Chapter 23 Do You Agree?
Chapter 23 Do You Agree?
After being beaten up so badly, Eliza’s mind went blank. She knew, without a doubt, what was going to
happen next, but she did not have any strength left to move. Despair continued to rise in her heart.
What should she do? Who was going to save her…
As she was in a trance, she thought she heard the sounds of fists colliding against flesh and fighting.
The dirtbag that was on her did not take any further action.
What… what just happened? She did not have any time to think when suddenly, the cloth that was
covering her eyes was ripped off. The sudden lights made it impossible for her to open her eyes.
Within the hazy lights and shadows, Tanner’s appeared before her eyes…
“Tanner?” Eliza’s mind was still in a mess, and she muttered in a daze.
Why was he here? Was this an illusion?
Tanner looked at her face which was covered in red welts and full of confusion. He knew that she
must’ve been scared out of her wits. Those b*stards! They deserved to die!
He suppressed the fury in his heart and pinched her chin so that he could raise her head to look into
his eyes. Even though he had already tried his best to restrain himself, he still caused some pain to her.
It was that flash of sharp pain that woke Eliza up. It was not an illusion at all… Tanner had saved her!
Before she could even express her gratitude, she heard his attractive voice say, “Eliza, this is your last
chance. Marry me, and I will settle everything for you. Otherwise… I can’t guarantee whether
something like this will happen again or not.”
"I am not sure whether I can come again or not next time."
Tanner's eyes and brows were as sharp as swords, piercing through her soul.
She knew that Michael would not give up so easily too. But Tanner’s powers were not something to be
laughed at either. Dealing with someone like Michael was just a piece of cake for him. There was no
need to worry about promises, and she no longer had to go back to her home too…
However, what about Raelyn? Tanner was supposed to be her future brother-in-law. She was already
very sorry for what happened last time. She did not care if her stepfather’s company would go bankrupt
or not, but she could not treat her sister like that.
“Brother-in-law, thank you for saving me, but I really can’t promise you…” Eliza felt the strength of his
hands getting heavier and heavier, and her eyes were welling with tears from the pain. She wanted to
speak, but she did not have the strength left anymore.
“What did you just call me?” It was the same deep voice, but it was very cold. Tanner did not expect her
to already identify him as her brother-in-law. Since bribing her would not work, he wouldn’t mind
threatening her.
“Do you think this is over?” Tanner spoke word by word, his tone was hard and cold, “I have only
subdued them, I haven’t done anything to them yet. If I leave now, what do you think they will do to
you?”
Eliza’s vision was blocked by his tall and straight figure, so she could not see anything at all. She
widened her eyes in disbelief. Tanner’s words made her feel as if she was she was facing an abyss.
She thought that she had already escaped danger, but who would have thought…
Tanner looked at the panic in her eyes with satisfaction. Her large eyes were filled with tears, and he
wanted nothing more than to take her home and take good care of her. However, this girl was always
rejecting him, so he needed to teach her a good lesson.
“If you are still going to keep quiet, then I will leave.” Eliza was still thinking about it, but Tanner had
already made up his mind. He clenched her chin and said that he was ready to leave.
She did not have any time left to think about it. She was absolutely unwilling to be tarnished by these
scums, much less follow Michael’s wishes. She could only grasp onto her last hope.
Eliza grabbed his sleeve in a hurry and said carefully, “Take me away…” She was so anxious that her
eyes turned red, and her pitiful look pleased him.
Tanner bent down a little, and the corners of his mouth turned into a curve, he smiled, “Does this mean
that you agree?”
Eliza frantically nodded. This little gesture boosted his mood immensely. He picked her up, buried her Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
