Все главы Her Hot Bodyguard: Глава 21 - Глава 30

Taking on a high-profile fugitive was no easy task. Thomas Woods did not act alone. The man worked in teams and was a skilled sniper.Edward knew that facing Thomas alone was like committing suicide. Moreover, Elena's life was at stake. He didn't care about Amelia's fate. All he cared about was the safety of Elena and his father-in-law who had been so kind to him.He almost acted rashly by taking Elena away, but Alexander stopped him. They were outnumbered. Thomas' men were everywhere, and he was always watching them.If Edward was caught taking Elena away, then he too would be in danger and could be killed at any time along with Elena."What should I do, father? I don't want anything to happen to Elena," Edward said with frustration on his face. "Why did Amelia bring that jerk into our lives, when she herself won't take responsibility?""We're going to have to go along with him, son. If we dare to report him to the police or FBI, then Elena will be killed by then," Alexander replied

"Eh? Uh... Jack is Alan's best friend, and my bodyguard resigned two months ago, so yeah...that's it. Alan asked Jack for help choosing another bodyguard," Elena said and then grinned mischievously.Her palms were starting to sweat, as well as her forehead. Her eyes kept avoiding her father's gaze."Then during those two months, who was your bodyguard? So how come there's a rumor about you sleeping with your bodyguard? If your bodyguard has resigned, your lawyer shouldn't have to bother looking for evidence whether the photos and videos are real or fake. Just say that you don't have a bodyguard, and that should break the scandal."She swallowed with a pounding heart. Sweat ran down her temples. Now she knew what it was like to be her mother when her father was angry. This man did immediately give off an aura that scared her."That was...."The cell phone rang, making Elena let out a sigh of relief until she stroked her chest unconsciously. Whoever was on the phone, she was very gratef

"You look pathetic." Alan snorted, but then burst out laughing.When else could he see the cold man who could always intimidate anyone finally bend the knee to his father? Jack's face looked miserable, like he had just been in a boxing match."Look at your eyes. You look like you've been stung by a wasp." Alan burst out laughing again as he bent over and tapped his knee repeatedly.Jack just stared at Alan with a flat face. Even when a nurse applied alcohol to clean the wounds on his face, he didn't react at all.This wound was nothing compared to the wounds he had gotten when he was a field agent who had to go undercover a lot. He had even been nearly killed while infiltrating a terrorist den."By the way, how was your mission? I heard that they recruited new personnel and are conducting training there," Alan asked after finishing his laughter.Jack glanced at the nurse who looked like she wanted to overhear."Are you trying to satisfy your curiosity or are you working for someone el

In his entire life, this was the first time Jack had been a bodyguard. Honestly, it was boring, because he couldn't be free. But when doing missions, wasn't he also never free to do what he wanted?At first, he thought that being Elena's bodyguard must be very annoying. He had imagined how noisy and troublesome it would be to be next to her.But he was wrong. Elena Pierce was not the kind of woman you would find out there. She was strangely old-fashioned and too formal for her age.Jack even thought that she was in her thirties. He wondered, why would the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate look that unattractive?But his view changed when she treated him like a friend. It turned out that Nathan was right about this one. Elena never treated him like a subordinate, which made him feel at home working with her.Elena also often invited him to have lunch together at the same table. It was more like a coworker or a friend than a boss and a subordinate.So when he saw her lover, Lucas, didn

"I think I look better in this dress, Mom," Elena said after an hour of trying on several wedding dresses designed by a famous boutique frequented by wealthy families.Julia had forced Elena to call her "Mom", because she already liked Elena's humble personality. Never once did Elena show off her wealth, although she could have bragged about it."Hmm, I knew your taste would be simple. But this dress did look very elegant and classy when you wore it earlier. It looks like you're more of a model than a CEO," Julia replied while stroking her chin."So this is the dress, Miss?" the boutique owner asked politely."Yes, Miss. I like it very much. You're very good at designing dresses," Elena praised sincerely, making the woman smile happily.It wasn't as extravagant as other bridal gowns or a dress that looked like a princess in a fairy tale. It was more like the dress of a diva walking on the red carpet, only it was covered with brocade fabric all over the dress and fit Elena's body perfe
