Safe and Sound
Who are they? Are they powerful? Why did they arrive here at the same time? How can they accurately
find the injured Elliot?
“Elliot, how could you let this nobody corner you?” Arthur asked as he stared at Aliona.
Under the gaze of the men, she suddenly felt that she was as insignificant as the blade of grass under
their feet. Her plan failed, and what awaited her would be a miserable ending.
“Arrest the group. I’ll deal with it later,” Elliot said in a deep voice.
Back in the home country, Anastasia sat before her son’s bed with red eyes while waiting for the news
that Elliot was safe.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Although there was an unknown number on the screen, she was still
excited and quickly picked it up. “Hello?”
“It’s me. I’m on my way home, and I’ll be there in seven hours.” A deep, familiar voice came from the
other end of the phone.
She finally burst into tears after hours of worrying. She covered her mouth and walked to the balcony.
“Okay, come back soon!”
“How is Jared doing?”
“He’s still sleeping.”
“You haven’t slept all night?” Elliot asked as he heard her hoarse voice.
“It’s okay. I can handle it.”
“You must get some sleep while I’m coming back,” the man ordered in a stern voice.
“Okay, I’ll do that,” Anastasia agreed willingly.
“See you back home.” With that, Elliot hung up.
Anastasia held her phone and sighed with relief. She relaxed and sat on the balcony sofa, thereafter
closing her eyes. Although only a day had passed, it seemed like a century for her.

Riley’s release procedure had just been completed in the police station. He then cracked and loosened
his muscles. He had been detained in the station for a long time, and he missed the outside world. His
goddaughter finally bailed him out.
Even though I don’t think her plan is good.
“Mr. Presgrave, you can leave after you sign this document.” The police officer came over with a
release note for him to sign.
Riley took the pen the police handed over. Before he could sign the paper, someone stopped him by
pulling his arm away.
He turned to look at the police officer and asked, “What are you doing?”
Captain Anderson came over and said with a sullen face. “Riley Presgrave, I just received a call from
Young Master Presgrave. You are suspected of being the mastermind of a kidnapping case. In addition,
your old case will be subjected to retrial. Get back to your cell!”
Riley visibly panicked, and it was unlike his usual calm demeanor. Did my goddaughter actually fail
again?
“Take him back. The procedure is voided,” Captain Anderson ordered.
Riley’s hands were cuffed once again and he was taken back to his cell. He looked back at the outside
world that was far beyond his reach, and he knew that he would never be able to escape his cell from
now on.
It turned out that he had underestimated Elliot.
…
Rey sent Anastasia back to Elliot’s villa. Although she was still a few hours away from seeing Elliot, she
couldn’t sleep anymore.
Besides a cup of coffee to keep herself awake, she never ate anything. Rey ordered the chef to cook
her a meal, but she only stared at the time on the phone.
“Miss Tillman, please eat something. President Presgrave will be so distraught if he sees you
malnourished!” Rey tried to persuade her.
Anastasia served herself a bowl of porridge. After taking a few spoonfuls, she asked, “When will he
arrive?”
Rey shook his head in response.”I’m not sure, but it should be around 3.00 PM.”
Two private jets landed at the international airport. Fifteen minutes later, four eye-catching black SUVs
were driving on the road.
They went straight to Elliot’s villa.
An hour later, the villa’s gate opened as the cars drove in.
Rey said excitedly, “Miss Tillman, President Presgrave is back.”
“Mr. Presgrave!” Jared ran out like a rabbit, and Anastasia followed suit.
She held his hand while waiting in the parking slot. Looking at the SUV which was similar to an
armored car, she waited for Elliot to alight.
