Chapter 299 Saving the Day
"Sir, you are handsome and charming, with an extraordinary demeanor," Elsa flattered insincerely, hiding her fear while subtly stepping back.
"Then can you keep me company?" The man even tried to grab her hand.
Elsa had no way to retreat. The only thing within reach was a plastic stool near the cash register for customers to rest on. She grabbed it, ready to fight back if he lunged at her.
He did lunge at her. Before he could reach Elsa, someone locked his throat from behind and threw him to the ground in front of everyone.
"Mr. Taylor said that although they are divorced, the bond between them remains. Anyone who dares to harass Ms. Miller is opposing the Taylor Group." Two bodyguards in black stood in front of Elsa.
Elsa remembered the one who spoke; he was the one Luke had assigned to guard her when she was under house arrest.
The onlookers were stunned, not daring offend the Taylor Group. They were all shocked to see how the Taylor family protected Elsa in private.
The Taylor Group had immense power in Maplewood City. The crowd was terrified, and Jasmine, recalling Luke's previous punishments, shrank back in fear.
"Ms. Miller, you can rest assured that this won't happen again," the bodyguard quickly reassured Elsa.
"Thanks. Tell Luke no need to protect me in the future. As long as the Taylor family manages their own people, I'll be safe," Elsa said as she managed to get away, casting a meaningful glance at Jasmine.
"It's your own fault. You deserve it!" Jasmine couldn't hold back under Elsa's gaze. She loved to argue and didn't want to lose face.
"Ms. Taylor, I was already wronged that the Taylor family had slandered me. If you keep this up, don't blame me for exposing everything in front of these people," Elsa said, her eyes full of pity for Jasmine. How could she be so foolish? It truly confirmed Chloe's saying that the Taylor family's intelligence was passed down to the men.
Jasmine knew that at least fifty percent of the content in that article was fabricated, especially since she had contributed significantly to it. She was aware of Luke's fury over the matter. In front of Luke's bodyguards, Jasmine didn't dare say anything more.
Elsa gave her a disdainful look and left after paying.
Since the incident, Luke had arranged bodyguards to protect her. Today, they proved useful.
Listening to Max's report, Luke's face darkened.
"Have Jasmine punished. Tell Elsa that she can decide Jasmine's punishment," he ordered in a deep voice.
"Understood!" Max responded quickly. Thinking of the slap that day, he felt uneasy. Now that Luke had given Elsa the power, she wouldn't let Jasmine off easily.
Whether the drunkard was a passerby or one of Jasmine's people was unknown, but fortunately, Luke's men were there today to help Elsa. If she had been in danger, Luke would have regretted it deeply.
Since the Taylor Group caused this, it had to be resolved by them.
Now, he had to take multiple approaches to resolve it.
Thinking of Elsa made Luke's heart ache.
He hadn't personally done those things to hurt her, but many of the troubles and pains she suffered came from him.
Elsa had left the Taylor family, with many people eyeing her covetously.
Luke had immense power and wealth, but he didn't have absolute confidence in winning her back.
