    Chapter 410 Fearful


    At Bane’s order, the man beside him finally broke into a triumphant smirk. He looked up,


    his gaze resting on Victoria across from them. Suddenly, he waved his arms, shouting,


    “Come on, guys! Seize Miss Selwyn and her kids back for our boss!”


    The moment he put up his hands, Victoria sensed something was wrong. Just before


    she could speak, ric wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered, “Let’s go.”


    She hurriedly took Nathan by the hand as they turned around together.


    “Stop them!” yelled Terrance in a manner untypical of his usually cultured demeanor


    before he quickly caught up with them. They had foreseen this beforeing here. If


    both sides were to get into a fight, their first priority would certainly be to take Victoria


    away before anything else. Still, somebody had to stay behind to deal with the


    aftermath.


    Seeing those men charge toward Bane’s underlings, Victoria also figured out their


    intentions. Before she could respond, however, she was shoved into the car, followed


    by Nicole and Nathan. Then, Terrance quickly hopped into the passenger seat. Just


    when she thought ric would leave with them, she found that instead ofing with


    them, the man had been standing where he was after getting her and the kids into the


    car.


    Her gaze fell upon his face. She asked worriedly, “Aren’t youing with us?”


    “Terrance will escort you to a safe ce.”


    Victoria’s beautiful eyebrows snapped together. ‘What about you?”


    “I’lle to you once I’m through dealing with the stuff over here.”


    Victoria bit her lower lip, unable to say a word. What am I supposed to say? Can I ask


    him to go with me? “You-”


    No sooner had Victoria’s lips parted than ric suddenly bent down before her eyes.


    He kissed her slightly parted lips, his hand holding the back of her head.


    “Mmm!” Victoria was caught unprepared by the kiss. Then, realizing what was


    happening, she unconsciously tried to push the man away. Just then, he backed away


    on his own, but instead of leaving, he pressed his forehead to hers. “Wait for me,‘ he


    whispered in a husky voice before rxing his grip on the back of her head. After that,


    he ordered Terrance, “Protect her and my kids.”


    Terrance nodded. “Please rest assured, Mr. Cadogan. I’ll protect Miss Selwyn–even at


    the cost of my life.”


    With that, ric shut the car door with Victoria watching.


    Leaning over the car window, Victoria watched ric’s face disappear into the distance


    until she couldn’t see him anymore.


    “Don’t worry, Miss Selwyn. Mr. Cadogan will be fine.” Terrance’s voice rang from the


    front in an effort tofort her.


    Victoria bit her lower lip, which seemed to still have the scent of ric’s kiss on it. How


    could she not be worried? The scene was turning into a fight with weapons, plus they


    were in a foreign country. What if some of these men had guns? She had thought that


    she would be relieved after being rescued, so she never thought she would remain in


    fear after that.


    Perhaps due to their blood connections, the two little ones also sensed her anxiety.


    They held her hand simultaneously. “Mommy.”


    At this moment, however, all Victoria could do was manage a forced smile at them. “I’m


    fine. We’re safe now,” she said, taking them into her arms. She closed her eyes, knowing


    that she was only saying so tofort them. In reality, she was worried to death.


    Compared to her, ric was in much greater danger against Bane. Bane wouldn’t hurt


    her, but what about ric? In short, she dared not even think about it. All she could do


    was hope that he woulde back safe and sound.


    Chapter 410 Fearful


    A whileter, Terrance’s phone rang. “Hello? Yeah, we’ve picked up Miss Selwyn. She’s


    in the car right now.”


    417


    At the mention of her name, Victoria looked up at Terrance. “Who is it?”


    Terrance handed the phone directly to her. “Miss Selwyn, it’s your best friend Miss


    Jones.”


    Hearing that it was Summer, Victoria immediately picked up the phone. “Summer!”


    “Victoria!” Summer sounded even more agitated than Victoria. “ric found you atst!


    Sorry, our car broke down on our way there. What bad luck! It totally held up our


    opportunity to save you! Thankfully, ric found you.”


    Their car broke down? No wonder I haven’t seen them until now. “Where are you right


    now, then?”


    “Oh, we’re okay. The devil is here, so he’ll deal with it. I just happened to get through to


    Mr. Levane on the phone.”


    “Good to hear that.”


    “I’lle to you when I get back.”


    “Alright.”


    577


    The two hung up after talking for a while. With her car broken down, Summer was also


    in trouble right now.


    After returning the phone to Terrance, Victoria asked, “How did you guys find me?”


    Terrance put away his phone before exining in a soft voice, “Actually, Miss Jones


    had been sending us information the whole time. We hurried here after getting word of


    you staying at a hotel, but when we arrived, we didn’t know where exactly you were. It


    was Miss Jones who continued to call us afterward and let us know about it.”


    “I see.” Only now did Victoria understand what had happened. As it turned out, ric


    had arrived here long ago; it was just that she didn’t get in touch with him. She had


    thought that he wouldn’t show up because he wasn’t answering the phone when she


    had previously tried to call him. Because of that, she dared not try to call him for fear of


    wasting the hard–earned opportunity to ask for help.


    Terrance seemed to know what she was thinking. Just when she thought about this, he


    asked right away, “Miss Selwyn, why didn’t you call Mr. Cadogan?”


    “I did, but he didn’t answer the phone at the time, did he? I was afraid of wasting the


    opportunity. After all, as you probably know, I wasn’t in a safe situation at the time.”

    Terrance rubbed his nose in embarrassment at her reply. “Well, you’re right. It’s true that


    Mr. Cadogan was wrong for not answering your phone call at the time. That being said,


    Miss Selwyn, allow me to put in a word for him. He didn’t answer your phone back then


    because he flew out of the country as soon as he figured that something might’ve


    happened to you.”


    “Is that so?” asked Victoria. Well, he doesn’t have to lie to me since they’re already here


    right now. “So, when I called you guys, you guys were-”


    “We were on the ne.”


    At hearing this, the grudge in Victoria’s heart vanished. Indeed, she was bothered by the


    fact that he didn’t answer the phone as soon as she called him and hadn’t been heard


    from since because he was nowhere to be found when she needed him. But now, after


    being told that he didn’t answer the phone because he was on the ne, she finally got


    over it.


    Terrance continued, “Mr. Cadogan has been worried about you. After getting off the


    ne, we went out looking for you right away, so we didn’t manage to answer the


    phone when Miss Jones called us in the middle of it. Well, it was our fault for not being

    thoughtful enough, but Miss Jones roasted Mr. Cadogan after that. Now, whenever he


    gets a phone call, he’ll answer it immediately.”

    “Summer roasted him?” Victoria felt rather amused at hearing this. She never expected


    Summer to be so bold, though her heart warmed at the thought of her mustering up the


    courage to reprove the man. As expected, my bestie is the best person in the world.
