Chapter 469
At that moment, Jay and Astrid found themselves facing a man in the hospital who seemed a world
apart from the one they knew. His eyes radiated a piercing light, and a palpable aura of ruthlessness
surrounded him.
Of course, Jay was only masquerading in front of the old folks. In front of her and Elio, he was too
disdainful to bother with pretenses.
Jay said, "Astrid, what have you done to my son?"
Astrid shrugged her slender shoulders, "What could a weak woman like me possibly do to your son?"
"Tell your men to back off. There are more people living here than just me. Don't disrupt the peace."
The brawl finally came to a halt, and Jay looked at the icy glint in Elio's eyes, "Elio, you're willing to risk
the corporation just for a woman. Are you fit to be the CEO of Morgenster Corporation? The sooner you
step down, the fewer unnecessary sacrifices there will be."
His words were rather unpleasant to the ear.
Before Elio could respond, Astrid simply laughed, "Jay, I’ve been reading the stars, and they tell me
you’re heading for some serious trouble!"
Jay said, "Astrid, don't push your luck! Do you really believe I wouldn't take you out right now?"
"Oh? Take me out? I'd love to see what you can do," Astrid retorted, swiftly pulling a heavy machine
gun from the doorway!
With a swift pull, the gun was loaded! The crowd in the hallway gasped in horror, and even Jay's
complexion changed, "Don't be scared, it's just a prop!"
"A prop? Sir, that's definitely not a prop. I've served in the military, I know a real gun when I see one.
And her grip is professional," someone whispered into Jay's ear.
A real gun? Jay was slightly shaken.
Astrid whistled, "Jay, what was that you were saying? You're going to take me out?"
Jay said, "I don't believe you'd dare to fire in a residential building. As soon as that gun goes off, you
won't be able to escape the consequences!" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Gun noise?" Astrid paused for a moment, then turned to Jay, "Thanks for the reminder!"
With that, Astrid turned and went back into her apartment.
When she re-emerged, she was holding an AK, thoughtfully equipped with a silencer, "That's better, no
noise now."
"I could take you all out, and with Elio's connections, it wouldn't be hard to make you disappear
completely. This is my first time firing a gun. I'm a little excited!"
The crowd were stunned.
Jay stared at Astrid for a few seconds, then suddenly shoved the people in front of him towards her and
bolted for the emergency exit.
Hearing the sound of his frantic footsteps fading into the distance, Astrid's lips twitched.
Damn. Was the guy really that cowardly?
Astrid said, "Hey, Jay, don't run! Weren't you coming to challenge me? Don't you care about your son?"
Watching Astrid strutting around the hallway with her gun, Jay's men were sweating bullets. They
worried that her gun might accidentally go off and get them all in trouble.
"Get out of here, what are you standing around for?" Elio yelled. The men scattered as if they had
received a pardon, fleeing the scene.
Once they were gone, Elio asked, "Did Rickon give you those guns?"
"Yeah, he did. But they're replicas, made by a master though, they look just like the real thing, right? I
can't believe even you didn't realize it!" Astrid, holding the gun confidently, walked back into her
apartment. Before she closed the door, she turned and told the bodyguards in the hallway, "I'm fine
here. You guys should head to the hospital and get those wounds treated. I'll cover the medical bills."
