NovelEnglish"You don't seem to be scared, Ms. Miller; looks like you're aware of what you'll face tonight, right?" Her brow lifted, Carol exuded an air of nonchalance, and she even leaned back slightly "Who sent you?" "Who else but Mr. Brown? He said he's bored of you. Thinks it's our turn for a bit of fun." "Is that so?" Carol's eyelashes fluttered down as if she were contemplating something.
Unable to restrain himself, the thug lunged at her.
With a swift roll, Carol dodged, but her head clipped the edge of a table, leaving her dazed.
The man grabbed her hair with a snarl, "You think you can fricking run from us?" Just as he finished his threat, the door to the coffee shop was kicked off its hinges, and a few bodyguards rushed in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarol, hand pressed to her bleeding forehead, watched as the bodyguards swiftly subdued her attackers. While Carol grabbed a glass aside, shattered it on the floor and ferociously dragged a shard across her wrist.
Blood poured from the wound, panic etching into the bodyguards' faces.
"Ms. Miller?" Carol stumbled toward the exit, her voice cool and detached, "Take these guys away and teach them smanners. I don't want Felix to suspect a thing." "Understood." Before Carol cthere, she had messaged lan.
She was no fool; knew better than to expect Felix to bring up the letter of understanding; whenever she broached the subject, he bristled with anger. How could he hand it over so easily? So, she suspected the message was a trap, likely set by Listina, who was with Felix tonight after all.
Carol asked lan to send smen to protect her; she hadn't wanted to trouble Maja with this, given her pregnancy and the fact that she was supposed to be resting.
lan had proven reliable, responding even in the dead of night, which gave her the courage to face the ordeal.
Now, due to excessive blood loss, Carol collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.
The next morning, Felix bombarded her phone with calls, which went unanswered as she lay unconscious.
He asked someone to check her whereabouts; only then did he know she was in the hospital. He immediately left an important meeting and hurried to the hospital.
Carol was bandaged and receiving IV fluids. The doctor cited significant blood loss. Felix's expression darkened; he instructed the man near him, "Find out what happened." He left with the order right away; twenty minutes later, the man returned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mr. Brown, Ms. Miller received a message from you about the letter of understanding and left to meet you. Instead, she was ambushed by a group of men. No one knows exactly what transpired, but passersby intervened and saved her." His message? But Felix had sent no such message to Carol.
Chapter 1816 2 He reached out, intending to grab Carol's hand, but his hand withdrew slowly midway. Carol opened her eyes just then, calmly gazing at the ceiling.
Felix struggled to find the words to speak. He stayed by her side, tending to her needs withhomemade soup and gentle care, and even took his work at the ward, yet he avoided discussing how to solve the matter. Carol remained quiet until Felix's phone rang, Listina's shrill cries piercing the silence, "Felix, help! Help! Maja's going to kill me; she's gonna kill me!" Listina had only finished these words and the call cut off abruptly.
Maja, unable to physically confront Listina due to her pregnancy, had enlisted the help of Cornelia.
"Give her a few more kicks. Looking at her face just pissesoff." Cornelia, ever loyal to Maja, didn't hesitate. After all, Maja was both her boss and benefactor. Moreover, she, too, loathed someone despicable like Listina.
She directly delivered two more kicks to Listina, followed by three sharp slaps to her face.
