Chapter 301


    Chapter 301 It Hurts


    She stepped on Elyse like how Elyse had stepped on her father just a moment ago.


    “Are you alright?” Leo looked at her.


    “Yeah.” Amelie patted Bria’s cheeks.


    Noticing the bruises on the little girl’s cheeks, Leo’s face fell, and the air around him filled with murder.


    “I… I-It’s not me… S-She bit me…” Elyse could feel the murderous intenting off Leo. Forgetting


    her pain, she shook her head, trying to weasel herself out of certain death.


    Leo didn’t shoot her. Not just yet. He closed his eyes and held his fury back. “You guys should leave


    first.” He didn’t wish to kill anyone when Bria was around.


    Amelie got the message and left with her family.


    Julia and Samuel had just arrived after Amelie and her family descended the mountain. “Elie, Bria, Mr.


    Dillon! You guys are hurt!” Julia’s heart went out to the family. She wanted to p herself. “I can’t


    believe I missed the hint. I should’ve realized the transaction was a cry for help! Samuel told me about


    it when he came back, and we rushed here as soon as we could.” Her eyes were tearing up.


    “It’s alright. Leo came just in time. We aren’t hurt that much,” answered Amelie. She glossed over the


    details in case Julia felt even guiltier.


    The act of using Starlight Media’s money was a cry for help, but she knew Julia might not get it. It was


    a matter of luck. Julia took Bria and touched her injuries, looking sad. She was on the verge of tears. “I


    won’t ignore this next time. I won’t miss your cry for help. No, wait. There won’t be a next time!”N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Meanwhile, Leo looked at Elyse coolly as he approached her. In fear, Elyse held her bleeding hand,


    backing off. Her eyes were fixed on his gun all the while. She was worried he might pull the trigger


    once she looked away. The gun was pointed at her chest. Even though he hadn’t shot her, she could


    feel something getting torn out of her chest. Elyse eventually backed herself to a boulder, her mind


    overwhelmed by fear and despair. Eventually, she had a meltdown and burst into tears. “I’m sorry, Leo.


    Please, have mercy on me,” she cried as she knelt before him.


    However, the man looked at her inscrutable, his eyes as calm as an undisturbedke. Slowly, he


    ced the gun against her head.
