The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Saved by the Light

"I see you!"

The originally silent factory began to grow noisy, as if the entire factory was filled with Shane Southwell’s angry shouting. It was ubiquitous, startling the birds on the trees and constantly unsettling the two people hiding in the trash bin outside the corridor.

"Don’t be afraid~ I’m here, you won’t die." Hannah Collins slowly raised her hand, holding the trembling Elliana Lyle in her arms.

If she hadn’t been shot in the leg, she would still have the ability to fight Shane Southwell. But she was injured, Shane had a gun, and her chances of winning were only 50%.

Yet this fragile Little Sprout had to be so righteous, so she dared not act rashly.

"Elliana Lyle! Stop trembling! I see you!"

Shane Southwell’s voice approached, Elliana felt as if she could hear the limping footsteps. In that instant, she stopped shaking, not even daring to breathe.

Soon, Shane Southwell emerged from the corner, the empty corridor dead silent, broken window glass already adhered with dust.

With his limping steps, he had reached an old trash bin. At a glance, the bin was full of dust-covered papers, and on these papers were a few thumbprints, unusually conspicuous.

Seeing the thumbprint, Shane Southwell laughed crazily but made no sound, resembling a lunatic who had escaped the asylum.

Bang, bang, bang! Three successive gunshots rang out, smoke rising from the muzzle.

The nearby birds were startled into flight, the muffled gunshots echoed long within the factory before dissipating.

Outside the trash bin were flying paper scraps, while inside dust rose, everything returning to silence.

"Elliana, why aren’t you shouting in pain?" The man leaned against the trash bin’s edge, blew on the gun’s barrel, then reached to lift the cardboard, eager to see Elliana dead.

As he lifted several pieces of cardboard, Shane Southwell’s smile froze. The empty trash bin had a few holes at the bottom, but no sign of Elliana.

"Elliana! Elliana―――! Dare to trick me! You dare to trick me―――!" He violently pushed over the trash bin, unable to steady himself due to his agitated emotions, falling along with the bin.

...

"The little girl is quite clever." Hannah Collins leaned half her body against Elliana Lyle, holding a stick for support, walking step by step down the stairs.

Elliana remained silent, at the last moment, she couldn’t just wait there, praying Shane Southwell wouldn’t find them.

Because she knew what being discovered meant, just like the three gunshots echoing near her ear earlier.
