Chapter 287 Robberies during rush hours

"Allan! You ate bear bile, didn't you? You tried to give us away, right?"

Allan was thrown to the ground, sat up hurriedly and stepped back. He watched helplessly the man in black in front of him. "It was a big mistake. It was just a misunderstanding. I didn't say anything. I just approached her and took her home."

"Do you think we're stupid?" A bald head tore off Allan's cufflink clip, thus, it revealed the conversation between him and Linda. The warning was clearly visible. "Don't go near Allan. It's dangerous.

"You followed me? I've never done anything to betray your trust. She's just my friend"

He was not allowed to finish his speech. In a speed of light, they started to attack and punch him. A cold voice came from a car, it gave them orders. "Don't hit him in the face. His face can still be used."

Allan curled up, he held his head tightly and moaned under the savage blow. He knew it was just a warning, so he would not foolishly resist any more blows.

"Halt!"

After the loud applause, the men dispersed. It revealed Allan, who was lying on the ground. A man, dressed in tall boots that reached his knees, stepped closely. Allan said with a scared look on his face. "Oh, my God."

The guy punched Allan's jaw. It made him scream in pain and some blood went out of his mouth. The blood was from one of his teeth.

"Is it hard for you to call my name?" The man sat next to him, grabbed his hair, pulled Allan's head and lifted it.

Under the reflection of the car lights, the man's face sank into darkness and his cold voice grinded hoarsely on people's hearts. "I gave you a chance to atone for your sins, and it is your responsibility to deal with the traitor, Nicholas."

"No. I.." Allan trembled and did not know what he must say.

"If you will find any trace from the police or Alex, take Master Allan to the temple."

The man threw him on the ground and went back to the car. The man with the iron bar also retreated to his car and left quickly.

Allan looked at the two cars until both disappeared. He took out his mobile phone, looked at the picture on the screen and fainted.

"I'm sorry."

The picture on his mobile phone was Linda and she was smiling. She looked much younger than she was now.

The following week, Elly returned the school to Prosperity for research and she returned to her design room to manage. She felt that she had done the right thing as a professional. Although she was prettier than her teachers in an environment with friendly colleagues, she often looked at her.

Elly continued to take Kitten to school. Kitten decided to make a decision. "When I grow up, I will work hard to support Mom, so you will no longer have to work hard. I promise to take care of you and play with you always." Kitten said.

Elly playfully pinched Kitten's elegant nose and secretly felt guilty that she neglected her son again for the sake of work.

On the day of the reservation, as Elly had a contract to sign with her partner, she told her partner not to pick it up and go to the reservation point herself. Alex asked Harold to go directly to the reserved restaurant.

"Master! Is that Miss Prosperity?"

Alex bowed his head and sent a picture to Elly. When he heard Harold's question, he was casually sending the photo to Elly.

"Boss, it looks like something happened to Miss Prosperity." Harold slowed down and insisted on repeating his words.

Alex looked away from his mobile phone, looked out of the window and saw Prosperity limping on the road.

Stop the car!

Allan slammed on the brakes of the car and Alex walked near Prosperity and asked in surprise. "What's the matter with you? Can't you walk?"

Prosperity was walking sadly with her head bowed down on the road when she was suddenly blocked by someone. She continued walking and hit Alex' broad chest. Because her body's balance was unstable, her body followed the inertia and fell back.

"Be careful!" Alex shout. He reached out and put his arm around her shoulder. Unexpectedly, the force he used was so strong and the sleeves of the dress she was wearing was torn and damaged.

Prosperity cried shyly. She crouched on the ground with two naked shoulders because the sleeves of her dress were torn off. Some passers-by laughed at her.

Alex quickly took off his vest and ordered her. "Keep your head up! Don't sit on the floor. That would make others laugh at you."

Prosperity stood up, bit her lips and said, "Alex! Thank you! Every time something happens to me, you are always there to help me."

"What happened? Why do you look so pathetic?"

When she heard his question, Prosperity looked up, her pretty face was frowning. "I don't know what day it is today but I'm very unlucky. My bag was robbed within a few steps of walking. My phone and ID were in that handbag."

"Sneak attack during rush hour?" Alex looked at the crowded traffic at the bottom of the road and asked questioningly.

Harold's remarks did not allow Prosperity to have the opportunity to reply. "Boss, I caught a suspicious man. The guy hid in the flower bed to take pictures of Miss Prosperity"

A fat man with a chubby face was thrown on the ground, his head was bowed down and he dared not to look up. A brand-new mobile phone was in front of Alex. It was a picture of him putting on his coat on Prosperity's shoulders. The shooting angle is ingenious. It was showing that he was affectionately in love with her.

Alex slammed the phone on the ground and smashed the screen. His ferocious eyes shone directly into the fat man's face, which made the guy tremble.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong. Don't hit me."

"Which newspaper do you work for?" Harold kicked his ass, touched him with his hand and examined him.

"Newspaper? No, you misunderstood. I liked Miss Tan and I accidentally found her. I secretly followed her and took her pictures in the street. The pictures I captured was her, alone." The fat man shook his head in panic. "Well, I'm not a reporter."

He clumsily took his wallet, dug up all his ID cards and handed them to Harold with both hands for inspection.

"Boss, he is a student of the Academy of Fine Arts." Harold reported to Alex after he checked the documents.

Alek looked at his chubby face.

"My phone." The fat man saw his cellphone with its smashed screen and it looked like he wanted to cry. He wanted justice, but he caught Alex' ferocious eagle eye, and he thought that if he would continue to stay here, he would be killed in a few minutes.

Prosperity silently watched the fat man ran away and said apologetically to Alex. "I'm sorry, I did not expect that my reputation would have such an impact on you."

Alex nodded and did not say anything. He turned around and went to his parked car at the side of the road, unaware of the disappointed eyes of Prosperity who chased behind him.

"Change your clothes first and then you go to the restaurant." Alex gave Prosperity a big bag.

"This is..." Prosperity looked inside and found that it was a blue dress, not her favorite color. Jealousy ignited in her heart but she had to smile outside. Prosperity shook her head and returned the bag to Alex. "You bought this for Elly. I can't take it."

"If I allowed you to remain in this state, the Royal Council will be furious with me." Alex turned to give orders to Allan. "Ask Miss Prosperity to go to the cafe over there and borrow the clinic to change clothes. Watch her."

Under the pressure of Alex' refusal, Prosperity had to follow Allan.

Alex did not accompany her to change her clothes and she understood why. He doesn't want others to spread more rumors about the two of them anymore.

At the restaurant chosen by Prosperity, Elly hurried through the door and looked at the clock on her watch. She accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ms. Elly?"

Her waist was protected before she hit her shoulder against the delicate wooden door.

"Thank you!" Elly hurriedly pushed away from him and her clumsy evasion made the atmosphere awkward.

Nicholas put his hands behind his back and clasped them tightly to remind himself that he needed to stay calm. "Did you come alone? Where is Mr. Hargreaves?"

"He's busy, so I'll do it myself. Alex must have arrived first." She responded with a smile but was startled by his next remark and could not speak.

"I think you two broke up because I see you go alone now."

Surprised at that moment, Elly looked at him unhappily and her voice was not friendly. "Nicholas, I regard you as a friend, but you say such bad things."

"I didn't make it up. It was based on the evidence in front of me." Nicholas leaned towards her and whispered in Elly's ear. It was interesting for him to watch her retreat hurriedly. He pointed at something and said calmly.

Look at that intimate scene, everyone would have the same idea as me.

Elly turned and saw Alex came in holding Prosperity's waist. She was almost wrapped around Alex' body.
