Chapter 279

Chapter 279 He Would Always Protect her Looking up at his cold face, Eliza felt unsettled. “Are you going to meet him?” There was rising white smoke between them and she failed to figure out his feeling through his eyes He just answered in a low voice, “He hurt the woman I love. I must catch him.”

Eliza thought that he was going to do that for her, so she looked happy as well as a bit shy. “Actually, he hasn’t hurt me. It doesn’t matter.” “You just need to tell me where he is.”

Sensing the anger and coldness in his voice, she said in a daze, “I, I don’t know where he lives. I just know that recently he has lived in a room in Sandom Club”

“What’s his room number?”

“880,” replied Eliza instantly.

As soon as Eliza finished speaking, Owen stood up. His face changed. Although he still looked cold, he was no longer the one who cared about Eliza. “Lucas!” He shouted.

Lucas pushed the door open and said, “Got it. I am going there.”

Eliza was stunned. What are they doing? Isn’t Owen here to save me?”

Looking at the screen, Hailey said, “Brook!”

“I know what you are thinking. I am arranging for some people to get there.” He began to contact others. He knew that Eliza wouldn’t be set free today and the emergency was to catch “Mr. Joe” in Sandom Club.

Hailey didn’t want to wait in the ward any longer. She stood up to change her clothes. But when she almost closed the laptop, she heard Eliza shouting with disbelief, “Owie? Why are you leaving? Aren’t you here to save me? Don’t go, please ”

Owen looked back at her. There was no care or love in his eyes. He smiled faintly. “Thanks for your cooperation.” Then he strode out of the room.

Now Eliza realized that it was all his acting and he had never planned to save her. All he did was to get Mr. Joe’s information from her.

And the woman he loved was not her, but Hailey. “Oh, no!” She couldn’t accept the truth and tried to run out of the room. But soon she was caught by a cop. Struggling with all her strength, she yelled hysterically, “You are a liar. How could you lie to me? We have experienced a lot together. How could you do that to me?”

Hailey closed the laptop slowly and it was quiet again. Recalling what happened in the interrogation room, she smiled. “Good acting.”

As soon as Brook asked the driver to start the car, Hailey got in. Brook looked at her in a panic. “Hey, why are you here?”

“I must go with you.” Putting a knife behind her waist, Hailey bent down to tighten her shoelaces. Her hair was tied up with a rubber band and she looked neat and clean, ready for a fight.

Sizing her up, Brook said, “So you just left the ward without hesitation. Karl and Ryan would definitely punish you.”

“Oh, I guess they will beat you hard. But it doesn’t matter,” said Hailey, who raised her eyebrows at Brook and asked the driver to start the car Brook’s eyes widened. He doubt whether he had misheard her. “What? Beat me?”

“Yes. You know, they will never beat me.” She tilted her head for some stretches and then patted Brook’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. Karl and Ryan will just scold me and I can appease them by turning the charm on them. You are the one who will receive the punishment. God bless you.”

Brook said, “You are such a bad sister!”

“Yes, I am,” Hailey admitted.

“I want to cry. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?” Brook complained.

When they arrived at Sandom Club, they saw a total mess there.

There were police, firefighters and reporters crowded around the club.

Hailey got out of the car with a frown. Although her phone in her pocket kept ringing, she didn’t notice that. The noises, especially the whistles, were almost deafening, together with people’s talk.

“What a bad year. A club got burnt days ago and this time, Sandom Club also caught fire. What’s going on?”

“No, Sandom Club didn’t catch fire. It was just mischief”

“But it was closed, wasn’t it? It is said that the club is involved in a bomb case and three people died.

The bomb exploded in a suburb. It’s so temifying”

“Sandom Club has long been peaceful. How would it catch fire? Even the police are here.”

“I was told that someone set fire. The police are here for the criminal.”

“Oh, the three rich guys are so unlucky”

Hailey looked up to observe the fire and found it on the eighth floor. Her eyes were full of coldness. ‘So he managed to escape again?” Owen and Lucas arrive earlier. After knowing what was going on, they insisted on going upstairs but the firefighters stopped them. They regretted getting there too late and came out of Sandom Club grim-faced.

“Hey Owen, is that your ex-wife?” Lucas nudged Owen.

Owen looked up and saw Hailey standing in the crowd. She was raising her head to see Sandom Club clearly. Her figure was so slender with an air of aloofness and loneliness. He suddenly felt sorry for her and wanted to hold her in his arms right away.

Looking up at the building for a long while, Hailey felt her eyes sore and noticed someone tall and strong next to her. She moved her gaze from the club to the man near her. Staring at Owen, she asked, “He escaped?”

“Yes” Owen felt upset and apologized, “I am sorry. I came here so late.”

“Well, that’s not your fault.” She shook her head. “He’s my enemy and you have no responsibility for that.”

But to Owen, the more politely she treated him, the sadder he felt. He knew that “Mr. Joe” was the culprit who once kidnapped Hailey and died, but now he came back for revenge with a different look. He wants to hurt Hailey again! I won’t allow that to happen.” He was also clear that the kidnap that year left a scar in Hailey’s heart and she hadn’t overcome it yet. Clenching his fists, he decided to tell her that he would do his best to protect her.

However, before he opened his mouth, a man rushed from the crowd fiercely with an iron bar in his hand. He was going to hit Hailey’s head with the bar.

“Watch out!” Owen’s eyes widened. He held the back of Hailey’s head with one hand and shielded her from the bar which then hit Owen’s head with a bang.

Hailey couldn’t see what happened but she felt that Owen lost his strength and then she saw the blood coming out of his head.

Closing his eyes, Owen fell to the ground women
