Chapter 54
The female assassin started whining where she was on the ground. Beau put away his gun
expressionlessly and turned his head to look at Eliza, who was staring blankly at the wall. “Are you
alright?” “I… I’m fine.”
Eliza, who was still in shock, came to herself and shook her head with a pale face. D Although she often
saw equipment like guns when she was working as a crew member on set, this was really the first time
she had seen a real one. A few minutes ago, Beau had used this gun to wound the killer. The smell of
blood in the air and the blood all over the ground made her go weak. “Are you really okay?” “I’m… really
fine.” Beau turned around and walked toward the door. When he reached the door, he realized that Eliza
had not followed him. He frowned and turned his head. “Aren’t you leaving?” Eliza bit her lower lip. “I…”
Her legs were too weak to move. O Looking at her hesitant expression, Beau smiled slightly and
guessed why she was not leaving He shook his head helplessly and strode forward to pick her up in a
bridal carry. Eliza pursed her lips and somewhat bashfully settled into his embrace, allowing Beau to
carry her outside. Leaning against his chest, she could feel the movement of his breathing and the
rhythm of his heartbeat. For some reason, Eliza’s face turned red. “Eliza!” As soon as they came out of
the showers, Graciana hurried over. “Eliza, are you all right?” Eliza pursed her lips and raised her head
to smile at Graciana. “I’m fine.” Her legs were a little weak, that was all. “How could this happen.”
Graciana bowed her head and sighed deeply. “I just called my parents to tell them that I’m safe. You
just.” I bouplar

with that woman?” Beau made an indifferent noise of acknowledgment. He carried Eliza and turned around to leave. “She’s scared out of her wits. I’ll bring her home now.” Stunned for a second, Graciana
quickly ran after him. “What about me?” Beau didn’t even turn his head. “My assistant will take you
home.” As soon as he said that, Noah came to stand in front of Graciana and gestured in the direction of
the car. “Miss Ryan, let’s go.” Graciana pursed her lips and looked in the direction that Beau had taken
with Eliza in his arms. “If we’re driving back, then they…” Noah smiled. “It’s rare for Mr. Valentine to have
the chance to take a walk with Mrs. Valentine. We shouldn’t disturb them.” Graciana had a sudden
realization. It was not accurate that Beau wanted to send Eliza back to the hotel. His true purpose was to
hold her longer, wasn’t it? Thinking of this, she smiled cunningly. “It seems that Mr. Valentine really likes
Eliza very much!” “Of course. Mrs. Valentine is the first woman that Mr. Valentine cares so much about.”
Graciana squinted at him. “Nonsense.” “If Eliza is the first, What about Braint and Demarion’s mother?”
Noah froze, then ducked his head. That woman… He couldn’t figure out how Mr. Valentine felt for that
woman.

The sea breeze blew on the beach that night, chilling all those on the shore. Carrying Eliza, Beau walked
slowly by the seaside. “I thought you’ve experienced a lot while working for Parson Media.” Beau said
blandly as he walked. “It seems that I overestimated you.” Eliza was speechless. Lying in his arms, she
took in Beau’s familiar masculine scent while silently pursing her lips. “Everything we see on set is
fake…” But what had happened just now was real! Eliza’s body trembled slightly. After a long while, he
said softly, “Were you afraid?”
His voice was gentle.
Eliza buried her head in Beau’s chest and said in a muffled voice, “A little.”
“That kind of thing may happen a lot more in the future.” Beau let out a long sigh and looked into the
distance indifferently. “Eliza, I thought you already understood me before marrying me.” But now it
seemed that she did not. Eliza licked her lips and raised her head. She looked at him with sparkling eyes
and said nothing Beau shook his head helplessly. “My competitors are not only those in other
companies, but also the members of the Valentine family who are fighting for the inheritance.” “From five
years ago, my opponents have never stopped trying to kill me.” “What happened today often happens
around me.” He said in a low voice, “Eliza, it’s not too late to divorce me now” Eliza looked at him. Under
the moonlight, Beau’s profile looked exceedingly chiseled. She recalled the wound on his shoulder last
night. She remembered what Noah had said about Beau’s experience five years ago… For some
reason, she felt that Beau was lonely. In the eyes of others, this arrogant and elegant man was
unattainable. But actually, he also had his weaknesses and moments of loneliness, right? Almost
subconsciously, she grabbed Beau’s collar. “Beau.” She looked at him, the moonlight reflected in her
eyes. “I won’t leave you.” “Since I’ve decided to marry you, I won’t go back on my word.” The light in
Eliza’s eyes was serious and stubborn. Looking at her eyes which were brighter than the moonlight,
Beau smiled. “Alright.” He lifted his head, held her in his arms, and strode toward the hotel. Soon, the
sound of Eliza’s even breathing came from his arms. Beau sighed helplessly and tightened his grip on

When Eliza woke up again, it was already the next morning.
She opened her eyes and yawned. When she was about to turn over, she found that she could not
move. When she took a closer look, she realized that she was being held tightly in Beau’s embrace.
Beau was still sleeping soundly. The morning sun shone on his sculpted face, giving him a breathtaking
charm. Looking at his face, she felt her heartbeat speed up a little. So she turned away awkwardly and
raised her hand to push his arm aside. “Don’t move about.” She heard Beau’s deep voice. Eliza stopped
suddenly. She pursed her lips and lay in his arms, looking up at his handsome profile. “Are you awake?”
“If you don’t move, I can still sleep for a while longer.” Beau closed his eyes. His voice had the unique
edge of laziness and loftiness that came with being newly awakened. Hearing his seductive voice, Eliza
bit her lip. “But…” Eliza continued trying to push away his arm on her. “I still want to get up.”
Nevertheless, he held her tightly and did not let go, as if he had plans to take her to sleep again. Eliza
panicked. She quickly grabbed his arm. “Beau, you…” “You’d better let me go.” Beau closed his eyes
and asked coldly, “Why?” “Because…” She blushed and said, “I need to use the bathroom…” . “I need to
go now.” As soon as she finished speaking, Beau withdrew his arm. “Thank you!” Eliza hurriedly crawled
out of bed and quickly entered the restroom. Before entering, she looked back at him. “Don’t worry, I will
continue sleeping with you when I come out!” After that, the door of the washroom was slammed shut.
On the bed, Beau switched to a more comfortable position. He closed his eyes and smiled slightly. “This
little idiot,’ he thought.
