Chapter 176: Chapter 176: She Fled With the Baby, Master Ford Lost Control!
When Eleanor Valerius got up, Sebastian Ford had already left.
Another day trapped in the villa.
She knew it was important to stay positive during pregnancy, but she simply couldn’t be happy.
After brunch, she vomited once again, then quietly sat on the living room sofa, staring at the scenery outside.
Damian Lowell must be figuring something out, yet she didn’t know how much longer she’d have to wait.
By noon.
The signals within the villa’s range were suddenly disrupted and blocked.
"Be on alert!"
Nathan Kendrick was the first to sense something was wrong.
He rushed into the living room to ensure Eleanor Valerius was within his line of sight.
When he tried to call Master Ford, he found even communication had been rendered useless.
"What’s happening?"
Eleanor Valerius looked at Nathan Kendrick in confusion.
"It’s nothing."
Though normally reckless, Nathan Kendrick was very composed when executing a task.
Immediately, he walked to the living room door and instructed the bodyguards, "Don’t panic. If surveillance fails, use your eyes to keep watch! The basement has a safety shelter; retreat for defense if someone breaks in."
The top priority was ensuring Eleanor Valerius’s safety.
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius suddenly became nervous.
"Is there danger?"
"Stay close to me; I won’t let anything happen to you."
Originally, Nathan Kendrick’s strategy was correct.
However, suddenly a drone flew into the villa, dropping a mysterious smoke bomb.
"These fumes might be toxic. We can’t just sit here; we have to leave the villa and go to my brother’s place."
Nathan Kendrick instructed the bodyguards to get the car ready and turned back to Eleanor Valerius, saying, "Follow me."
Eleanor Valerius didn’t understand the situation but nodded and cautiously followed him.
The plan was to get into the car directly from the villa, but unexpectedly, the drone targeted the garage entrance with a mini-bomb.
"Split into three teams! Some of you deal with the drone; others drive out to clear the area, and the rest follow me closely to protect Miss Valerius!"
Nathan Kendrick commanded calmly, though he was worried inside.
He wasn’t afraid of losing, and he wouldn’t lose.
But if Eleanor Valerius got hurt, Master Ford wouldn’t forgive him!
To be so brazen in Aethelgard and openly oppose the Ford Family, the enemy certainly wasn’t an ordinary person.
At this moment, Eleanor Valerius, startled by the dangerous situation, followed closely behind Nathan Kendrick, protecting her abdomen with both hands.
As they left the villa, there was already an ambush waiting outside.
"Retreat!"
While confronting the enemy, Nathan Kendrick signaled the bodyguards to escort Eleanor Valerius away.
Eleanor Valerius hadn’t gone far with the bodyguards when she saw others rushing over, also ready for a fight.
Her steps were forced aside, missing the chance to get into the car that was blocked.
Suddenly, Eleanor Valerius discovered she might have a chance to escape.
Now that she was outside the villa, Nathan Kendrick and the Ford Family bodyguards were occupied.
She longed for freedom and stepped forward to leave but stopped.
No! There might be danger; she wasn’t alone now and had to consider the safety of the baby.
Just then, a sports car sped toward them.
Nathan Kendrick widened his eyes, wanting to rush over to protect Eleanor Valerius.
But the driver inside the sports car turned out to be Damian Lowell.
"Eleanor, get in; I’ll take you away!"
Eleanor Valerius was overjoyed; she’d had enough of being trapped by Sebastian Ford and didn’t hesitate when she had the chance to escape.
In an instant, she hurried over and got in the car.
"Eleanor Valerius! How could you go with Damian Lowell! My brother will be heartbroken!"
Nathan Kendrick hadn’t anticipated Damian Lowell orchestrating everything.
He was Sebastian Ford’s sworn enemy!
Why would Eleanor Valerius trust him and go with him? She was supposed to be Master Ford’s woman!
"I own my freedom!"
Eleanor Valerius turned her head to respond to Nathan Kendrick and left a message for Sebastian Ford.
Once inside the car, Damian Lowell intended to break through the blockade and leave.
But Nathan Kendrick stood in the car’s path; he couldn’t open fire lightly to stop them, lest he accidentally harm Eleanor Valerius inside.
