Chapter 229 The Mysterious Clan

Tess was too worried to sit still, so she notified Elias anyway.

“Meeting dismissed.”

Elias stood up at once and left in a hurry.

Gideon was completely confused and hurried after him.

“Mr. Cross, we’ve been negotiating this project for ages. We were supposed to sign today.”

“Reschedule.”

“What?!”

“Track the location of plate VSA 999999. Now.”

“What’s wrong?”

He got no answer, only the exhaust from Elias‘ speeding car.

Gideon stared at the vanishing vehicle in despair.

“This is workplace injury!”

He immediately began tracing the location.

Elias called Stella.

She hadn’t planned to answer, but when she saw the caller ID, she picked up.

“Elias, are you done with work?”

Her tone was light, as if she didn’t care about the cars following her.

“Where are you?”

“On my way home.”

“You’re being followed.”

Stella froze for a second, then smiled. “Yeah, but they can’t keep up.”

Just as she spoke, she saw the road ahead blocked.

Finished.

She reversed the car. Facing the oncoming vehicles, she stayed calm. Her red Porsche tilted sideways, shocking the men behind her.

“That’s even possible?”

“Who is this woman?”

“I don’t think she’s scared at all. She’s just playing with us.”

“Shut up! If we can’t catch a woman, how will we explain this?”

Stella sped back onto the road.

“Stella, did you hear me?”

“I’m here.”

Elias breathed a sigh of relief.

“You’re close to the coastal highway exit. Go there.”

“Alright.”

Stella glanced at the cars chasing her and smiled faintly.

Elias was worried, so she would stop playing around.

She accelerated toward the highway.

She saw Elias from far away, along with many men in black uniforms.

As soon as her car passed, the pursuers were blocked.

“Elias.”

Stella had just gotten out when she was pulled into a warm embrace.

“Are you okay?” Elias‘ worried voice sounded beside her ear.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“Let’s go home.”

Stella raised her eyebrows slightly. They hadn’t checked her at all, which meant Elias had arranged it.

“We’ll know who they are soon enough.”

“Okay.”

She also wanted to find out who was behind this.

“Next time something like this happens, call me immediately. Understand?”

Elias‘ worry had not faded. His slender fingers gently stroked her long hair.

“I’m sorry I made you worry.”

Seeing how shaken he was, she knew she had gone too far.

She hadn’t raced in a long time and had felt stuck in the lab. When these men showed just wanted to have some fun.

“Don’t say sorry. I failed to protect you.”

Elias held her tightly in his arms.

Stella pushed him away gently, held his face, and kissed him.

She knew she had to calm his frightened heart.

As they felt each other’s warmth, Elias‘ heart softened.

After a long while, footsteps approached. Stella tried to end the kiss.

Elias held the back of her head and kissed her urgently. He only let go when the footsteps grew closer, their hearts racing.

They stared at each other with misty eyes, breathing heavily, their cheeks bright red.
