The one they called Casper smiled disdainfully and said, “Isn’t she the mother of Eugene who should’ve been dead for a long time now?” They knew Eugene very well but still dare to come after him like this?
“Since you know that much and still dare to do this, have you thought about what will happen to you all?” The man sneered, “Ha, you worry too much!”
The men behind Ellen remained fearless, but the man holding the knife at Ellen was the real problem. Jewel knew she had to think of some way to attract their attention. Silently, she inched toward the side next to the cabinet that held various small objects like photo albums and vases. Then, she signed at Alex, ‘Distract them while I save her.’ ‘Don’t rush this. Someone’s coming soon, he signed back.
As they became confused after watching the two of them sign to each other, Casper pushed the knife closer to Ellen’s neck again with blood. coming out this time, to which Ellen cried out in pain. Then, Casper said viciously, “What are you talking about? If you two don’t want this woman to die, then you better behave yourself.”
Having said that, he ordered one of the men to tie Alex up, as he was more dangerous thant Jewel in their eyes. Jewel was fuming with rage but couldn’t afford to act rashly, so she could only clench her fist tightly. It was the same for Alex as well. “Don’t you want me as a hostage? Can’t you use me instead of her?”
“Enough with your nonsense,” Casper said. With his hands raised, Alex walked over to them in cooperation. “Alex, don’t come over here. Leave, just leave me be!”
At this point, Ellen couldn’t help but shed tears as she couldn’t bear to drag these children down with her. With a ruthless face, Casper reached out and yanked her up before punching her in the stomach and said, “Shut your damn mouth.”
The punch caused Ellen to bend down in pain. Meanwhile, Alex discreetly gave Jewel a look before he attacked the man in front of him. Just like this, he managed to gather Casper’ attention.
Just then, a picture frame was thrown at Casper, which he instinctively dodged to the side. Upon realizing that he had left Ellen’s side, he hurried back to her side once more.
However, there were various small ornaments flying at him in the next second. Since the distance was too close, he didn’t manage to dodge them all this time and suffered an injury to his nose: Feeling the pain, he held his hand over his nose. Just as he still hadn’t finished processing the pain, he felt a violent kick on his chest. In just the blink of an eye, several hits landed on him. Nonetheless, even after he had fallen to the ground, Casper still managed to give his orders. “G-Get them!”
At that, around five men swarmed toward Jewel, who had shielded Ellen behind her at this time. Ellen grabbed Jewel’s arm and said, “Jewel, b-be careful!” “Outside!” Jewel said in an attempt to ask her to leave.
Ellen understood what Jewel was asking of her, so she ran hastily toward the door. Then, Jewel kicked the door shut before engaging with the men. Nevertheless, with about eight men here, there was bound to be a smarter one in the group. When he saw that Ellen had left, he took advantage of the fact that both Alex and Jewel were engaged right now to chase after Ellen. Their target of assassination was her after all.
