?Chapter 873: 428 Willingly_1 Chapter 873: 428 Willingly_1 Sixteen years ago, Pindo Rinto faced the relentless pursuit of a group of assassins.
He hired a team of top bodyguards from the International Security Group to ensure his safety.
However, he was in the open while his enemies hid in the shadows, a dangerous calculus that almost ended in his death during one of his outings.
He was saved in the nick of time by a new female bodyguard.
Pindo Rinto kept this female bodyguard by his side.
This bodyguard was Marshella Yates.
The moment she entered Pindo Rinto’s line of sight, all her information was laid out in front of him.
...
Her background was clean and without suspicion, the reason why the naturally suspicious Pindo Rinto trusted her so much.
Little did he know that all of this was a meticulously designed trap set by a cunning adversary.
Even Marshella was just a pawn on her chessboard.
During her three years at Pindo Rinto’s side, Marshella accomplished a lot.
Highly intelligent and gifted, she turned the tables in the Rintos’ clash with the top-tier financiers over a gambling coin, stunning everyone.
The only gambling coin in Jimenez was won by the Rintos, announcing the era of domination by Starlyn Aria.
This wouldn’t have been possible without Marshella.

However, at the time, the Rintos kept things discreet, and not many people knew the inside story.
Marshella achieved more than just this, which is why her being an undercover agent and killing Pindo Rinto would shock many.
What was she aiming for?
Indeed, what was she aiming for?
Although a woman, she possessed the courage and strategy equal to any man.
Her life, akin to a shooting star crossing the sky, was brief and brilliant.
People sighed: “She was a wonderful woman, why did she turn to be an enemy.”
The computer screen went dark, reflecting a handsome yet silent man’s face.

Vanessa Aria managed to keep her finger, but it was not without repercussions.
As the effects of the anesthetic wore off, Vanessa Aria frowned as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.
Once the doctor left, she reached into her bag and took out her phone.
She scrolled through her contacts until she found a person marked as “Jameson.”
As soon as the call connected, she started crying.
The man on the other end seemed very upset, asking her if she’d been bullied.
He made furious claims that he would take revenge for her.
Vanessa Aria sobbed, “Big brother Jameson, I’m in Pethkids now, I’m so scared…”
“Someone dared to bully you in Pethkids?
They are courting death!
Wait, I’m coming over right now.”
After hanging up her phone, Vanessa Aria’s lips curled up slightly.
She had not been idle during her years in Lostswa.
As long as she snapped her fingers, there were always people ready to run errands for her at their own risk.
Jameson’s uncle was Lando Elijah.
In Pethkids, who would dare to oppose Lando Elijah?
Her smartest tactic was how to exert the least effort for the greatest gain.
This massive network of relations ensured she always had the upper hand.
Vanessa Aria had just put her phone down when a video call came in…
Vanessa Aria almost forgot that every night at ten she had a routine call with Violetta Gartia.
He was busy with college, either attending meetings or preparing lessons.
By the time he got back to his place, it was almost ten, the only time he could chat with her.
Vanessa Aria switched over to a voice call, attempting to sound nonchalant, “Just got home?”
The man’s deep, magnetic voice came through the phone, full of unspoken questions, “Why did you switch to voice call?
Are you not comfortable?”
Vanessa Aria cleared her throat lightly, “I just took a shower and haven’t blow-dried my hair yet.
I look pretty rough, better not to video call.”
The man’s voice held a hint of amusement, “You should remember to dry your hair before going to bed, or you’ll have a headache in the morning.
Especially since you’re prone to migraines, don’t be careless.
Do you remember?”
People are vulnerable to such caring words when they are fragile.
She sniffled a bit, a slight abnormality that the man on the other end picked up on, “Did something happen?
Were you bullied in Pethkids?”
“No…not that, I just…I miss you.”
She didn’t want Violetta Gartia to know she had been hurt.
In front of him, she always showed her best side and didn’t want him to see her distressed side.
The man’s voice softened, “Come back to Lostswa as soon as you can finish your business in Pethkids.
I’m waiting.”
Vanessa Aria chuckled, “Yeah, once I’m back in Lostswa, let’s get married, okay?
I can’t wait to be your wife.”
The man’s voice was as gentle and patient as always, but the otherwise careless Vanessa Aria didn’t notice that his voice had subtly faded.
