Chapter 170:
“No way am I leaving. What makes you think I’d leave with you?” Elena exclaimed.
One quick gesture from Davin brought the bodyguards forward, hands clamping around Elena’s wrists. She shouted, “Take your hands off me! You’re going to regret this, every last one of you p>
“You leave us no other option, Ms. Green. If you won’t cooperate, we have to do things this way,” Davin said calmly.
Dragged along by the bodyguards, Elena felt her bravado melt into real terror. She spun toward Jordy, eyes desperate. “Jordy, please help me p>
Catching her, Davin turned to Jordy. “Mr. Green, are you coming along, or would you rather head back to Prevda p>
A string of curses slipped out as Jordy slid into the back seat of Davin’s car. Inside the car, he learned the truth about what Elena had done, and he could barely hold back his anger. Jordy felt utterly drained. Dealing with Elena’s endless problems had worn him out.
Reaching for his phone, he dialed Holley. Once she picked up, he got straight to the point. “Mom, I’ve had enough of Elena’s mess. Tell Uncle and everyone else to come to Kretol and sort this out p>
Holley, on the other end, struggled to keep her temper in check. She had always known Elena was pampered, but never thought she could be this reckless. Yet, with both the Green and Stewart families involved, she had no real choice but to take action.

Swallowing her irritation, she said, “Jordy, see if you can talk things out with Wyatt. Wait until I arrive. We’ll settle this together. Otherwise p>
“You honestly think Wyatt is going to change his mind that easily?” Jordy retorted before hanging up.
After about an hour, Elena found herself led to a shadowy basement. The chill in the air bit at her bare legs, and she hugged herself for warmth. As soon as the guards left, Elena darted to the heavy iron door, pounding on it with her fists. “Let me out! You can’t keep me here. This is illegal! Open up p>
Her shouts were ignored as the guards walked away without so much as a glance.
Just then, someone coughed behind her. Elena nearly jumped out of her skin, a shriek escaping before she could help it. Turning around, she spotted Barnard and let out a relieved sigh. He was disheveled and looked like he’d been through the wringer.
Panic quickly returned. She hurried to his side, asking, “Why are you here p>
Barnard didn’t even get a chance to speak before she accused him, “You ratted me out, didn’t you? You miserable coward! Are you trying to get me killed p>
Anger pushed her to swing at him, but Barnard caught her wrist midair. “How dare you accuse me of that? You’re the one who made me end up like this p>
If he’d known what kind of storm Elena’s tip would cause, he would have ignored her call from the start.
