My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2682

Fogort stared at the luxurious villa in front of him. He stopped in his tracks.

"This isn't very considerate of you," he remarked.

Tamsine turned her head in confusion, offering a professional smile. "What do you mean?"

Fogort pulled out a talisman, and suddenly, a barrier appeared around the villa. He glared at Tamsine and questioned, "I've already stated that what I do depends on your attitude and actions. Right now, it's hard for me to trust you."

Tamsine waved her hand dismissively and explained, "You see, I need your power, so I extended a sincere invitation to you. As for this barrier…"

She stepped into the barrier. "Rest assured, this formation is not meant to deal with you. I wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge you with such a low-level formation. It's just an extra layer of insurance to prevent something in this villa from going unnoticed."

Despite Tamsine's explanation, Fogort remained cautious. Observing this, Tamsine's lips curled into a slight smile, radiating charm.

"Are you afraid?" she asked as she moved closer to Fogort. "As you just mentioned, trust is mutual. Do you really lack confidence in your own worth? Oh, I care for you too much to set traps for you. We trust you now, so please extend some trust toward us as well."

With that, Tamsine entered the villa.

Fogort glanced at the two bodyguards beside him. Their skills seemed commendable, which made him realize he had walked into a trap.

Reluctantly, he followed Tamsine into the villa.

A line of butlers and maids welcomed Tamsine back to the villa. The two bodyguards opened the grand door, and Fogort walked in behind Tamsine.

Upon entering, he did not find an interior but a vast garden, with the main hall further ahead.

The level of luxury astonished Fogort.

With a swift motion, the man swung his massive fist at Fogort's face. In an instant, the burly man found himself knocked to the ground. The others rushed forward, ready to take action, but Tamsine intervened.

"Enough! Show some respect. Mr. Fogort is my esteemed guest."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding warriors looked like children seeking forgiveness for their misdeeds.

A faint pink true energy began to radiate from Tamsine. "Alright, you can all step back. I need to have a private chat with Mr. Fogort."

The warriors quickly exited.

Tamsine invited Fogort to sit beside her again.

Fogort intended to refuse once more, but he suddenly realized that the presence of the group behind him had not faded far.
