Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Maybe They’re Using You
Just as Elara Don was about to reveal the truth from four years ago, Cole Hawke’s voice came from not far away.
"Elly, where are you!"
Elara Don’s words came to an abrupt halt.
"It’s Big Bro Hawke, he’s here as well."
Big Bro Hawke?
Cole Hawke?
Why would he come looking as well?
Damon Hawke furrowed his brow, watching Cole Hawke stride towards them, his jaw slightly tense.
This nephew of his is quite attentive to Elara Don!
"Tom, please let me down first."
Elara Don shifted her body, signaling Damon Hawke to set her down.
Damon Hawke lowered his eyes, looking into her clear bright eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing across his gaze.
Calling him big brother, then smiling so happily upon seeing him.
Does she have feelings for Cole Hawke?
"Tom?"
Elara Don saw Damon Hawke staring at her without speaking, and called out in confusion.
Damon Hawke said nothing but gently placed her on the ground.
Except his strong arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close in his embrace.
Possessive.
"Elly, are you alright?"
Cole Hawke stood before them, panting from his run.
Seeing Elara Don stay quietly in Damon Hawke’s arms, his eyes flickered.
The person here now must be Damon Hawke in disguise, right?
"I’m fine, Big Bro Hawke, thank you for coming to find me."
Elara Don thanked Cole Hawke.
"It’s nothing, as long as you’re safe and sound."
Cole Hawke smiled, his gaze falling on Damon Hawke, feigning confusion.
"Elly, did he rescue you? He is...?"
"Big Bro Hawke, let me introduce you, this is Thomas King, my boyfriend. Tom, this is Cole Hawke, my former school senior."
Elara Don introduced the two to each other.
Cole Hawke feigned realization, "So you are Elly’s boyfriend? Hello."
Yeah, he’s her boyfriend.
Upon hearing Elara Don’s introduction, Damon Hawke’s displeasure eased a little.
He nodded slightly to Cole Hawke and shook hands with him.
Cole Hawke looked at him with his aloof demeanor, eyes flickering with a shadowy glow.
"Elly, I had someone pull the road surveillance and saw you got into a private car. What happened afterward? Did the driver try to harm you? Where is the driver?"
Damon Hawke rescued Elara Don using a false identity.
It seems Elara Don’s affection for him must have skyrocketed now.
Women are emotional creatures.
Maybe a little thing will make her understand some things.
Damon Hawke saved her, Elara Don better not reveal the truth from four years ago!
He needs to do something!
"The driver tried to harm me, and he ran away now."
Elara Don paused, "He said someone bribed him to hurt me. And I have a suspicion, the person who bribed him might be Victoria Don."
Victoria Don planned to make her stay today, and then something happened to her.
This left her with no choice but to suspect.
After all, Victoria Don has always held animosity toward her.
"It shouldn’t be her."
Cole Hawke saw Elara Don ascertain it was Victoria Don and spoke up, "When I received your distress call, my first thought was also her. So I called her to verify. She swore vehemently that this matter had nothing to do with her. I think she wouldn’t be that idiotic. If it were truly her plan, it would be too blatant."
This point wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
Elara Don nodded, thoughtful, "If not her, then who could it be? Let me think of whom I’ve offended recently."
Who else harbors such a great grudge against her?
"Elly, those who do such things are usually from the underworld. Perhaps it’s not about whom you’ve offended, but someone might be using you to issue a specific warning, which is also possible."
The underworld.
Using her to issue a specific warning!
Elara Don was taken aback, her mind flashing with something, her gaze subconsciously fell on Damon Hawke.
Could it be as Cole Hawke said, someone using her to warn Thomas King?
After all, he had ties with the underworld before.
And looking at his current stance, with numerous subordinates, he seems like a head honcho in the underworld!
So, is someone seeking revenge?
Damon Hawke heard Cole Hawke’s words and furrowed his brow.
His words did have some reasoning.
However, why did he feel like Cole Hawke knew something, deliberately saying this?
His sharp gaze fell on Cole Hawke, who feigned composure but didn’t meet his gaze.
His purpose was accomplished.
What he aimed for was to keep Elara Don cautious around Thomas King even amid being moved by his sacrifices.
This way, she wouldn’t reveal the truth from four years ago to him.
"Elly, I said I’d get to the bottom of this matter. Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital."
Damon Hawke’s deep focus resurfaced, embracing Elara Don once more.
Elara Don held onto his neck and, seeing Cole Hawke looking at her, curved her lips, "Big Bro Hawke, thank you so much today, you can go back now."
Her mind’s a bit foggy right now, she needed some time.
"Alright."
Cole Hawke nodded, "Bea is at home, don’t worry."
"Thank you."
Elara Don replied.
Holding her, Damon Hawke paused his steps, glancing down at the woman in his arms, his aura sinking.
Are her ties with Cole Hawke a bit too close?
Damon Hawke carried Elara Don into the car, Chase Quinn started the car.
The two in the backseat remained silent for a while.
Damon Hawke’s thin lips pressed lightly, showing obvious anger.
Angry that she was too close to Cole Hawke.
Whereas Elara Don seemed a bit distracted.
Flashes of Cole Hawke’s words still lingered in her mind.
If it truly is as he said, should she still tell the truth to the man beside her?
He mixed with the underworld, if there truly is an enemy seeking revenge, what if Bea gets hurt?
"How did Cole Hawke know you were in trouble immediately?"
The man’s voice sounded in her ear, pulling Elara Don back to reality, she tidied a lock of hair beside her ear.
"Oh, right after I sent a message to you, he called me. I pressed the answer button to ask for help."
So that’s how it was.
Hence, he was her first outside contact for help.
Damon Hawke’s displeasure slightly dissipated.
Thinking of something, he said, "He mentioned Bea at home? So, did he pick up Bea from school in the evening?"
"Yes, I was too busy to pick up Bea, Kiki was also unavailable, just then he showed up, so he offered to pick up Bea for me."
Elara Don made no secret of it, answering truthfully.
"Next time if you’re busy, you can have me pick up Bea."
Damon Hawke’s mood, which had briefly cleared, grew clouded again.
He intended to spend his life with her.
If she were too busy to pick up her son, why didn’t she ask him to do it?
Instead, letting an outsider do it?
Unpleasant!
The man’s expression was stormy, looking visibly angry.
Elara Don moved her lips, hesitated before speaking.
Should she still let him continue interacting with Bea?
"Tom, you’re Craig Landers’ bodyguard, which is your visible occupation, but surely, you have sidelines in secret, right?"
