Chapter 497
Anna Ross gripped her phone tightly.
Her knuckles turned white.
She forced down the anxiety in her heart.
"Noah, keep trying to reach him. I have an emergency right now."
"Okay, I'll notify you immediately if I get any news," Noah Watson replied.
The call ended.
Anna urged the driver to go faster.
Raindrops hammered against the car window.
The outside world blurred.
She had no time to care.
The situation at the bar was unclear.
She had to get there as soon as possible.
The car stopped.
Anna rushed into the bar.
She immediately spotted Julian Garnache entangled in the crowd.
Several men were ganging up on him.
Mia Lawrence stood to the side.
Her face was pale.
She pushed through the crowd and grabbed her best friend.
"Mia, what's going on?"
Mia's clothes were disheveled.
Her face was full of anxiety.
Seeing Anna was like seeing a savior.
"Anna, please make them stop!"
Julian was hit with a chair by a blond man.
A dull thud echoed.
He nimbly dodged the follow-up attacks.
But he was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Julian, stop fighting!" Anna shouted.
He seemed not to hear.
He continued to brawl with the men.
Mia pinched her arm anxiously.
"We can't call the police! Julian will be arrested!"
She regretted coming here.
She regretted causing this trouble.
Anna had no time to ask more questions.
She saw Julian constantly retreating.
Behind him were overturned chairs and broken glass.
He was about to step on them.
"Watch out behind you!" she cried out.
Her body reacted first.
She reached out to pull him.
Julian looked over.
His expression changed abruptly.
Before Anna could react.
A loud crash came from above.
Excruciating pain hit her.
Warm liquid trickled down her forehead.
Blood blurred her vision.
"Anna!" Mia screamed, catching her.
The man who hit her stood frozen.
He stared at the broken bottle in his hand.
He was at a loss.
The scene fell silent instantly.
Julian rushed over and held her.
"Anna, are you okay?"
He glared at the man.
His fists clenched.
Anna used her last strength to hold him back.
"Don't go..."
Everything went black.
She lost consciousness.
Julian held her tightly.
His voice trembled.
"Why are you so foolish..."
Mia glared at the man.
He stammered.
"It... it wasn't me..."
The bottle fell to the floor.
He turned and ran.
"Stop!" Mia tried to chase him.
Julian called her back.
"Take Anna to the hospital first!"
He picked Anna up.
He rushed out of the bar.
