Chapter 19 Max had already driven himself to the location specified by the kidnappers. He got out of the car, lugging 20 million in cash into the warehouse, demanding the release of the hostages.
The big bad boss Monkey had a prominent scar on his face that made him look terrifying. He took out several stacks of cash, checked for authenticity, and his eyes sparkled with greed once he confirmed it was real money. "Mr. Velona, you're really loaded. If you'd csooner, Ms. Horigan wouldn't have suffered." He signaled his men, and they immediately released Orlena.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter getting her freedom, Orlena immediately threw herself into Max's arms, crying, "Max, why did you only cnow? I think I broke my leg... it hurts so much... they said they would assaultif you didn't come..." Max held her, comforting her. But his eyes were fixed on Eloise not far away.
Eloise struggled hard, but her mouth was gagged, unable to say a word. She knew Max. For power, sacrificing Eloise meant nothing to him! Max kept silent. He watched as Eloise's hope faded from her eyes as she struggled...
Monkey laughed evilly on the side, gently prodding Eloise's chin with a knife. "Mr. Velona, this woman is so beautiful, she's worth at least 200,000 dollars, right? You're already so rich, why not just save her too, or she'll be in big trouble." 200,000 wasn't unbearable for Max. But he couldn't fork out that money. Harvey had already begun to suspect him, he couldn't risk Orlena also suspecting his relationship with Eloise! If Orlena found out and broke off their engagement, his years of hard work would go down the drain.
Faced with power and love, Max chose power.
Max didn't dare to look at Eloise's hateful eyes, so he turned around and said coldly, "I don't know her. Why should I save her?!" Eloise had already anticipated this cruel and heartless ending. Her eyes bechollow. Tears slid down from the corner of her eyes.
Max was really heartless! Max pretended not to see. He held Orlena and walked towards the car outside, Orlena pulled him gently, whispering, "Is this really alright? If she gets assaulted, Landon will be really heartbroken." Max didn't answer, but lightly pressed on her leg.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOrlena cried out in pain again, "It hurts... Max, taketo the hospital quickly." Max put her in the car. When he stood up, he took one last look at the warehouse. "Eloise, don't blme!" Max started the car and left immediately. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would regret it! In the bandoned warehouse.
Monkey spat out a glob of spit and cursed, "What a worthless piece of shit, not even worth 200,000! Well, then we'll have to enjoy her ourselves." He told his men to get moving, "Don't forget about the real deal while you're having fun!"
The thugs were excited. They had never seen such a beautiful and m enticing woman, to be honest, she was even prettier than Max's fiancée... how happy they would be if they could have her!
Eloise's eyes were filled with fear. And her heart was filled with hatred! If it had been in the past, she would haye hoped for Max to show mercy, but now, all she had for Max was hatred! Just as the thugs were about to make their move, a crisp sound rang from the corner of the warehouse.
The thugs were startled! Who was it?
Harvey was leaning against the gray wall, toying with a lighter in his hand. His demeanor, was Noble and his face O handsome, dressed in designer suits, a stark contrast to the dilapidated warehouse. He smiled and said, "Ms. Laurent, every tI see you, you're always in trouble. What's up with that?" Eloise was stunned. She slowly turned her head and saw Harvey walking towards her. At the stime, countless alarms sounded around them.
At this moment, she had never been so grateful to him!
