Bryan didn’t utter anything, but his expression was clear enough for Be to know the answer.

"Geez! Why are you so worried that someone will hurt me? This ce is tightly guarded by my husband’s people, your friends. And Bryan, my older brother, has no chance of hurting me. I will send him to hell before he does that. Trust me!"

Bryan didn’t respond; he only followed her silently.

It didn’t take long before they arrived in front of Isaac Donovan’s house.

Be halted and turned to see Bryan. He stopped a few steps behind her.

"Young Madam, I’m so sorry, but I am only following orders," Bryan said apologetically, still trying to avoid her sharp gaze.

She smiled at him, "It’s fine, Bryan. I understand. However, I’ll go inside alone, and you don’t need to follow me."

"But, ma’am... your husband instructed me to—" Bryan stopped when he saw her signal to stop.

"Trust me, my older brother has no chance to harm me. You remember how I almost crippled the gangster leader who captured Liam, right?"

Bryan nodded. Of course, he remembered. Since that day, when he saw her handling a pistol, he no longer saw her as just the boss’s wife but as his idol.

The first time he met her, he thought she was a typical young woman from a wealthy family who couldn’t do anything except spend their family fortune. But she waspletely different. She could build her ownpany without her family’s knowledge and had the skill to kick people who tried to mess with her.

"Yes, ma’am..."

A beautiful spring-like smile adorned her face before she continued, "Well, Bryan, just for your information, what you saw that day was only half of my power. That poor man would have already entered hell if I used my full power."

Bryan couldn’t refute her words. He had already heard from Sam about how she fought four people alone.

"Alright, you must trust me, or you will taste my kick. Go, enjoy the scenery, and I will call you if I need your help." Her tone was no longer kind but firm.

"Hahaha, not even in my dreams...I doubt you, ma’am," Bryan wanted to say, but he stopped himself. He only nodded in agreement.

When Be entered the living room, she saw her grandfather sitting across from Henry in the seating area. At the same time, Nick stood in the corner, looking alert.

Taking a deep breath, Be immediately approached them silently. However, Isaac Donovan noticed Be and his booming voice suddenly echoed in the room.

"Be, you finally came," Isaac said, patting the seat beside him. "Sit here, dear..."

Henry instantly turned to see her. He was surprised that she looked even more beautiful than thest time they met in Nova City a few months ago when she instructed her people to beat him.

His hatred toward her slowly emerged as he remembered that day; he lost his teeth, and also his hand bones were fractured.

’Be calm! Be calm, man! Wait until Grandpa is not around...’ Henry reminded himself not to confront her.

"Grandpa, thank you," Be smiled at Isaac, ignoring Henry, who looked at her sharply. "You can leave us, Grandpa. I’ll talk to him alone."

Isaac immediately refused, "No, I won’t let you speak to him alone. He might beat you again, Be..."

"Hahaha, Grandpa, why did you think that way?" Henry hurriedly chimed in. "I won’t do that. Besides, I beat her in the past because she was too naughty. She needed discipline," He smiled at his Grandpa while silently gulping.

’How could Grandpa know what I thought now? Was it too obvious that I wanted to beat her up so that Grandpa could guess it right?’ He wondered before turning to look at Be.

"Little Sister, no worries. I won’t beat you again. You’ve grown up; you don’t need discipline from your older brother, right?" Henry said, then grinned slightly.

Be nearlyughed when she heard their words. She used to be weak, but not anymore. With a single move, she could send her brother, who was almost triple her size, into the emergency room.

"Grandpa, I’m grown up now," Be smiled, trying to convince her grandfather before she looked at Henry. With her casual words, she said, "I could break his leg with a single kick. No need to worry..."

Henry was stunned at how Be was staring at him. He could feel her gaze was utterly different, calm, yet intimidating.

He recalled he saw this gaze thest time they met.

’Is she really different now?’ Henry wondered. Somehow, he felt his little sister’s confidence worry him.

"Can you protect yourself?" Isaac asked hesitantly, still unsure about leaving Be alone.

"Yes, Grandpa," she answered confidently. "Trust me, okay!?"

Isaac shrugged and asked, "Can I stay here? I want to hear what you both want to talk about." He looked at Be, clearly not wanting to be rejected.

Be took a deep breath as she observed her grandfather’s serious refusal to leave the room.

"Okay, you can stay. But Grandpa, please don’t interfere; you can only listen," she said.

Isaac Donovan’s lips widened as he smiled. "I promise I won’t. Just pretend you didn’t see Nick and me in the room."

Be said nothing, just smiled, before turning her gaze back to Henry. Her smile slowly disappeared, and her eyes shed with menace.

"Why are you looking for me desperately?" Be asked coldly.

Henry was pissed off when he heard her question. After suppressing his anger, he said, "Sister, did you know about our mother disappearing?" He said with a gloomy expression.

Be and the others were lost for words upon hearing Henry’s question. Of course, they all knew.

Before Be could say anything, Henry continued with a frustrated tone.

"Why am I looking for you? Little sister, I need your help to look after our mother. She left the house almost a month ago, and no one could contact her. Dad and I feel sad and desperate to find her, but we can’t—"
