Chapter 284 Let Her Go
That was the truth
3&tam Saan cim down, she’ll see the photo of Mr.
Patrick and
the Blossom Square.”
Stella’s mouth twitched. That fast!
“You’re really not giving anyone time to breathe, huh?”
Tessa said. “Hah! Do you even know who I’m doing this for? I’m very clear about who’s close and who’s not. I’m helping your
mom.”
Stella fell silent. Is this really helping? It’s more like stirring up chaos.
But honestly, it was the kind of chaos she liked.
t of O
Yeah, we’ve got to admit our mistakes and know who’s family and who’s not. Stella said, her tone carrying a hint of schadenfreude.
She spoke as they walked toward the main building.
Suddenly, a shadow flickered across the snowy ground under the lights. Stella’s chest tightened.
Her instincts went on high alert. Before she could react, a cold gust of wind hit her from behind.
Stella moved fast. She hurled the phone in her hand straight behind her
The shadow dodged, then charged straight at her. Stella quickly stepped aside.
But the person was too fast. They pressed in step by step, and soon, Stella was forced into a fight. Alarmed, she shouted, “Help! Someone!”
Seeing her call for help, the attacker had originally wanted to toy with her, but now went straight for a takedown
He grabbed Stella’s slender wrist and twisted it behind her back.
“Come…”
Before the word was even finished, a large, hot hand clamped over her mouth.
Meanwhile, Abraham was leisurely smoking a cigar, watching Eddie work himself to exhaustion.
Then, he thought he heard Stella’s voice.
In a flash, he stood up and turned, striding outside with long, fast steps.
Abel paused in surprise at his sudden urgency, then quickly followed.
Shella struggled.
But the man easily restrained her. “Star”
The voice in her car was one she hadn’t heard in so long but knew down to her bones. It made her breath catch.
Her eyes widened in shock, a storm of rage, fear, and confusion swirling within them.
She thrashed like a madwoman.
Not far off, movement could be heard–someone was coming.
She forced her eyes open and saw Abraham turn the corner.
Their eyes locked, and Stella struggled even harder.
The man let out a low chuckle. “Star, you’re so disobedient as always
As he spoke, his hand chopped down sharply on the back of her neck.
Stella’s struggle stopped instantly, Darkness closed in, and all strength left her body. She went limp.
She barely heard Abraham’s furious roar. “Derrick, how dare you!”
It wasn’t far.
Derrick spoke into his earpiece, then….
Bang!
Glass shattered. Gunfire erupted across Seaflats Cove.
Furious Abraham pulled a cold weapon from his waist and aimed it straight at Derrick, who was holding Stella under his. –
“Put her down!” he barked.
But Derrick just used Stella’s unconscious body as a shield. “Do you want to see what’s stronger–your bullet or her body?”
Rage flickered in Abraham’s eyes,
He looked at Derrick–calm, but seething with deadly intent.
Derrick clearly saw the veins bulging on Abraham’s hand.
He grinned, amused and satisfied. “Did you forget? When your dad was still alive, he promised her to me. I’m here to pick up my fiancée. What’s wrong with that?”
“Let Her Go. Abraham growled each word through clenched teeth.
Abel also raised his gun, pointing it at Derrick. He glanced at Abraham instinctively.
Abraham, usually deadly precise, now hesitated with Stella’s life hanging in the balance.
His eyes were as sharp and cold as broken ice.
Outside, the sounds of chaos grew louder.
Derrick smirked darkly, then tossed a smoke grenade.
Boom!
He vanished into the haze, carrying Stella with him.
Abraham and Abel gave chase
But with visibility gone, they dared not fire recklessly
The roar of a helicopter circled above Scallats Cove
Abraham’s fury had reached its breaking point.
