Chapter 125


    Chapter 125


    Quintessa became highly conspicuous on the main road, so she continually veered into narrow alleys by the roadside. The


    footsteps behind her grew increasingly nearer. She dared not look back, fearing that a single nce would confront her with the


    menacing dangers poised to engulf her.


    Quintessa’s body was almost beyond her control, moving forward purely on instinctual human survival impulses. Her bare feet


    were chafed raw by the uneven ground, the constant pain jabbing at Quintessa but keeping her just conscious enough to press


    on.


    Suddenly, her hali was yanked fiercely, bringing her sprint to an abrupt halt. With the tremendous force from behind, her scalp


    seared with pain as her entire body was dragged backward.


    Avoice inside Quintessa screamed-Oh, crap!


    Asplit secondter, a crisp p sounded.


    Struck by the p, Quintessa immediately tasted blood, her head spun more dizzyingly as the world turned upside down, making


    the figure before herpletely indistinct.


    Stars burst in Quintessa’s vision, and she could only make out a blurry silhouette. She heard the person clutching her roared,


    “You wretch, think you can run after being drugged? Run now, | dare you!”


    Quintessa swayed, her scalp feeling as if it might be torn off at any second.


    Despite her blurred vision, her words came out razor-sharp, her voice icy, “Roxanne sent you, didn’t she? Kill me today, or don’t


    bother. If | live to see tomorrow, | swear I''ll make you wish you were dead. I’ll make your whole family’s life a living nightmare.”


    The myriad dangers she had encountered enabled Quintessa to maintain herposure at all times, even though this time, she


    might truly be unable to escape.


    However, as long as there was a chance, it was always worth a try.


    The two thugs momentarily stunned at her words.


    The next second, one of them sneered, “You slut, quite the bluffer. Don’t listen to her, she’s just a minor actress with no backing.


    What can she do to us? Let’s have our fun with her today, snap a few dozen nude photos, and make a little home movie. With


    these, we can make you do whatever we want.”


    Quintessa scoffed, recognizing this as Roxanne’s tactic—cliché but cruel enough to ruin her.


    “You ever hear of the York Financial Group?” she asked with ice in her voice.


    “So what if we have?”


    “Mr. Tyrone York. Tyrone is my man.”


    The thug yanked her hair in disbelief, “And | suppose the President is your secret lover?”


    Quintessa, barely clinging to consciousness, saw a shadow move. She smiled, blood trickling from her split lips, herugh


    chilling in the darkness, “Since you don’t believe, well, you can go to hell.”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

    Tyrone’s tall figure appeared in front of Quintessa.


    Holding a baseball bat in his hand, he


    strode forward, scooping her up.
