They only pretended to collaborate to lower their guards, and then kill them without anyone noticing...
"Sir, it's better not to speak too arrogantly."
The leader noticed Sterling Norwood was determined not to cooperate, so he signaled to his men.
The subordinates began to surround Sterling Norwood.
Sterling Norwood didn't move at all.
Selena Kensington heard their conversation and sensed they intended to kill them.
Yet Sterling Norwood kept gently stroking her hair, seemingly to soothe her.
So Selena Kensington obediently stayed silent in Sterling Norwood's arms.
The leader hesitated when Sterling Norwood seemed unaware of their actions, standing still.
Under the moonlight filtering through the leaves, the leader could faintly see a subtle smile at Sterling Norwood's lips.
He frowned.
Why is he smiling?!
But in such a situation, they couldn't just stop.
So the leader decided to press forward.
