No sooner had their words been uttered than a black car pulled up in front of the studio.
Immediately after that, Caesar’s figure appeared in their sight.
Elaine hopped and waved at him, “Uncle Caesar.”
Caesar smiled and walked over, then looked at Sherry and asked, “Elaine, who is this?”
Elaine responded, “This is Sherry. She is Stella's friend.”
Caesar nodded at Sherry. He did not greet her much and said to Elaine, “Elaine, let’s go.”
Elaine took a step back and shook her head, “I have to ask my father first but he didn’t answer my call.
Uncle, can we leave next morning?”
Hearing this, Caesar froze, “What’s wrong, didn’t we agree this afternoon? Or do you think I’ll hurt
you?”
“No, no, I just think that it’s inappropriate to leave like this. I should tell my father first, so as not to worry
him.”
Caesar advised gently, “I’ll instantly contact your father when we arrive, is that okay?”
Sherry pulled Elaine to her side, “Mr. James, just wait for one more night, so that both Elaine and her
father can rest assured.”
Caesar looked at her, pushed his glasses and said indifferently, “The current situation is unstable. If we
delay for a night, bad things might happen tomorrow.”
Elaine said, “Then let me call my father again. He may pick up…”
As she spoke and just after she fished out her phone, several cars with high speed suddenly came
over to the roadside and surrounded the studio.
Almost simultaneously, Maxwell and his men immediately got out of the car to stop these people.
When Caesar saw this, he held Elaine’s hand and said urgently, “Elaine, let’s leave here first.”
Before Elaine could speak, she was yanked forward by him and her phone fell to the ground.
Sherry looked around and felt that she could not just let Elaine be taken away by him, so she hurriedly
followed and got in Caesar’s car.
The scene was so chaotic that it was not Maxwell and his men who stopped the group of people, but
rather, it was the group of people who were blocking the path between Maxwell and Elaine.
Their people could not get through and when they saw Elaine being brought to the car, he quickly said,
“Follow that car closely!”
But, the other party was obviously prepared. By the time they broke out of the crowd, Caesar’s car had
already disappeared.
…
The black car was speeding on the road. Elaine and Sherry were sitting in the back. Both of them were
scared and holding each other’s hands.
Caesar took a glance through the rear-view mirror, “They are not following us for now. We’re safe now.”
At this moment, Elaine’s entire scalp was numb. When one was in extreme danger, one would always
unconsciously seek security, especially when this person was the closest to her.
She swallowed her saliva and was overcome with fright, “Caesar, what should we do now?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take you out of City N now. As long as we leave City N, they won’t be able to catch up.”
Elaine was a bit bewildered, “We leave…City N now?”
Caesar was gripping the steering wheel, “Yes.”
Sherry’s voice sounded, “I can contact a friend. He can protect us.”
Whilst saying this, she opened her bag and took out her phone. She found Emmett’s number but
before she could dial it, Caesar slammed on the brakes out of the blue.
Sherry was not prepared and due to the inertia, her entire person lunged forward and the phone also
fell to the seat below.
Elaine also embraced the seat, “Caesar, what’s wrong?”
Caesar took a glance through the rear-view mirror, “Nothing, I saw a wild cat jumping out at the front
just now. It has already run away.”
The car started to move on the road again.
Sherry bent her body sideways, groping for the phone but she felt wetness under her skirt.
She froze and raised her hand. Her palm was smeared with blood.
When Elaine saw this, she was appalled. She quickly exclaimed, “Uncle Caesar, Caesar! Caesar! Drive
to the hospital!”
Caesar gripped the steering wheel and his voice was with some coldness, “Cannot.”
“Sherry is bleeding. She’s pregnant…”
Before Elaine’s words were uttered completely, the screeching sound of brakes sounded outside the
car.
About seven or eight cars forced them to come to a halt.
Sherry once again hit the back of the seat.
Elaine scrambled to help her, “Sherry, how…how do you feel?”
Sherry covered her abdomen with her hand and her face looked pale. She gripped Elaine’s hand
tightly, “I’m…fine. You go! Run!”
Just after Elaine helped Sherry to get out of the car, she saw people walking towards them from all
directions and surrounding them.
She suppressed her trembling voice, “Who…who are you?”
The man who was the leader answered, “Ms. James, we’re here to send you back to Riverside City.”
“You…you’re lying!”
The man was expressionless and merely said, “We don’t intend to hurt Ms. James but if you intend to
resist, we’ll have no way even though we may hurt you. So, please cooperate with us, Ms. James, so
as not to suffer.”
When Elaine was about to reply, Sherry spoke next to her with difficulty, “Don’t be afraid. It will be fine
when Maxwell and his men arrive.”
Elaine could not help but look down. Sherry’s dress was already stained with blood.
It would be too late if she still did not go to the hospital.
Tears welled up in Elaine’s eyes. She sniffed and sobbed out, “I’ll go with you but your target is me. You
mustn’t hurt my uncle and Sherry!”
Hearing this, the man who was the head looked at Caesar behind her and could not help but laugh,
“Sure.”
Elaine added, “Then you guys…you guys take Sherry to the hospital now. When we arrive at the
hospital, I'll go with you!"
Sherry grabbed her, “Elaine, you can’t go with them. It’s dangerous…”
Elaine whispered, “Sherry, don’t worry. I’ll find a chance to escape. Moreover, they’re using me to
threaten my father and my great grandfather, so they won’t hurt me.”
After saying that, she shouted to them again, “I want to take Sherry to the hospital, hurry up!”
The man who was the head did not have any reaction and just commanded his men, “Take Ms. James
to the car.”
Instantaneously, two people came and pulled Elaine.
Elaine struggled hard, “I said I agreed to your terms, but I want to go to the hospital first!!!”
“When Ms. James has left with us, someone will take her to the hospital.”
Amid the chaos, Sherry tried to help Elaine but was pushed to the ground.
Elaine’s eyes reddened as she watched this scene, “Sherry!”
She kicked and bit the two men who were pulling her but she still could not break free.
When Elaine was taken away, she looked back and saw Caesar standing quietly beside the car. Her
eyes lit up as if she suddenly saw the hope. She shouted, “Uncle! Uncle! Send Sherry to the hospital!”
However, Caesar was just standing there without moving.
