"Are you alright, Em?"

"You are not hurt, right? Let me take a look."

"I knew that we can't trust Sullivans when it comes to you!"

"..."

The Alessandro brothers were standing around their little sister as they kept checking whether she was really alright or not.

When Leo and Mark headed to the library to pick their sister, none of the brothers were prepared to stumble across a panicked Jackson.

As soon as they realized that a group of men in black had been seen running out of the Academy grounds, their first instinct was to find their sister.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they just could not find Emily anywhere on the entire sixth floor.

It was not until Mr. Kim found them during their search, that the three of them came to know about Emily's whereabouts.

When Crist reached the Academy to pick his siblings, he was not expecting to find his brothers looking as pale as ghosts while they waited for Sullivan's men to open the elevator door as soon as possible.

The brothers were relieved to know that Emily was not stuck inside the elevator all alone. However, none of them were happy to know that the person who got stuck with her was the Young CEO of the Sullivan Empire.

But at that moment, the brothers could do nothing other than wait for their sister to come out of the lift.

And as soon as Emily was out, they bombarded her with questions as they checked whether she was hurt anywhere.

Even though the people standing around them were touched by the love and care that the brothers showed to their little sister, however, a particular group of people was feeling offended by Mark's accusing words, and one person decided to voice out his dissatisfaction.

"What the hell do you mean that you can't trust us when it comes to her security? Do you think we purposely tried to harm her?" Rylan asked as he glared at Mark.

"That's exactly what I mean! I don't trust you guys even a little bit. Who knows if you planned all this to scare the little child!" Mark scoffed as he replied to Rylan's questions.

"You....!"

Rylan felt like he wanted to punch at least of the Alessandro brothers to relieve himself from the anger that was trying to burst his head.

How dare they blame his family like that? They were openly slandering his brother's name in front of everyone!

Just when everyone thought that the Second Young Master of the Sullivan family was going to lose his calm, he shocked everyone when he suddenly folded his arms in front of his chest and appeared as calm and cool as if he was not looking to murder someone just a moment ago.

"Alright! Since you guys can't trust us with the safety of your sister, then we also don't trust you guys. Who knows if, in reality, it was your sister who tried to take advantage of my brother? After all, it's not possible for just anyone to not fall for...AAAHHH....What the heck!"

Rylan was not prepared for the punch that he received all of a sudden.

Since the one who punched him was none other than Emily, his beautiful face was not harmed at all.

However, the punch came out of nowhere, and all of a sudden, that the poor boy was left shaken to his core.

What if it was one of her brothers' who had punched him instead of her? Even though he would have recovered easily, but the humiliation that he would have suffered was beyond explainable.

Even Emily was aware that her punch was not going to cause much damage to that idiot, at least not yet.

"Rylan Sullivan, just wait for the day when I'll be as physically strong as Mark or Simon. I'm gonna crack your head open with my bare hands that day to pay for all your bullying!" Emily spatted as she gritted her teeth and glared at the boy.

"Brother.....did you hear? She's confessing that she's going to kill your only little brother in the future!" Rylan cried out dramatically as he looked at Kaiden for help.

"Mr. Kim, please drag this idiot out of here," Kaiden ordered his secretary as he totally ignored his younger brother's aggrieved expressions.

His eyes landed on the girl who was staring at Rylan with a murderous look in her eyes as his men literally dragged the boy away from there.

A nearly discreet twitch appeared on his lips as he gazed at her side profile for a few seconds before he finally turned his attention towards Crist.

"I seriously apologized for today's incident. I will look into it and will soon provide you guys with an answer."

His eyes briefly glanced at the girl once again at the end of his sentence before he again returned his attention to her brothers.

Crist gave him a swift nod before he pulled Emily beside him, his hand securely wrapping around his little sister's shoulders.

"It's getting late. We will be taking our leave now." Mark said as he gave a quick nod to Kaiden before following his siblings out of the room.

Kaiden watched as the silhouette of the Alessandro siblings disappeared from the front hall of the building along with Jackson and his mate.

"Sire, here's the CCTV footage."

One of his men passed him the pen drive as soon as the Alessandros left the building.

Kaiden stared at the pen drive for a few seconds before he turned his attention to Secretary Kim who finally returned after locking Rylan inside one of their cars.

"What did you find out?" Kaiden asked as he too started walking towards the underground parking lot, followed by his men.

"Unfortunately, our men lost the track of the group of men in black. But one of them succeeded in getting his hands on one of their weapons. We sure will find some clues from it."

Mr. Kim starting reporting as he followed his boss.

"As for the elevator incident! It looked like someone intentionally disturbed the spells guarding the elevator, resulting in today's incident. It's like whoever did it was not trying to harm Miss Alessandro."

As Secretary Kim spoke the last sentence, he too got lost in his thoughts.

If he was getting the clues correct, then the men in black were after the Alessandro Princess!
