From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378

With those words, Calvin finally left with his people, exuding an overwhelming presence that made it feel like he owned the place. It was as if a true ruler had arrived-everyone else was just meant to bow to him.

Austin sneered, “What a poser.”

The Pierce family was always putting on airs, but Calvin was the most over the top-he’d still be in a full suit even in the blazing summer heat.

Austin grumbled inwardly, ‘Doesn’t he care if he gets heat rash?’

As soon as Calvin left with his entourage, Sean and the five men he’d brought along were finally able to relax. They all let out a collective sigh of relief.

They exchanged glances, and none of them dared to stick around. They all tried to leave, but Austin’s bodyguards blocked their path.

Sean’s heart skipped a beat, but he still tried to act tough. He said, “What do you want? Let me tell you, my dad is the vice president of Bennett Group.”

He didn’t know Austin, but judging from the way Austin treated Emily just now, he figured Austin must be connected to her somehow.

He thought, ‘Emily is just some illegitimate brat who’s stolen someone else’s place-anyone tied to her couldn’t possibly be anyone important.’ Thinking of that, he got even cockier.

The next second, Austin pointed at Sean and said, “Everyone except him-hand them and all the evidence over to the police.”

Austin’s men were so well-trained that in less than a minute, they had everyone taken away. They even closed the door behind them on their way out. Now, only Austin and Sean were left in the room.

Sean was completely freaking out. He stammered, “What do you

want?”

Austin had a smile playing at his lips, and those dimples made him look innocent as a lamb. But in the dim light, his eyes lent him a creepy, almost dangerous edge.

Sean felt a chill crawl up his back, like some monster had its eyes locked right on him. He instinctively bolted toward the door, but as he spun around, his foot caught on an object and he lost his balance, pitching forward.
