Sebastian Ford’s declaration was both domineering and possessive.
He didn’t mind exposing his affair with Eleanor Valerius in front of Evan Donovan.
From a distance where he still couldn’t get close, his gaze deeply locked onto her.
Fortunately, this ti he wasn’t late.
"Don’t be afraid."
These two words softly yet heavily struck Eleanor Valerius’s heart.
Suddenly, all the fear and grievance in Eleanor Valerius’s heart spiraled out of control.
"Sebastian..."
Ti and again, he was the dawn that ca to save her!
Eleanor Valerius really wanted to go to him, but her body struggled and was powerless.
Seeing the red wine on her, Sebastian knew what she had just gone through, and a nacing aura gathered in his eyes.
"Evan Donovan, you wanted to see . I’m here. Let’s talk."
Sebastian stood at the door, subtly observing the situation with the Donovan Family’s bodyguards inside.
"Master Ford, did you co alone?"
Evan Donovan dared not let his guard down.
"Of course, as Eleanor Valerius is in your hands, I wouldn’t act rashly."
Sebastian looked worried, appearing indeed threatened.
But, how could that be possible!
Considering Eleanor Valerius’s life was at stake, he would absolutely not take any risks.
Wayne Wainwright was waiting with the police for news, as Evan Donovan was now a wanted criminal.
To deal with him, it was best to use the pretext of police pursuit, avoiding openly involving the Ford Family.
Nathan Kendrick, together with Ford Family bodyguards, set up an ambush around the place.
They weren’t worried about Master Ford fighting alone; no one here could harm him in the slightest.
But Eleanor Valerius was a hostage in Evan Donovan’s hands.
Sebastian had to save her by entering the lion’s den.
"I really didn’t expect it, Master Ford! You’re actually Eleanor Valerius’s lover!"
Like he had caught so leverage, Evan Donovan burst into an arrogant laugh.
"No, actually, I had suspected it. That ti at the hospital, you protected her; you two weren’t just distant relatives. Master Ford, truly worthy of the Family Head of the Ford Family, you didn’t even spare your nominal niece. No one else knows about this, right?"
"It’s not exactly sothing to be proud of; apart from you, no one else has discovered it."
Sebastian seed to expose his weakness, going along with his words.
At that mont, Eleanor Valerius looked unusually pale. How could her relationship with Sebastian be made public!
Could it be, he had other plans?
Evan Donovan, who was deceived, vented all his resentnt from jail ti.
"Master Ford, now that I know your secret, what will you offer to save this woman from ?"
"Don’t hurt her! Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you."
Sebastian slowly approached.
anwhile, Donovan Family bodyguards moved into a state of alert.
Thinking Sebastian was truly alone, Evan Donovan’s overconfidence in numbers left him vulnerable.
"As long as Master Ford is sincere, we can talk. I want the Ford Family to compensate my family with three projects worth over one billion each. Also, the Ford Family’s influence in Aethelgard should clear my na, right? My grievances require you, Master Ford, to personally hold a press conference and apologize."
Evan Donovan was practically making outrageous demands.
"Okay."
Sebastian agreed without hesitation.
He approached Eleanor subtly, searching for an opportunity to save her.
Eleanor guessed his intention and wanted to cooperate, but she couldn’t stand up, surrounded by the Donovan Family bodyguards.
"You agreed so readily?"
Evan Donovan was shocked, thinking he had underestimated Sebastian’s concern for Eleanor.
So, he laughed and pushed further, "That’s not enough. I want you to give half of the Ford Family’s shares!"
An eagle-like smile appeared in Sebastian’s eyes.
"Ha, why don’t I just give you the entire Ford Family, would you like that?"
Hearing this, Evan Donovan suddenly couldn’t laugh. Realizing the danger, he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"Get him..."
The words weren’t finished.
Sebastian had already made the first move!
His priority was to eliminate the threat beside Eleanor.
The Donovan Family’s bodyguards were caught off guard; no one could withstand the fierce onslaught from Third Master Ford.
A fight broke out instantly!
Evan Donovan, in a fit of rage, threw the red wine bottle in his hand at Eleanor.
Eleanor could only watch helplessly, unable to avoid it.
