Chapter 1154
After realizing the seriousness of the situation, the bodyguards took off after the thief in no time.
Only one bodyguard stayed with Ellinor, guarding her.
Baber burst into tears. He was scared out of his wits, and Veronica was panicking. “Ellinor, are you hurt?”
Ellinor shook her head, “I’m fine. You go check on Grandma; she must be scared out of her skin! Go comfort her!”
“Oh, okay!” Veronica scooped up Baber and hoofed it over to Marissa.
As Ellinor watched Veronica and Baber fade into the distance, she turned to the bodyguard by her side and said, “Help me over to the fountain for a breather.”
“Sure. Easy does it.” The bodyguard carefully assisted Ellinor to the fountain, “Ellinor, is this spot okay?”
“Sure.” Ellinor nodded in agreement and was about to sit down when suddenly, she gave the bodyguard a shove, sending him tumbling into the fountain.
By the time the bodyguard got up, Ellinor had made a break for it.
“After her! Ellinor’s on the run!”
The standby bodyguards immediately sprang into action from the car and began giving chase.
And just then, a few girls dressed just like Ellinor appeared in the crowd.
What a mess!
The bodyguards couldn’t tell which one was Ellinor.
So they split up, chasing after every suspect.
“Halt!”
The lead bodyguard spotted Ellinor getting into a black van and quickly gathered his men to block the vehicle.
The driver honked his horn, rolled down his window, and asked, “What the hell are you doing?”
The lead bodyguard came forward with a hard-nosed attitude, “Get Ellinor out of the car.”
The driver was visibly annoyed, “Ellinor? Who’s Ellinor? There’s no way she’s in our boss’s car!”
The lead bodyguard did not waver. “I saw it with my own eyes; Ellinor got in your car. If you don’t let her out, we’re not letting you go!”
The driver was fuming, “You guys stopped my car for no reason, and now you’re trying to strong-arm me? Who the hell are you?”
Just then, the car window rolled down, and Chase, with a smirk on his face; appeared. “You guys trying to play hardball? I’d love to see what you can do!”
Recognizing Chase as the one who visited Ellinor at home the day before, the lead bodyguard eased up a bit.
“Mr. Larios, we know you’re friends with Ellinor, but you can’t just whisk her away like this! Please let Ellinor out of the car!”
Chase raised an eyebrow, chuckling, “Ellinor? I haven’t seen her around here; if I knew she was, I would’ve said hi.”
‘Mr. Larios, we all saw Ellinor get into your car.”
“You must have been mistaken; she’s not in my car.
