"I'll go save Adrian. Just stay in the car so that the driver can immediately take you away if necessary. I have made all the arrangements. I need you to trust me." Holden tried to dissuade Ariana. His eyes were firm. It was as if he feared Ariana would be in danger again.

"No, I can't just stay here," Ariana refused resolutely. Adrian was caught because of her. She couldn't be so selfish. "How can I leave you behind and escape alone? I can't be that heartless. Let me go. I am Bennett's target, so I'm the only one who can save Adrian. You will only anger him."

After spending many days with Bennett, Ariana already knew what kind of person Bennett was. If he couldn't see her today, he wouldn't give up. It would lead to terrible consequences.

Besides, they were in Bennett's territory. They were at a disadvantage.

"No," Holden firmly disagreed with Ariana. He grabbed her hand more tightly. "Yes, we all know that you are Bennett's target. That's why it is more dangerous if you get out of the car. Besides, we came here to save you. The top priority is to let you escape from here. Adrian and I are both grownup men. We have many ways to escape."

“If the cost of letting me escape is putting you in danger, I'll choose not to be saved by you," Ariana said. There was no way she would just abandon them. "Let me get out of the car. Don't waste any more time."

"I said no. I can't let you get out of the car." Holden was also firm in his decision.

Ariana knew she couldn't persuade Holden. So, she opened the door and was about to go out directly.

When Holden saw this, he couldn't afford to hesitate. Before Ariana could step down, he knocked her out and let her sit properly. He fastened the seat belt for her, gently touched her face, and said to the driver coldly, “Take her to a safe place. Don't stop the car no matter what happens."

“Okay, sir," the driver replied, ready to rush out.

Holden opened the door and got out of the car. He would confront Bennett in person.

When Bennett saw the car door open, his expression softened. However, he then saw that it was not Ariana who got out of the car. He narrowed his eyes.

"It's you." Bennett recognized Holden at once.

During this period, he had been paying attention to the news in Eleymond. Naturally, he had a good understanding of the person who held power in the Fredrick family.

“No wonder Ariana can't forget you." Bennett was still smiling. But this time, his smile was scarier than before. "You really love her. You can even risk your life to save her. Even I am moved. But I won't let you two off just because I am moved."

“Well, that is no longer surprising. After all, your means are so despicable. Of course, you won't show mercy just because you are moved." As he spoke, Holden walked towards Bennett step by step. He looked at Bennett with eyes as cold as ice. "As a husband, it is only natural that I save my wife."

Holden intentionally stressed the word "wife" to declare his relationship with Ariana. However, Bennett only sneered, “Wife? How can you call her wife? As far as I know, you and Ariana haven't gotten your marriage certificate. It's just a fair competition between us. So, what's despicable about me? Who are you to say that to me?"

Bennett didn't take the bait. He also didn't get angry. On the contrary, he acted provocatively.

“Whether or not we have gotten our marriage certificate has nothing to do with you." Holden laughed angrily. He asked sarcastically, "As the master of the Olson family, do you want to be the secret lover of a woman who doesn't even love you?"

Holden was convinced that his words would get under Bennett's skin, but to his surprise, Bennett burst into laughter. His laughter echoed through the air, growing louder as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
