Chapter 340:
“I have already called the police. They are on their way!” she declared, her voice firm. “If you know what's good
for you, you'll get out of here before the police catch you red-handed!”
The thug’s expression darkened into a venomous snarl. “How dare you threaten me? Fine. Forget the money; I'm
taking both of you withnow! Let's see if the cops will save you in time!”
With a sinister grin, he took a menacing step forward, his knife glinting in the dim alley light as he closed the gap
between himself and the two women.
Both Kylee and Mollie retreated, their movements hesitant as fear took hold of them.
“Stay behind me, Mrs. Thomas. I'll protect you,” Kylee declared, her voice steady with determination as she
boldly stepped in front of Mollie, shielding her from the advancing thug.

Surprised by her audacity, the thug hesitated for a split second before lifting his knife, its blade gleaming
menacingly, ready to strike.
Without hesitation, Kylee lunged forward, grabbing the man’s knife-wielding arm. “Run, Mrs. Thomas! I've got
this!” she yelled, her voice strained but unwavering.
Paralyzed by fear, Mollie stood rooted to the spot. “I can’t just leave you here, Kylee!” she exclaimed anxiously,
her voice trembling.
“Forget about me! You need to get to safety!” Kylee shouted, the rising panic in her voice betraying her own fear.
The thug’s free hand lashed out violently, his palm connecting with Kylee’s face in a loud slap.

The impact reverberated through the alley, leaving Kylee reeling. She staggered backward, her vision swimming
as she fought to keep her balance.
“Kylee, are you okay?” Mollie's voice quivered with panic as she called out, her eyes fixed on Kylee’s unsteady
figure.
Shaking her head to clear the dizziness, Kylee winced in pain, the sharp ringing in her ears making it hard for her
to focus.
After a brief moment, Kylee forced a shaky smile and said hoarsely, “I'm okay.”
Her words of reassurance belied the reality—her cheek was already swollen, and a thin streak of blood trickled
from the corner of her mouth, adding to her battered appearance.
Seeing Kylee weakened, the thug shifted his attention to Mollie, his steps deliberate and threatening as he tried
to approach her.
Ignoring the pain radiating through her body, Kylee darted forward and planted herself firmly between Mollie and

Despite the fear that coursed through her, Kylee stood tall, her resolve unwavering as she braced herself to
shield Mollie from harm. The scene was truly touching.
“Get out of my way, you bitch!” the thug barked, his voice filled with venom as he lunged forward, intent on
shoving Kylee out of his way.
But Kylee, drawing on a deep well of courage, planted her feet and shoved him back with surprising force,
sending him stumbling backward.
The thug staggered, momentarily thrown off balance, surprise flashing across his face as he struggled to regain
his footing. His expression twisted with rage, and his patience snapped entirely. Fury contorted his features as he
lifted the knife high and charged at Kylee with reckless intent, the blade arcing toward her in a swing.
Acting on pure instinct, Kylee raised her arm, her body bracing for impact as the knife descended.
