Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 450

Chapter 450: Chapter 450

The man in black noticed the impending danger and swiftly evaded, barely missing Clark’s head with a table lamp. Fortunately, Rosemary managed to kick it aside.

More men in black poured into the first floor. Rosemary turned to Logan behind her.

"You all escape through the window. I’ve arranged for Jerry to meet you outside. Clark, use my phone to call Jerry."

With that, she threw her phone to Clark, bolted the door, and turned her steely gaze to the dozen or so men in black.

"Who are you, and why are you meddling?" The leader of the men in black was bristling with murderous intent, his piercing eyes radiating terrifying intimidation.

"Your worst nightmare," Rosemary retorted, as she was in no mood for small talk.

Clark had no clue about his sister’s phone password. Fortunately, he was a hacker. After a bit of effort, he managed to crack it—only to find out it was simply 123456.

He almost shed a tear at the simplicity. After calling Jerry, he helped the two elders climb out the window, leave through the yard, and arrive at the entrance just as Jerry’s car pulled up.

"Don’t worry. Jerry will take you to a safe place." He had to go back to help Rosemary. He couldn’t let her face that danger alone.

"My ba..." Taylor whimpered. "It has the scarf Carol knitted for me, and the necklace she bought me with her first paycheck."

Even though they were not valuable, they meant the world to her. It was all she had left to remember her by.

"Don’t worry, I’ll get your bag," Clark assured her as more men in black approached. He quickly closed the car door and prepared to face them alone.

"Stay safe, Clark." Taylor banged on the car window, terrified as she saw Clark being surrounded.

Logan didn’t expect things to get that complicated and dangerous.

"Stop the car."

Jerry thought he heard wrong.

"I can’t leave those kids alone in this danger. Stop the car," Logan insisted, feeling that he needed to help them. "Those people are after us. We can’t leave those kids to face them all by themselves!"

Wasn’t that just sending the kids to their deaths?

But Jerry hesitated, eventually saying,

"Um... Mr. Logan, even a hundred of you wouldn’t stand a chance against Ms. Rose. If she can’t handle them, you won’t be of much help."

It would be a sure death.

He was taken aback by that comment.

A hundred of him!

Logan and Taylor were stunned. That girl—could she really take on a hundred men?

Looking at Rose, who was always so cold, quiet, and well-behaved...

Could she really fight all those men?

"Who are you?" Taylor asked Jerry, who was driving. "Where are you taking us?"

"Don’t worry. Ms. Rose and Clark will meet us soon," Jerry reassured them.

While waiting for the traffic lights, he reported the situation to Carl.

The gist was, when his car left the apartment, the men swarmed out. Some of them probably saw his license plate, so he needed reinforcements, or else they might fall in danger.

Logan and Taylor were still puzzled.

What did he mean by that?

After receiving the news, Carl ordered his subordinates to rush to the apartment to help Ms. Rose.

Meanwhile, Rosemary and Clark had already taken down the men in the apartment with relative ease.

Rosemary pinned one of the men under her foot.

"Spill it."

The anonymous figure in black was ready to bite his own tongue off, but Rosemary, with a casual flick of her wrist, sprinkled a white powder that filled the room.

One by one, several people dropped to the floor unconscious.

By the time Romeo’s men arrived at that place, the room was littered with bodies—more than a dozen of them sprawled in every direction.

Their masks had already been removed, revealing unfamiliar faces. There were no tattoos or markings on their bodies.

"The rest is for you to deal with."

Rosemary knew that those men were notoriously tight-lipped, and it would take days, if not weeks, to extract any useful information from them.

"Just be careful not to attract attention."

"Yes, Ms. Rose. We will take care of it from here on."

The lead bodyguard watched Rosemary’s retreating figure, pulling out his phone, intending to sneak a picture of her.

But Rosemary noticed it, turning back to ask,

"What are you doing?"

Startled, the bodyguard’s hand trembled.

"I was taking a picture for Mr. McMillian, to prove that Ms. Rose is safe."

God, Ms. Rose’s aura was intimidating. Even after years of navigating through the underworld, he found himself a bit unsettled.

Clark was also stunned. He thought the man had taken a liking to his sister and wanted to sneak a picture of her as a memento, but he didn’t expect that it was Romeo’s idea.

Rosemary was likewise at a loss for words.

Before she left that place, she instructed,

"Clean up this mess as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The man blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Clark picked up a bag from the ground, opened it, and found a scarf and some other personal items.

It must be the bag Mrs. Earwood had mentioned earlier.

A car was waiting outside to take them to meet up with Jerry.

As soon as Rosemary got into the car, she asked,

"Clark, any new discoveries?"

After they had taken down those men, they confiscated their phones and discovered their conversation was coded with special terms. There was even a picture of Rosemary—apparently, they were planning to capture her.

The picture was a screenshot from a surveillance video. Clark knew that his sister was being targeted, and the situation was very dangerous.

He had tried to decipher the codes in the room but didn’t find anything new.

"Once I decode these messages, I’ll try to trace them remotely and see if we can find any leads," Clark said.

Rosemary leaned back, exuding the aura of a boss.

"If that doesn’t work, we’ll wait for the next batch to come, and I’ll pretend to be overwhelmed and let them take me."

In that way, they could locate their hideout, find out what kind of organization they were, and even uncover the truth about Carol’s past in the process.

"No, I won’t let you take that risk!" Clark immediately rejected the idea.

"If anyone’s going there, it’s going to be me!"

"Do you think you can get away?" Rosemary raised an eyebrow.

Clark was at a loss for words. He knew that those men were skilled fighters. If it wasn’t for Rosemary, he would have had a hard time facing them alone.

"Anyway, this is not open for discussion. I won’t cooperate with you on this, nor will I allow you to take the risk." Clark was unwilling to let his sister go on a dangerous mission alone.

"Clark, I know what I’m doing."

"No! There’s no room for negotiation!" Clark knew that his sister was stubborn. Even if he disagreed, she would carry on with her plan secretly.

"Clark, you should give me those phones."

"Do you think I won’t tell you once I decode the messages?"

"But you will go alone, won’t you?"

Clark was stunned. He didn’t expect his sister to be so perceptive.

Rosemary was clearly a better hacker than he was. If he gave her all the phones, she might decode them first and go there alone.
