Ga lno vel s . com takes you into new worlds
Then, Cecilia looked desperately at Cornell, tears in her eyes, her hands hitting the ground, her face the picture of sorrow as if she was pleading for mercy.
Audrey, indifferent to Cecilia’s pleading look, approached Cecilia and asked coldly, “Feeling sorry now?”
Cecilia was overwhelmed by pain, feeling as though her body was crawling with ants, causing her both itchiness and pain. It was killing her!
Cecilia tried to speak but could only manage a weak insult. “Bitch…”
Seeing Cecilia’s reaction, Audrey could tell the effects of the drug kicking in. She was reminded of the night Cary forced her onto the sofa and the struggles against her own body’s reactions. She vividly remembered her desperation and her efforts to stay calm by slapping herself and biting her tongue.
Audrey felt no pity for Cecilia, thinking the latter had it coming.
She sneered, “Now you’re getting a taste of what I had gone through.
Enjoy it.”
Audrey still had a lingering fear. Her resilience had been her salvation, fighting to save herself, clinging to hope until help arrived. She shuddered to think what could have happened that night.
Her life could be destroyed since then.
Audrey scoffed. Given the history, Cecilia had likely pulled the similar taunts multiple times. This was simply karma for Cecilia’s doing, facing the fallout of her own misdeeds!
Cecilia’s lips, trembling and unable to meet, kept repeating the same insult. “Bitch…”
Audrey smirked and commented, “Be grateful I’m not as cruel as you.
I only gave you a taste of your own medicine. Have a good night.”
With those words, Audrey turned on her heels and walked away without a second glance.
Tears clouded Cecilia’s vision. She saw Cornell trying to grab Audrey’s hand, but Audrey brushed off his extended hand. Despite this, Cornell continued to gaze at Audrey with affection in his eyes, as if she were a precious gem.
This stark difference in Cornell’s attitude only fueled Cecilia’s bitterness, making her look even more menacing with her red, tearful eyes.
“Bitch!” Her voice, rough and strained, echoed unpleasantly, filled with venom. “Die!”
Seemingly unhinged, Cecilia mustered the remaining strength within her to grab and broken handle of the glass goblet she had just touched and suddenly threw at Audrey before the effects of the drug fully consumed her.
It all unfolded in seconds. The bodyguards were caught off guard, and before they knew it, it was already too late.
The broken glass, sharp as a knife, caught the light, casting an ominous glow.
Cecilia, with all her strength in a desperate move, had hurled the broken glass at Audrey’s neck!
The sharp handle of the glass was only a few millimeters from Audrey’s neck. At this dangerously close range, it could easily cut through the main artery without any trouble.
Two bodyguards behind Audrey hurried over, their faces filled with fear. However, it was clearly too late.
Audrey had mastered self-defense skills overseas and could avoid it in a snap.
But as she caught sight of Cecilia’s fierce expression, lots of images flashed in her mind all of a sudden.
“Remember, you’re nothing but an abandoned stray dog…”
“Cornell doesn’t want you or the baby you’re carrying…”
“If Cornell had not chosen to save me over you, your child might have survived…”
Cecilia’s harsh and misleading words echoed, followed by a different woman’s voice.
“He does value you, ready to offer five billion…”
“If Cecilia hadn’t tricked me into abducting you…”
“I never thought he would actually prefer you over Cecilia..
Right then, Audrey got a killing headache. A buzzing noise echoed in her ears, tracing a direct line. Her head was filled with a never-ending white noise. It felt as if she was under some spell, unable to move an inch.
Audrey could only watch as the crystal glass reflected the beautiful light straight at her.
Thud! A muffled sound of flesh getting pierced was heard.
Audrey felt nothing, her face having collided with a solid chest. Her heart was racing, like it might jump out of her throat at any moment.
Strong arms wrapped tightly around her, protecting her entire body.
So tight that it was hard to breathe.
