Chapter 514
It seemed somewhat difficult for him to talk about it, and Deandre paused before continuing, “You were kidnapped and taken to Italy, did they do anything to you?”
Mariela shook her head and said, “Nothing, I had only gotten a beating, but it’s okay, it’s all over.”
Deandre’s heart ached even more.“Marie, it’s my fault. I didn’t protect you well. I hired a new batch of bodyguards at a high price, but some paperwork hasn’t been completed yet. Once it’s done and they arrive in New York in a couple of days, I’ll send a few of them to you.”
Mariela said, “Bodyguards can’t protect me all the time and everywhere.”
“They can,” Deandre said.“There is a female bodyguard in the team, who used to be a personal bodyguard for a princess. With her protecting you, I can rest assured. You should arrange for her to join the law firm, and if possible, it would be best for her to live with you.”
Mariela did not want to be a pawn Nikolas used to threaten Lennon anymore.
When she heard Deandre say that there was a female bodyguard who could provide personal protection, Mariela nodded and said, “Okay, Dad, you should also have a few more bodyguards protect you, your wife, and Angel.”
“I know. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“Okay.”
This topic was over.
There was a moment of silence.
Deandre asked Mariela with a concerned tone, “How is the law firm lately? Is everything going well?”
It had been a long time since they sat down and had a nice chat like this. After all those things, there was much less aggression when they talked.
Mariela said, “It is fine.”
Deandre was pleased. He said with a kind gaze, “You’ve grown up.”
Mariela pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Do you still dislike my company?” Deandre asked softly.“Your stepmom and I want to transfer some shares to you. You don’t have to worry about the business risks, and if anything goes wrong, you won’t have to face any consequences. You just take dividends.”
“Okay.”
Deandre was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect Mariela to agree so quickly this time.
“Dad.” Mariela looked up at Deandre.“I was immature before, but now all I want is for our family to be peaceful and harmonious.”
“Good.” Deandre’s eyes
with welled up tears as he murmured, “Let us be harmonious.”
