Fake Heiress Reborn Drops Masks Finds Family (Noelle and Sebastian) novel Chapter 573

Several black-clothed guards stepped forward, lifted the stretcher, and carried it down from the platform.

Jasper lay on the stretcher, covered in blood and already unconscious, that faint smile still lingering at the corner of his lips.

Christine remained where she was, watching Floyd's retreating figure being pushed away, a bitter ache twisted painfully inside her chest.

Many years ago, she had watched him leave like this too.

Back then, she was still young and believed that as long as she became good enough, he would eventually look at her.

But he never did.

His eyes had always belonged to that woman alone. That woman betrayed him and ruined him, and he still couldn't forget her. What exactly is so special about her?

Christine clenched her fists so tightly her nails dug into her palms. Blood seeped through her fingers, but she couldn't feel the pain.

Hidden among the crowd, Lucas and Noelle both quietly let out breaths of relief.

"Thank God, somebody showed up. I seriously thought Jasper was about to get executed. I was this close to charging out there!"

Noelle said nothing, but her jaw stayed tense.

In that moment earlier, she had already prepared herself to rush out.

If Floyd hadn't appeared, she would already be standing in front of Christine right now.

She took a deep breath and was just about to speak...

When several hands suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed both her and Lucas by the wrists!

The person was incredibly strong and dragged them straight into a secluded alley. Neither of them struggled much, mostly because they didn't want to attract attention. Besides, Noelle had already caught that familiar woodsy scent coming from the man.

Once they reached a deserted spot, the man first loosened his grip on Noelle gently before violently throwing Lucas's hand aside.

"Ow!"

Lucas crashed flat onto his back. While rubbing his butt and climbing up, he opened his mouth to curse, but the second he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

The crater-covered face that looked uniquely horrifying.

It was that man.

He stood there with the light behind him, making the expression on his face impossible to see clearly, but his eyes burned bright, like flames tempered in fire.

He looked at Noelle, then at Lucas, his brows twisted tightly together as he spoke in a low voice, every word squeezed out between clenched teeth. "Who told you two to come here?"

Damn it.

The guy is obviously ugly as hell. Why are his eyes so terrifying?
