The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 304

Elias held her even tighter as if telling her not to be afraid. Even though they were in the dark, for a moment, Amanda felt like the world around her was filled with light. “What kind of sound is that?” Amanda blurted.

Before Elias could answer, Taylor flew into a rage. He wanted to hit Elias, but the darkness prevented him from seeking the guy out, so he roared. “What the hell are you doing? You hurt my sister badly enough, so stop this right now!”
