Chapter 689


    Had something happened to Skr?


    Jenny thought of how Skr had yet to reply to her message and how Joe wasn’t picking up. Paul


    even asked her to call emergency services. Considering all those factors, something had probably


    happened to Skr.


    “Had I heard it wrongly?”


    When one had a fever, one’s hearing would decline. Jenny thought she might have been mistaken.


    However, if something had happened to Skr….


    Jenny’s heart began racing. She said, “If… If something happened to Skr… Perhaps she


    wouldn’t be saved if it was a serious ident.”


    Jenny bit her lip. Her heart rate quickened even further. She had to confirm whether something had


    happened to Skr.


    She called Howard multiple times. However, he didn’t pick up.


    Jenny could confirm that something had happened to Skr.


    Half an hourter, the tightly locked door for the warehouse was sawed open.


    A few men ran in. When they saw the cameras and lights, their expression changed.

    Skr heard theme in. Her eyes were unfocused as she turned to look at them. Although her


    vision was blurry, she identified one of the men.


    “Joe, you’ve finallye, sighed Skr weakly.


    Joe was horrified by the blood streaking down Skr’s face. He looked at the men surrounding her.


    They were hurt as well.


    All of them wore nothing more than underwear. Their wounds looked terrifying.


    Aiken was dumbfounded. He stared at Skr incredulously. She…


    Blood coated her head and her face. Her clothes had also been tugged out of shape. Immediately


    after speaking, she fainted.


    She wasn’t holding a knife. It was only a rusted metal piece.


    When it fell out of her hand, it revealed the wound across her palm. Her entire palm

    was bloody. While using it to fight back, shed managed to harm them. However, she also hurt


    herself in the process.


    “All of you have a death wish!” Joe roared at the stunned men.


    The men were extremely enraged by her. They wanted to murder her. They weren’t expecting her


    to be powerful enough to wound them.


    The thing they dreaded the most hade true. Joe had found them!


    Aiken stared at Skr with a conflicted expression on his face. For a weak woman in such a


    situation, it was shocking that she could fight back.


    Joe took his coat off and covered Skr with it. He gathered the limp woman in his arms and told


    Aiken, “Teach them a lesson. Find out who paid them off.”


    Aiken nodded when he met Joe’s eyes.
