The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1299

In the pouring rain, Romeo's henchmen held an umbrella over him, while others formed a human barrier behind him, blocking Arabella's line of sight.

Almost instantly, the bloodcurdling scream of Mr. Elliot reverberated through the air.

Romeo discarded the bloodstained switchblade to the side.

Carl handed him a disinfectant wipe, and after Romeo cleaned his hands, he tossed that aside as well.

"You should consider yourself lucky that I only severed tendons in your hand. If any harm comes to Ms. Bella, your whole family will pay the price."

Mr. Elliot's entire hand trembled with pain, his nerves screaming in agony that almost led to him blacking out.

It was at this moment that he truly witnessed the ruthlessness of Romeo. His gentle, devoted, and doting demeanor within the confines of the house was solely reserved for Arabella.

Outside, he remained as cold-blooded and brutal as ever.

Romeo glanced at his men, who quickly seized Mr. Elliot and forced him to move forward.

Taking the umbrella from his henchman, Romeo approached Arabella, drawing her into his embrace, "Move closer. Don't get wet."

Upon seeing the man wrapping an arm around Arabella and slowly walking away, Gordon paused for a moment before catching up with them.

In front, Mr. Elliot kept looking back, "Please, don't harm my family. I will tell you everything I know. Please spare them."

His family was his weak point.

But no one responded to him.

Romeo and Arabella continued forward, their silhouettes perfectly matched, causing Gordon's gaze to darken even further.

The rain was relentless, keeping people indoors. Seven or eight black sedans were parked by the street, Carl respectfully opened the car door for Arabella.
