Chapter 343 Unexpected Reunion

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 uncontrollably lifted into a wicked smile.

Meanwhile, Elspeth was stunned and speechless by the sight of Yelena. Why is Yelena at a place 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 place 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 classified as her accomplices. Elspeth’s

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

playing 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 after coming to Eden to participate

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

“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 incoming

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 planning with a single glance.

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 who comes 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 you lay 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 place, 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 black 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 slapped him. “Then let’s hurry up and go! If we delay 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 and come back from that place 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 been laced 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 a lamb to the slaughter.
