Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 788

Clutching the phone tightly in her hand, Elaine gritted her teeth and shouted, "Both of you, put everything back!"

Allen stood up, donning a sinister smile. "Did you really call the cops?"

Without looking at him, Elaine warned, "I will if you don't put the things back. There is a police station nearby, and they'll come in less than five minutes after I call them. I doubt you can outrun them!"

Shocked that Elaine could be so cold- hearted, Paul growled, "How can you do this to me?!"

He had a hard time finding the money and was reluctant to give it up.

Knowing that she had not called the police yet, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then pleaded, "Elaine, I know you don't like me anymore, but even if I've done something wrong, you can't call the police to arrest me! I am your brother! You can't do this to me!"

They were family, but she was so cold-blooded to have him arrested!

Blood drained from Elaine's face as she grimaced in agony and dismay. "I can't do this to you? Have you ever thought about me? I brought you here to visit the place where I work, but you actually have the nerve to rob this place?! Have you ever thought that if I didn't find out about your robbery today, who would take the responsibility for this?"

It was her. She would have to take all the responsibilities.

Most devastatingly, Howard would lose trust in her.

He treated her better than her own family, and she didn't want to disappoint him.

Therefore, she would not allow them to steal anything from here, not even a penny!

"I won't say anything if you put the things down and leave now." Elaine warned with no expression on her face, "Paul, letting you go is the biggest mistake I commit today. Don't say that I don't think of you as my family. I am, that's why I'm letting you go now."

Her remark made Paul blush in embarrassment. He wanted to fall out with her, but he was afraid that she would call the police.

Sometimes, Elaine could be a blockhead.

If it was Zoe, she would pretend that nothing had happened and let them go with the stolen goods.

But he couldn't be so sure with Elaine... She might really call the police.

He was already scared when she caught them red-handed, but the stern and ominous look on her face scared him even more.

After hesitating for a long time, he compromised. "Fine! I'll leave the things here and go, but you have to promise me that you'll keep your mouth shut!"

With that, Paul took all the things out of his pocket and put them in front of her.

Then, he pulled out the pockets of his coat and pants. "See? It's empty. Now you should let us go."

Ignoring him, she looked at Allen who had not spoken and said in a deep voice, "I'll take my brother away but you have to go and turn yourself in."

There was a price to pay for every wrongdoing.

She couldn't trust Allen. He might leave now, but she couldn't tell if he had other sinister ideas in his mind. Only did he surrender himself could she be at ease.

In fact, her selfish self hoped Allen would go to jail so that they could cut ties with him once and for all.

As if he had heard a joke, Allen sneered, looking upset, "You want me to turn myself in?" "If you don't, I'll call the police. Choose." Staring at her delicate face, Allen grinned, "You heartless little thing. I am your fiance. How could you let the police arrest me?"

Elaine retorted, "Fiance? My parents arranged our marriage without my consent. I didn't even want to marry you!"

"I don't care. Since you're my fiancee, you're mine," Allen snorted.

"I won't call the police for the sake of our acquaintance. Go and turn yourself in." She didn't want to continue this argument.

"What if I don't?"

"I'll call the police!"

Glaring at her indignantly, Allen suddenly laughed and blurted, "Fine! I'll turn myself in."

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should've thought this day would come when you committed your first robbery."

However, Paul scowled agitatedly, "Elaine, what the heck is wrong with you? Allen is your fiance! How can you ask him to surrender himself? You're such a b*tch!"

The curse came so unexpectedly that Elaine looked at him in shock. "What did you just say?"

"I said you're a b*tch!" Red in anger and annoyance, Paul raised his hand to slap her to which she dodged subconsciously, but Allen, who had been standing still, suddenly pounced on her and

pressed her down on the floor. "B*tch! You want me to surrender myself? Dream on!"

Shocked, Elaine shouted, "Get away from me! Paul, help me..."

Instead, Paul looked at her with cold glare and stood still.

"Don't move!" Allen took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered her nose with it.

An unpleasant and irritating smell went into her nose, which terrified her and made her want to scream and struggle, but she found that she gradually became weak.

Her vision started to blur.

Soon, darkness engulfed her vision, and she lay on the ground, unable to move.

After knocking her out, Allen let go of her and screamed at Paul, who was standing in a daze, "What the f*ck are you waiting for? Get those things!"

Frightened, Paul stammered, "l-ls she alright?"

"Not dead at least!"

"What did you do to her?"

"I put some drug on the handkerchief to knock her out. Relax, she's fine."

Stunned, Paul asked, "Did you know that she would be here?"

Otherwise, how could he have prepared the handkerchief in the first place?

"I'll always have a backup plan. Even though you said that she wouldn't come, I wouldn't be sure, so I prepared in advance." Allen contorted irritatingly, "Don't just stand there! Grab those things and

let's get out of here!"

Nodding profusely, Paul started to put the things back into his pockets.

Then, they searched around for some valuable items before heading out quickly.

Before they left, Allen took Elaine with him.

When Elaine woke up, she found that her limbs were tied up.

Terrified, she tried to scream only to realize that her mouth was muffled.

All of a sudden, the memories before she fainted had crossed her mind. She had been knocked unconscious by Allen. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Realizing this, Elaine felt relieved instead because she knew that they would not harm her. After all, one of them was her brother, and the other was her so-called fiance.

After calming down, she began to look around and realize that she was alone in a small room with only a table and bed in it.

It was eerily dark and quiet here without any sound. She did not know where she was.

She couldn't run away not make a sound, so she could only wait.

After waiting for what seemed like forever, there was finally some noises outside the room.

The door was opened. She looked up and saw Paul and Allen entering.
