Gareth's eyes gleamed briefly with a cold, piercing intensity, overshadowed by a strong sense of disdain.

"Whoever it is. I hope his courage is enough, but I doubt his luck will hold."

Gareth dropped these words with a cold tone, his hand firmly clasping Elisa's waist as they continued their stride.

However, his actions stirred something deep within her, making her uneasy. She instinctively tried to push him away. "Gareth, what are you doing? It's just someone following us..."

His sudden action caught her off guard. Although Elisa had no idea who was trailing them, fear was the last thing on her mind. And naturally, Gareth felt the same way.

He spoke with determination, "They are coming for my family again. I won't let anything happen to you."

Elisa didn't say anything because she didn't know how to react.

Shortly after, Gareth guided her into a car. However, Gareth intended to take the driver's seat. Observing this, Elisa promptly intervened. "Just give me the address, and I'll drive."

"No need," Gareth refused her, and in the next instant, he was already in the driver's seat, buckling up his seatbelt.
