The bodyguard threw William and Christopher into the compartment and slammed the door shut with a loud “bang“.
William pleaded on his knees, “Big brother, I know I was wrong. I was blind and didn’t realize that Ms. Logan was Mr. Stark’s person. I promise I won’t dare to do it again. Please spare me!”
Christopher’s legs were trembling with fear, “I also knew I was wrong, please spare me!”
