Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 73

Tabitha did not get a response but heard a fight, and soon, the phone was hung up.

Tabitha was a little worried. Obviously, many people were fighting on the other end of the phone. She

could not risk her child.

Tabitha calmed down and called the police first.

Anyway, Emmanuel went there to pry the information for her.

She could not leave Emmanuel alone until she was sure that he was that

man.

After talking to the police, she put on a thick coat and hat and walked out of the house in the rain.

Soon, Tabitha arrived at Abundance Resto and hurried inside.

The driver looked at the splendid bar and thoughtfully called Malcolm to report Tabitha’s whereabouts.

“Mr. Sinclair, I’m afraid something bad might happen to Mrs. Sinclair if she comes here at night,” the

driver added.

Malcolm’s face darkened slightly. He asked, “Did she say what she went there for?”

“She didn’t say anything,” the driver said.

“Follow her and keep an eye on her. I’ll be right there,” Malcolm instructed.

Malcolm hung up the phone with a sullen face, informed Alaric, and quickly left the annual party.

Recalling the scene of Tabitha’s accident at Four Seasons Bar last time, he felt a bit agitated and

decided to drive to Abundance Resto himself.

Tabitha entered the bar. There appeared to be a commotion in the lobby, so she hurriedly walked over.

Emmanuel was surrounded and beaten by a group of fierce men, and his face was covered with

bruises.

Some people gathered not far away to watch the scene and cheered from time to time.

The security guards at the bar did not show up. It was as if they were dead.

Tabitha was shocked. She had never expected Emmanuel to encounter such trouble.

She hurriedly walked over to help him up. “How are you? Are you all right?” asked Tabitha.

John did not expect a woman to pop up, so he raised his hand and motioned for his minions to stop.

Emmanuel was seriously injured, with blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth. However,

there was no fear in his eyes, only a faint but dark anger.

He did not expect Tabitha to come. He tried to suppress the raging emotions and restore his usual

gentle expression.

“Why are you here?” he asked.

“I was worried that you might have gotten into trouble. Who are those people, and why did they beat

you?” Tabitha asked in a low voice.

“I’ll explain it to you later. You go back first,” Emmanuel said quickly.

If something happened to Tabitha here, Alaric would not spare him.

Right then, John seemed to come back to his senses. He looked at Tabitha and grinned, revealing his

rotten teeth.

“Who are you? Are you Emmanuel’s girlfriend? Are you here to send him money?” John asked.

Although Tabitha did not know what had happened, she knew that she had acted too reckless this time.

However, since she was already here, she

could not cower.

She stood up straight and looked at John. “How much do you want?” she asked.

When John saw Tabitha’s beautiful face clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He answered,

“400 thousand dollars.”

Emmanuel’s father owed him over 20,000 dollars. Later, Emmanuel reported his father, causing John to

be sent to prison for several years too. John did not think it was too much for him to ask for 400

thousand dollars from Emmanuel.

The man had two scars crisscrossed on the left side of his face, making

him look ferocious.

Tabitha was a little nervous. She quietly pinched her fingers and maintained a calm facade.

“I can give you the money, but I don’t have so much right now,” she replied.

John said, “Since you don’t have the money, I won’t take it.” He stared at Tabitha’s beautiful face and

smiled lasciviously before adding, “If you were to spend one night with me…”

John was a notoriously lewd man, and he had a preference for soft and gentle girls.

Tabitha was beautiful. She wore a clean and tidy cotton coat that day. Her smooth, tanned skin and

slender, petite figure created an illusion of meekness that greatly intrigued John.

Emmanuel’s expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, “Tabitha, I will distract them later.

Go!”

Tabitha looked into Emmanuel’s eyes and immediately understood that today’s incident could not be

resolved with money alone.

While they were talking, John leaned over to Tabitha. He could not wait to touch her face.

Suddenly, Emmanuel recalled the scene of being forced by these people to cut off his pinky when he

was a child. The intense rage in his body finally burst out of its confines. He punched John heavily in

the face, pulled Tabitha away, and ran off.

John covered his bloodied face and shouted, “Catch that woman!”

The driver happened to come in. Seeing this, he was a little flustered and asked, “What’s going on,

Mrs. Sinclair?”

Tabitha immediately raised her voice and said, “Call the police!”

However, before the driver could take out his phone, he was kicked away by John, who came after

Tabitha.

The three people were immediately surrounded by a gang of people, and things looked bad for them.

John stood in front of Tabitha and came closer to her with each step he took. His smile grew even more

grim and greedy. “What do you think? Would you like to spend the night with me?” he asked.

Just then, a tall figure suddenly walked in.

Malcolm appeared, wearing a sleek black suit with spotless cuffs. The gold

buttons gleamed brilliantly under the light, emphasizing his noble aura that could not be overlooked. He

demanded, “Who dares to touch her?”

Those gangsters seemed to have never encountered such an imposing presence, so they could not

help but step back, making way for Malcolm.

Malcolm strode toward Tabitha and pulled her up, scanning her from head to toe to make sure she was

not hurt. Then, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

‘Fortunately, I arrive in time. The hotel where the annual party is held is not far from here!‘ Malcolm

remarked inwardly.

Tabitha was a little surprised by Malcolm’s sudden appearance. She felt

relieved nonetheless.

John came back to his senses and glared at Malcolm. He growled, “Pretty boy, where did you come

from? Are you looking for death?”

Malcolm stood up straight in front of Tabitha, staring at John coldly without even moving his eyebrows.

Meanwhile, Saul stood in front of Malcolm and reached out to stop John. His voice was cold and stiff as

he warned, “Get lost if you don’t want to die.”

John commanded respect in his circle. Provoked by Saul’s words, he

immediately gestured to his minions with a fierce expression. He ordered, “Come here!”
