Fortunately, she’d taken precautions, ensuring that she never directly interacted with these ruffians.


    This realization bolstered her confidence. She shouted, “Did you dredge up these goons just to nder


    me? I don’t even know them! Ask them if they’ve seen me before. You can’t frame me so easily!”


    The ruffians became infuriated upon hearing her attempt to distance herself from them. They red at


    her in collective resentment.


    Brody gritted his teeth in resentment. He’d only taken this job for the money, but he hadn’t received a


    dime yet. Worse, he had a broken arm, a dislocated jaw, and now he was being mocked and belittled


    by Kassidy.


    He had suffered both mentally and physically.

    Brody’s anger was reflected in his bloodshot eyes. In a fit of rage, he shrugged off the bodyguards,


    lunged at Kassidy, yanking her hair and pping her with his uninjured hand, his voice a hoarse snarl.


    “This is all your fault! How dare you im you don’t know me?”


    “Ah! Help! This man is insane!” Kassidy cried out in shock.


    Loraine was taken aback.


    It took her a moment toprehend the scene before her. Hastily, she instructed her men to pull Brody


    away.


    Kassidy, reeling from Brody’s attack, fell to the ground.


    Her face was red and swollen, her hair in disarray, and her clothes tattered.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Loraine had merely intended to scare Kassidy, but Brody’s impassioned retaliation had escted


    matters. He had let loose his fury on her without holding back.


    Loraine had intended to lure Kassidy here to make her realize her mistake. She did not anticipate the


    scene that had just unfolded before her.


    Sulkily, she touched the tip of her nose and instructed Carl to untie


    Kassidy.


    Kassidy was on the verge of hysteria, her Lips trembling as she sobbed,


    “I’ve been bullied by a thug. I’m no longer pure…”


    Loraine instructed Carl to escort Kassidy home, but not before delivering a warning, “Kassidy, consider


    this a small Lesson. If you cross me again, I won’t be so lenient!”


    Kassidy wished to retort, but the sight of Carl and the bodyguards silenced her.


    Wincing in pain throughout the journey, she dashed into the Cruz family’s vi the moment Carl let her


    out of the car.


    Kassidy didn’t need to feign her anguish. She went straight to


    Florence, bursting into a dramatic tirade.
