Chapter 434


    Charlieughed and said, “I just had Estelle looking for you. She said you


    were still on the phone. What’s been keeping you on the line for so long? Oh, where’s Yvonne?”


    Jonathan remainedposed and spoke in a calm manner, “It’s nothing. Yvonne received a call from h


    ome and it upset her. Let’s give her some time alone.”


    Carson and the rest


    were aware of the issues Yvonne was facing within her family, which created a somber atmosphere, re


    sulting in silence.


    Charlie settled into his seat, while


    Jonathan pulled a chair and positioned himself behind Estelle, observing her card game.


    Estelle had significantly enhanced her card skills, and Jonathan simply watched her without offering mu


    ch guidance.


    Emily needed to use the restroom, but the one in their


    private room was upied, so she had to use the public restroom in the hallway.


    Upon entering, Emily noticed two individuals standing by the washbasins, but she didn’t pay them muc


    h attention and continued on her way.


    Unbeknownst to her, the two women exchanged a malicious nce, their eyes filled with ill intent.


    One of the women happened to be Nora, Charlie’s ex–


    girlfriend, while the other was her aplice, Lindsey.


    Following her breakup with Charlie, Nora had sought out Noreen, whom she had previously attacked. I


    n her fear, Noreen had falsely imed that Emily had seduced Charlie while she was hospitalized.


    Nora had always wanted to find Emily, and


    suddenly encountering her today had ignited her resentment.


    Nora and Lindsey whispered a few words, and Lindsey immediately agreed and left the


    restroom.


    A few minutester, Emily emerged and washed her hands by the sink.


    Nora, applying lipstick in the mirror, nced coldly at Emily, “Ms. Sullivan, we meet again? Are you her


    e delivering food?”


    Emily turned around and took a moment to recognize Nora. She hadn’t expected to see her again.


    Nora threw her lipstick down, staring straight at Emily, “Aren’t you delivering anymore? Well, I guess yo


    u don’t have to now that you’ve hooked up with Mr. James. But from outfit, it seems


    he doesn’t care too much for you, huh?”

    Emily decided she didn’t want to deal with Nora, so she turned to leave. Nora didn’t try to stop her, but


    she watched Emily walk away with a sinister expression on her face.


    As Emily opened the door, something


    unexpected happened. A ck bag was suddenly thrown over her head, muffling her screams. She wa


    s swiftly lifted onto someone’s shoulders, and they hurriedly carried her away.


    Emily struggled frantically, her head still covered by the bag. However, her attempts were in vain as so


    meone forcefully covered her mouth, overpowering her with their strength. All she could do was helples


    sly sob into the muffling cloth.


    Nora followed and quickly left after checking the surroundings.


    A momentter, Emily was thrown onto a couch, the bag removed, and she saw seven or eight


    people standing in front of her, including Nora, Lindsey, and several men.


    Nora hade to y with these people, but unexpectedly ran into Emily. So, she had them capture E


    mily.


    Emily tried to get up and run, but a man grabbed her arm and mmed her back onto the couch,


    “You’re a wild bitch, aren’t you? Behave, and maybe you’ll suffer less!”


    Emily’s face filled with terror, turning as pale as a ghost. “You’d better not mess with me! I’ll call the poli


    ce!” she warned.

    The sinister man leaned down, his face contorted into an evil smile, and firmly grasped Emily’s chin. “C


    all the police?” he sneered. “You know what? Even if I were to kill someone right now, nobody in J City


    would dare to intervene!”


    Nora’s gaze grew icy as she stared at Emily. “Let’s torment her until she breaks. I’ll take responsibility


    for any consequences,” she dered coldly.


    Hearing Nora’s words, the men quickly closed in on Emily, encircling her.


    Emily trembled in fear but mustered her strength and swiftly seized a wine bottle from the nearby coffee


    table. With a burst of desperation, she shattered the bottle against the man’s head, causing blood and


    wine to mingle and cascade down.


    The man licked the blood from his lips, his eyes fixated on Emily with a chilling re. “Today, I’ll end yo


    ur life!” he dered.


    Emily cowered on the couch, clutching the broken wine bottle tightly. “Stay away from me!” she pleaded


    , her voice trembling.
