She hurriedly stopped in her tracks and got back into the car.
By now, Robbie had carried Eloise out of the entrance to the community.
The girl was unconscious by now and nestled in his arms. Her little face looked delicate and beautiful as she slept. At least, she wasn't as defensive as she was awake
Her small and charming features were as beautiful as a painting.
She looked exactly the same as she did six years ago.
At that time, she was well-behaved, controllable, and easy to manipulate.
But now...
The thought of her disobedience, mockery, and disgust for him was unbearable to Robbie. The tiny bit of guilt that had risen in him vanished in an instant.
"Open the door." He ordered in a cold voice to the two bodyguards at his side.
On command, they took two steps forward and opened the back seat door.
Robbie bent down, put Eloise in the car, and then got up.
But then he heard a loud 'bang' in his ear.
He hurried to look up and saw his bodyguard being kicked off and slammed into a car not far away.
Robbie froze and turned his head alertly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an approaching man...
He didn't even have time to see it before he felt a hard blow to his abdomen.
The person coming in was aggressive and kicked him as soon as he approached.
The kick almost displaced his internal organs. He crumpled to the floor in pain, huffing, and puffing.
...
The man who came was Hector.
He had come to pick up Eloise for dinner, as promised. But on his way here, he received a call from Rupert, who said that there was an emergency at the office. He had to wait for him to come and join him first, so he was a few minutes late in coming here.
But he had never expected to see this scene before him!
Hector only felt furious to the extreme. It was as if his treasure had been stolen from him.
His eyes froze especially when he saw that the girl was unconscious. He looked at Robbie like he was looking at a dead man.
"Mr. Gardner!"
At this point, the other of Robbie's bodyguards finally reacted. He was about to step forward to protect Robbie.
But he had just taken two steps when his collar was clutched from behind. A careless voice came out, "Dude, I advise you not to go up there and get yourself killed! You're no match for him."
The bodyguard in black was quick to react this time. He swung backward with a punch.
The man behind him, however, seemed to have anticipated his attack and easily dodged it with a stagger. Moreover, he raised his hand, grabbed one of his arms, and yanked it hard.
The bodyguard lost his balance and lunged at him.
Rupert smiled wickedly, bent his knee, and drove it into his abdomen ...
The black-clad bodyguard screamed miserably, then fell limply to the ground. His body bent into a shrimp.
"How dare you come out as a bodyguard with that kind of skill, huh?"
Rupert clapped his hands disdainfully and shook his head in disappointment.
At this point, Robbie had barely recovered from the excruciating pain when he watched Eloise being carried out of the car.
Hector carefully checked her condition and was relieved to find that she had only been knocked unconscious. But there was a storm brewing in his eyes.
How dare Robbie hurt his woman?
Hector's eyes were dark. He took Eloise in his arms and stepped in front of Robbie.
