A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1055

Matthias was pleased with everyone's response. With a wave of his hand, his men hastily captured Peter.

A flash of terror instantly appeared on Peter's face. "Let me go! You bastards have no right to capture me. Save me, Mr. Cadwallader! Save me, Patrick! Devin, Jett, please help me!"

The bodyguards beside him wanted to take action, but Matthias' men instantly tackled them to the ground and pressed their solid weapons against their chests. They were so terrified that they didn't dare to move.

At this moment, Peter was aggressively struggling to break free. Matthias gave a knowing look, and one soldier attacked Peter's foot, handcuffed him, and took him away.

Peter shrieked at the top of his lungs, but no one dared to stand up for him. Although they were prominent figures with influence, they didn't dare act recklessly before Matthias.

"Ian, please enjoy yourselves. Myra, please tell your father I said hi!" Matthias said his goodbyes to Ian and Myra before he left.

Then, he gave Jack a knowing look. After giving him a simple nod, he waved his hand and left with his men.

The moment Matthias and his men left, the suffocating air instantly dissipated.

Whispers and discussions finally erupted in the grand hall. All of them thought Matthias shouldn't have brought Peter away in such an aggressive manner.

However, these thoughts were merely lip service. No one dared to pursue him.

The expressions on Patrick's, Gerard's, and their men's faces turned pale. Peter's arrest was the mark of failure for them.

Although Patrick was furious, he couldn't explain why.

Meanwhile, Gerard was embarrassed by the entire incident. Even if he rose to power in the near future, his pride had suffered a huge hit. At least, those present in upper-class society knew that Gerard's hands were tied now.

Patrick and Gerard were at a loss for words, and the lackeys who supported them—like Devin, Jett, Yolanda, and Winona—were dumbfounded. Their jaws dropped, completely terrified by what had happened, and they were at a loss for words too.

Feena and Bella appeared shocked and puzzled.

At this moment, Jack seemed familiar to them, but there was a tinge of strangeness hidden within that familiarity. They were curious to know what happened to Jack.

Several days had passed since the incident at the charity gala in Tarthy City, and life in Tarthy City had returned to normal.

The charity gala that day was filled with media big shots, powerful families, and even political elites. They were figures who held some level of influence over Tarthy City.

Gerard couldn't control the media, but they could. None of them hoped that the drama during the charity gala would threaten the stability of Tarthy City.
