Chapter 1039 A Tempest

Charles and Linda were comforting Little Tomato. The kid had been scared ever since the kidnapping and refused to sleep alone. Linda stayed with her at all times and didn't want her to be mentally exhausted.

Every time Charles saw Little Tomato wake up from her sleep crying, he knew she must have had a nightmare. He hated Ronald more for what he had done to his little girl. He was so angry that he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Fortunately, the little girl wasn't hurt physically. If something had happened to Little Tomato, Ronald wouldn't be alive right now.

They had heard Holly's screaming at the gate earlier, but they turned a deaf ear to it. It was unnecessary for them to lower themselves to the same level as her.

At that moment, the guard at the gate rushed into the house, out of breath.

"Young Master! My Lady! There are so many people approaching the gate. Policemen, along with some members of the Nalan Clan! And Holly Wei is still yelling at the gate. What should we do?"

"Don't panic. Remember your manners!" Charles said sternly.

The guard immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head.

"Who is Holly Wei?" Charles asked.

"Ronald Zhuo's mother, Young Master. We have been dealing with the guy since morning," the guard answered.

"What does she have to do with the Nalan Clan? Which member of the clan is here?" Charles asked thoughtfully.

The guard righted his cap before replying, "The Lord of the Nalan Clan, Lenny. The Chief of Police is here as well."

"Lenny is here?" Charles turned around in astonishment.

"Yes, sir. I wouldn't have hurried here otherwise. There are a lot of people at the gate. Young Master, our guards won't be able to hold them off for long. What are your orders?" the guard asked anxiously.

"He is here, huh?" Linda, who had been comforting Little Tomato, finally spoke after hearing Lenny's name.

"Go back to the gate. Tell the guards not to let anybody in without my permission," Charles ordered.

Linda kne

the right to touch my son? I have the police and the law on my side. If you don't return my son untouched, I will show you!"

Holly threatened, pointing at Linda's nose. Lenny's backing gave her confidence.

"Put your hand down or don't blame me for what I do to you."

Linda wasn't in the least afraid of her. She stood in front of Holly, but didn't even look at her. Instead, she stared directly at Lenny without blinking her eye.

"Linda Xia, I am talking to you! You have broken the law by kidnapping my son. Believe it or not, I can ask the police chief to arrest you right away!" Holly was furious that Linda didn't even bother to look at her.

Linda moved her gaze away from Lenny and glared at Holly. She said slowly, "Holly Wei, who do you think you are? Do you think of yourself as someone important?"

Holly was frightened by Linda's imposing attitude and didn't know how to reply. But in a moment, she met Linda's eyes and yelled angrily, "Linda Xia, if my son is hurt, I will stir a tempest in the Mu Clan's villa!"

"Shut up! Don't think you can say whatever you wish just because you have Lenny's support. Don't you know that it's illegal to break into somebody else' house?" Linda's threatening voice made Holly move several steps backward. She never thought that she wouldn't be able to fight off Linda.
