Chapter 310 Save Mr Vic
Her parents were just regular people, and her younger brother had only just finished his SAT exam. She had to be careful not to bring trouble to them.
Norman returned and leaned in to whisper something to Victor.
Victor looked at Aella. “You’re staying at Webster Manor tonight. Take the room next to mine.”
Aella’s heart leaped into her throat when she heard that.
At 1:00 a.m., the entire manor suddenly lost power.
Aella had never been a heavy sleeper, especially with so much on her mind.
She woke up to strange noises coming from the room next door and realized the lights had gone out.
She remembered the two men in power company uniforms she’d seen at the gate, and also Victor’s warning before bed. She didn’t dare use her phone for light and instead groped her way to the door.
Mr. Vic.
Aella crept into Victor’s room and called out softly.
In the dark, a hand covered her mouth and shoved her into a small cabinet under the desk.
With Victor’s urgent whisper in her ear, Aella shrank into the tiny space, her heart pounding.
Her first thought was that intruders had broken into the manor.
She couldn’t let herself drag Victor down.
A few minutes later, a beam of light suddenly sliced through the darkness, the patio window shattered, and several masked men rushed in.
Their first move was to go after Victor, who sat motionless in his wheelchair with only Norman at his side.
Peeking through a crack, Aella saw several attackers lunging at Victor with knives.
Panicking, she sprang from the cabinet and shoved Victor’s wheelchair to the far side of the room.
Caught off guard, Victor rolled away from Norman.
Norman was speechless.
Two knife–wielding men charged straight at Aella, and she ducked under the desk.
Just then, Tyrone arrived in time,
Aella shoved him toward the attackers. “Save Mr. Vic!”
Tyrone didn’t even have time to say anything to Aella before she pushed him out.
1/3
There was no room for hesitation. He raced to Victor’s side.
In the melee, Victor and Tyrone both found themselves surrounded.
Aella rushed in again, shielding Victor with her own body.
Tyrone was stunned as he watched Aella rush past him, putting herself in harm’s way to protect Victor.
He shoved his own feelings aside, shielding Aella with his body.
