Chapter 108
Elo locked eyes with Robb, showing no signs of backing down, “Tll only protect her, never hurt her.
Robb said, “I hope so”
With that, Robb scooped up Astrid and went upstairs.
Carson followed, his voice shaky with fear, “Boss, Just who is Ms. Irvine? That guy was so intimidating:
just his standing there was enough to give me the creeps.”
“We’re lucky we sent Ms. Irvine home. If you had taken her to your place, that guy might have ripped

Phantom earlier. His curiosity about Astrid’s identity was definitely piqued.

And he must have some serious clout.
If all her brothers are this badass, who knows what the next one’s gonna be like…

Meanwhile, Elio had been reading the news all morning, but he looked a bit off.
He and Astrid were photographed at the hotel entrance yesterday, and he hadn’t tried to suppress the
news. But there was absolutely no news about it this morning. As if nothing had happened yesterday.
He had thought that if they were photographed, he could use it to label her as his girlfriend to ward off
