Chapter 343 Unexpected Reunion
As she ran, she suddenly stumbled on a rock and tumbled to the ground, hitting her knee on the ground and leaving a bloody mess.
“Stop struggling and just give in.”
Rayan sent her a contorted smile and was about to pounce on her when he was pushed to the ground.
“Who was it?! Who touched me?!”
Rayan was aching with pain from his fall, and he lifted his head just to see an angry Yelena. Instantly, his eyes lit up. The young girl in front of him looked even more innocent and adorable than Elspeth, and the two seemed to know each other. At that thought, his mind fell into the gutter, and the corners of his mouth uncontrollably lifted into a wicked smile.
Meanwhile, Elspeth was stunned and speechless by the sight of Yelena. Why is Yelena at a place like this? she wondered frantically. Behind Yelena, there seemed to be a man silhouetted against the sunlight. She could vaguely tell that it was Max.
“Are you mad? Max, didn’t I tell you to look after Yelena? Why did you bring her to a place like this?”
Most importantly, they showed up at the worst possible moment when her life was at stake, and she had just offended Rayan, which meant that they would be classified as her accomplices. Elspeth’s heart was filled with unease. Glancing at Rayan’s lustful expression, she instantly knew what he was playing in his heart.
After being singled out by Elspeth, Max could not muster the courage to say anything, and he seemed awkward as well. If Yelena hadn’t thrown a tantrum to meet Elspeth after coming to Eden to participate in Fashion Week, he wouldn’t have turned to Arthur out of desperation and arrived at this place.
“Elspeth, I just missed you. Everyone was saying you were dead, but I never believed it. You’re so smart, so I figured you must’ve hidden the fact that you were alive from everyone else. In the end, I had to ask everywhere to get news of you!”
Yelena was too blinded by her joy of finding Elspeth again and didn’t seem to notice the incoming danger.
“This girl really is pretty…”
Yelena heard Rayan’s voice, but she couldn’t speak Edenese, so she could only growl at him in Charish, “What the hell are you mumbling about?”
Although she couldn’t understand him, she knew what he was planning with a single glance.
However, Max understood everything, and his expression instantly darkened. “Who are you, and why are you coveting my fiancée?”
Max emanated an extremely pressuring aura, and his features resembled Callum, who had visited Adler Residence just yesterday, which greatly displeased Rayan.
“Fiancée? Anyone who comes to me is mine. How dare you try to steal from me?” Angered, he instantly ordered, “You lot, capture them!”
There were only three people on their side, and Yelena was simply a deadweight. In order to minimize the casualties, Elspeth instantly gave in. “Don’t you lay a finger on them! This has nothing to do with them. If you want to capture someone, capture me.”
Rayan sneered. “That won’t do. Since you value them so much, they must be very important people to you, right?”
She had taken away something important to him by deceiving him, so it was only right he took someone important from her as an eye for an eye.
“Both of them have way greater backgrounds than me. If bringing trouble to the Adler Family is what you want, by all means, kidnap them.” Despite Elspeth’s airy tone, Rayan was thoroughly convinced.
She had a point. After all, this matter had nothing to do with the other two, and he had no idea who they were. In the first place, he had already broken his father’s rules by sneaking out.
