“Stop right there!” A bodyguard aimed his gun at Olivia.
“You can take my life, but please spare the child. However much money Sharon is paying you, the child’s parents can give you a tenfold increase.” Olivia nervously rattled in Ustranasion.
The bodyguards simply ignored her. One of them walked over and held her by her hair before giving her two violent slaps across the face.
She fell to the ground as blood oozed out of her nose and mouth. Even then, she held Ellie close to her and dared not let go. In Ustranasion, she uttered, “Her mother is the second-largest shareholder of the Lindberg Corporation and her uncle is the legendary Mr. Lindberg. Her father is Zachary Nacht of the Nacht Group. If you have the audacity to even touch her, you will be sure to die a terrible death.”
“Please. She’s our trump card. Of course, we won’t be hurting her. As for you? You’re getting in our way.” A bodyguard fished out his gun and held it against Olivia’s temple. “Die!”
Olivia shut her eyes in despair.
“Stop it!” Just then, an arrogant voice sounded.
The bodyguard halted in midair and turned to look at the source of the voice. “You’re letting her stay alive? Until when?”
“They’ve already located us. If you fire the gun, it’ll only attract them.” Sharon cast Olivia a scornful look. “Take the child. We’ve got to leave.”
“Alright.” The bodyguard stepped forward to grab Ellie.
“No, don’t touch her.”
Olivia held onto Ellie tightly, refusing to let go.
The bodyguard used all his might to pry open her hand, to no avail.
That incensed him. He brutally smashed the gun against Olivia’s forehead.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Blood began to pour from her head onto the ground after the three impactful hits.
Olivia’s whole body finally fell to the ground, but her hands were still tightly encircling Ellie.
“Ms. Peyton. Ms. Peyton!”
The ruckus jolted Ellie awake. She immediately burst into tears. However, because of her frail state, her voice was extremely hoarse.
The bodyguard attempted to grab Ellie once again, but he was unsuccessful. Annoyed, he struck Olivia’s head with his foot three times.
Olivia had long lost the energy to resist, yet she resolutely endured and held onto Ellie with her last ounce of energy.
Ellie’s face was splattered by blood and she was utterly petrified. All she could do was wail in fear.
Olivia’s energy was crumbling even further.
The bodyguard continued to kick Olivia’s head.
All of a sudden, Ellie lurched forward and covered Olivia’s body. With her croaky voice, she cried out, “Don’t kill her. Please.”
The bodyguard instantly stopped in his tracks. He glanced at Ellie with his brows furrowed.
A smidge of emotion flashed in Sharon’s eyes but it was quickly replaced by aloofness. Without any emotion, she instructed, “Hurry. Make it quick.”
The bodyguard reached out to carry Ellie only to be bitten by her.
The pain was trifling, but the sound of a car approaching from a distance told them that their enemy was nearing.
In a hurry, the bodyguard violently flung Ellie aside.
The motion was so great that her head hit the corner of the wall. Her head immediately began bleeding profusely.
“Ellie…”
A bloodied Olivia crawled over to Ellie with all her might and embraced her.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Sharon fumed.
The bodyguard shook his arm to get rid of the blood and fished out his gun to kill Olivia.
Just then, to his utter horror, a bullet punctured his wrist. The gun in his hand clattered onto the ground as he screamed in agony.
The other three bodyguards instantaneously scurried to hide.
Sharon rushed forward to carry Ellie and prepared to board the car with the bodyguards’ protection.
Then, a Jeep furiously charged at them at top speed, sending their vehicle straight into the wall.
Slam! Just like that, their vehicle became a crushing mess.
The bodyguard who was at the driver’s seat instantly died while the other two fell from the vehicle. Before they even had the chance to resist, they were caught.
With Ellie in her arms, Sharon quickly got up and pressed the gun against Ellie’s head. She yelled, “Go ahead. If anyone dares to harm me, I’ll shoot right away.”
