Chapter 403: Uneasy About Her
Luke’s hawk-like eyes turned icy. "Ella, don’t go stirring up trouble for no reason!"
Ella ignored him. Luke’s expression darkened further. "Where do you think you’re going? If something happens to you, you’ll only cause trouble for Father!"
Luke had come today intending to persuade Ella to play along with him. His plan was simple: pretend to cooperate until Eric was rescued, then go back on his promise to marry her.
But Ella wasn’t the helpless, panicked woman he’d imagined. Instead, she was marching out with purpose.
She was clearly heading straight to confront the Miller family.
Two bodyguards tried to stop Luke, but the four men in black he’d brought with him were far too strong. Against these elite guards, the hotel’s foreign security staff didn’t stand a chance.
Luke successfully blocked Ella’s path.
"Don’t worry about me," Ella said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Besides, they’d have to be out of their minds to try anything against me. Isn’t the Anderson family’s power unmatched? No matter what trouble I stir up, they wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me."
She sneered, her eyes glinting with a mix of anger and defiance. "And anyway, I’m not yours. Why do you care what happens to me?"
Luke nearly spat blood in frustration. "Ella! Stop acting like you’re some kind of queen! I’m only worried about you causing problems for Father!"
Ella waved him off impatiently. "What problems? Didn’t I just say it? They’re too afraid of your family to do anything. Even if I act out, the worst that’ll happen is they’ll feel embarrassed. They won’t touch me."
