Chapter 473 Bearing Him a Child
Rey felt relieved after that and immediately sent Elliot’s last known location to Arthur. The former knew that if Arthur and Richard intervened, Elliot’s chances of survival would improve dramatically.
Truth was, Rey was unsure of their identities because he had only seen them on the phone. Both of them were Elliot’s close friends who had been through life and death with him. Despite living quietly in some parts of the world, they had exceptional wealth and abilities.
Before Elliot left, he had instructed Rey to not contact these two guys unless absolutely necessary. But now, Rey was terrified of how things had turned out, and he had no choice but to enlist the duo’s assistance.
On Aliona’s yacht, she was sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at the man who was tied on the bed. She was unwilling to kill him, as she couldn’t bear the thought of him dying too.
“Elliot, if you listen to me and have a child with me, I can beg Father to let you off the hook. We can then spend the rest of our lives together.” After she finished her words, she approached him and raised his chin with her finger. Her gaze seemed to be questioning him.
Elliot, on the other hand, had a razor-sharp gaze that made anyone who looked at him nervous.
Aliona continued, feeling irritated, “Don’t look at me like that. If you want to live, you can only do what I just said.”
“You’re not qualified to have my child,” he replied coldly and turned his face to the side to break away from her fingers.
That made Aliona grit her teeth in rage. She looked at his angular brows and nose, and he appeared exceptionally wild and unruly to her.
But his personality was particularly appealing to her. He was so seductive that she couldn’t bear the thought of killing him.
“Do you really want to die, Elliot? Whether you want it or not, I’ll be pregnant with your child, and the child will inherit the Presgrave Group. Father will undoubtedly see to it!” Aliona yelled, as if she were insane. She then grabbed Elliot’s face and tried to kiss him hard.
However, he gave her a warning look, which terrified her.
Seeing that, she held back her urge of kissing him and reluctantly let go of his face. “What do you like about Anastasia? Am I not better than her?”
To that, he did not answer. Aliona was so incomparable to Anastasia that Elliot did not even see the need to answer her question.
‘You better think it through, Elliot, whether you want to let me get pregnant naturally or through the doctor’s method. Aliona then slammed the door and walked away after she said that.
Elliot closed his eyes, gauging how much time had passed. By now, Anastasia should have gotten Jared, and he felt relieved thinking of that.
As for his own safety, he figured that Rey had informed his two friends.
Elliot did not want to alert the two friends of his unless it was absolutely necessary. But, clearly, the situation now warranted that, and he would undoubtedly be mocked by them when he saw them later.
No, he reasoned. Instead of waiting for them, he decided to flee on his own when the opportunity arose in order to preserve his dignity.
…
A black helicopter was rising in a huge castle in Flor.
At the same time, the chairman seat in Yelina’s military meeting was empty. The man who was on this seat had left.
Anastasia was standing at the pier, her tears flowing as she looked at the yacht which was less than a hundred meters away from her. When the yacht arrived at the port, the bodyguard lowered Jared, and the boy immediately ran toward her.
“Mommy? Mommy!” Jared yelled while running, his eyes reddened.
The two of them then hugged each other tightly. Anastasia repeatedly kissed him, trying to make sure that he was fine.
But when she saw the red mark on his face, her heart ached, as if it had been stabbed with a knife.
“Who hurt your face?” she asked as she suppressed her rage.
“The evil woman! She even kidnapped Mr. Presgrave!” Jared answered with tears in his eyes. “Mommy, please save Mr. Presgrave. He’s in danger!”
“Rey is saving him. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to him. Let’s go back to the hotel first.” Anastasia carried Jared in her arms and comforted him. However, her words could not put herself at ease either.
