Meanwhile, Joe had just finished his dinner and was clearing the dishes away.
Claire shrieked anxiously, “Joe, there is a supplier quotation in my bag, did you see it?”
Joe shook his head. “No, I haven’t touched your bag since we came home.”
Claire fell silent for a moment, trying to trace her memory, then, she slapped her forehead and sighed. “Ah, I think I left it in the meeting room! I need to use it tomorrow morning. Mind driving me there to take it?”
Joe chuckled gently. “Look at you, you’re so exhausted. You go and rest, I’ll get it for you.”
Claire sighed gladly and said, “Indeed, I’m worn out. Thank you, dear, the file number is GY20191101.”
“You’re welcome, my dear.”
Joe grabbed the car key and went out of the door.
On the other hand, Harold and Loreen had just left the restaurant and were standing by the road.
Loreen was looking out for empty taxis when a group of studly men stormed out of three white vans parked on the side of the road and ran towards them aggressively.
The men covered their faces with black cloth, holding steel pipes in their hands. They seemed to be coming after them for revenge!
“Damn it!” Harold trembled in horror when he saw the men running towards him.
Blood drained from Loreen’s face when she saw the scene too. She figured that these men were here because of the young man, and from the looks of it, they would probably die!
Sure enough, the young man with the bloody bandage on his head stood up and shouted, “Damn it, go!”
Suddenly, as soon as the voice fell, the group of ferocious men stampeded toward Harold.
“I’m from the Wilson family! Don’t you dare touch me!”
Harold was extremely panicked and flustered, but he managed a haughty tone and yelled.
A brawny man grinned contemptuously. He lifted the steel pipe and slammed it at him.
As Harold watched the steel pipe was aiming at him, he was so frightened and panicked that he almost wet himself.
Suddenly, he grabbed Loreen’s hand and pushed her out towards the men, then he ran towards his car, opened the door quickly, got in, and drove away without a second look at his back.
Loreen screamed hastily as she was pushed towards the ferocious men, and she blew up when she looked at Harold running away like a scaredy-cat.
Damn it! Harold Wilson was such a wuss and coward!
After causing a scene, he had the nerve to push a lady forward as his shield in such a critical moment and escape by himself!
He was the most disgusting scum in the world!
The young man cursed out loud as Harold escaped.
“Damn it, that fucker! Left the lady here and ran! What a loser!”
Then, he turned to Loreen and snarled coldly, “Beauty, call that bastard back, otherwise, you’re next!”
Loreen blurted in a panic, “He and I, we’re just acquaintances, please don’t involve me in your affairs.”
The young man pointed to his bandaged head and growled, “Damn, I have sixteen stitches on my head! I won’t be satisfied until I have my revenge! If he doesn’t come back for you, I’ll take you home and spend the night together as a fucking compensation!”
Loreen shrieked in horror. “What? You can’t do that! It’s illegal!”
“Illegal?” The young man growled, “Do you think you can talk law to me? I’m the law! After I’m done with you, you’ll know what the real law is!”
Loreen felt a sudden chill surging her heart as horror and despair crippled her.
“I’ll… I’ll call him now!”
She took out her phone with her shaking hands and dialed Harold’s number.
Harold was behind the wheels and desperately driving away, wanting to go as far as he could before those men could tail him. His heart skipped a beat when Loreen called him.
Damn it!
Earlier, all he could think of was to run away and ditch Loreen at the scene in the process. The woman must despise him very much now!
Damn, what a stroke of bad luck!
His initial intention was to tackle her, connected with the Thomas family in the process, and brought his entire family to the next level.
However, as the events unfolded, he had offended Loreen to the very core!
How could he answer the phone right now?
The only reason she called was to ask him to go back, even an idiot could think of it.
But, would he still be alive if he went back? Those men were so hostile and intimidating with the steel pipes in their hands, even if their beatings didn’t kill him, it would paralyze him for life.
Compared to the relationship, staying alive was more important!
Thus, he decided to ignore her calls and kept on moving!
Loreen was utterly desperate and disappointed when her calls went unanswered. She begged the young man, “I can give you money, please let me go, it’s really none of my business.”
The young man grinned wickedly. “I don’t want your money! I want you!”
Loreen’s whole body was shaking in fear. She knew that if she didn’t do something now, this man would never let her go.
So, she gritted her teeth and kicked between the young man’s legs when he wasn’t looking.
The young man didn’t expect that she would dare to resist. He screamed in agony and loosened his grip on her, then, involuntarily, he swung his knife towards her!
Loreen wanted to run away when she felt a sharp pain coming from her thigh. She screamed and collapsed on the floor.
A sharp dagger pierced her leg, blood oozing out of the horrifying wound.
“Bitch, do you think you can run from me?!”
The young man grabbed her by the hair and sneered. “Congratulations, you’ve triggered me. My brothers and I will take good care of you tonight!”
Loreen’s cheeks were drenched with tears of despair.
She had foreseen her own death in her heart. She knew that this young man would not let her go, and she was afraid that her life would end here, in his hands.
At a moment like this, no one would be there to save her from them…
Yet, she failed to notice that there was a black BMW gradually approaching them. Joe, who was behind the wheels, frowned when he saw her at a glance!
