The sound of the screeching interrupted Elaine's words. She turned her head in surprise and saw a familiar handsome figure coming out of the car.
The color drained from her face instantly. How did he find her?
It was Vincent.
Dressing in a black shirt, he seemed to fuse with the darkness.
But his cold temperament made it hard for one to ignore him.
There was not much expression on his angular face, and his dark eyes were fixed on her.
Somehow, she broke out in cold sweat and hid behind Howard.
Vincent must have known that she had drugged him.
He was smart.
At the same time, Howard was stunned to see a man who looked exactly the same as him appear. Then, he realized that it was Vincent Bradbury.
Earlier, Howard went to the psychiatric hospital to look for him, but he wasn't there.
Yet now, he appeared in front of them.
And the moment he came into sight, Elaine hid behind him as if she was avoiding a monster.
Realizing that, Howard grabbed hold of her hand.
All of a sudden, Vincent paused in his track. Looking at the two holding hands, he shifted his gaze away.
He looked up at Elaine and ordered gently, "Come here."
The words seemed to be enveloped in grumpiness.
Elaine bit her lips and didn't move.
Seeing that, Vincent curled his lips slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He lifted his chin and commanded, "Get her into the car."
Immediately, the bodyguards behind him walked over to Elaine.
While defending Elaine, Howard took a step back and scolded, "Vincent, you're being unreasonable!"
Hearing that, Vincent stopped the bodyguards.
He walked over and looked at Howard calmly. "Oh. Do you want to reason with me?"
"Elaine's still young. You shouldn't treat her rough like this." Then, taking a deep breath, Howard continued, "Why don't we sit down and talk it through?"
He never expected Vincent to come to him so soon though.
Right on tonight.
On the other hand, upon hearing his words, Vincent said, "I'm not here to talk to you. Instead, I'm here for her. So if you don't want things to get rough, just step away and I'll leave immediately with her."
Howard shook in disagreement. "No way. I won't let her go with you."
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
"D*mmit!"
Vincent then looked toward Elaine. "Are you coming back with me obediently, or do you want me to carry you away by force?"
Instantly, she glared at him and snapped, "How dare you do that!"
That was equal to kidnapping!
However, Vincent just shot her a light glance. "The car is just over there. And things don't have to get rough if you get in it yourself."
"You b*stard!"
Frustrated, Elaine knew there was no point in arguing further with him.
So she held on to Howard's sleeve tight.
There was no way she would go with Vincent.
Seeing that, Vincent grew irritated and warned impatiently, "Elaine, you only have two choices now - it's either I finish him, knock you out and take you away, or you leave with me, and I'll let him go."
He was referring to Howard.
When Howard heard that, he started laughing.
"What a big talk! Who do you think you are?"
"Oh? You don't believe me?"
However, Elaine was trembling all over. She believed that Vincent could do such a thing because he killed Bob without even blinking an eye.
