Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Violet was on high alert. Sensing something was amiss, she had to stop in her tracks. “You’re quite a looker…” The leader remarked airily and looked at her up and down under the dim streetlight, “But it’s too bad, you’ll be six feet under soon.” Violet felt her lungs tightening. Was Jack going to kill her to eliminate her as a witness? That thought was quickly dismissed. That was not right. It could not be him! If he had wanted to kill her, he could have gotten the job done silently at the mansion instead of taking such great pains. “Who are you?” “We do stuff for money!” Another man was losing patience. “Why are you spouting so much nonsense?” “At least give me closure before I die!” Violet could already guess their answer. “Or I’ll hold a grudge against you as a ghost and haunt you! There’s definitely someone behind this, I just want to know who!” The men exchanged looks for a few seconds. “Theo Henry Yeager!” said the leader casually. Violet gritted her teeth. Hmph, as she had suspected. “Little lady, don’t blame us for falling into temptation when your pitiful life is worth ten million so!” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Impossible,” said Violet in derisive laughter. “He doesn’t have that much money!” She was calm in the face of danger. “Don’t you know that the Yeager Group is insolvent? The Yancey Group is suppressing them! Where is he going to get ten million?” Observing their expressions, she continued, “Also, murder is a crime. You won’t be able to escape the law. Is your worth ten million, money that you’ve not seen with your own eyes? Think about your family.” life “You worry too much, girl.” One of them was impatient; he just wanted to finish the job fast.
“Quit yapping! If y you can brainwash us like that then we wouldn’t be in this line of work!” The man said fiercely. “Get her! The sooner we kill her the sooner we’ll be done for the day!” The men rushed in with their wooden bats raised above their heads right after those words left his mouth. Violet dodged and retaliated, but she was quickly surrounded. She could fight. Nevertheless, how was she a match for so many opponents at once? There were more than a dozen of these tough guys! In addition, she was starving because she had not eaten dinner, so her physical strength had been depleted. Even she felt that the situation tonight was boding ill for her. The headlights of the black off-road car parked not far from the scene had been turned off. The chauffeur observed Michael’s expression through the rearview mirror. Michael was watching the fight scene from the rearview mirror as well. The chauffeur would do nothing as long as Michael did not instruct him to drive off. Michael’s face was apathetic. No one could tell what he was thinking. After a while, the drive frowned slightly. He was beginning to feel a little anxious. “Are you just going to standby and watch her die, Mr. Michael?” Right after he spoke, Michael opened the door and got down the car. He walked with full vigor and moved exceedingly fast! By then, Violet had suffered a few blows on her body. Her face was also colored with bruises. She had been pummeled so many times that she had to take make steps backward. Before she could steady herself, another man came at her and aimed for her head with his wooden bat raised high. His savage face looked so big! Violet leaned back instinctively and stretched her arms out fearfully to protect her face. Her heart sank heavily. She prepared herself for the fatal blow. This was her fate! 1/2 11:51 Chapter 15
Not only did the wooden bat miss her at that critical moment, someone grasped her arm and held her steady with one powerful push. Violet opened her eyes instantly. What a dashing face! Michael loosened his hold on her and began to fight the attackers. It was one versus ten of them. Every move he made was so cool! Violet did not react due to her state of shock. She saw the chauffeur coming to help. Had they not left? By the time Violet had slowly come back to her senses, the attackers had been so badly beaten up that some of them had had their teeth knocked out. They were wailing excruciatingly in pools of blood. Michael took her arm firmly and pulled her forward silently. She turned around to look at the men while walking and spoke in anger and loathing, “Tell Theo Yeager I will kill him!” The car door opened and she was pushed into the car once more. “Ouch…” Violet winced from the pain. “Szz…” The bones in her body felt like they had broken apart. Michael furrowed his eyebrows slightly and got into the car without saying anything. The chauffeur looked at them both. The atmosphere was a bit weird; the girl suffered heavy injuries but Michael looked as stoic as ever. He started the car without asking for directions. He planned to drive them to the mansion… ‘I should probably send them back to where they came from,’ he thought. It was probably best to hand them over to the president.
