He looked at Elijah and said, “I have arrived. You released Anna and Laetitia. What do you have against me?”

Elijah looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes full of hatred: “After all these years, you really haven’t changed a bit.”
Not only did he always secretly think of Anna, but he also secretly took Anna abroad, and even destroyed all his property, forcing him into a desperate situation.
Kendall stared at Elijah and said, “Elijah, you have nothing left now. If you release Anna, I promise to spare you and not exterminate you.”
Elijah laughed, somewhat sadly, and said, “But without her, what use do I have for anything else?”
The moment Anna saw Kendall, she couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up abruptly, looking at Elijah. “Elijah, what do you want to do?”
Elijah squinted his eyes, the crazed possessiveness almost overwhelming in his gaze.
He suddenly raised his hand and pulled Anna into his arms, then bent down to capture her lips.
“Anna!”
Kendall immediately rushed towards Anna.
However, Elijah’s bodyguard was prepared and struck Kendall directly in the back with a stick.

Kendall stumbled and fell forward, being directly pinned to the ground by Elijah’s bodyguard.
“Kendall!” Anna couldn’t help but shout, then looked urgently at Elijah. “Elijah, let him go! Don’t hurt them, I’ll go with you, can’t I go with you?”
Kendall was hit with a stick, causing sweat to break out on his forehead from the pain.
Upon hearing Anna’s words, he suddenly looked up and exclaimed, “Anna! No! You can’t go with him!”
Anna looked at him with tears in her eyes, and then grabbed Elijah’s clothes tightly.
The light in her eyes shattered and dimmed: “Stop it, Elijah, I beg you. I give up, I won’t run anymore. You can keep me wherever you want, make me do whatever you want, I just beg you not to hurt them, spare them.”
Kendall looked at her humble appearance and shouted anxiously, “Anna, don’t!”
Laetitia also kicked her legs desperately, shouting, “Mom, don’t leave me behind! Don’t go!”
Anna was trembling with sobs, but she didn’t dare to look at them at all, just enveloped in the atmosphere of sadness.
Kendall saw that Anna had almost given up hope.
He struggled desperately, enduring the pain as he shouted at Elijah, “Elijah, have you forgotten! Have you forgotten what Anna looked like, covered in blood and bruises? She was unconscious for a whole month! Just waking up was a miracle in itself, you’ve already pushed her to the brink once, do you want to do it again? Elijah! You can’t take her away,

you can’t!”
Elijah held Anna in his arms, but he felt that the distance between them. was so far.
He cradled Anna’s face, bent down and kissed the tears in her eyes, his voice filled with shattered pain.
“Anna, please don’t cry, okay? I once swore to myself to always treat you well, never letting you shed a tear for me, but why… why has it turned out like this… why is it that when I see you, all that’s left are tears, no more love, being with me just makes you so miserable?”
“I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have controlled you, shouldn’t have hurt you, I really know I was wrong… Why can’t you give me another chance?”
In the end, his voice had become almost a little more helpless and
confused.
Anna passively endured, but tears flowed more and more violently, leaving only despair on her face.
Elijah trembled as he touched her cheek.
His voice was very soft, but it carried a chilling fierceness that made. Anna shudder.
“On my way to visit you abroad, I had originally planned to kill Kendall! To prevent him from causing trouble between us and from pursuing you! You are mine… and only mine!”
Anna suddenly widened her eyes and looked at him, with fear in her eyes.
When Kendall was mentioned, she finally looked at him, and Elijah smiled sadly.
