconscious.”