Yet he knew Eleanor Valerius was very important to Master Ford; her escape reflected his incompetence.
"Heh, if you won’t move, don’t blame me."
Damian Lowell wasn’t wearing his glasses today; his deep black eyes couldn’t hide the sharp edge within.
Ever since he watched helplessly as Eleanor Valerius was snatched away by Sebastian Ford, the powerlessness and frustration fueled his anger.
Having planned today, he finally had the chance to get Eleanor Valerius, filled with hatred toward the Ford Family.
Nathan Kendrick was Sebastian Ford’s henchman; he intended to kill him too!
At this moment, Damian Lowell stepped hard on the accelerator, rushing forward.
Seated in the passenger seat, Eleanor Valerius could clearly see his intent to hit Nathan Kendrick.
"Don’t hit him! Nathan Kendrick is innocent; he hasn’t done anything wrong, and I wasn’t harmed here!"
Damian Lowell seemed unmoved and silent.
He sought revenge—a personal vendetta.
The distance closed quickly.
Nathan Kendrick didn’t dodge; Damian Lowell had no intention of avoiding him.
If the car at this speed hit someone, Nathan Kendrick would undoubtedly be seriously injured—this was intentional assault!
"Damian Lowell... Vincent, don’t hit him!"
Eleanor Valerius urgently reached out to grasp Damian Lowell’s arm, reminding him to stop.
In a critical moment.
Damian Lowell refrained from killing in front of Eleanor Valerius; in the end, he turned the steering wheel to avoid Nathan Kendrick, speeding away.
Behind them, Nathan Kendrick couldn’t catch up even if he tried.
The people Damian Lowell had left near the villa were still there, blocking the way.
"Dammit! We’re screwed! Get them!"
The Ford Family wanted to capture them; the opposition saw the plan’s success and was ready to retreat.
During the stand-off.
Sebastian Ford drove back.
Nathan Kendrick ran to him in panic, calling out, "Bro! Eleanor Valerius ran off with Damian Lowell! I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep her safe; she said it was her freedom. I remember Damian Lowell’s license plate number—if we chase now, we should still catch him!"
Sebastian Ford’s expression was grim as he stared at the retreating organization personnel.
After getting out of the car, his tall and imposing figure brought a sense of threat. He warned coldly, "Tell Second Young Master Sinclair, if he interferes with my private matters again, I’ll send a return gift. Ask him if he’s willing to take responsibility for Damian Lowell opposing the Ford Family!"
"So, they were Sinclair Family; no wonder they’re so formidable!"
Nathan Kendrick had thought they were Lowell Family.
By then, the Sinclair Family members, knowing their identities were exposed, hurried to leave.
Sebastian Ford stood at the villa entrance, surveying the devastation that mirrored his current mood.
"Bro, aren’t you going to chase them?"
Nathan Kendrick tentatively asked, but the anger that should have been there in Master Ford was nowhere to be seen, which was the most terrifying thing.
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford seemed to smile in fury, his gaze icy.
"Eleanor Valerius still ran away."
She even used fake prenatal test results to deceive him!
That moment, the hope of having a child seemed to vanish.
He suddenly felt a void inside.
In this life, he couldn’t tolerate deception and betrayal.
Eleanor Valerius wouldn’t escape.
Aethelgard was his domain; once he brought her back, she’d pay for it the rest of her life.
He wanted her to bear a child as compensation.
But, Sebastian Ford didn’t know Eleanor Valerius was truly pregnant.
...
Eleanor Valerius finally escaped with the child, but her heart was still restless.
"Eleanor, are you okay?"
Damian Lowell’s gaze softened as he looked at her again.
"A little shaken; I didn’t expect you to come like this to pick me up."
Eleanor Valerius laughed nervously.
"Sorry, I couldn’t contact you; today I barely managed to divert Sebastian Ford, I couldn’t fail to rescue you."
Damian Lowell immediately noticed the bite mark on Eleanor Valerius’s neck, his expression slightly odd.
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius blinked and asked curiously, "How did you manage to divert Sebastian Ford? He’s hard to trick."
She didn’t know Damian Lowell had used the child within her to lure him.
