Amy tried to speak, but one of the guards dragging her clamped a hand over her mouth, silencing her. Instantly, she realized these men weren't from the Avery's security detail.
Every Avery guard came through Cindy or Gerald's strict selection, and they are all hardened military veterans who would never mistake loyalties, much less obey Silvia over the true heiress.
That could only mean one thing: these bodyguards were outsiders, mercenaries Silvia had personally hired. No wonder they dared to manhandle her so roughly. The thought made Amy's eyes burn red with fury.
As soon as they reached the seventh floor, the security detail Cindy had stationed there immediately noticed the intruders. The sight of Silvia's familiar face, someone they had already thrown out once, along with the crowd of bodyguards at her back, made the situation clear.
Silvia was here to force her way in. But Cindy's men weren't the type to be intimidated, nor were they the kind to play nice.
