Chapter 295

What a poor little lamb! She was about to fall into a trap, and without realizing it, she still asked her

hunter for help.

Gerald was surely going to win.

He complacently watched his men as they surrounded Eliana.

But all of a sudden, the sound of a roaring engine filled the air, and a dark blue Ferrari raced toward

their direction and headed straight for Gerald’s car at breakneck speed.

The distance between the two cars was reduced significantly in seconds, but the Ferrari appeared as if

it was only speeding up more.

“Damn it! Avoid it! Avoid it!” Gerald shouted in fear.

Sean, who was driving for Gerald, was also frightened by the racing Ferrari. He immediately stepped

on the accelerator and drove away.

Gerald ran away, but his men were still there.

The Ferrari immediately veered off course and went after Gerald’s men.

“Run!”

Gerald’s men were scared out of their wits. Suddenly, they weren’t in the mood anymore to catch

Eliana. They hurriedly scattered in all directions, afraid that they would be run over by the Ferrari if they

didn’t move fast enough.

Eliana was also shocked by the sudden happenings. Her knees buckled, and she fell to the ground.

Just when she thought that the crazy driver of the dark blue race car would hit her, the Ferrari stopped

in front of her.

Then, a tall man stepped out of the car.

Eliana couldn’t open her eyes against the car’s bright headlights, which were shining directly on her

face. She raised her hand to block some of the light.

The car’s driver approached.

“Eliana, are you okay?”

His deep and hoarse voice sounded as if he had just finished a marathon.

What a familiar voice!

Raising her head, Eliana found herself staring into a pair of dark eyes. The blood in her veins suddenly

froze, and for a few moments, all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

“Pr… Preston?”

He still came.

Eliana lowered her head, her eyelids fluttering slightly and one of her hands clenching involuntarily. She

knew how disheveled she looked right now even without a mirror in front of her.

“Can you stand?”

When he saw the unharmed Eliana in front of him, Maurice felt his restless heart finally return to its

normal beating.

He squatted down, put an arm around her waist, and picked her up. He let her lean against his arms.

Reflexively, Eliana trembled all over. The moment Preston wrapped his arm around her waist, she felt

his warmth, and it made her blush.

She couldn’t help feeling lucky that her face was covered in dust right now. Otherwise, Preston might

have seen how red she was in the face.

Meanwhile, when Gerald looked back and didn’t find the Ferrari behind them, he finally realized that

something was wrong. He immediately ordered Sean to drive back.

‘It must be Maurice,’ he thought.

When they got back, Gerald saw a strange man helping Eliana, shocking and enraging him at the same

time.

Who was this man that suddenly appeared out of nowhere? How dared he ruin his good plan?

“What are you waiting for? Get them!” Gerald roared at his subordinates. “Don’t be afraid! He’s alone!

Teach that intruding bastard a lesson he’ll never forget!”

After a few moments of chaos, Gerald’s men surrounded Maurice.

The scene immediately looked like a setup for a melee.

Individually, none of Gerald’s men could defeat Maurice in a fight. However, they had a shot as they

outnumbered him. As a result, Maurice had to block consecutive attacks from several people while

protecting Eliana.

He eventually found himself at a disadvantage because of his injured left hand. He couldn’t exert as

much effort as he wanted, and it steered the tides to the enemy’s favor.

Feeling Preston’s difficulty, Eliana was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

But she knew that she wasn’t strong enough to help him. If she recklessly made a move now, she

would only distract him and make him lose the fight faster.

All she could do now was to try her best to dodge the attacks directed toward her and protect herself.

Seeing that the man who protected Eliana was about to be defeated by his men, Gerald smiled more

and more widely, as if Eliana and the man were captured already.

But before long, Sean suddenly shouted, “Bad news, boss! Look!”

Gerald turned his head, and the smile on his face got snuffed out like a candle in the wind.
