h4Chapter 30: Emergency Rescue/h4

However, with just three of them against dozens of attackers, E’s side was clearly at a disadvantage.

There were plenty of onlookers, but none stepped forward to help. E had already been kicked several times, and if not for Charles protecting her, she would have been knocked to the ground and beaten severely.

"Stop! You can’t do this!" Charles shouted, struggling to fend off multiple women attacking him simultaneously, despite his strength.

Chloe was also caught in the fray, her hair being yanked and her face pped repeatedly.

Seeing this, E gritted her teeth in anger and pped the young woman attacking Chloe.

The scene descended into chaos. E and her friends were bing increasingly overpowered. Charles, onceposed and handsome, now had blood trickling from his mouth, overwhelmed by the vicious women attacking him.

"Bang—"

A gunshot rang out, echoing through the area!

Several sports cars sped towards them, with a red Lamborghini among them.

Before the women could react, the cars surrounded them.

The women were utterly shocked, their limbs trembling in fear.

These people had guns—they must be from the mafia!

The door of the Lamborghini swung open, and a man dressed in ck jumped out.

He was tall and imposing, his eyes burning with fury like the blood-red eyes of a demon. He stormed towards E, yanking her to his side.

"Eric..." E looked up, her eyes welling with tears as she gazed at his enraged face.

She hadn’t expected him to arrive so timely.

"You really... scared me to death!" Eric exhaled deeply, wiping the egg yolk from her hair.

His subordinate, Mark, had seen E dining with a man and a woman and reported back to Eric. Feeling uneasy, Eric decided toe over right after work.

To his shock, he saw E being attacked from a distance as they approached, prompting him to fire a warning shot.

Several bodyguards jumped out of the cars, each as strong as a tower, and quickly surrounded the women, ensuring they couldn’t escape.

Charles watched, feeling a deep sense of inadequacy. Though he was born into a wealthy family, his presence paled inparison to Eric’smanding aura.

"I’m fine... it’s Charles and Chloe who are seriously injured," E said, shaking her head. Under Charles’s protection, she had only been pelted with a few rotten eggs and kicked a few times.

Chloe and Charles, on the other hand, were in much worse shape, with Chloe’s face swollen from the attack.

"Very good. They dared to harm my woman!" Eric nced at the group of people who had just attacked E, his expression dark and filled with menace.

"Take them all!" he ordered. At once, several bodyguards moved in.

Amid the scuffle, the youngest woman screamed, "Why are you arresting me? She’s the whore, the mistress, the slut..."

E’s lips twitched at the insult. She stepped forward and delivered a sharp p to the young woman’s face.

E’s eyes zed with anger, and the intimidating presence of Eric and his bodyguards made the other women cower.

"Who sent you?" E asked coldly.

The young woman red at E but remained silent.

"Take them to the police station," Ericmanded. "Mark, find me awyer. These women think they’re above thew? Let’s see how they enjoy a stint in jail," he added with a coldugh, as several reporters snapped photos furiously.

The women looked terrified.

Eric, apanied by so many bodyguards, was clearly no ordinary man.

Ordinary people wouldn’t hire bodyguards; they wouldn’t need to.

"Yes, Mr. Nelson!" Mark replied firmly.

"Oh my God, he’s Mr. Nelson! No wonder he looks so familiar and handsome!"

"Yeah, that’s Eric Nelson, the future head of the Nelson Group! He’s even more handsome in person than in photos!"

"I’ll talk! It was her who told us toe here and attack thisdy!" one older woman finally broke down.

The realization that facing prison was a far worse fate than they’d anticipated seemed to sink in.

"Yes, she promised us a thousand dors each... so we agreed!"

"She told me toe too!" another woman added.

All the women pointed at the young woman.

They had assumed they could beat E and escape without consequence. They hadn’t expected Eric’s timely arrival to foil their n.

Eric’s gaze turned even colder as he looked at the young woman. "You’re going to regret this," he said icily, as the bodyguards tightened their grip on the attackers, ensuring none of them would escape justice.

The young woman felt a pair of bloodthirsty, menacing eyes fixed on her. She looked up and saw Eric’s eyes zing with fury.

A chill and a deep fear rose from within her, realizing some forces were beyond her ability to resist.

"I... I’ll talk! A strange woman wearing sunsses stopped me at that corner... she told me if I did one thing, I’d get a hundred thousand dors!" the young woman stammered, her eyes filled with fear.

"I... I was blinded by money and hired these people to attack thisdy. We thought that as long as we didn’t cripple her, we would be fine..."

The young woman’s face turned deathly pale, and Chloe, upon hearing this, burst out angrily, "You despicable wretches! Hurting others for money! Mr. Nelson, don’t let them off, and find the mastermind behind this!"

Charles’s expression was equally dark. Under his watch, someone had dared to harm E!

Even more frustrating was his inability to protect her adequately.

Charles, though the future heir of the Carter Group, hadn’t started working at thepany yet, and many were unaware of his identity.

So Charles doesn’t need a bodyguard, but he didn’t expect that he would lose to Eric like this!

"Excellent. Mark, have the police find that woman! Take them to the station and let the police handle them properly!"

Eric wanted nothing more than to tear these foolish women apart, but he couldn’t act too rashly in front of the reporters.

"Yes, Mr. Nelson!"

The bodyguards escorted the sobbing women away, and E finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chloe, Charles, I’m so sorry. I never meant for you to get caught up in this," E quickly apologized to her friend and Charles.
