Chapter 330
Just as Ellinor stepped out of the fast food joint, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around
and sure enough, those guys were on her tail again, along with some nosey reporters lugging their
cameras…
Hailing a cab wouldn’t be a good idea now.
Given the whole extortion thing, taxi drivers might feel a bit too much solidarity, might not stay neutral. If
they got all riled up too, then it would be a real pickle!
“We gotta leave!”
Ellinor grabbed Theo’s hand and they started legging it…
She wasn’t scared of those guys, they were just a pain in the butt, tough to handle, and she couldn’t
just start a braw!!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPlus, Theo’s identity couldn’t be blown!
His identity was tied to the entire Blanchet Corporation, so she didn’t want to stir up trouble for him over
something trivial.
They ran through the nearby alleyways, the spectators and reporters hot on their heels…
At a critical moment, Theo pulled her behind a pile of junk, hiding until those guys lost their trail.
Ellinor let out a sigh of relief, panting from the sprint.
Theo looked at her, “Why did we have to run? Exercising after eating, what if you get a stomach–
ache?”
Ellinor blinked, feeling helpless, “What, were we supposed to duke it out with them?”
Theo gently scraped her flushed face with his finger, “You don’t need to get involved in a fight, just stay
behind me.”
Ellinor frowned, “I don’t want you to get dragged into this…”
Before she could finish, someone shouted, “I found them, over there!”
“Chase them! Don’t let them get away!”
“Stop running!”
Ellinor realized they were in a bind, “Oh no, we’ve been spotted! You go! I can handle them on my
own!”
Theo frowned at her plan, “We leave together!”
Ellinor was out of breath, sprinting right after a full meal didn’t feel so great…
“I’ll stay and distract them! Stop dawdling, go!”
Theo frowned, he wasn’t happy with her decision.
What did she take him for?
Did she think he would just leave her and run away?
Ellinor was like a cat on a hot tin roof, pushing him away…

in the car!”
Theo, holding Ellinor’s hand, walked swiftly towards the car and they hopped in.
Collin floored it, driving them away from that place…
By the time the crowd got there, all they saw was a high–end Maybach driving off, which only fueled
their anger.
“Did that extortionist just get into a limited edition Maybach?”
“That woman can afford a luxury car and a hot young guy by extortion? This is unbelievable, is this
fair?”
“This world is so unfair, a bad woman who makes money by extorting others‘ lives such a comfortable
life, while we law–abiding citizens have to work our butts off!”
“We should post all the footage online, exposing their true colors!”
“Yeah! Let’s also expose the hot guy she’s keeping on the internet! Villains should get their
comeuppance, we should use public opinion to take down their scam gang!”
