Chapter 297: Relentless Pursuit
The bodyguard who had been trailing Ella and her group rushed back immediately, shielding Mason from further attacks.
Eric and Ella exchanged a knowing smile, linked arms, and strolled away leisurely.
Amelia and Richard were laughing so hard they could barely keep their jaws from dropping. Mason, that jerk, had finally gotten what he deserved.
Some people hate having their sexual orientation mocked, and Mason, who despised the idea of being associated with homosexuality, couldn’t stand being hit on by men. His arrogant personality ensured that he’d have a nasty reaction to such encounters.
A man like that? Well, getting a beating was just karma catching up!
The group made their way to the edge of Silver Creek Valley, where smooth pebbles lined the banks and the water was crystal clear, with small fish swimming lazily beneath the surface.
"Eric, you’re unbelievably crafty! Mason won’t be catching up to us anytime soon after that," Richard laughed, pulling Amelia into a kiss. Ella, smiling contentedly, waved over a boatman, and the four of them boarded a boat together.
"He deserved it. I honestly have no idea what I did to make him hate me so much!" Ella said, her mood lifting. Mason and Rachel’s sudden appearance had dampened her spirits, but seeing those two troublemakers get what they deserved was immensely satisfying, leaving her feeling more relaxed and content.
At last, she could enjoy a carefree, happy trip down Silver Creek Valley with the people she loved.
Silver Creek Valley, true to its name, curved like a crescent moon, splitting the surrounding mountains in two. The scenery on both sides was breathtaking, and the boat occasionally slipped through water caves, where the illuminated cave walls featured grand carvings.
Laughter echoed down the valley as Eric and the group enjoyed their time together.
