Eleanor's steps suddenly halted.
She wanted to throw a few snarky retorts back at him, but was worried about wasting time. So, she ignored him and quickly pushed open the door to the ladies' room.
Once inside, she scanned the room and spotted a small window. Rushing over, she shoved it open.
Outside was a road. If she could get out this way, she'd be able to reach the road and her chances of escaping would increase.
Without a second thought, she rolled up her sleeves and began to climb the tall window.
Meanwhile, a man sitting on the road with one leg bent and a hand resting on his knee, was smoking and watching her window escapade.
How odd!
If she wanted to leave, she could just walk out the club's main entrance or through the beach. Why bother with the window?
"Hey!"
He yelled out, startling Eleanor and causing her to fall from the window...
She landed hard, the pain making her grit her teeth. Luckily, she landed on sand otherwise she'd definitely have broken something.
She got up and glared at the smoking man on the road. "Jerk!"
The man lifted the hand that was resting on his knee, took a puff of his cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and looked at her. "Why are you climbing walls?"
Eleanor ignored him, and with a hand on her sore waist, she tried to pass through the bushes to get to the road.
Gianna's voice came from behind—
"Ms. Shultz, didn't I tell you not to try and escape..."
Hearing Gianna's voice, Ms. Shultz let out a disappointed sigh.
The man still sitting on the road flicked the ash off his cigarette, and smirked, "So, you're Eleanor."
Seeing the man's gaze on Eleanor, Gianna quickly stepped forward to remind him: "Mr. Pine, this is Mr. Laurence's wife."
She didn't say anything else. The title of wife was enough to deter any ideas he might have about Eleanor.
Mr. Pine, who originally had no intentions, suddenly had a wicked thought upon hearing Mr. Laurence...
He smirked mischievously, "Oh, Mr. Laurence's wife, you say? Now, I'm even more interested."
Evan hadn't expected Mr. Law to be willing to confront Mr. Penrod rather than go to the secret location. This was getting more complicated.
After giving Evan a fierce glare, Bernard holstered his gun and headed to the backyard.
"Start the helicopter!"
"Yes, sir!"
Aidyn Reyes replied respectfully and ran to the backyard ahead of Bernard.
On the lawn in the backyard, a row of helicopters were parked. They were originally prepared for picking up the bride the next day, but now were being used for a rescue mission.
The tall, handsome man in a black suit was putting on gloves as he bent over to get into one of the helicopters.
Once his gloves were on, he waved at Aidyn, "I'll pilot!"
Aidyn, who had just started the helicopter, immediately vacated the cockpit and quickly got off, signaling the other helicopters to follow.
One helicopter after another roared across the night sky of A City, flying away quickly—
