Many people started talking at the same time.
Instead of leaving, they closed in on the scene.
Lucinda was confused.
Their reaction wasn’t normal.
Then her eyes fell on the arrogant Tess.
That was when it dawned on her.
This was all Tess.
She started it all.
Very interesting.
The crowd closed in so much that Abel and Rickey couldn’t move.
They couldn’t push the people too for fear of hurting them.
They had to be extra careful too.
These were upper-ss people that no one wanted to offend.
Seeing that things were going as nned, Tess winked at Eleanor.
Eleanor understood and quickly broke free from the bodyguard, running as fast as her legs could carry her.
The bodyguards were so consumed with controlling the crowd that they only realized it after she ran.
They went to chase after her, but the crowd intercepted them.
Conor was pissed off at this point.
“Are you crazy? You can’t just let an escaped prisoner go scot-free!”
Tess smiled and said, “It’s okay.
You don’t have to chase after her.
I already called the police.
She won’t be able to run far.
So, you guys don’t need to do anything.
”
Conor and his partners were seething with anger, but since Lucinda didn’t say anything, they kept quiet too.
Lucinda’s face was so cold.
Nathaniel looked at her and called out in a low voice, “Lucinda.
”
She nced at him coldly and said, “She is your woman.
So, you.
“She is not my woman!” Nathaniel cut her off hurriedly.
Lucinda acted as though she didn’t hear anything and continued, “So, you’ll take care of this yourself.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Do note back to the vi until this is settled.
”
Nathaniel reached out to grab her wrist, knowing very well how angry she was.
He was about to beg for mercy when Sonny rushed to him.
“Boss, I’m sorry, I’mte.
”
Nathaniel frowned at him.
He was resisting the urge to beat Sonny up.
Instead, he ordered, “Eleanor ran towards the bamboo grove behind this hotel.
She’s still hurt, so she couldn’t have gone very far.
Go after her.
”
“Yes, boss,”
