197 Frightened
“Christian, I’m so scared.”
As soon as Christian gets there, she immediately runs towards him, ignoring Laras and the two big men.
Ella leans in Christian’s arms with a weak face and pleading eyes. Seeing Laras wanting to speak, she drew closer to Christian and pressed her body against the man. “It’s a good thing you came just in time. I was really scared to death.”
Ella’s scent wafts into Christian’s nose and her soft voice makes Christian’s eyes darken even more. He hugged Ella’s waist protectively and looked at Laras’ face with a cold gaze.
“You dare do this to my woman?”
Since earlier, Ella’s cell phone has been connected to Christian’s cellphone so that the man can listen to their conversation from the phone. The murderous urge in Christian’s heart intensified as he listened to that conversation.
And this woman beside him... He had just gone to a meeting for a while, why did she suddenly disappear?
The most important thing right now was that Ella was still safe. Nobody knew what would happen to her if Christian came late.
Unknowingly, Laras stepped back. There was a look of panic on her face.
.....
“Sir, it is not what you see. I was just joking with Miss Ella.” The woman’s expression was truly ugly. Who knew that Ella had such high luck?
If she had more time, one minute would be enough to destroy Ella.
There was a flash of madness in Laras’ eyes, but that look disappeared in an instant. She is currently dealing with Christian. She didn’t want Christian to see her like this.
“Master, you have to trust me. How long have I worked by your side?” Laras said frantically, watching Christian’s expression closely.
“Laras, I was going to let you go,” Christian said. Looking at the petite woman burying her body and face in his chest, his eyes softened.
He still remembers what Ella said earlier and doesn’t plan to kick Laras out of the company. But apparently, he raised wolves in his own house.
“I didn’t do anything wrong...”
Laras doesn’t dare to step forward, but she looks at Christian with fear.
She is afraid that if she loses her job, how will she survive out there? All this time, it was Christian who had made her life sufficient.
Christian is also the one who can starve her to death.
The two men beside her were also stunned, not knowing what to say. But they know that Christian is not someone they can fight.
Sweat ran down their foreheads as they complained why they had to have such a bad experience.
As soon as they were about to leave, Christian’s gaze fell on them.
“What did this woman order you?”
Laras’ face immediately paled. “I have nothing to do with them, sir. You have to believe in me!”
Inwardly, Ella sneered. Does Laras think Christian is stupid?
Inside the closed room, there were only a few people there. The two burly men were known as thugs on one of the streets. Hearing those words from Laras mouth, of course they would not be happy.
“What do you mean?” One of the men said. “I received money from you to carry out what you ordered. You also said that if you get caught, you will bear all the consequences. Why don’t you want to admit it now?”
“Nonsense!” Laras frowned and kept trying to dodge.
“What nonsense? You obviously told us to do it,” the man’s face became unsightly. Finally, he turned his gaze to Christian and said, “We really don’t know the relationship between you and this woman. We’re really sorry. Please let us go.”
Christian looked at them casually.
“Jason, take care of them.”
After saying that, Christian immediately averted his eyes.
Jason walked into the room with some bodyguards to take the two big men away.
Laras could only clench her fists tightly. Even if she died, she would not admit it. If she admits everything, it’s over.
Her future, her place in Christian’s heart, everything... Everything will come to an end!
“Sir, don’t you believe me?” She asked hopefully.
Ella lifts her head from Christian’s chest and looks at Laras. “Laras, I told you Christian would be mad.”
That means, Ella had already given Laras a way out, but Laras refused to take it.
Christian didn’t say anything, he just looked at Laras with a serious look.
Laras became more and more panicked. She wanted to explain everything, but she couldn’t say anything. The pressure that comes from Christian is so strong that it silenced her.
Ella continued. “You’ve done the same thing before, but you don’t seem to regret what you did and do it again.”
Ella did not feel the slightest pity for Laras. She had given Laras a choice but she didn’t accept it.
There was nothing Ella could do now.
“Ella! Don’t confuse Mr. Christian!” Laras trembled with fear in her eyes.
What should she do? What should she do now?
“What I say is not important. Everything depends on Christian,” Ella looked at Laras with a cold gaze.
That gaze made Laras want to go crazy.
“You bitch! I will make you suffer!”
“Shut her mouth!” Christian frowned when he heard a scream from Laras mouth. He didn’t want anyone to insult his woman.
He hugged Ella tighter. His gaze was a mixture of tenderness and concern.
“Are you hurt?”
Ella was surprised to hear Christian’s tone. She just shook her head. After knowing Ella was okay, Christian’s gaze turned sharp again. “When I get home, I will punish you.”
Ella’s hand gripped Christian’s shirt tighter.
She knew Christian was not a forgiving person. Even if she did nothing, she would still receive a punishment from him.
Two of Christian’s bodyguards were restraining Laras right now. One of them even treated her very rudely.
He took a cloth lying on the table and immediately stuffed it into Laras’ mouth. Two drops of tears immediately fell down Lara’s cheeks.
Actually, Christian wanted to ask Ella if she wanted to punish Laras and in what way. But he didn’t want to make Ella who was so pure in his eyes to stain her hands with blood.
Just let him do it on her behalf.
Christian stepped forward, walking slowly in front of Laras. He lowered his head and looked at Laras condescendingly. “Do you think I don’t know how many times you’ve plotted bad things to harm her?”
