Chapter 43
The teacher wasn't taking pleasure in Marsh's predicament. She simply believed the kid desperately needed someone who could actually rein him in. Without proper guidance, he was on a fast track to becoming a lost cause, potentially even a threat to society. Elvira, determined to teach him a lesson for his latest school fight, dragged him out of the school. Despite his size, nearly matching hers in height and definitely in weight, he tried and failed to shake her off. Elvira's grip was surprisingly strong. making any attempt at escape futile. "Seriously, what are you made of? You're way too strong for a woman!" Marsh complained, glaring at her after failing to break free.
"And you, stuffing yourself with junk food until you're as big as a pig and as feeble as a chicken, don't exactly scream 'manly!" She shot back, not pulling any punches and leaving him red-faced with embarrassment.
Humiliated and outmatched, Marsh didn't dare retaliate. He had learned the hard way that Elvira meant business. A couple of sharp kicks for dawdling had made that painfully clear.
Outsmarted and outmaneuvered, he was fuming.
As they reached the school gates, Elvira hailed a cab to take him to the hospital to make amends.
But then, a suspicious black car approached them. Elvira, sensing danger, pulled Marsh back, but his reluctance and size made their retreat sluggish.
Men in masks emerged from the car, clearly there for Elvira.
They were equipped with sedatives and various tools for abduction. Marsh, having never faced such a scenario, was petrified, crouching and covering his head, leaving Elvira unable to pull him away.
Frustrated to the brink by Marsh's foolishness, Elvira found herself in a dire situation as the assailants advanced. She managed to knock one down but was forced to release Marsh.
Just as the captors were about to seize her, another group of masked figures appeared, sparking a sudden clash. With no idea who these new arrivals were, Elvira was confused and couldn't tell friends from foes. Her priority shifted to escaping the chaos with Marsh. But she wasn't quick enough.
One of the original attackers grabbed Marsh, pressing a knife to his throat.
Elvira, heart racing, faced the standoff nervously, "What do you want?"
The second group quickly encircled her, forming a protective barrier.
"Tell your men to back off and you must go with us, or I'll kill the kid," the kidnapper threatened, pressing the blade closer, and drawing a trail of blood from Marsh's neck.
This caused him to freeze in fear without even being able to shed tears. Elvira knew the man was not bluffing. If he pressed the knife harder, it would cut through Marsh's artery.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't hurt him. I'll go with you, just let him go!" Elvira was forced to comply, not dare to risk Marsh's life.
The protectors around her hesitated. "Ms. Willis, you can't go with them. They're after you."
"I know, but I can't leave my brother. Whoever you are, thank you.... I'll go with you, but please, let him go," she stated firmly,

with no tension in her eyes.
"Deal," the kidnapper agreed readily. Elvira was their target, and her fat brother would only slow them down.
Ignoring the protests of those who had come to protect her, Elvira stepped towards the kidnappers. As she approached, they grabbed her, pressing a sedative-soaked cloth against her face.
The kidnapper holding Marsh quickly shoved him toward the group that had tried to intervene, making their getaway with Elvira in tow.
Elvira, now unconscious, was hurriedly placed into a vehicle. The kidnappers issued a stark warning to her would-be rescuers-follow them and she would be killed.
With no other choice, her defenders watched helplessly as the kidnappers drove off with her. Their leader immediately reported the situation to Zach and set off in pursuit.
Zach had ensured Elvira was under constant surveillance following a previous threat so as to keep her safe. He was astounded that, despite the tight security, such a blatant breach had occurred. Ordering Spike to rally his forces, Zach demanded a full-scale search and rescue operation for Elvira.
Upon receiving the news, Spike mobilized all resources to track down Elvira, while Zach himself joined the chase.
The kidnappers had meticulously planned this abduction, motivated by a hefty payout. They were determined to earn their fee through thorough preparation.
On the road, Zach's response team encountered unexpected roadblocks set up by the kidnappers but managed to keep the chase alive, navigating through the obstacles and maintaining pursuit.
The chase escalated quickly, terrifying other drivers. Those who couldn't dodge could only be bumped away, causing a series of accidents.
In the kidnapper's vehicle, believing Elvira to be unconscious, they didn't bother to bind her further. The driver was contacting their accomplices, hoping to stop the chasers at the next crossing.
Meanwhile, Elvira, though closing her eyes, was actually wide awake. She had taken a special antidote given to her by Olivia as soon as those men appeared. The antidote could render any sedative ineffective, no matter how powerful it was. Surrounded by five kidnappers in the car, she must wait for the perfect moment to strike. Otherwise, her capability was not enough for her to beat them down.
Listening to their conversation, she realized they were distracted. She opened her eyes a little, spotting two handkerchiefs with powerful sedatives on the floor, she quickly formulated a plan. The car was running so fast that it collided again with a car passing on the road. Feigning a fall, she grabbed the handkerchiefs and used them to swiftly incapacitate two of the kidnappers. Two of them passed out without knowing anything. As the third kidnapper advanced on her, Elvira met him with a handkerchief to the face, taking him down as well.
The sedative was powerful enough to keep three of them unconscious.
The driver and the kidnapper in the front exchanged curses as chaos ensued. The kidnapper drew a gun on her, but she acted fast, turning the gun back on the driver and pulling the trigger." "Bang!" The driver was hit in the neck, causing the car to veer out of control and crash into a bridge railing with a scream echoed from inside. 67.71

"Bang!" The collision severely injured the car as well as the kidnapper, whose life was on the line.
It also rendered Elvira battered with a hard bump. She felt like aching all over as if she had been torn apart.
