His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Someone She Shouldn't Mess With

Elianna subconsciously pulled the blanket to cover herself. When she lowered her head, she noticed that she was neatly dressed, and the sticky feeling on her body was gone. It seemed like someone had cleaned her up.

"You..."

Albert quickly distanced himself, "I didn't do anything. I was playing games over there the whole time."

Elianna nodded. She propped herself up on the edge of the bed, but as soon as she stood up, she fell back down.

Albert instinctively reached out to help but then withdrew his hand and rubbed it, saying, "Can you walk by yourself?"

"I can," Elianna forced herself to stand up. "Let's go."

When they went outside, they realized it was a standalone small courtyard, but it was empty and lacked signs of life.

Albert looked casual but attentive.

He took the initiative to explain, "This is Jeff's place, and it's closest to Larsen's mansion."

Elianna nodded and remained silent.

This silence continued until Albert brought her back to Larsen's mansion.

When they were almost there, Albert wondered, "Aren't you going to ask where Jeff went?"

Elianna said lightly, "If he wanted me to know, he wouldn't have sent you."

Albert accepted it with a shrug.

Elianna looked at the quiet street outside the car window.

Jefferson had put in so much effort to get her out, so it was a lie to say that he hadn't been affected.

But Jefferson's meaning was already evident. There was no need to bring disgrace upon herself.

Furthermore, someone like him, capable of rescuing her from Clare's grip and supplying her with the remedy, had already accomplished a considerable amount.

Their relationship was like a fleeting encounter. Now that the clues were leaked, there was no need to continue.

Elianna silently reminded herself that Jefferson was someone she shouldn't mess with and it was better to cut ties with him.

Southern courtyard

Neil entered the room looking exhausted, and Clare handed him a cup of coffee.

"Have some coffee."

Neil waved it away. "Tell me what happened today."
