The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1714

Sensing the aggression behind her, Carrie tried to run, but it was too late.

Still, Ralph would not give the perpetrator a second chance to hurt Carrie.

He pulled out a gun from his back holster while hooking Carrie in his arms. At the pull of a trigger, he fired at Brian’s right arm and left thigh.

Ralph acted swiftly.

It had better be a perfect crime.

Otherwise, Ralph would turn things around.

Brian whimpered in resentment and pain, his knees sinking to the ground.

The police swarmed toward him and cuffed his hand behind his hand. At last, the man who took drastic measures for his daughter was caught.

As Brian collapsed to the ground, the sniper had his view obstructed by the safety railing and stood down.

That was the reason why Ralph fired another shot into Brian’s leg.

Terrified by the booming gunshots, Carrie covered her ears in Ralph’s arms and curled up in shivers. With her breathing rugged, she broke out in a cold sweat.

“Don’t be scared. Everything is fine now.”

Ralph did not take her away there and then. Instead, he sat on the cement platform and held Carrie tight. He patiently and tenderly consoled her. “Haven’t you seen fireworks? That noise was fireworks I unleashed to congratulate you on your survival. Do you feel better now?”

Burying her tearful face in his clothes, Carrie sobbed.

Ralph sighed heart-wrenchingly and gripped her shoulders tighter.

“I thought I was going to die.” It took a while before Carrie’s muffled voice rang out.

“You won’t. You’re a smart and brave girl. You’re better than me.”

Carrie’s earlier interaction with the perpetrator stirred Ralph’s feelings. With a smile, he drew close to her face. “Besides, I won’t let anything happen to you on my watch. I won’t let down my uniform, Bella, or Justin.”

Most importantly, Ralph did not want to let Carrie down.

However, Ralph kept that thought to himself.

“I wasn’t trying to distract the man. I want to help him.” Carrie’s lips quivered.

“Carrie.” Ralph turned somber. “You said you were a survivor of abuse. Is that true?”

Carrie’s eyes widened as she shivered in the man’s arms.

“No, I wasn’t abused. I was just saying. I wasn’t bullied.”
