Chapter 60

While Zoey was busy taking down Miguel's three bodyguards, Manuel was already being escorted to the living room by the butler.

"Mr. Owens, Mr. Jimenez is currently occupied. Why don't you tell me what you need? If it's urgent, I'll get Mr. Jimenez to see you right away," the butler said with a smile, signaling a servant to pour Manuel a cup of coffee.

Manuel's heart sank, and he had no interest in coffee. He threw the cup to the ground, glaring icily at the startled butler. "I know Mr. Jimenez is currently with Ms. Spencer. I've come for her. Convey to Mr. Jimenez that he should act with caution, or else tonight may be his final one."

The butler was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. He looked at Manuel with a smirk. "Mr. Owens, you must be a fan of Ms. Spencer, huh? Too bad you're late. Ms. Spencer came to see Mr. Jimenez on her own. Even if you call her, she might not come out to see you."

"Besides, even though you're a top international lawyer, in Maple City, you can't outdo Mr. Jimenez. If you know what's good for you, leave now; otherwise, you might be the one who doesn't make it through the night," the butler warned, not bothering with pleasantries.

Manuel's expression grew even colder. "Let me tell you, it's not me who wants to see Ms. Spencer, but Henry Windsor. Has Miguel gotten so bold that he dares to mess with the woman favored by Mr. Windsor?"

The butler's face immediately showed fear at Manuel's words. "Are you joking? If Ms. Spencer is really Mr. Windsor's woman, why would she come to see Mr. Jimenez?"

Manuel stared him down. "You might not believe it, but once Mr. Windsor shows up, you'll regret it. If you don't want to be settled with Miguel by Mr. Windsor, take me to Ms. Spencer now!"

The butler looked at Manuel with suspicion. There was no hint of deception in his eyes, making it hard to believe he was lying.

As he hesitated, a commotion erupted outside the door.

"It must be Mr. Windsor," Manuel said, running towards the door with the butler close behind.

Their jaws dropped as they saw all the bodyguards surrounding Henry had been taken down.

Henry looked like a demon from hell, exuding a chilling aura that seemed to want to destroy everything around him.

"Mr. Windsor, you're finally here," Manuel was the first to regain his composure and approached with joy.

The butler turned pale with fear and stammered in front of Henry. "Mr. Windsor, why are you here?"

"Where's Zoey?" Henry's eyes were as cold as an abyss, causing the butler's legs to go weak and crash heavily onto his knees.

"I'll take you to her right away," he quickly got up with cold sweat, praying that when Henry saw Zoey, she wouldn't be too badly tortured by Miguel.

Seeing the open basement door, Henry's hands clenched tightly, his gaze growing colder and colder.

As they descended the stairs and stood in the hallway, they suddenly heard a man's scream. In the next moment, a naked man covered in blood was kicked out of a room.

Henry stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Zoey, her hair a mess and dressed in black sportswear, stepping out of the room. She had her foot planted firmly on the man's groin.

The guy's scream was so loud it almost shook the basement ceiling.

"You're lower than vermin, not fit to be called a man!" Zoey said coldly, then started pounding the guy's face with her fists. He didn't stand a chance, half his teeth were knocked out, and his face was a bloody mess.

Soon, everything went dark before him, and he passed out completely.

Manuel thought, 'Zoey is a total badass!'

His worries were clearly unnecessary. Zoey wouldn't have put herself in danger if she wasn't confident.

But then Manuel remembered Henry was right next to him.

Would Henry be turned off by Zoey's fierceness?

So, just as Zoey was about to completely crush the guy's genitals, Manuel quickly shouted, "Ms. Spencer, we're so relieved you're okay. You don't know how worried Mr. Windsor was about you."

Zoey froze. She heard Manuel's voice. What did he just say?

Her head turned slowly, like in a movie's slow-motion scene, and her jaw almost dropped in shock.

Henry!

Why was he here?

So, he had been watching the whole time while she was beating up the guy.

For a moment, Zoey was completely stunned and didn't know what to say to Henry.

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Another man, covered in blood, stumbled out of the room, his arm hanging limp, clearly dislocated by Zoey.

In his only usable hand, he tightly gripped a blood-stained knife, which Zoey had accidentally dropped earlier.

Henry's eyes flashed with anger, and then he disappeared from the end of the hallway.

Manuel was stunned.

It felt like a gust of wind had passed, and then Henry was gone from his side?

Before Zoey could turn around, Henry had already reached her side and kicked the man who was about to stab her.

The guy was violently thrown against the wall. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he completely lost consciousness.

"I guess you still can't reassure me," Henry reached out and wiped the blood off Zoey's face, his eyes showing a hint of affection that made Zoey's ears turn red.

She shyly said, "Mr. Windsor, why are you here?"

"I should be asking you, why did you lie to me? You knew it was dangerous here, yet you still came," Henry was a bit angry, but looking at Zoey, he couldn't stay mad at her.

Joseph was right; Zoey was indeed very capable.

According to John's investigation, Zoey had been an introverted and timid person since childhood. Otherwise, three years ago, she wouldn't have been drugged by the Spencer Family.

However, Henry was now certain that Zoey had been pretending.

It was uncertain whether Zoey would deliver another shock to him in the future.

Hearing Henry's question, Zoey thought of the girl in the room, and her eyes instantly burned with determination. "Mr. Windsor, Miguel is indeed a monster. Besides the girl in the room behind me, there are other girls locked up in this basement. We must rescue them all tonight!"
