The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 922 I Told You to Let Go

But now, those cold eyes were also filled with alienation toward him.

When Eddie heard this, he felt his mind go numb.

“Tempest, are you f*cking sick? Are you implying we framed Ariana to get her locked up?”

“Who the hell does she think she is? You think she’s important enough for us to mobilize a whole group and hatch some grand conspiracy?”

“See this? This is all frostbite from the cave on the cliff yesterday! And here. And here.”

Eddic displayed the injuries on the back of Rianne’s hand and her wrist for Tempest to see.

It wasn’t severe frostbite, but it was clearly an injury.

A dark current passed through Tempest’s eyes.

Before he could speak, Hailey, who had been standing silently behind him, interjected, “The temperature in Yalvaria has been quite low recently. Plenty of people get frostbite.”

“Miss Rianne has been here for some time, hasn’t she? Isn’t it normal to get frostbitten?”

Eddie: “Hey, you…”

“Rianne!”

Tempest had completely lost his patience.

He strode forward and yanked Rianne away from Eddie.

Eddie’s hand was suddenly empty.

The moment Rianne was dragged outside by Tempest, Eddie grabbed Rianne’s other hand.

“Tempest, don’t force my hand!”

As he spoke, his other hand was already reaching for his waist.

Eddie might be mild–mannered, but he wouldn’t let just anyone walk all over him.

It all depended on his mood…

Instantly!

The gun in Eddie’s hand was aimed at Tempest’s chest. “Let her go!”

*Ah-

Hailey, who had never seen such a thing, shrieked in terror.

She subconsciously tried to hide behind Tempest, but Tempest only had eyes for Rianne.

11:50 Sun, Dec 7.

The moment his eyes met Eddie’s, danger surged between them.

Tempest’s voice was hoarse: “And if I don’t?”

A gunshot shattered the restaurant’s silence.

Tempest let out a muffled grunt.

The moment agonizing pain shot through his arm, he released his grip on Rianne.

Eddie pulled Rianne into his embrace.

He glanced at her bruised and purpled wrist, then looked back at Tempest. “I told you to let her go.”

Every word from Eddie was laced with danger.

His usual lackadaisical air was gone, replaced by a truly intimidating presence.

Tempest was in so much pain his chest seized.

Rianne herself was completely frozen. She had never seen such a scene… Although Ariana had often created trouble for her over the years, compared to this, those incidents were just child’s play.

Hailey was so scared she collapsed weakly onto the floor.

Eddie took Rianne’s hand. “Let’s go.”

His face was hard and cold, but when he spoke to Rianne, his tone was noticeably gentler.

Rianne let him pull her along, stiff as a board.

As they passed Tempest, he clutched his injured shoulder and gritted his teeth, “Rianne, you tried so hard to leave me, just to hang out with someone like this?”

Hearing this, Rianne stopped.

Her gaze toward Tempest, once so ardent, was now just as cold.

She spoke, her voice strained. “This is the first time you’ve been hurt by someone else because of me.”

“And you look at me with such bitter resentment, as if I’m some malicious creature. But what about me? All those years I was by your side…”

At this, Rianne paused.

She looked at Tempest, tears welling in her eyes. They were tears of grief, indignation, and hatred for him.

She couldn’t be as detached as Stella, because Stella truly felt no love for Ethan.

But she was different.

Tempest had personally brought her home, had raised her in the palm of his hand.
