Chapter 1299
In the pouring rain, Romeo's henchmen held an umbrella over him, while others formed a human
barrier behind him, blocking Arabella's line of sight.
Almost instantly, the bloodcurdling scream of Mr. Elliot reverberated through the air.
Romeo discarded the bloodstained switchblade to the side.
Carl handed him a disinfectant wipe, and after Romeo cleaned his hands, he tossed that aside as well.
"You should consider yourself lucky that I only severed tendons in your hand. If any harm comes to Ms.
Bella, your whole family will pay the price."
Mr. Elliot's entire hand trembled with pain, his nerves screaming in agony that almost led to him
blacking out.
It was at this moment that he truly witnessed the ruthlessness of Romeo. His gentle, devoted, and
doting demeanor within the confines of the house was solely reserved for Arabella.
Outside, he remained as cold-blooded and brutal as ever.
Romeo glanced at his men, who quickly seized Mr. Elliot and forced him to move forward.
Taking the umbrella from his henchman, Romeo approached Arabella, drawing her into his embrace,
“Move closer. Don't get wet."
Upon seeing the man wrapping an arm around Arabella and slowly walking away, Gordon paused for a
moment before catching up with them.
In front, Mr. Elliot kept looking back, "Please, don't harm my family. I will tell you everything I know.
Please spare therm."
His family was his weak point.
But no one responded to him.
Romeo and Arabella continued forward, their silhouettes perfectly matched, causing Gordon's gaze to
darken even further.
The rain was relentless, keeping people indoors. Seven or eight black sedans were parked by the
street, Carl respectfully opened the car door for Arabella.
"Carl, take him to my uncle's place. Let him handle it, Arabella instructed.
"Yes, Ms. Bella."
As Arabella got into the car, Romeo followed suit. After Carl closed the door behind them, he looked at
Gordon with a puzzled expression, asking, "Are you with Ms. Bella?"
"Yes." Gordon was planning to hail a cab back home.
But the man in the car spoke up, "Carl, let him in."
Carl was surprised. Romeo was actually letting an outsider interrupt his time with Ms. Bella.
Without a second thought, Carl opened the passenger door, gesturing respectfully for Gordon to get in,
“Please."
Gordon obliged, getting into the car and looking towards the rearview mirror.
Romeo, holding Arabella, looked at her hand with concern, "Does it hurt?"
"This little scratch is nothing,” Arabella shrugged it off, laughing, "If you had been any more forceful just
now, I would have lost my lead."
"I know he's valuable to you, so I spared him. Don't worry. He won't die” Romeo reassured, still looking
at her hand, "Once he's of no use, he won't get off easy."
Gordon felt like he was seeing Romeo for the first time, as ruthless as rumors suggested.
"I missed you,’ Romeo whispered in her ear, "Did you miss me?"
"I've been busy lately” Arabella responded, causing Romeo to feel a pang of disappointment.
"I haven't missed you as much as before"
Her next sentence, however, brought a smile back to Romeo's face.