Audrey blinked and glanced at the man who was protecting her. At that moment, she saw Cornell’s panicked, scared, and concerned look mirrored in his dark eyes, with no hiding it. He was really anxious about her…
Cornell slightly relaxed his hold and gave Audrey a thorough look from head to toe before murmuring reassuringly, “Everything’s okay.”
He believed Audrey was still in a state of shock. Gently, his broad hand stroked her back as he softly asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Audrey bit her lip and barely whispered back, “I’m alright…”
“Ah! No!” A rough and loud scream echoed.
The bodyguards gave Cecilia a few hard kicks and pushed her down firmly onto the ground.
But Cecilia hadn’t silenced herself yet, yelling desperately, “I’ll kill you, you bitch…”
Cornell’s cold and distant handsome face briefly turned darker. He turned and walked forward with his long and confident legs, one step at a time.
The light highlighted the shadows on Cornell’s sharp features, making Cecilia feel she was facing death itself. Those dark, deep eyes seemed like a deep black hole as if they could overwhelm people in a moment.
Cecilia trembled uncontrollably, but the drug twisted her into a strange form, resembling a dying snake. Her rotten lips kept trembling, barely managed to whisper, “Corn… Ah! Ah!”
Cornell’s glossy black leather shoes stepped over Cecilia’s unharmed hand, the sole pressing down on all five fingers, crushing them with great force.
The surroundings became quiet.
Cecilia could hear the sickening sound of her flesh and bones crunching, prompting her uncontrolled screa ms of desperation.
Only when Cecilia’s five fingers were nearly crushed flat did Cornell’s shoes finally lift away.
Cornell, tall and wide, had a cold, merciless smile on his face as he looked down at Cecilia. “You don’t want to be taken away to the police station, right?”
Cecilia’s body shook violently, yet she had heard his words. The thought of staying away from the prison brought tears to her eyes as she nodded vigorously despite the pain.
She assumed as long as she wasn’t imprisoned, she’d have an opportunity to return and make a comeback.
At this, a slight smile appeared on Cornell’s flawless face, giving off a cold yet charming vibe. “You’ve made your choice. I’ll respect it.”
Cornell then turned and commanded, “Take her to the Velvet Alley.”
At the mention of Velvet Alley, Cecilia’s hands and feet grew cold, and her eyes widened in horror! That was the gathering place for human trafficking. In Ardlens, that was the very one place where the rule of law didn’t apply. Cornell wanted to send her there, which was equivalent to living hell!
“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Cecilia was beyond scared, screaming like there was no tomorrow.
The bodyguards had already pulled her out quickly.
“Ah!” Cecilia fought with all her might, leaving a trail of blood on the ground with her fingertips. It was too late. With her state, she couldn’t fight against these strong bodyguards, having to accept her fate unwillingly.
Audrey could tell from Cecilia’s reaction that Velvet Alley was far from a good place. But Cecilia had it coming.
At this time, someone rushed in from outside. There stood Victor, his face filled with worry. “Miss, are you alright?”
Audrey just shook her head, then noticed Matteo, who entered with Victor, half of his face swollen. She gave Victor a strange look.
Victor quickly said, “Miss, this guy dared to lay a hand on me, so I gave him a beating!”
The moment those words were said, everyone’s faces lit up with various expressions.
The part of Matteo’s face that wasn’t swollen turned red. He’d never seen a woman so bold and skilled in fighting before. And he didn’t mean to do so!
Cornell looked at Matteo with deep eyes, making Matteo feel nervous.
Matteo explained quickly, “That’s not how it happened. She grabbed the steering wheel out of nowhere while I was driving her here, and I wasn’t paying attention..
“It was you who kept driving me around in circles on purpose!”
Victor said coldly, “My master believes that when a man leads a woman around in circles, he has bad intentions and harmful motives!”
Matteo was left without words. He felt utterly misunderstood! All he wanted was to give Cornell and Audrey some extra time to bond. How could that be seen as having bad intentions toward Victor?
Matteo glanced at Victor’s chest, which lacked curves, and said, “I’m not into flat chests.”
Victor was left speechless.
