Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 547 Seeing Charlotte hesitate, Ethan shouted, "Go! | can't hold them off much longer!" Alone, he was outnumbered on all sides. The two men he had already beaten were now wary of approaching him, while Christopher's attackers scrambled to support their comrades. Taking advantage of the chaos, Christopher struggled with all his strength to break free, and Ethan swung his iron rod, clearing the men entangling Christopher. Back to back, they pressed against each other. "Ethan! How did you get here?" Christopher shouted, his fear melting into exhilaration.

Ethan's arrival made him feel invincible, as if a hero had come to carve a path of blood through their enemies. "Later! Be smart. Your sister will drive the car up. I'l clear the way -don't linger. Get in the car and go!" Ethan barked. "What about you?" Christopher asked, kicking at the men while moving forward. Ethan's throat was hoarse from shouting, but he answered firmly, "I'll be fine. You go first. I'll find you later." "Really?" Christopher hesitated, but Ethan had already surged ---- forward, swinging the iron rod wildly. The remaining attackers scattered in fear.

"Go!" Ethan yelled, and Christopher dashed forward, sprinting toward the roadside. At the same moment, Charlotte arrived with the car. The door was already open. Just before Christopher would have been grabbed again, he leapt into the car. Charlotte slammed her foot on the accelerator without waiting for him to fully sit, and they shot forward. They sped through several intersections before Charlotte finally allowed herself to ease off the gas slightly. But Christopher stayed pressed against the window, looking back the entire way.

The car raced so fast that by the time they had cleared the area, no one was in sight behind them. "We just left Ethan behind! Can he handle it alone?" Christopher panicked. "Should we go back and help him?" "What did he tell you?" Charlotte asked, her brow furrowed, though she remained much calmer and more rational than her brother. She had never offended anyone-why would anyone come after her and Christopher? And how could Ethan have appeared at just the right moment to know they were in trouble?

She recalled the attackers' reactions when they had seen Ethan: ---- their eyes had changed, their aggression turning into defensive caution, as if afraid of hurting him. That hesitation had given them a chance to escape "He said we should go first. He'll come find us later," Christopher replied. "Then we follow his plan," Charlotte said firmly. "Aren't you being too cold? Mom always taught us not to be selfish! And what if something happens to Ethan? Wouldn't you feel uneasy?" Christopher protested, yanking at the car door. "If you won't go, | will!

Stop the car!" "I've already called the police. They'll be here soon. Ethan will be fine. If you go, you'll just get yourself in danger," Charlotte said. Her words had their effect. Christopher's nerves loosened slightly. "But-" "There is no 'but.' I'm taking you back to school. What happens next doesn't concer you." Christopher's frustration flared again. He pulled at the door violently. "I'm not going back! I'm waiting for Ethan!" "Enough. Be reasonable," Charlotte replied. ---- "You have no right to stop me.

| hate how heartless you are!" Charlotte ignored him, letting her usually obedient brother rage and shout in the back seat. She had never seen him act so utterly unreasonable before.
