Chapter 165 Trap Unlocked
“I did this to keep you from hurting yourself.”
Elias fell silent.
Moments later, Elias let out a low, uncontrollable groan. The air grew thick with tension.
Before long, Gideon arrived with a new suit. He shot Elias a look of quiet sympathy.
Stella’s custom–made gown was one of a kind. There was no replacing it.
Stella sat on the sofa wrapped in a towel, staring at her dress with a frown.
‘You ruined it. You fix it. I want to go watch the drama.”
Elias smiled at her puffed–up cheeks and pinched them gently.
‘Sorry you had to go through that, baby. I’ll handle it.”
And so, the proud, pampered Elias began ironing her dress.
Stella,
The dress looked as good as new.
u tired?”
idn’t take long. I’m fine.”
Elias had no reply.
“Next time, I won’t stop even if you beg.”
Stella only slammed the bathroom door shut.
She stared at the faint marks covering her skin.
Thankfully, they weren’t visible below her neck.
She touched the diamond necklace at her throat.
When she came out, Elias handed her a glass of water.
“Gideon just said the person in the bedroom is taken care of.”
“Okay.”

Stella felt disgusted just thinking about it.
“I’ll have that room torn down and rebuilt.”
Elias leaned close to her car, his voice low and amused.
“So you like teal. I’ll remember that.”
Stella stared at him confused. Then realization hit. She glared and tried to kick and punch him.
Elias caught her hands, smiling tenderly. He laced her arm through his.
They headed down the elevator together.
“Ahh… Elias… calm down!”
Seraphina stumbled out of the room, finally regaining some sense.
Her clothes were torn, her hair messy, her body covered in scratches.
The noise drew everyone’s eyes to the second floor. The scene shocked the crowd.
‘Seraphina!”
Arthur’s eyes widened. He rushed up the stairs.
Aaron and Amelia exchanged a look. They both knew that was Elias‘ room.
‘Seraphina, what happened?”
‘Elias… he… he did this to me…”
Seraphina broke down crying, tears mixing with blood.
‘What? Mr. Cross hurt Miss Thorne?”
‘But he always kept away from women!”
‘Did Stella leave already?”
“The Shaw family is here. This might end their relationship.”
The Shaw family searched anxiously for Stella.
“Where’s Stella?” Jasper panicked, afraid she was hurt.
“Uncle Jasper, don’t worry. She’s fine with Elias,” Leo said.
“Where are they?”
Leo wasn’t sure if Elias‘ drug had worn off.
Wait a second.

Elias was with the girl he loved. He might not need medicine to calm down. He could just…
That bastard. I didn’t think of that.
“Grandpa, it was Elias. He dragged me in there, I–1-”
Seraphina wrapped herself in Arthur’s suit jacket and sobbed.
“Aaron.”
Arthur looked at him. Aaron was ready to scream.
What a terrible birthday party.
And my security is useless.
Elias is going to kill me.
“Mr.Arthur Thorne, we don’t know the full story yet,” Amelia said coldly.
“If the Cross family is responsible, we’ll take full responsibility. But if someone is causing trouble here, we won’t let it slide.”
“Amelia, I’m sure it was Elias.”
