Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 263

One of the drunk men grabbed Eleanor, while another lunged toward Nora.

“Hey, another lovely lady! Come on, let’s have some fun—he’s paying for everything tonight,” the man slurred, his smirk disgusting.

Nora cursed Eleanor under her breath.

Clenching her jaw, she spun around and bolted.

Both of them couldn’t get dragged away. Someone had to escape.

She raced toward the private room, but hadn’t gone more than a few steps before the man caught up to her.

“Hey, beautiful, I’m not a bad guy—don’t run,” he said, yanking Nora back so hard that he slammed open the door to a private suite.

There were people inside. Quite a few.

Before Nora could even process what was happening, the man’s grip on her wrist vanished. In the next instant, he was yanked away, leaving Nora behind.

Louis’s voice cut through the confusion. “Get out.”

The man stumbled and fled, not daring to look back.

Louis nodded a brief apology to the people at the table, then ushered Nora out.

“What happened?” he asked.

Nora barely had time to catch her breath. “Eleanor’s still in trouble—one of those guys dragged her off.”

“I’ll call Daniel.”

Louis grabbed Nora by the wrist. “You’re not safe alone. I’ll have the manager look for her.”

He called the manager. Within minutes, word came back—they’d found her.

Nora and Louis hurried to the scene.

The private suite was a wreck.

Daniel had a man pinned, landing brutal punch after punch—each blow landed with a sickening sound that made Nora’s teeth clench. Two more men lay sprawled and moaning on the floor.

In the corner, Eleanor cowered, her clothes torn and half off her body, red marks showing starkly against her skin.

Eleanor collapsed against him, sobbing. “I thought you’d never come…”

Hans hesitated, then patted her back, murmuring comfort until her cries faded. Once she’d calmed, he helped her up and led her toward the door.

But as they passed Nora, Eleanor stopped.

Tears streaked her pale cheeks, making her look heartbreakingly fragile.

“Nora, why did you leave me?” Her voice rang out, shocking everyone.

Nora’s brow knit. “I didn’t.”

Eleanor grew more agitated, clutching the coat tighter.

“You saw them grab me,” she wept, her words tumbling out between sobs. “But you still ran away. You left me there to be hurt.”

She broke down, accusing Nora of abandoning her in her hour of need.

Nora let out a bitter laugh, whatever sympathy she’d felt for Eleanor evaporating. “What exactly was I supposed to do, Eleanor? There were two of them. Should I have stayed so we could both get dragged off? Or did you want me to trade places with you?”
