Chapter 25 What a Show of Power

Hansel, a man seasoned in the business world, recovered from his initial shock quickly. A practiced smile spread across his face as he hurried forward, lowering himself with almost obsequious eagerness. "Well, if it isn't Mr. Kane! What brings you here today? Please, come in, come in." He stepped aside to clear the way, posture deferential, as though he weren't the master of the house at all. When it came to Sebastian's people, even the mighty Graham family had no choice but to bow their heads. But Taylor didn't so much as glance at him. His face was expressionless as he shifted aside, revealing the line of black-suited bodyguards behind him—grim, silent, and radiating a menacing air. His voice was flat, stripped of warmth. "Do it." At once, the men surged forward, scattering through the villa. They stormed the upstairs rooms with military precision. Hansel and Evelyn stood frozen. They wondered what they were doing. Was this a raid or something? It became clear soon enough.
