Chapter 280


    The two men were even madder, as if they had lost their minds. They were taking out all their hatred for


    Mark on Raine.


    "Enough!" Summer shouted. She exaggerated her actions, hoping to divert their attention to herself. "I


    have a cheque with me right now. Don''t you guys want it?"


    But before the two men responded to her, Raine was livid. She was powerless, cold, and her voice had


    turned hoarse when she said, "There is no need for you to be a hypocrite here!"


    There was only hatred for Summer in her heart!


    Summer furrowed her brows, but she still managed to catch the two men''s attention. At least they


    stopped what they were doing.


    The man with the knife looked at Summer and scoffed in disapproval. "She doesn''t even appreciate

    your '' hypocrisy''. Why do you still want to be a busy body and stick your nose into this?"


    "To me, this is nothing close to being a busy body.


    Together, we hiked the same hill and met the same thugs. Yet, she is the only one who got hurt; I''m still


    standing here without a scratch. Anyone with a working brain would find me suspicious. So, none of


    this is for her. I''m just trying to protect myself. I am


    not as great as you think I am!"


    She had no idea when somebody else would be here. The only thing she could do was to stall them for


    as long as she could, even if it was just for a minute.


    Besides, she was a woman, and they were two big men. There was no way that she could stand a


    chance against them. Furthermore, she was carrying a big tummy with her baby in it. She was just


    asking for death if she really went up and fought them.


    At that moment, a string of footsteps could be heard. The two men panicked and looked over


    immediately.


    Following their gaze, Summer turned around and looked over too. It was Mark, and she finally felt a


    sense of relief. Her body was so tensed it felt like she was about to copse.


    Her fists that were tightly held were also loosened. Her palms had purple bruises from her digging her


    nails into it. ''Thump, thump, thump,’ went her pounding heart. She felt like it was about to jump out o f


    her chest, but it had also calmed down.


    Upon noticing that tall and straight body, Baine''s tears poured down from the corner of her eyes as she


    just looked at Mark silently.


    His deep eyes looked so dark and gloomy as if there was a cloud of grey fog over them. There were


    even red veins in them, making him look like he was ready t o kill anytime.


    Of course, the two men felt it. They quickly pulled up their pants that had already fallen on their knees


    as their eyes fixated on Mark.


    At the same time, he shifted his arm and ced the knife on Raine''s neck. The de was so sharp it


    sliced through her delicate skin, causing droplets of blood to seep out.


    "You did us wrong first. So, naturally, somebody is going to pay the price of your actions. And thisdy


    right here is going to be the victim, stop moving forward!"


    Both the men were holding onto Raine''s arm as they slowly backed away from Mark.


    The other man was terrorized by Mark''s gaze, but he had no intention of backing out. "Mr. Swanson


    was the one who ordered us to leak thepany''s contract. Sacking us was tolerable, but you still had


    us sent to jail! You deserved this!"


    Mark''s expression turned even deeper and colder. A series of cracking sounds could be heard from his


    big knuckles as he swept his gaze across Raine''s body.


    He continued marching forward as if he did not hear a word they just said, just taking wide strides


    towards the two men.


    As he was walking past Summer, she couldn’t help but remind him, "Be careful."
