Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 518: Escape?

Chapter 518: Escape?

Mason was both shocked and furious, but he was too weak to get up. His rationality was still hanging on by a thread. "Don’t... hurt him, or... you can forget about my investment..."

It was then that he realized how foolish he had been, unconditionally trusting Isaac. After all, Isaac was a dangerous person—obsessed with his research, but capable of doing countless inhumane things.

Mason had been betrayed by someone from his own side, and he felt incredibly resentful. His strength was gradually fading.

"Sorry, it’s precisely because you tried to stop me that I had to drug you," Isaac chuckled, "But don’t worry, little Elias, Uncle will make sure you get a good future!"

Isaac’s smile was more of a sinister grin. Elias, so young, had no idea what was going on. He looked at Mason, struggling on the ground, and said, "Oh no, bad uncle fell! Mommy, should we help him up?"

Ella held Elias close to her. "Elias, bad uncle is having a fit. Let’s let someone take him to the doctor. We don’t need to worry about him."

Ella said this in a calm voice. Elias nodded, his big eyes glistening with tears, his little face flushed with a faint red. Ella hugged him tightly, determined that no one, at any time, would hurt her son!

But looking at Isaac, she had a bad feeling. "What exactly do you want to do?"

Isaac sneered and clapped his hands. Two bodyguards strode forward.

"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to take your genius son. I want to see what’s inside that little head of his!" Isaac no longer concealed his true nature, his expression twisted into a grotesque grin that made Ella’s blood run cold.

Ella let out a light laugh. "Eric is on his way. If you treat me well, I can still plead with him on your behalf."

Isaac didn’t believe her for a second.

Ella was just stalling for time, and the island wasn’t exactly easy to get to.

"In fifteen days, Eric won’t be able to find us!" Isaac said coldly.

Two bodyguards dragged the unconscious Mason away. If Mason thought he could find a scapegoat to escape his fate, he was sorely mistaken.

Ella’s heart was pounding in her chest. She kept her gaze steady on Isaac, then gently placed Elias on the ground. "Elias, go under the bed for now. Mommy’s going to play hide and seek with you later, okay?"

Elias didn’t understand. Ella explained again, "I have to talk with Uncle about something. You’re still a kid, so you can’t listen, alright?"

Elias nodded, giggling, "Okay, I’ll wait under the bed for you. Mommy, you must play hide and seek with me!"

"Yes, no matter what sounds you hear, you stay hidden, okay?" Ella patted his little head calmly.

But her palm was sweating cold with anxiety.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t nervous—she was terrified.

But in her coat pocket was Mason’s gun. She had secretly taken it when Mason had fallen into a dazed state earlier.

Elias crawled under the bed, and Ella let out a quiet sigh of relief.

No matter what happened from here on out, her son wouldn’t see it. That was all she needed to feel at peace.

Isaac sneered, while Miss Kelly, standing behind him, was pale with fear. She had just received word this morning, right after breakfast, that Elias was to be taken to the lab for surgery.

Kelly wasn’t a doctor, but Isaac’s other two male assistants were both doctors and researchers.

Her heart raced, but she had no weapons. Even if she took down Dr. Scott, what could she do against those strong, brave bodyguards and the fishermen?

"You’re very brave and clever, Miss Davis," Isaac said, "But I need you to cooperate. I’ll say it again, give me your son, and I won’t harm you."

Isaac’s eyes gleamed with the predatory light of a beast eyeing its prey. "You know, I’ve dedicated my entire youth and all my wealth to research for the benefit of humanity. So you should be grateful to me!"

Ella almost gagged. This man had no shame whatsoever. He was likely mentally ill.

A scientist with mental illness was the most dangerous kind—such a person could do anything!

"Impossible! Even if I have to perish with you, I will never hand my son over to you!" Ella said in Country W language, so that her son wouldn’t understand.

Although he was only three years old, there were still things he could hear.

Little Elias lay patiently under the bed, his big eyes staring at the dim light outside. He was so bored. What was mommy talking to Uncle about?

"Good, you’ve got guts. In that case, I won’t hold back!" Isaac said, then turned to the two returning bodyguards. "Take that kid to the lab, and there will be heavy rewards!"

The two bodyguards quickly nodded, and Isaac turned around, striding out.

Kali stood frozen in place, watching as the two bodyguards approached Ella.

She had only one thought in her mind—she had to help Ella escape and expose that demon, Isaac!

Kali grabbed a beer bottle and swung it hard at one of the bodyguard’s head. There was a dull thud, followed by a scream. The bodyguard collapsed, blood streaming from his head, and he looked in shock at Kali behind him.

Although they were bodyguards, Kali was the only woman on the island, and they’d had their way with her.

"Run... take Elias and run!" Kali shouted urgently, holding the beer bottle as she lunged at the other bodyguard.

The second bodyguard, now on guard, swept his leg and knocked Kali down. He cursed her, kicking her several times.

"You bitch, go die!" the bodyguard snarled, grabbing the beer bottle from her hand, panting heavily, ready to strike.

Ella stepped forward, and the silver bracelet on her wrist gleamed with a cold needle, which she thrust sharply into the bodyguard’s back.

The bodyguard grunted, the bottle falling from his hand, and Kali quickly scrambled to the side, staring in shock at Ella standing there.

"I came into the lion’s den alone. I couldn’t have come unprepared."

She said calmly, the silver bracelet in her hand was actually something Eric had specially made for her. It contained both a strong and a weak anesthetic, but the strong one was used for dealing with bodyguards.

This way, she could rely on it to avoid being killed when she was in danger.

When friends asked about it, she always said it was a gift from Isabella.

"Miss Davis... please go, I’ll notify the pilot to take the plane away!" Kali said, taking a deep breath and quickly speaking.

Ella’s expression was serious, and little Elias, growing impatient under the bed, asked, "Mommy, when are we going to play hide and seek?"

"Elias, don’t worry. Don’t come out unless I say so, no matter what you hear, okay?"

Elias mumbled, still confused as to why mommy was giving him such instructions, but he obediently replied with a soft "Mm."

It had been a while since he’d seen mommy, so little Elias naturally listened to her.

"Is Isaac the only one with a gun here, and no other bodyguards have one?"

Kali nodded.
