Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 310

ornaments on her crown clanged against each other. “Tell Harper to keep the fighting to a minimum. You saw the Joneson Family guards. They’re as powerful as we are.” If Harper’s plan fails, I can never escape.Gilbert nodded. This was serious, so he stopped his usual wisecracking. “We’ll bust you out safely.”Elspeth cut off contact and lifted her veil to look outside. The whole of Blaydal was witnessing the wedding of the century. It was the marriage between the Jonesons and the Coles after all. The streets were packed with people celebrating the occasion.Elspeth wondered if the escape would be successful. Michael must have his guards around, and Harper would find it difficult to save her. Yet, she must try. She refused to marry Edmund just like that. The carriage was moving stably, though slowly, as it was held up by humans. That should buy Harper a lot of time.Nearly an hour had gone by since then. Elspeth’s mind was in chaos, but then the carriage came to an abrupt halt all of a sudden. Elspeth fell forward and bumped her head into the carriage. She clutched her head and gasped in pain. Just when she was wondering what was going on, a familiar voice spoke.“Hand her over!” Harper shouted.Elspeth lifted her veil and opened the curtains to see what was going on outside. Harper was in full-black attire, and he had a mask covering his face. Standing beside him was another man in black, though he was taller. That man’s eyes were shining brightly. Obviously, it was Gilbert.“Who are you people? This is the Jonesons’ wedding.” The man in charge wondered why these people would challenge the Jonesons.Harper didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “Get the woman in the carriage and ignore everyone else.”The men in black quickly defeated the people in front. Just when they were about to snatch Elspeth, the rest of the escorts whipped out some needles and speared the men in black. Harper frowned and told the men to retreat, but it was too late. The moment the needle pricked them, the men in black started howling.“The needles are poisoned!” Gilbert noticed their men falling around them. We can’t win. “Retreat!” That was not a decision he wanted to make, but he had to.“We can’t!” Harper protested. “This is our only chance. If we can’t save her, then she’ll have to marry that b*stard!”Gilbert took a deep breath, and then he snapped, “If we don’t retreat, our comrades are going to die. What’s more, the Jonesons’ men are on their way. If they get here, then all of us are going to die!”Harper opened his mouth, but he had no idea what to say. Gilbert grabbed him by his collar and dragged him away. “Trust her. She can get out of this. She’s Elspeth.” There was determination in Gilbert’s eyes.Only then did Harper leave. Gilbert looked at the carriage one last time and saw Elspeth looking at him. She was wearing a beautiful crown, and perfect makeup adorned her face. She was gorgeous, or she would be if she weren’t rolling her eyes at him.Once Harper and the gang were gone, Elspeth pulled the curtains down and tried to come up with Plan B. That commotion
