Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 59

He had driven over to pick Eliza up, but the moment he stepped out of his car, he was greeted by a scene that nearly stopped his heart.

He stood frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

Perhaps feeling the scorching glare, she instinctively turned to look.

She immediately took a step back, maintaining a safe distance from Julian.

Watching her retreat, Julian almost laughed out of exasperation.

He had naturally seen Zander approaching long before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately tucked her hair behind her ear.

Zander suddenly tossed his umbrella aside and charged up the steps into the pouring rain.

Completely ignoring Julian standing right there, he grabbed Eliza's wrist in a fit of lost control.

"Zander! What are you doing here! What do you want now!" Eliza gasped in pain, her brows furrowed as she tried forcefully to shake him off.

But Zander clamped down on her with a death grip, his eyes filled with madness and bitter reluctance.

He roared hysterically.

"Eliza! Are you so determined to divorce me because of him? Is that it!"

"Zander! Are you out of your mind!"

"Let go!" Eliza struggled to pull her hand back.

"Don't touch me!"

Instead of letting go, Zander yanked her even harder toward him.

"Eliza, I finally understand why you're so hell-bent on a divorce. You already had your next target lined up, didn't you? Huh? You're coming home with me right now to explain everything."

He dragged Eliza unreasonably, trying to pull her out into the rain.

But before he could take a single step, a hand swiftly locked onto his wrist.

Julian's gaze had turned ruthlessly cold. "Didn't you hear her tell you to let go?"

"Who the hell do you think you are to interfere with my family affairs!" Zander seethed, stung by the utter contempt in Julian's eyes.

But prioritizing her best friend's safety, she shoved her inner gossip down.

She reached out and pulled Eliza firmly behind her.

Lifting her chin, she fired away mercilessly. "What's the matter? Didn't drink enough seawater, so you came out here to bark?"

"Your wife? Have some shame, Zander! When you abandoned Eliza in the ocean, why didn't you remember she was your wife then?"

"When you were all lovey-dovey with your precious Yvonne, why didn't you remember she was your wife? Drop the devoted husband act!"

"Pathetic!"

Zander's face turned a mixture of pale and sickly green.

"Gwen! This is between me and Eliza, it's none of your business!"

"I'm making it my business, so what? Bite me!" Gwen rolled her eyes dramatically.

Just then, the passenger door of the Audi slowly opened.

A calm, composed man stepped out, holding an umbrella.
