Chapter 454 - The end of Cox family (3) (1/2)

As she entered from the back, she saw Oscar urgently exit through the main door. The door closed behind him, and a bodyguard blocked it. He didn't let JoAnna follow outside.

”Don't worry, security will take care of it.” Elanor's voice from behind made JoAnna look back.

JoAnna didn't like that Elanor's concerned expression didn't match her words. ”What is going on?”

”Timothy Cox is on the property.” Elanor didn't know more than that.

JoAnna felt that her heart is about to jump out of her chest. ”Is Jeff out there?”

Elanor responded with a small nod, worry was obvious on her face.

JoAnna was upset that she does not know what is going on. How can she stay inside, out of the way if Jeff is maybe in danger? But even if she forces her way out, she will only be in the way. She needs to know what is going on. She needs to know that Jeff is safe.

Suddenly, JoAnna remembered, when Jeff took her to the roof to shoot. It had a good view of the front of the villa, driveway and also quite a bit of property on other sides.

JoAnna rushed up the stairs.

…

Outside, security caught Timothy and they were bringing him toward the house when Jeff showed up.

Jeff was upset that it took them so long to catch the intruder. He almost reached the villa! Jeff took a mental note that amount of lush plants in the area that can be used for hiding needs to be reduced, and some of these men will get fired. Security needs improvement. If a man like Timothy came all the way here, what would happen if it was someone with training? What is the point of hundreds of bodyguards if all of them are useless?! No matter what his father says, some of these men will be fired.

Jeff plans to talk with Felix and see if he is willing to help with security improvements.

Thought crossed Jeff's mind that Timothy might not be alone. He sent number of bodyguards to keep on searching the area.

Jeff observed Timothy who was standing about twenty feet away, or maybe a bit less. Two bodyguards were holding his arms behind his back. His hair was messy, clothes crumpled, and he had leaves stuck in his hair and on the jacket.

”Why are you here?” Jeff asked Timothy.

”I came here to talk.” Timothy was looking at Jeff in the eyes. He was angry.

Jeff assumed that Timothy was angry because he was being held by the bodyguards and didn't give it much thought. Jeff looked at him with a cold expression and spoke in voice that matched his aloof appearance. ”Well… talk.”

”Can you tell them to let go of me?”

Before Jeff responded, he was interrupted by Oscar, who came out from the villa. Oscar gave a supporting nod to Jeff and then his gaze focused on Timothy.

Security notified Jeff that JoAnna is inside house, and his heart was at ease knowing that she is safe even if there are more intruders.

”Did you come alone?” Jeff knows that Timothy might lie. But he still wanted to ask.

”Yes. Can you tell them to let go of me?” Timothy looked like he is in pain as he repeated his question.
