The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Arabella made a quick assessment of her situation.

She had slipped out when the guards at the entrance were off guard, planning to find a nearby place to borrow a phone to call the police.

By turning in Elijah, she would sever all ties with him in the public eye, and once he was locked up, she could finally be free.

She had fled in such a hurry that she hadn’t even put on her shoes. She ran barefoot on the concrete pavement, eyeing a man in a black suit standing at the bus stop ahead.

“Sir, could I borrow your cellphone? I need to call the police!” She ran towards him, ignoring her raw and bleeding feet.

“Oh?” The man turned his face. His handsome looks made it hard to distinguish whether he was masculine or feminine, yet he was utterly aloof. “You need to call the police?”

“Yes, I’ve found a fugitive. I need to report him!” Arabella nodded frantically.

With a cold smirk, the man suddenly covered Arabella’s mouth with his gloved hand, dragging her back to the basement.

Oh no!

A chill ran down Arabella’s spine as she realized this man was in cahoots with Elijah.

“Useless!” The man threw Arabella at Elijah. “You can’t even keep an eye on your own girl! She nearly ran off to the cops!”

“Mister!” Elijah had been lounging on the bed, looking like a disheveled mess. He scrambled to his knees at the sight of the man.

But after seeing Arabella, he couldn’t help but slap her harshly. “You traitor! How dare you betray me?!”

Arabella curled up, shivering. She was too frightened to make a sound.
