Chapter 900 Eleanor initially thought this whole scheme was orchestrated by Elbert and Robin. However, after seeing Elbertâs clueless reaction and almost getting hauled off with the kidnapper, she quickly realized that Elbert wasnât in cahoots with Robin.
Feeling reassured, she asked Elbert, âDo you know how to get out of here?â
Elbert brimmed with confidence. He winked at Eleanor with his twinkling eyes and said, âJust follow me!â
As Elbert turned towards the electrical box, Eleanor quickly followed Passing the dinner table, Elbert nonchalantly picked up a steak knife and a freshly poured glass of wine.
He walked over to the electrical box, emptied his wine glass in ene gulp, and tossed the glass aside.
As the shattering sound echoed through the room, the lights in the café went out.
Before Eleanor could react, someone firmly grabbed her wrist, and a clear voice rang out above her, âCome with me.â
Elbert deftly navigated Eleanor through the throng, along a shadowy corridor, and out of the café through a service exit in the kitchen.
A motorcycle sat idle on the curb. Elbert swung onto the seat, handed Eleanor a helmet, and beckoned her with an outstretched hand âJump on!â
The sight of the motorcycle reignited memories of the perilous race between Elbert and Bernard. Eleanor quickly rebuffed him, âNo need, I can make it home on foot, itâs fineâ
There was no way she was getting back on that lethal contraption.
Caught halfway fastening his helmet, Elbert eyed her, âDidnât you mention needing to urgently see Ms. Vilpe? Why the sudden shift to walking?â
Eleanor realized her slipâup and quickly revised her response, âIâm anxious about Evelyn possibly snatching the kid. I need to get home right awayâ
Elbert was skeptical but patted the back of his bike, âYou can still ride with meâ

He glanced back at the cafe, âWith all the cops, your bodyguard may be held for questioning. Itâll take a while before he can drive you Riding with me would be quickerâ
Cornered by the cops and having no other options, Eleanor reluctantly climbed onto the bike with a forced smile.
Nathan, pinned to the ground by the police, saw a motorcycle shooting off like an arrow through the cafe window. His heart jumped into his throat.
Shit, Eleanor hadnât been kidnapped, but Elbert had been dragged into it. He could be mistaken for one of the kidnappers and taken to the station.
Nathan didnât know if Elbert could get back safely, or if he would be punished Inside Bernardâs car, Robin looked out at the darkness and his face turned grim, âBernard, what are you trying to do?â
Bernard, sitting next to him, flashed a rare friendly smile, âNothing much, just kidnapping you..â
When they turned into the suburbs, Robin realized Bernard didnât trust him at all and he dropped the act, âWhen did you figure it out?â
Bernard pulled a small knife from the glove compartment, wiping it down with a wet wipe, âBefore we walked into the café.â
Robin took a deep breath. He wasnât afraid of the knife in Bernardâs hand. He was just realizing how stupid heâd been, âIf I had known, I wouldnât have left the car outside.â
Bernard made a small cut on the knife with his fingertip, his face expressionless, âWhether the car was outside doesnât matter what matters is His voice trailed off, becoming dull like the wind on a cliff edge, giving a feeling of falling into an abyss.
Bernard paused for a moment, then looked up with icy eyes. As his gaze met Robinâs, the knife was at Robinâs throat, âWhy are you always after my wife? What are you really up to?!â
