Chapter 343


    Elspeth looked behind as her pursuers closed in and inexplicably felt a wave of panic. She knew that if


    she fell into their hands, things would not end well for her.

    As she ran, she suddenly stumbled on a rock and tumbled to the ground, hitting her knee on the


    ground and leaving a bloody mess.


    “Stop struggling and just give in.”


    Rayan sent her a contorted smile and was about to pounce on her when he was pushed to the ground.


    “Who was it?! Who touched me?!”


    Rayan was aching with pain from his fall, and he lifted his head just to see an angry Yelena. Instantly,


    his eyes lit up. The young girl in front of him looked even more innocent and adorable than Elspeth,


    and the two seemed to know each other. At that thought, his mind fell into the gutter, and the corners of


    his mouth uncontrobly lifted into a wicked smile.


    Meanwhile, Elspeth was stunned and speechless by the sight of Yelena. Why is Yelena at a ce like


    this? she wondered frantically. Behind Yelena, there seemed to be a man silhouetted against the


    sunlight. She could vaguely tell that it was Max.


    “Are you mad? Max, didn’t I tell you to look after Yelena? Why did you bring her to a ce like this?”


    Most importantly, they showed up at the worst possible moment when her life was at stake, and she


    had just offended Rayan, which meant that they would be ssified as her aplices. Elspeth’s


    heart was filled with unease. ncing at Rayan’s lustful expression, she instantly knew what he was


    ying in his heart.


    After being singled out by Elspeth, Max could not muster the courage to say anything, and he seemed


    awkward as well. If Yelena hadn’t thrown a tantrum to meet Elspeth aftering to Eden to participate


    in Fashion Week, he wouldn’t have turned to Arthur out of desperation and arrived at this ce.


    “Elspeth, I just missed you. Everyone was saying you were dead, but I never believed it. You’re so


    smart, so I figured you must’ve hidden the fact that you were alive from everyone else. In the end, I had


    to ask everywhere to get news of you!”


    Yelena was too blinded by her joy of finding Elspeth again and didn’t seem to notice the iing


    danger.


    “This girl really is pretty…”


    Yelena heard Rayan’s voice, but she couldn’t speak Edenese, so she could only growl at him in


    Charish, “What the hell are you mumbling about?”


    Although she couldn’t understand him, she knew what he was nning with a single nce.


    However, Max understood everything, and his expression instantly darkened. “Who are you, and why


    are you coveting my fiancée?”


    Max emanated an extremely pressuring aura, and his features resembled Callum, who had visited


    Adler Residence just yesterday, which greatly displeased Rayan.


    “Fiancée? Anyone whoes to me is mine. How dare you try to steal from me?” Angered, he


    instantly ordered, “You lot, capture them!”


    There were only three people on their side, and Yelena was simply a deadweight. In order to minimize


    the casualties, Elspeth instantly gave in. “Don’t youy a finger on them! This has nothing to do with


    them. If you want to capture someone, capture me.”


    Rayan sneered. “That won’t do. Since you value them so much, they must be very important people to


    you, right?”


    She had taken away something important to him by deceiving him, so it was only right he took


    someone important from her as an eye for an eye.


    “Both of them have way greater backgrounds than me. If bringing trouble to the Adler Family is what


    you want, by all means, kidnap them.” Despite Elspeth’s airy tone, Rayan was thoroughly convinced.


    She had a point. After all, this matter had nothing to do with the other two, and he had no idea who they


    were. In the first ce, he had already broken his father’s rules by sneaking out.


    “Fine, I promise you, but you have to follow us obediently,” Rayan reluctantly agreed. With his eyes, he


    signaled the two people next to him to avoid Yelena and Max and capture Elspeth instead.


    Elspeth tilted her body to avoid the two men from grabbing her hands.


    “Don’t touch me. I can walk by myself.”


    Yelena was near tears as she anxiously shouted, “Elspeth, don’t go with them!”


    However, Elspeth only looked at them coldly. “It’s none of your business where I choose to go.”


    After that, she turned around and sent Max a meaningful look.


    Rayan watched impatiently as they exchanged goodbyes. In the end, his patience ran out. “Enough


    chattering. Let’s go. Stop wasting time here.”


    Soon, a ck car sped over and stopped steadily in front of the two. After instructing the people around


    him to shove Elspeth into the car, Rayan followed suit and got in as well. The car soon started and left,


    leaving only a cloud of smoke and dust in their wake.


    “What should we do, Max? He took Elspeth away!” Yelena asked frantically. She had traveled miles to


    see Elspeth only to watch her being taken away right before her eyes. She was nearly losing her mind.


    “Don’t worry.” Max forced himself to calm down, then sent her a stiff smile. “It’s okay, Elspeth knows


    how to protect herself. Still, let’s tell Callum about this first.”


    Taken aback, Yelena asked, “Callum is in Eden too?”


    “Yes. Earlier, Elspeth looked at me and mouthed to look for Callum.”


    Instantly, Yelena leaped to her feet and pped him. “Then let’s hurry up and go! If we dy any


    further, I’m scared that the old pervert will do something to Elspeth!”


    Max nodded, and he got into the car with Yelena while calling Callum before starting the engine.


    Callum soon answered the phone in an exhausted voice. “What is it, Max?”


    “Callum, something happened to Elspeth!”


    Upon hearing that, Callum instantly jolted awake and asked, “What did you say?”


    “Elspeth was taken away by someone in the red light district earlier. I heard her say something about


    the Adler Family…”


    Callum had figured out most of what was going on by then, and he inhaled deeply in an attempt to


    control his anger. “I got it. Hurry up ande back from that ce now, and stay in your hotel.”


    “Okay.”


    After a simple exchange, they both hung up. Callum’s expression darkened the moment he heard the


    news, and he immediately grabbed his jacket and headed for the door. He was going to go to the Adler


    Residence and ask Andreas what exactly his darling son was up to!


    …


    On the other hand, Elspeth was in the car, feeling dazed and drowsy. If her guess was correct, the car


    must have beenced with knockout gas in advance, and they had all taken the antidote. Fortunately,


    Sonny was always forcing her to consume all sorts of homemade healthcare products in the past,


    saying that they could enhance her immunity, or she would have passed out by now. Her hands and


    feet ended up being tightly bound, and now she was practically amb to the ughter.
