However, her weak body couldn’t keep it up, and soon she was subdued.
“Beat her! I want you to fuck her up!” Zoe held her bloody ear as she snarled at the others, “If you don’t beat her, are you going to wait for her to bite you?”
The other four people were scared. They didn’t want to become the next Freddy, so they immediately started beating her up.
Someone kicked Lauren in her belly. A sharp pain ensued before she tasted a sweet, metallic tang in her mouth, and blood flowed from her nose.
Her body could barely withstand the cruel torture.
Yet, Lauren smiled. She had never been so relaxed.
This was the first time she used all her might to defend her pride. Even if she died, she would have no regrets.
Betty, who was watching from the sidelines, held her sides and laughed hysterically.
“I asked you to come, but are you only here to watch the show?”
Zoe walked toward Betty and shoved her. “She’s half dead now. Get up there and give her the final blow!”
Betty pointed at herself. “Me? Why don’t you go instead?”
“I’m giving you the chance to end your enemy! Do you expect me to sully my precious hands with this dirty work?”
“Haha… Zoe, do you think I’m an idiot? If I did, wouldn’t I become a murderer?”
Betty crossed her arms across her chest. “Whether you want to slit her throat or chop her up, you’ll have to do it herself. Why should I be the one to bear this risk? I didn’t even help my own mother. What makes you think I’d help you?”
“Betty Walsh!” Zoe shouted in rage, “You deaf fucker! You have no one to blame except yourself for getting your just desserts!”
This degrading insult made Betty’s throat tighten. Suddenly, she let out a wicked grin. “Not only am I a deaf fucker, but I also have AIDS.”
“What?” Zoe staggered back in horror. She felt nauseous. “You bitch! How did you even get this filthy disease? Stay away from me! Don’t come any closer!”
“Stay away from you? Haha… There’s no point in doing that. After all, we’re both in the same boat.”
Betty’s manic gaze struck terror into Zoe’s heart. “Welcome to the AIDS club, Zoe.”
“What are you saying?”
“Remember when I asked you out for coffee? To show my appreciation, I added a little something to the coffee. It’s… my… blood!”
Zoe felt her world shatter, and her head started spinning.
Suddenly, she recalled that fateful day. That cup of coffee had an odd stench, so it was.
Zoe’s torso lurched forward as she held her chest and threw up her meal from yesterday.
At the same time, the sound of banging and metal clashing came from downstairs. Heavy footsteps dashed toward the door.
And then, with a huge bang, the entire door was kicked off its frame.
Angelina leaped in like a fiery comet with a gleaming knife in her hand.
The pampered, highborn scoundrels were no match for a prestigious bodyguard. In the blink of an eye, she felled all five people. Her knifework was precise and swift, slashing across their limbs so deep that one could see the white of their bones.
She didn’t spare anyone, neither male nor female.
Their tendons were cut cleanly, leaving not a single limb unharmed.
Their haunting cries echoed one after another. This place was now a bloody slaughterhouse!
When it was Freddy¡ªthe half-mute’s turn¡ªAngelina added two stabs to his thighs. It was payback to this shameless bastard for stealing her master’s lover!
“Run. Run now!”
Zoe and Betty scurried away, but there was no way Angelina would let these two rats escape!
Angelina lunged forward, seizing their hair in her grip. With a swift and forceful tug, she pulled back as though intent on ripping their hair from their scalps.
“Ouch!”
Silent but lethal, Angelina exerted all her strength, yanking on the heads of these two individuals, consumed by nothing but malevolent intentions. With a resounding crack, she brought their skulls together.
Zoe and Betty were instantly knocked out. They slumped to the floor in a heap.
Angelina’s chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily. Her chest was filled with hatred and pain.
It wasn’t that Angelina lacked the desire to end their lives, but for these two despicable scoundrels, she believed they deserved to face justice at the hands of Landon and Jeremy themselves. That would be the only fitting conclusion for them.
“Madam Lauren!”
Angeline knelt beside Lauren’s bruised and battered body. Her bloodied hands lifted Lauren’s limp torso into her shaky embrace.
“Angelina… Angie…” Lauren tried to muster up a smile, but her mouth merely twitched. She tried to comfort Angelina. “I’m. fine. I covered my head. I fought back. I will never. let myself be bullied. by anyone again.”
“Good for you, Madam Lauren! I’m proud of you!”
Angelina wiped her tears furiously, her heart heavy with anguish. Gently, she cradled Lauren’s battered body in her arms, feeling the faint pulse of life still within her. “Come, let me take you home… Let’s go home.”
She barely took a step out of the door before she froze.
The cold metal of two pistols was pressed against her forehead in the dark.
“Cyrus, have you found Mr. Harper Senior’s body?” Alyssa was diligently following up on the case.
Cyrus’ expression was grave. “We found it. It was discovered so quickly that even the Search Department thought it was strange.”
The three turned to stare at him. “What do you mean?”
“The eyewitness, Sylvia Jansen, testified that she overheard the suspect, Preston Harper, talking to his secretary while they were handling the body. Harper instructed his secretary to move the body to the west side, believing there was minimal surveillance there.
“Ironically, the chosen location is a government development zone, heavily monitored by security cameras. Furthermore, the body wasn’t buried but carelessly discarded on the highway shoulder. It was as if they didn’t care whether it would be found.”
A glint appeared in Jeremy’s eyes. “Cornelius was murdered on the same night that Lauren got kidnapped. The mastermind behind these two cases must be Preston!”
“No… That can’t be right!” Alyssa was shellshocked, and her face turned pale. An uneasy feeling rose in her chest.
“Ms. Alyssa! Mr. Jeremy! You have to see this!”
They glanced at the phone screen, which displayed a mysterious livestream already attracting 20 to 30 thousand viewers.
Upon closer inspection, it showed Lauren being bullied by a group of people, led by Zoe and Betty¡ª from Freddy’s attempted rape to Lauren fighting back, and finally to getting beaten up by five people¡ª the entire harrowing process was recorded by a hidden camera and streamed online.
The livestream was even titled, “The Walsh family’s youngest daughter is actually a victim of bullying! After being tortured by Zoe Harper for years, she will publicly execute her enemies tonight!”
“Lauren!” Tears fell heavily from Landon’s eyes.
His true love, the woman he prized above even his own life, was getting trampled and humiliated by those monsters.
The livestream was publicly executing those monsters, but it was also ripping his heart to shreds.
“Lauren!” Jeremy and Cyrus also called out in pain.
Alyssa suddenly thought of something even more horrifying. She yelled, “It’s Preston! Preston must have set up this livestream! He did this on purpose! From the very beginning, he’s been setting us up. Lauren’s life is in danger!”
The police found the kidnappers’ base while the livestream was still in progress.
Numerous police cars surrounded the old manor. Red and blue lights flashed in the ominous darkness while the piercing sirens broke the stillness of the night.
Zoe, who was as resilient as a cockroach, roused herself before Betty, who remained unconscious on the ground.
Zoe was scared out of her wits when she heard the police sirens. She was about to escape when a few familiar figures barged into her line of sight.
“Lauren!”
Landon was the first to rush forward. In the midst of his anguish, a ray of hope appeared within his crimson, tear-filled eyes.
