Chapter 173
“That’s a relief” Collin heaved a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Ms. Mendoza, Mr. nchet
would be hopping mad.
From the moment today’s incident happened. Collin noticed that Mr. nchel’s concern for Ms.
Mendoza had far surpassed the definition of a contract marriage.
Mr. nchet cared about Ms. Mendoza. A lot.
“Mr. nchet, there’s a thunderstorming up. The helicopter can’t take off! I’ve arranged for a car
nearby. It’s here now Why don’t you get Ms. Mendoza in the car first?”
Upon hearing this, Ellinor realized something. So they came by helicopter No wonder they arrived so
fast!
Theo then ordered “You stay here and wait for the police to arrive. Make sure they nab those guys no
one should slip through the!”
Collin nodded, “Yes, Mr. nchet, III see to it!”
After giving instructions to his subordinate, Theo picked up Ellinor, turned around, and strode toward
the car ahead.
Collin followed behind with an umbre…
Ellinor felt a bit awkward. “Theo, I’m not hurt, I can walk…”
As she spoke, she tried to wriggle out of his hold…
Theo’s strong arm tightened, gripping her securely, and warned, “Don’t move! Keep fidgeting and I’ll
dump you in the ditch!”
Ellinor stopped moving immediately, rolled her eyes and pouted. This guy’s good side doesn’tst more
than three seconds!
Theo ced Ellinor in the passenger seat, then personally buckled her seat belt…
The two were very close to each other.
Ellinor felt ufortable, instinctively tried to fasten the seatbelt herself, but identally yanked Theo
who was bent over her….
Pulled by her, Theo’s chin naturally rested on her corbone Turning his head, his lips unintentionally
brushed against her fair neck…
Theo’s throat went dry with heat. He swallowed, released her, and straightened up.
Due to the previous contact, Ellinor turned her face away in embarrassment, blinking awkwardly…
After Theo stood up straight, he stood by the car door and stared at her for a while, his gaze burning

At this moment, she looked oddly attractive.
Then, Theo reached out to close the car door for her, loosened his tie in annoyance, walked around the
front of the car to the driver’s seat, and got in.
It was pouring rain, and the car was driving on a country road, the windshield wipers swinging back and
forth…
The two people in the car were silent, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Clearing her throat, Ellinor asked, “Theo, didn’t you say you wouldn’t care about me and let the
kidnappers do whatever they wanted? Why did youe looking for me?”
Theo nced at her. “You heard that?”
Leaning on her hand and looking out the window, Ellinor pouted andined, “Yeah, I not only
heard it, I also think you were being really mean!”
Theo gazed at the road ahead, his voice deep as he exined, “If I had shown any intention to save
you then, those people would have been more cautious and might have tortured you in the cruelest
way to provoke me. Moreover, this matter had to be handled secretly, we couldn’t let anyone know.
Otherwise, more and more people would want to kidnap you to threaten me in the future. Even after
our rtionship ends, you wouldn’t be able to live a peaceful life.”
Yeah, that’s the truth!
Theo’s status was unique, and there must be plenty of people who wanted to find his weaknesses to
manipte him.
Ellinor sneered, propped her cheekzily, turned her head to look at Theo, “So, you do realize that your
actions can cause trouble for other people
Her eyes were challenging as she spoke, her lips red, her teeth white….
Theo’s eyes turned bloodshot, his throat even drier. Just a quick nce at her stirred a strong urge
from within, his whole body frembling.
As a grown man, he knew exactly what this feeling meant.
Suddenly, he mmed on the brakes!
Ellinor was thrown forward by inertia, then yanked back by the seatbelt, leaning back in her seat, her
face full of surprise, “What are you doing?”
‘Get out!” Theo said coldly
Ellinor was dumbfounded, her face full of confusion, “Why? It’s raining outside! What did I do wrong?”
