The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 143: She Understood

Holly Sawyer got hold of the blueprints and took a careful look, her brow furrowed with seriousness.

"Boss, is there a problem?"

Bella Coleman looked at Holly Sawyer’s grave expression, confused. The blueprints shouldn’t have any issues, right?

"Just because it’s quiet in Arkenfall doesn’t mean Bexley is as calm."

Holly put down the blueprints and spoke slowly.

She had been too careless, always focusing on the activity in Arkenfall and completely ignoring the situation in Bexley.

She hadn’t considered things thoroughly; presumably, people were already lying in ambush in Bexley.

"Damn!" Bella Coleman spat out, looking at Holly, "So what do we do now?"

"Send people over here and here first."

Holly pointed to a few spots and spoke slowly.

These were the best places to hide people, and if nothing unexpected happened, the Grant Family had already sent people over.

The calm in Arkenfall was too unusual, so there had to be activity in Bexley.

"Okay, I got it."

Bella nodded, slung her bag over her shoulder, and went out to handle what Holly had instructed her to do.

Holly took out her laptop, her fingers flew across the keyboard as she checked the surveillance around the airport.

There’s nothing a hacker can’t handle, and it takes mere minutes for Holly to figure things out.

The places she indicated to Bella indeed had unusual people; it seemed the Grant Family really had sent people over.

Their goal wasn’t to take out Leo Grant at Arkenfall airport, but at Bexley airport instead.

Holding her laptop, Holly hurried to the garage, drove a car, and headed to Grant Group.

She could drive but usually didn’t like to because she didn’t have a great sense of direction and wasn’t familiar with Bexley, so she generally avoided it.

"Why are you here?"

The office door opened, and Leo Grant looked at Holly in surprise for a moment.

Holly always let him know beforehand when she was visiting because the young girl feared the cold, prompting him to turn on the heater for her.

Today she came without a word and seemed in a hurry.

The young girl really looked anxious.

Could something have happened?

Holly’s tone wasn’t particularly relaxed, "I came to find you."

"Did something happen?"

Leo stood up, looking at Holly with worry.

"There’s an ambush at Bexley airport."

Holly placed her laptop on the table, opened it, showing the surveillance around the airport to Leo.

"It’s Sean Grant’s people."

Leo, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized them as Sean’s people.

Sean Grant, huh.

"There’s been no activity in Arkenfall for a long time, I suspected all the people were concentrated in Bexley, and indeed I was right."

Holly spoke slowly, her tone extremely calm.

Bella had already taken people over; the sooner those people were taken care of, the better, as they were unnecessary to keep around.

"I haven’t received any news on this end."

Leo frowned deeply, staring at the computer screen, his expression grave.

He had been keeping an eye on the news but hadn’t received anything, not expecting Sean’s people to come to Bexley.

He really hadn’t gotten a single piece of information.

"I didn’t receive anything either."

Holly shook her head, looking at Leo.

Her information had always been particularly well-informed, but this time there was nothing—was Sean hidden too deeply, or was it something else?

Sean wasn’t simple either, right?

"I’ll have Noah take people over."

Leo lowered his eyes, speaking slowly.

Suddenly, he felt a little defeated; the young girl’s detection skills were better than his.

What he hadn’t thought of, Holly had.

"I’ve already sent Becky with people."

Holly shook her head, speaking slowly.

The people Bella took should be enough; maybe due to time constraints, Sean didn’t have many people.

"Quicker than your brother."

"I said I’d protect you well, but didn’t expect it to be you protecting your brother."

Leo’s smile was a little helpless as he gently ruffled Holly’s hair.

The young girl was really amazing, even more so than him.

"No, I’m just more informed than you, brother."

Holly blinked, speaking slowly.

Her computer skills were excellent, allowing her to find out a lot that others didn’t know, so naturally, she was more informed.

Also, she spent her days doing nothing, lounging like a couch potato at home, with plenty of time on her hands to explore various things.

Leo, on the other hand, was always busy with work and in his spare time took care of her, so it was normal for information to lag a bit behind.

"Brother will go over, and you stay here quietly, okay?"

Leo thought he should still take a look, raising the air conditioning temperature a bit, pulling out a chair for Holly, his tone especially gentle.

He could handle the dangerous things himself.

"No, we’ll go together."

Holly shook her head, reaching out to grab Leo’s hand, her face full of determination.

If they’re going, they’d go together.

"It’ll be very dangerous there; you should stay and I’ll have someone prepare food for you."

Leo slightly bent over, coaxing Holly softly.

He didn’t want Holly to wade into these turbulent waters; this was his affair.

"Do you think I’m afraid of danger?"

Holly retorted, her tone slightly cold, her gaze fixed intently on Leo.

She was never afraid of danger.

Leo shook his head, "No."

He knew Holly wasn’t afraid of danger, knew she wasn’t easily hurt, knew Holly was incredible, but so what?

To him, Holly was the young friend he held dear. He couldn’t bear the thought of his precious friend facing danger.

Holly’s stance was firm, "We’re going together."

"I..."

"Then we don’t go, or we go together."

Holly interrupted Leo, looking at him somewhat angrily.

Leo feared for her safety, but she feared for his, too.

It was mutual.

How could she feel at ease if she didn’t go?

How could she be comfortable sitting here eating?

The answer was she couldn’t.

"Then we’ll go together."

Leo, feeling helpless, held Holly’s hand, his tone soft.

The young girl’s attitude warmed his heart.

It was the sensation of being cared about by her; she cared for him.

How nice.

"Put on the scarf, came in such a hurry."

Leo wrapped a beige scarf around Holly, tapping her lightly on the forehead.

The young girl looked as if she had rushed out, wearing furry slippers, usually so afraid of the cold, not even having her scarf on.
