Chapter 1713
"Don't move, or I'll pull the trigger!"
Essie knew she couldn't outrun the gun, so she had to stand still.
Not far away, Yesseca felt like everything was a bolt from the blue.
She didn't expect Matthew's men to take out their guns!
Yesseca had seen it before.
It was on a train from Nashaland.
In Yesseca's eyes, a gun only represented one thing... killing.
Her mind was suddenly in a mess.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Matthew actually wanted to kill Essie.
He wanted to kill Essie!
She couldn't let Essie die!
She was the one who was followed by Matthew's men, and if Essie died, it would be her fault. She couldn't let this happen!
Yesseca, feeling dizzy, rushed over.
She held onto the man with the crew cut. "Essie, hurry up, run!"
The man who was about to grab Essie was furious after the joy of his apparent success was overturned by Yesseca grabbing onto him.
He had been looking for Essie for a long time. It wasn't easy for him to make any progress today, and he was unwilling to let his success be hampered by this woman.
He remembered Hansen saying that Matthew wanted to get hold of Essie.
He pointed his gun at Yesseca, "Let go, or I'll shoot!"
Hansen, seeing this, was terrified out of his wits.
His subordinates didn't know, but he knew that Yesseca was practically the younger sister of Matthew's wife. If his subordinates killed Yesseca, Matthew would skin all of them alive.
Hansen was about to ask the man to stop, but Essie ran over.
She was afraid that the man would really kill Yesseca.
She hit the man with force and sent him flying. At the same time, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew towards Yesseca. Essie instantly pushed Yesseca to the ground with the bullet narrowly escaping Yesseca's head.
When Yesseca heard the shot of a bullet, her soul felt like it had been sucked out from her body.
Everything around her seemed to have turned blank.
Hansen stepped forward and kicked the man with the crew cut. "You fool, you could've just ask her to move. If Matthew thought that she had gotten injured, we will all die with her!"
The man was stunned. He thought Yesseca was someone uninvolved, he never would have thought she was someone who would be important. Just then, a glint flashed across Essie's eyes.
She quickly whispered in Yesseca's ear, "Did you see that? The one you trust the most was going to kill the both of us!"
After that, Essie ran forward quickly and soon disappeared.
Hansen's sudden actions earlier caused everyone to betaken aback. No one dared to stop Essie. It wasn't until Essie ran away that they came to their
senses.
Hansen was furious.
He said angrily, "Hurry up and go after her!"
Everyone went after her except for the man with the crew cut, who was now on the ground.
Yesseca stood up.
Essie's words had sobered her up.
Essie said that Matthew wanted to kill them.
Yesseca's mind was in a mess.
That was impossible!
Matthew would never kill the two of them.
He had always been a modest gentleman. How could such a man kill people?
At that moment, the man with the crew cut also got up and walked towards Yesseca.
Yesseca's complexion instantly turned pale.
She had just been shot by that man. If it weren't for Essie, she might have been killed.
The man with the crew cut haircut apologized to Yesseca. He stammered, "I didn't know... It was Mr. Perry who asked me to..."
The man wanted to say that it was Matthew who ordered them to find Essie. He shot just now because of the adrenaline. He was terrified and ended up stuttering.
Just then, Hansen returned.
He once again kicked the man with the crew cut onto the ground.
It was because of him that Essie managed to escape.
At the same time, Hansen apologized to Yesseca, "Miss Cowell, it's all our fault. He shot you by mistake!"
Yesseca suddenly felt her hair stand on end.
He called her "Miss Cowell". They knew her, and what he just said was what it was Matthew's orders...
Could Essie be telling the truth?
Yesseca felt as if her heart had sunk into a cold and deep well. For a moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Fear flashed through Yesseca's eyes as he looked at Hansen.
Hansen saw through Yesseca's fear.
He immediately reassured her, "Miss Cowell, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. My subordinate is a fool!"
After that, he kicked the man with the crew cut again.
As soon as the man stood up, Hansen kicked him once more.
Yesseca took a deep breath.
She tried her best to calm herself down. "They won't be able catche Essie, she'll definitely escape!" If Essie fell into the hands of these people, she would be as good as dead!
"We couldn't catch her. She's run off." Hansen murmured.
The group of men went down the mountain, and as Yesseca followed them, her legs kept trembling.
Hansen offered to carry Yesseca but she turned him down.
She needed to walk on her own, even though her legs were shaking badly.
Hansen also knew that this matter had been completely bungled.
Matthew had originally asked him to follow Yesseca without her knowng. He didn't expect that one of his men would attack her.
Hansen called Matthew to apologize when he was on his way down.
Instead of waiting on Matthew to call him, he thought might as well break the news to Matthew first.
Matthew was silent for a moment after hearing the update. His voice was a little cold. "How did this happen?"
Although he didn't say anything harsh, Hansen knew that Matthew was deeply upset.
He lowered his head and said, "I messed up this time, Mr. Perry. Please punish me as you see fit." "Is there even a use for punishment now?"
Matthew said coldly, "Hand over the phone to Yesseca."
"It's Mr. Perry." Hansen walked over to Yesseca and handed the phone to her. "Miss Cowell, he wants to speak with you."
Yesseca's breathing sped up.
She looked at the phone with fear.
It was as if a demon was living in her hands.
After a long time, she reached out and took the phone.
"Yesseca, I'm waiting at the foot of the mountain. There may be some misunderstandings. Let's talk."
Yesseca was terrified.
"Okay." Finally, she squeezed the word out of her mouth.
Matthew's car was waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Yesseca saw it as she descended the mountain.
Her body trembled a little.
However, she suppressed the fear in her heart and got into the car.
After getting into the car, Matthew immediately spoke to Yesseca, "My men have already told me what happened on the mountain just now.
Someone almost hurt you. Are you okay?"
Yesseca forced herself to look into Matthew's eyes. "Why are you trying to kill Essie!"
"I'm not." Matthew explained,
"Yesseca, I only asked my men to
find Essie bring her to me. I never wanted to kill Essie. This is all a misunderstanding."