But, suddenly, Sebastian’s figure appeared in front of her to shield her.
"Sebastian!"
The bottle shattered on his shoulder and neck.
Sharp glass fragnts tore his clothes, pierced his body, and he started to bleed.
Suddenly, Sebastian turned, lifted his leg, and with a personal grudge, he viciously kicked Evan Donovan.
The familiar pain of being kicked further confird to Evan Donovan that Sebastian was indeed the lover!
"Quick! Capture Eleanor Valerius as a hostage to protect ..."
The Donovan Family’s bodyguards still had the advantage in numbers.
Soon after, Eleanor Valerius was lifted and rushed out of the abandoned house.
Sebastian followed closely behind; he also needed a hostage for the exchange, so he set his sight on Evan Donovan.
"Nathan, leave no one alive!"
"OK!"
Nathan Kendrick acknowledged through his earpiece.
At that mont, he and the Ford Family bodyguards lay in ambush, sniping precisely to eliminate the Donovan Family bodyguards.
The sound of gunfire penetrated the night, bringing the stench of impending death.
"There’s a sniper, find cover!"
The Donovan Family’s bodyguards who erged beca shooting targets.
The situation turned!
Evan Donovan was being beaten one-sidedly, struggling desperately to escape Sebastian’s clutches.
His bodyguards were dwindling; a choice had to be made.
"All of you, protect as we leave."
The Donovan Family’s bodyguards abandoned Eleanor Valerius to escort the young master.
At this mont, Eleanor fell to the ground, the surrounding sll of blood triggered her nausea.
Sebastian didn’t pursue; instead, he hurried back to Eleanor’s side imdiately.
He picked up the trembling Eleanor and headed to the car, but the remaining threats had to be addressed.
"Wayne Wainwright, leave the cleanup to the police."
At that mont, only two cars with Evan Donovan and his bodyguards were fleeing frantically.
Simultaneously, police units were dispatched, sirens blaring in pursuit.
Sitting in the car, Wayne Wainwright, noticing the increasing distance, instructed through his earpiece, "Nathan, slow them down."
"No problem."
Nathan Kendrick aid his sniper rifle at the car’s tires.
With a "bang," a high-speed tire blowout would cause the vehicle to lose control.
The car driven by the Donovan Family’s bodyguards rolled over and crashed, frightening Evan Donovan.
He had already consud a lot of alcohol. Following the tire burst, he jerked the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to lose control at high speed, break through the guardrail, and plunge down a steep slope, triggering an explosion.
With a "boom," the erupting flas lit up the night.
Having narrowly escaped death, Eleanor curled up in Sebastian’s arms as he untied the thick ropes binding her.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No."
Her voice was hoarse and trembling.
Suddenly, Sebastian, as if recovering sothing precious, held Eleanor tightly, his hot, heavy breaths falling by her ear.
Slling the blood, Eleanor reacted and urgently asked, "Are you seriously injured?"
"It’s nothing, just a scratch."
Sebastian stroked her hair gently, smiling with a hoarse voice, "Your lover is still quite useful. In the future, don’t easily ntion breaking up; try using different thods. It’s not so easy for you to wear out."
Eleanor couldn’t even muster a smile. Leaning into his embrace, she faced a torrent of emotions she couldn’t control.
What to do...
How was she supposed to stop herself from falling for Sebastian!
At this ti, Wayne Wainwright returned and knocked on the car window.
"Is the Donovan Family dealt with?"
Sebastian frowned, not wanting Eleanor dragged into this.
Previously, his inaction had allowed the Donovan Family to seek revenge.
"Evan Donovan escaped from prison and was pursued by the police. In his drunken escape, he crashed his car. This will be the official version after the police complete their investigation. Your na won’t appear in the news, nor will it involve the Ford Family. Even if the Donovan Family investigates, they won’t uncover what happened tonight."
Wayne Wainwright paused, then added, "However, you’ll need to have soone go to the police station to give a statent."
Evan Donovan kidnapped her; she couldn’t completely stay out of it.
Fortunately, their affair wouldn’t be exposed.
But Sebastian wasn’t happy; the idea of being a secret lover was tornting him.
He realized that his feelings for Eleanor had gone completely out of control.
Is this goddamn love?
