The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 639

“Offering yourself?” Mia was taken aback.

“Absolutely! When someone saves your life and shows such immense kindness, how can you not repay them more

significantly? How can you not show your gratitude to Mr. Jaber?” Ceci remarked.

As she spoke, she playfully winked at Mia.

Mia fully understood what Ceci was implying and couldn’t help but shoot her a glare, her face crimson as if she

could feel the blood rushing to her checks.

Ceci’s interference was only adding fuel to the fire!

It could jeopardize her friendship with Haylan if things didn’t work out.

Noticing Mia’s silence, Ceci let out a subtle sigh and lightly nudged Haylan’s shoulder. “Mr. Jaber, take a good look at

how stunning Mimi is. She’s undoubtedly the perfect match for you, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Miss Lawson, please refrain from causing any further disruptions. I am currently focused on providing medical

treatment to Mia,” Haylan stated, slightly frowning.

Ceci’s meddling was indeed complicating matters!

He and Mia were merely friends, and if their relationship hadn’t naturally evolved into something more, forcing it

could jeopardize even their friendship.

Ceci had further remarks on her mind, but a sharp look from Mia caused her to halt.

She recognized that pushing the matter further could jeopardize their relationship’s delicate balance.

And so five minutes later, Haylan concluded the treatment, effectively alleviating Mia’s leg cramp.

Haylan let out a sigh of relief and carefully lowered Mia’s legs. “Remember to warm up before swimming next

time.”

“Thank you,” Mia expressed tenderly toward Haylan, her face tinged with a blush as she modestly crossed her legs.

After being in such an intimate position with Haylan, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of self–consciousness. Her

face turned scarlet, and she found herself lost for words, unsure how to respond.

Haylan rose to his feet, casting a scrutinizing gaze at the two women. “I’ve pondered on the matter, and there’s no

need for you both to intervene with Nicholas. I’ll take care of it.”

Although Haylan had only crossed paths with Nicholas briefly, he could discern from his demeanor that Nicholas

was far from being a virtuous man.

Unless these two women possessed the clout to stand on equal ground with Nicholas’s influential family, any

attempt to confront him would be akin to throwing themselves into the lion’s den.

“No, I can’t allow that! I caused this whole situation, so it’s my responsibility to set things right!” Ceci insisted

urgently.

Haylan remained resolute. “This is beyond your ability to handle. It’s decided. You two stay clear of it. I’ll call

someone higher–ups, and I’m confident I can sort it out,” he declared calmly.

As he spoke, he leisurely lit a cigarette, taking deliberate drags.

“The higher–ups?” Mia and Ceci exchanged puzzled glances.

“Mr. Jaber, are you looking for someone from the Labenz family?”

Ceci shook her head, her voice filled with gravity. “Based on what I know about the Bennett family, even if you

combined all the members of the Labenz family, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the might of the Bennett

family.”

“The Labenz family won’t be able to resolve this!”

“While others might not be aware of Nicholas, she knew all too well about his family, the Bennett family.

The Bennett family, a legendary powerhouse, stood unrivaled among their peers, a force so commanding that

other families paled in comparison.

Haylan casually blew out a plume of smoke. “Being a security guard is merely a facade. If I were to disclose my

true identity, it would leave you both utterly shocked.”

“The real identity?”

Ceci and Mia locked eyes, their astonishment reflected in their gazes.

They turned their gaze back to Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, what is your true identity?”

Taking another drag from his cigarette, Haylan responded calmly, “That’s classified information. However, I assure

you that my higher–ups will resolve this matter.”

“So, there’s no need for you to worry!”

“Alright then, that’s all I have to say. It seems like you both are on the path to recovery. I have other matters, so I’ll

be on my way

Without hesitation, Haylan swiftly walked out the door, leaving no chance for Mia and Ceci to persuade him to stay.

“Mr. Jaber!”

Ceci’s face turned dismayed as she hurriedly chased after him, hoping to catch up and convince him to stay.

Regrettably, Haylan had disappeared without a trace,

“Really? Why did he run off so abruptly? Do we look like flesh–eating monsters or something?” Ceci stamped her

foot in exasperation.

She pouted and returned to the room, giving Mia a piercing look. “Mimi, you liked Mr. Jaber, didn’t you? Why are

you backing down now, of all times?”

Mia sat up, gazing in the direction where Haylan had disappeared, and let out a sigh. “I do like him, but sometimes

love is unrequited.

“He doesn’t like me!”

“Don’t say that. You’re stunningly beautiful, with a fantastic physique and a well–known reputation. You’re the

dream girl of countless men. How could he not be interested in you?”

“I can tell he doesn’t have any feelings for me, not even a hint of attraction.”

“No attraction at all? How is that possible? Look at you, in that swimsuit, with your incredible figure. Even I find

myself having inappropriate thoughts about you. If Mr. Jaber doesn’t feel that way, does it mean he’s gay?”

“What? He’s gay?

Mia’s jaw dropped in surprise, her face filled with disbelief. “Ceci, how can you say such things about Mr. Jaber?”

“He’s not even interested in stunning beauties like us. He’s not a normal man!” Ceci asserted.

“Don’t make baseless assumptions. Mr. Jaber is not like what you described,” Mia firmly countered.

Having been in the industry for a long time, she had encountered many people, including those with unconventional

orientations.

In her experience, individuals with such orientations often exhibited distinct traits, such as being exceptionally clean

or effeminate.

Haylan didn’t fit into those categories, so Ceci’s description didn’t apply to him.

Come on. I was sharing my thoughts. There’s no need for you to defend him like that. He hasn’t even expressed

any romantic interest in you. Are you ready to surrender yourself so quickly?” Ceci playfully remarked.

Mia shot Ceci a stern look but remained silent. Her gaze remained fixed on the direction Haylan had gone, her

expression filled with solemnity and sorrow.

As a major celebrity, she had experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, and she could gauge a

man’s interest in her from his eyes alone.

Yet, in Haylan’s gaze, she couldn’t detect that spark.

Haylan exited the villa and hopped into his car, driving away from the scene.

While driving, he dialed Zachary’s number and spoke into the phone, “
