Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 769

Jewel noticed the figure that disappeared into the corridors, but as she was preoccupied at the moment, she

couldn't go after that figure. These men were quite skilled and didn't seem to be some low-level thugs. Rather, they

were like professional hitmen, as each of their attacks was a strike to kill. With some difficulty, she managed to kick

the men surrounding her down and quickly chased after the man who had left outside, as she worried that Ellen

was in danger.

Meanwhile, Ellen had run to the end of the corridor, but the man behind her was still in hot pursuit, so she went

downstairs in hopes of calling for help. Unfortunately for her, she could clearly sense the man was closing the

distance between them since the man was much faster. As her anxiety grew with each step, she couldn't move her

legs very well.

Just then, she stumbled on her feet and almost fell. Instinctively, she held onto the walls for support to regain her

footing. However, the man was now right behind her with a knife in his hand. Without any hesitation, he struck at

her with the intent to kill.

Seemingly sensing his intention, she turned her head back. At the same time, she felt someone suddenly jumping

down from the second floor before that someone completely wrapped her inside their arms.

Shnk. The sound of the knife stabbing into flesh rang out.

Shnk. Tha sound of tha knifa stabbing into flash rang out.

Frightened into a panic, Ellen cried out, "Jewel! Jewel…"

The knife found its way to the right side of Jewel's back instead. Her shirt was dyed red as her blood came flowing

out. Truthfully, she wanted to kick the man aside, but because they were at the side of the wall, Ellen might be

caught in the aftermath of the man's fall as well, so she decided to block the knife instead. After she caught her

balance, she immediately hugged Ellen.

Frightened with what had happened, Ellen held Jewel in her arms as she yelled, "S-Someone! A-Anyone! Help!"

Although there were people stationed to patrol her villa, not one of them had noticed the large group of intruders

here today.

Without the time to process the pain of the knife stabbing her, Jewel grabbed the man's collar just as he was about

to stab her again. Then, she threw the man down to the first floor. As the man rolled on the ground, the bloodied

knife in his hand was flung to the side as well.

He knew to go and pick up the knife, but Jewel was a step faster than him. She jumped down to the first floor and

rolled to soften her landing. During the roll, she picked up the bloodied knife. Expressionless, she stabbed the knife

at the man's abdomen without so much of a blink. As her technique was extremely refined, the man might be too in

pain to move a finger, but his life would not be at risk.

Just then, Ellen came down the stairs and hugged Jewel before she said anxiously, "Jewel, are you okay?"

Jewel held Ellen's hand and shook her head. "I'm fine. Are you… okay?" she said while caressing Ellen's neck injury.

With her tears instantly rolling down her cheeks, Ellen said in anger, "Why are you so stupid? Why would you risk

yourself to save someone who's already old enough to be on their deathbed?"

"I have only one mother," Jewel said with a smile.

Ellen pulled her into her arms and said in tears, "Silly child."

However, Jewel hadn't the time to be sentimental with Ellen. She quickly dragged her to a room and signed to her,

'Hide here. I need to go back upstairs.'

Ellen held her hand to stop her. "Why are you still going back when you're injured like this?"

"My boss!"

Before Ellen could understand what Jewel meant, she was pushed into the room by her and was told to lock the

door.

After Jewel closed the door, she went back up to the second floor.

Meanwhile, Alex had taken a good round of beating as he cursed inwardly about how Eugene's reinforcement still

wasn't here while dealing with the constant stream of skilled men.
