NovelEnglishChapter 203: Allisons eyes glinted with utter disdain, cutting through Devins already frayed nerves.
A rush of anger ignited within him.
Who do you think you are...? But then he caught sight of Allison pressing the key fob, about to slip into her car.
The shock hit him like a ton of bricks.
That was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a vehicle worth more than a million dollars.
Devins gaze flicked from the car to her key fob, and in an instant, the sting of her earlier insult vanished.
A grin spread across his face as he quickly blocked her path.
Allison, lettake you home.
What kind of gentleman would let a lady drive herself? Its the least I can do, he offered, his voice dripping with eagerness.
As he spoke, he attempted to reach for Allisons hand, thinking his slyness was charming.

Clearly, Allison had struck it rich.
The price tag of that car alone could provide a lifetof comfort for someone ordinary.
If he could just get in her good graces... He envisioned a future where he wouldnt be the guy stuck driving around in a second-hand car that had seen better days.
Soon, he thought, he would convince Allison to buy him a brand new one.
Lost in his daydreams of easy gains, he suddenly heard a voice, cool as ice.
Really? Before Devin could process what was happening, the world flipped around him.
Allison had effortlessly thrown him over her shoulder, slamming him hard against the ground. Pain shot through him like lightning.
Cold sweat trickled down his face as his internal organs seemed to shift with the impact.
Let go! Let go! Ah! Devin cried out as Allisons knee pressed sharply against his ribs.
The pressure squeezed the air from his lungs, and his face flushed red from the struggle to breathe.
In the next heartbeat, Allisons hand connected with his cheek in a swift, stinging slap.
With a lazy smirk, she said, So you thought you could bullybecause you likedand wanted my attention? Well, now its my turn to return the favor.
Does that mean Im trying to get your attention too? As she spoke, she unleashed a flurry of quick, heavy slaps. Shouldnt you be thanking me? Smack, smack, smack Devins face soon resembled a swollen mess.
The worst part was that he was powerless to retaliate, dazed as stars danced in his vision, each scream for mercy laced with disbelief.
Ahhhh! He longed to strike back, but found himself immobilized, staring at Allison in shock.
Youre out of your mind.
He could hardly reconcile this version of the girl he once tormented in the orphanage with the fierce woman before him.
As the image of the little girl blended with the fierce woman now standing over him, Devin instinctively shielded his head.
Stop.
Please, just stop.
I was wrong... Then why arent you thanking me? Allison demanded, her grip tightening on his collar, her expression as cold as steel.

Devin, instinctively closing his eyes, pleaded frantically for mercy, Thank you.
Thank you! Without warning, she kicked him away harshly, sending him crashing to the ground.
Tsk, just stay away, she said dismissively, standing tall, smoothing out her clothes, and brushing off the dust.
Next time, I wont just let you off with a few slaps.
Her movements were slow and deliberate, a stark contrast to Devin, e who lay on the ground in misery.
He lacked the courage to rise, nodding repeatedly white cradling his battered head. Okay.
Okay.
He had gained nothing but a thorough beating.
In the end, all he could do was watch helplessly as the taillights, of her car disappeared into the distance. With his face swollen, he gritted his teeth and muttered her nunder his breath.
Allison Clarke, just you wait! Devin resolved then and there to win Allison over.
When that day came, every word he spoke would carry weight.
He vowed to take his revenge for the humiliation he had suffered today.
