Chapter 1609
She turned to Holden and urgently said, “We have to save him.
Before Holden could reply, the door of the black car in the middle swung open.
A tall figure got out from the passenger side—it was none other than Bennett.
He stretched his neck and methodically cracked his knuckles, all while sporting a sinister smirk.
Ariana was all too familiar with that smirk on Bennett's face; it never preceded anything good.
Tension gripped Ariana.
She knew they wouldn't be allowed to leave without a confrontation.
Bennett undoubtedly had a plan for them.
Yet, Ariana was more concerned about Adrian’s safety than anything else.
The distance between their car and where Adrian was made it difficult for Ariana to assess Adrian's condition.
She could only hope that Bennett hadn’t yet harmed him.
Her heart sank as she watched Bennett walk over to Adrian and deliver a brutal kick to his abdomen.
The force of the kick doubled Adrian over in agony, yet he remained silent.

He looked up and fixed a fierce glare on Bennett.
After a brief pause, Bennett erupted in laughter and mocked, “Ah, those eyes! You look just like my favorite wild
dog.
Before Adrian could respond, Bennett delivered another forceful kick to his abdomen, even stronger than the
previous one.
Even Bennett's subordinates couldn't help but frown at the sight.
Bennett continued to kick Adrian, laughing with each blow as if he was enjoying the cruelty.
Adrian kept silent throughout, his cold, rebellious stare a silent protest against Bennett's brutality.
“Ariana, aren’t you going to step out of the car?” Bennett taunted while continuing his assault, looking towards
the road where Ariana’s car was.
“Good.
It seems you don’t care much for your friend.
Well, if that’s the case, | might just shoot him!”
When Ariana saw this, she wanted to get out of the car immediately.
However, she was stopped by Holden.
“I'll go save Adrian.
Just stay in the car so that the driver can immediately take you away if necessary.
| have made all the arrangements.
| need you to trust me.
" Holden tried to dissuade Ariana.
His eyes were firm.
It was as if he feared Ariana would be in danger again.
“No, | can’t just stay here,” Ariana refused resolutely.
Adrian was caught because of her.
She couldn't be so selfish.
“How can | leave you behind and escape alone? | can’t be that heartless.
Letgo.
| am Bennett's target, so I'm the only one who can save Adrian.

You will only anger him.
After spending many days with Bennett, Ariana already knew what kind of person Bennett was.
If he couldn't see her today, he wouldn't give up.
It would lead to terrible consequences.
Besides, they were in Bennett's territory.
They were at a disadvantage.
“No,” Holden firmly disagreed with Ariana.
He grabbed her hand more tightly.
“Yes, we all know that you are Bennett's target.
That's why it is more dangerous if you get out of the car.
Besides, we chere to save you.
The top priority is to let you escape from here.
Adrian and | are both grownup men.
We have many ways to escape.
