Chapter 471 She Had Him Under Control
"Don't worry. Jared will be fine."
"How about you? I worry about you as well, you know, not just Jared," she said in a
hoarse voice.
"I will be fine too. Trust me.” He laughed, trying to ease her worries.
"Promise me, Elliot, that you will come back safely."
"Is there any reward for returning safely?" he suddenly asked in a serious tone.
"Let's get married when you're back. I will marry you and be your wife!" Anastasia
answered decisively.
That surprised Elliot. "Are you saying it for real? You'll marry me as long as I return safely?"
"Yes. I'm not deceiving you." Anastasia was equally serious. She was willing to do anything as long as he returned
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsafely to her.
Can he, though? Can he escape from Riley's men without any harm?
All of the kidnappers were well-trained, and their abilities were not to be underestimated.
"Deal. I'll crawl back to earth to marry you even if I'm in Hell." Elliot's tone was solemn, and it was as if he were
swearing an oath.
However, that scared her. "I don't want you to crawl back, Elliot. I want you to walk back, safe and sound."
Crawling back meant he lost an arm or a leg. She couldn't bear the thought of it because it made her heart race
with fear and insecurity. "I know. I promise to walk back to you." Elliot laughed, as if he had infinite motivation to
keep his promise.
For the next two hours, Anastasia had no idea what she was doing. Her mind was on the verge of collapsing and she
didn't take her gaze away from the surveillance camera for even a second, occasionally catching a glimpse of Elliot
on the deck of his boat. However, no matter how hard she stared at the screen, she couldn't see Jared.
"President Presgrave is only ten nautical miles from them now. They will be exchanging the hostages soon."
Rey and Anastasia tensed up and focused on the screen as soon as they heard that. Finally, the two ships appeared
to be only a hundred miles apart. Elliot's yacht arrived quickly at Aliona's, and from the screen, Aliona greeted him
personally with a wide and polite smile.
Meanwhile, on the two yachts on the international seas, Aliona saw Elliot coming down from his yacht. She was
wearing a figure hugging dress that made her appear graceful. She knew that she couldn't conceal her identity any
longer.
"Elliott, we don't need to go this far." Aliona exhaled a sigh. She could finally feel like she had him under control.
"Give me the child." Elliot glared at her. "You can deal with me in any way you want."
A tinge of hatred flashed through her eyes when she heard that. How did Anastasia captivate him to the point
where he is willing to sacrifice himself to save her son? Her son is not even related to him!
Aliona clapped and within seconds, her bodyguard brought a child out from the cabin.
When Jared saw Elliot, the boy was so surprised that he exclaimed right away, "Mr.
Presgrave!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot's gaze was fixed on Jared's face and when the man noticed the blood on Jared's
face, he glared venomously at Aliona. Aliona sensed ruthlessness in his gaze, which
terrified her. She quickly explained, "He was disobedient, so I taught him a lesson.
Nothing else." "I'm fine, Mr. Presgrave." Jared did not want Elliot to worry about him.
"How do I get this child back?" Elliot asked calmly.
"I'll hand him over to your men while you come to me. The rest of your life is up to
me," Aliona said calmly. She bet everything she had this time to complete her mission,
so she had to be ruthless.
Elliot then approached her men. There were tens of them on the deck now, compared
to Elliot's two bodyguards. In addition, Jared was present. Elliot, she reasoned, would
not dare to do anything.
After all, Jared's life might be endangered if the situation got chaotic.
Walking over to Aliona, Elliot voluntarily extended his hands for her men to tie.
"Pass them the child. Otherwise, I'll hunt you down using all I have." His words were
like a curse or spell hovering over her heart.
