Chapter 259 This is How Close Protection Should Be Done

At the luxurious mansion of the Graham Group, a person from the Graham family headquarters named Karson arrived. He was tall and had a commanding presence. Undoubtedly, he was a powerful figure within the Graham Group headquarters.

Two muscular bodyguards dressed in black tight-fitting suits stood behind him. Their resolute gaze and sturdy physiques made it clear that they were not ordinary bodyguards but highly trained experts.

Facing Karson were Timothy and Arturo, both of whom appeared very nervous. Timothy was even trembling in fear.

"Timothy, as the person in charge of the Graham Group in Long Island, how do you take responsibility for the escape of the four important individuals under your watch and the failure to capture Sophia, given the magnitude of this incident?"

Upon hearing this, Timothy trembled and said, "Please give me another chance. I will make amends and bring Sophia back."

Timothy's face turned pale, and he was filled with fear and unease. He knew that once headquarters considered him expendable, there would be only one outcome- death.

"Do you think you still have a chance?" Just as Karson finished speaking, a red bloodstain appeared on Timothy's neck. One of the black-clad bodyguards held a small knife and licked the bloodstain on it.

Arturo shivered upon witnessing this, bewildered by the incredible speed and elusive techniques of the bodyguard. He had never seen anything like this before.

Timothy fell stiffly to the ground, completely lifeless. The chairman who had served for over ten years had died silently, a truly lamentable sight.

"From now on, I will take charge of the group here. Arturo, you will be my assistant!" Karson sat on the comfortable sofa and glanced at Arturo.

"It is my honor to serve you!" Arturo quickly expressed his loyalty. Karson seemed like a ruthless person, miles stronger than the weak Timothy. Moreover, the two black-clad bodyguards he brought along were also formidable.

"Have you found out where Sophia is?" Karson continued to inquire.

"There has been no news of her since the end of the concert. It seems like she has gone into hiding. However, I have managed to find out that she will be filming the second episode of the second season of 'Wilderness Life' on a deserted island outside Long Island next week. The filming will last for half a month, so we can seize this opportunity to catch her."

Arturo wiped his sweat and replied. Luckily, he had already found a clue before this. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to answer the new chairman.

"Great! I want you to handle it personally this time. As for manpower, I will assign my Hawk Team to you. If you fail again, you better come back with your head held high," Karson said with a hint of coldness.

"Understood! I promise to complete the mission," Arturo replied, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Very well!" Karson nodded with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, wearing a mask and sunglasses, Sophia was getting ready to go to a tourist attraction in the South district to shoot an endorsement advertisement for a famous domestic brand. It was arranged before her concert, and the endorsement fee was sky-high, not to mention the hefty compensation for breach of contract, so she couldn't afford to miss it.

Since she was going to shoot the advertisement, William naturally had to accompany her. The Graham family's people were currently searching for Sophia everywhere. If she wasn't protected well, she would definitely be caught.

"Kylie, you sit in the front passenger seat. Sophia and I will sit in the back. In case something happens, I can protect her right away." After Sophia got into the car, William asked Kylie to sit in the front passenger seat, while he sat next to Sophia.

"Okay, but you better not use protecting Sophia as an excuse to get close to her all the time," Kylie reminded him. In the past few days, William had been using the pretext of protecting Sophia to get close to her in various ways, which made Kylie quite unhappy.

"This is how personal protection should be. If something unexpected happens, William can protect me right away," Sophia defended William.

Since the night of the concert, when William risked his life to save her, Sophia had developed a crush on him. In addition, William also saved her grandfather and helped stabilize the situation for the Smith family, which made Sophia admire him even more. She even had a slight affection for him deep down, but she herself didn't realize it.

"Let's drive! The sooner we go, the sooner we can return." William shook his head. If he had ulterior motives towards Sophia, he would have already revealed his identity to her. As her fiancé, it would have been easier for him!

The shooting location was a tourist attraction under the Sullivan family group, but in reality, it belonged to the Brown family and was only being managed by Ralph.

After the car stopped, Sophia, under William's protection, got out of the car.

There were a lot of people at the entrance of the attraction. Luckily, Sophia was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so no one could recognize her for the time being.

"Let's go inside. They are waiting for us." Kylie was also wearing a mask and sunglasses. Nowadays, the paparazzi not only stalk celebrities but also target their managers, so she had to be fully prepared.

The three of them walked in together. William looked around and didn't find anything unusual, so they continued walking.

There were many people along the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river bay. The water was clear, and many tourists were even drinking the water from the river bay directly, showing how pure the water quality was.

After walking for about an hour and a half, they finally arrived at their destination. There was a crew waiting there, around ten people. This was considered a very luxurious advertising crew, as most advertising crews usually have only five or six people.

But as soon as they arrived, a person wearing sunglasses and holding a bouquet of flowers walked towards Sophia.

"Sophia, you finally came. I've been waiting for you here for a long time," the person said eagerly.

"Ronan, how did you know I would be here shooting an advertisement?" Sophia was surprised because her recent whereabouts were well kept, and only a few people knew she would come here for the advertisement.

"It's simple. My family has shares in this brand's company, and I recommended you as the spokesperson," Ronan said with a smile.

"I see. Then I won't do it." Sophia was angry. It turned out that everything was planned by Ronan. No wonder the endorsement fee was so high, nearly twenty million dollars.

Sophia knew Ronan very well. He often took advantage of female celebrities and engaged in various unspoken rules. His intentions were too obvious this time.

"You can choose not to do it, but you'll have to pay a penalty fee of two hundred million dollars. I advise you to think over it," Ronan said with a smile, as if he was confident that Sophia wouldn't refuse.

This endorsement required shooting on several sets. It wouldn't be over after this shoot. Therefore, Ronan could use the opportunity to get close to Sophia.

"You're shameless!" Sophia trembled with anger.

"I'm just asking you to shoot an advertisement. What's so shameful about that?" Ronan shrugged.

"Do you think I don't know what's on your mind?" Sophia was now in a dilemma. If she continued shooting the advertisement, she would be constantly harassed by Ronan. If she refused to shoot, she would have to pay a whopping 200 million dollars as penalty.

Just when she was at a loss, William suddenly walked up and said indifferently, "Sophia, it's just an advertisement. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, he won't be a shareholder of this brand company for long, so Ronan won't have any more excuses to harass you."
