"Smack!"
Patrick smacked Vanessa with all his might. This sudden attack made Vanessa feel dizzy and could only hear a loud buzz in her ears. Slowly, her eyesight became blurry, as if she were being sucked into an unknown, scary vortex.
She opened her mouth, attempting to speak, but she wasn't even able to utter a syllable. Everything before her eyes became darker and darker. In the end, she couldn't see anything nor hear anything. It was as if she had fallen into a dark bottomless abyss.
"Lawrie, Julien..."
Before losing her consciousness completely, only two persons appeared in Vanessa's mind. If she couldn't make it this time, Julien would definitely take good care of Lawrie. Also, Lawrie would slowly accept Julien as his father.
"B*tch, do you think you can get away by playing dead?!" Seeing Vanessa had passed out, Patrick covered his ear that had been bitten by Vanessa with one hand. He then slapped Vanessa's face with the other hand. The slap was not enough to vent his anger, so he kicked her on the body. "So you f*cking wish to die? I'll grant your wish."
"Patrick, she's already unconscious, why don't you end things quickly?" Fiona raised her hand to look at her watch. Even though she had used her former connections to cover her tracks, it was not going to distract Julien for long. "Julien has transferred the money into my foreign bank account according to my request. I don't think it'll take him much longer to track us down."
If the Kyle family and the Brown family joined forces... Despite how much Fiona had prepped herself, she still shivered at the thought of the consequences. She knew the only way out for someone who messed with Julien was death, yet she still chose to do it.
Patrick said, "Fiona, you had many choices. Why did you choose the one that you couldn't back out of?"
"Because I resent them," Fiona replied with a smile.
In the past, Fiona had many suitors. There were many who were capable and goodlooking. With her beauty and abilities, it was not hard for her to marry an outstanding man. However, out of so many men, she chose to seduce the married Marvin, all because Fiona bore a deep grudge!
At a young age, Emily married a famous businessman, Marvin, and had been living a good life. They were even blessed with a lovely and beautiful daughter. Therefore, since young, Fiona competed with Emily, but never won.
Despite the fact that Fiona was pregnant with Marvin's child, he never intended to marry her. Marvin cared about his family a lot and refused to divorce Emily. Being driven into a corner, Fiona came up with an evil plan. Emily' s death would open the way for her to officially become Mrs. Love.
Fiona didn't have to kill Vanessa, but Vanessa was too headstrong. Over and over again, she went against Fiona, embarrassing her in public. Hence, Fiona was determined to get rid of anyone who humiliated her.
Patrick let out a sigh and said, "Fiona, if you stop now, there might still be a chance of making it out of this mess, alive."
"Marvin has taken Leslie abroad two days ago, so I have nothing else to worry about."
"Fiona..."
"Let's get started." Fiona was getting impatient. "I still have to send this video to that stupid girl from the Spencer family. I might be able to get away with this because of her."
This was Fiona's only hope. If she managed to leave Chatterton Town before Julien found her, she would be the victor.
"Okay." Patrick bent down once again and started pulling Vanessa's clothes off.
"Bang!" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
It was the sound of a gunshot. The bullet shot right through Patrick's hand that was about to touch Vanessa.
Patrick shrieked in pain. He turned around and saw a man barging through the gate. There was a gun in his hand which was aimed right at Patrick. The look on the man's face was so stern that it scared Patrick out of his wits. Just when he was going to move backward, another shot was fired. This time, the bullet hit Patrick's right knee.
Patrick collapsed on the ground with a thud. "Who are you?"
"Julien Kyle!" It was Fiona who answered the question.
At that moment, Fiona completely lost her composure. In her mind, she had pictured herself being bold enough to stand up against Julien. However, when the moment arrived, she was so terrified that her legs were shaking. Her mind was in a mess!
Patrick gasped in shock, "Jul-"
He was frightened to the extent that he couldn't speak properly...
Julien's cold gaze swept over them. Then, he ran toward Vanessa as fast as he could. He lifted her into his arms and called out to her gently, "Don't be afraid, Vanessa. I'm here... I' m here to bring you home. No one else can hurt you anymore."
There was no response from Vanessa. Julien had no idea if she could hear him or not. He could not imagine how scared she was earlier. However, a scene appeared in his mind. In the scene, Vanessa was curled up on the hotel bed, crying miserably.
She must've been scared out of her wits just now. At the most crucial moment, he was not there to protect her.
Julien picked Vanessa up and glared at Fiona and Patrick coldly again. His glare was so sharp and terrifying that they were shivering uncontrollably. However, Julien didn't say a word to them. Before he left with Vanessa in his arms, he said, "Levi, I'll leave the both of them to you."
"Yes." After that, Levi and Monique rushed into the factory.
Upon seeing Vanessa's disheveled state, Monique's rage erupted. She lifted her foot and kicked Patrick hard in the groin. Her attack was swift and fierce, leaving him no chance of ducking. He was in so much pain that he screamed in far more agony than he felt from the two gunshots earlier.
"You ugly scumbag! Do you have any f*cking idea who' re you messing with?!" Levi stomped on Patrick's vulnerable manhood with all his might, causing him to pass out. "D*mn it, I wish I could just slice you up."
Seeing Patrick had passed out and the duo's attention was not on her, Fiona tried to slip away. However, as soon as she made a move, she was blocked by Monique. "It's not over yet. Where are you going, Mrs. Love?"
"Not only that scumbag kidnapped Vaness and me, but he also tried to r*pe Vaness! Fortunately, you two got here in time to stop him. I'll leave everything to you now. I need to see how Vaness is doing!" Fiona was quick on the uptake. Now that Patrick was unconscious, she could lie her way out of this.
"Bah! Do you f*cking think we're fools?" Monique and Levi said at the same time. It was the first time the both of them were so in sync!
