CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: THE WOMAN IN ELIAS WARNER’S ARMS IS ANNELISE WINTER

In the room, Elias Warner frowned and yanked off his tie, even taking off the suit jacket that had been touched by others.

He still felt something was off.

He took a brisk three-minute shower and changed clothes.

He stepped out the door, but Annelise Winter’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

And Annelise wasn’t around Lucas Lowell either.

Renee Perry, however, walked up to Elias Warner at this moment.

According to the schedule, Wayne Young should have already succeeded.

She was in a very good mood now.

Renee saw the displeasure on Elias Warner’s face and probably guessed what was going on.

"Elias, haven’t you seen my future daughter-in-law? The banquet is about to start, you need to make your entrance!"

"Make what entrance? Mom, where’s Annelise?"

Elias Warner questioned.

"Why are you looking for her? I just saw her chatting with the Lowell Family’s eldest son; maybe seeing you getting married makes her want to marry too!"

"Mom, you know what I’m talking about!"

Elias Warner’s cold look made Renee feel scared.

"How can you speak to your mother like that?"

Elias Warner didn’t want to waste time here with Renee.

He directly called Annelise.

Room 220.

Wayne Young lunged towards Annelise.

Only to see a gleaming dagger against his neck.

"Let go of me!"

Annelise’s cold voice echoed.

"Clang!" The dagger fell to the ground.

The dagger in Annelise’s hand dropped to the ground.

Wayne Young sneered, "You actually brought a knife! You think I haven’t been in this society for long enough; the fiercer your temper, the more I like it!"

Wayne Young raised Annelise’s arms.

Pressing Annelise beneath him.

Annelise couldn’t move, watching Wayne Young’s lecherous face slowly closing in on her.

She turned her head aside, struggling desperately, but it seemed the more she struggled, the more excited Wayne Young became, and the harder he grasped her hands.

Was her innocence going to be destroyed like this?

For some reason, Annelise started crying in grievance.

Her mind was filled with memories of moments spent with Elias Warner.

"Damn it, buzzkill, why are you crying? I’ll make sure you enjoy it!"

Wayne Young tore frantically at Annelise’s dress.

The hem of the dress was already ripped into pieces.

Outside the room.

Elias Warner was calling Annelise, searching room by room.

Annelise’s phone rang in room 220.

Wayne Young didn’t bother with Annelise’s phone.

Elijah Warner heard the phone ringing from the room in front of him, then quickly walked towards the room and kicked the door fiercely.

"Bang!"

The door swung open.

The scene before him fell into Elias Warner’s eyes.

His eyes were filled with crimson rage, furiously pulling Wayne Young away from Annelise and kicking him again, sending him sprawling on the floor.

He took off his coat and draped it over Annelise.

"Eli... E-Elias Warner..."

Wayne Young initially wanted to rage, wondering who was this unseeing fool ruining his moment, but looked up only to see Elias Warner, turning pale.

Sputtering in his speech due to his nervousness.

"Shut up!" Elias Warner coldly snorted, his dark leather shoes pressing harshly between Wayne Young’s legs.

Wayne Young’s face turned pale, unable to speak.

The screams inside the room were exceedingly harrowing.

Zane and Uncle Ford rushed in upon hearing the commotion, seeing Wayne Young screaming miserably on the ground, then glanced at Elias Warner and the woman in his arms.

Even though Elias Warner tightly wrapped the woman’s body and face in his coat, Uncle Ford could tell the person in his arms was Annelise.

"Clean up, and throw this man out of the banquet for me!"

"Yes, young master!"

Zane and Uncle Ford hoisted Wayne Young and walked out.

Everyone in the banquet hall looked upstairs.

Because Wayne Young’s screams were just too shrill.

As everyone looked this way, they happened to see Elias Warner holding a woman in his arms.

They just couldn’t see the woman’s face.

Everyone whispered amongst themselves.

Renee Perry was standing downstairs, she glanced at Elias Warner and then at Wayne Young being dragged by Zane and Uncle Ford.

Coincidentally, Wayne Young’s gaze looked painfully at Renee, seemingly asking for help.

He knew Elias Warner’s methods.

In business warfare, Elias Warner’s ruthless tactics were intimidating.

Yet, today’s incident was clearly orchestrated by Renee.

How could Elias Warner, as Renee’s son, treat him like this?

"Mrs. Warner, save me, it wasn’t you..."

Wayne Young trembled, unsure if it was the pain or the fear of Elias Warner’s methods.

"President Young, I graciously invited you to my son and daughter-in-law’s banquet, and you cause trouble at my banquet? You’re hitting our Warner Family in the face, throw him out quickly!"

Renee’s fierce voice surged forward like another dagger, sentencing Wayne Young to death, yet he dared not make a sound.

Elias Warner frowned.

His cold, sharp gaze swept over Renee.

"Elias, where are you going?" Renee tried to stop Elias Warner.

Silently cursing Wayne Young in her heart.

This fool, given the opportunity yet failing, couldn’t even succeed!

Her painstaking efforts wasted.

She was too afraid to meet her son’s eyes.

She could only handle the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s incident has yet to be investigated thoroughly, I ask everyone to keep it to yourselves, pretend you’ve seen nothing!"

Renee instructed those present.

Her concern was the Warner Family’s reputation, fearing Elias Warner’s suspicion.

She didn’t want to ruin her image in her son’s eyes due to a trivial matter.

Everyone present nodded, as no one dared offend the Warner Family.

Elias Warner seemed not to hear Renee’s words and prepared to leave with Annelise.

"Elias, you’re the star of this banquet, are you leaving?" Renee tried to stop him.

Her palms clenched tightly, suppressing her inner anger.

If Elias Warner left now, what would happen to the banquet?

Someone else equally filled with jealousy was Elias Warner’s fiancee.

Her hands turning red from her own grip.

Too much jealousy, driving her to madness.

If Elias Warner left, how would Mrs. Warner introduce her as the future Mrs. Warner to everyone?

Renee couldn’t speak harshly, after all, she had to consider the Warner Family’s image.

Only blame Wayne Young for being too incompetent.

Elias Warner left triumphantly.

Everyone at the banquet began to discuss again.

If the main character had left, would the banquet continue?

Elias Warner holding Annelise, bundled tightly, carried her into the car.

From outside, nothing could be seen inside his car.

Only then did Elias Warner take off the coat from Annelise.

Elias Warner seated Annelise in the passenger seat, pulled the seatbelt out, and clicked it into the buckle.
