    Chapter 119 She Gets Beaten Up


    The assistant got angry and wanted to follow up, just in case, so he called his boss: “Mr. Lamont, I just


    saw what seemed like Ms. Lloyd being kidnapped.”


    “I’m not sure if it was her, but she was on this bridge in front of the hospital.”


    Hospital, park, people who look like udia, who else could there be besides her?


    Edmond coldly said, “Follow me.”


    The assistant quickly responded, “Okay.”


    udia was awakened by a ssh of water, on a cold day. The ordinary water felt as cold as ice,


    instantly jolting her awake.


    She immediately looked at her stomach.


    The child is fine, fortunately.


    Looking around, I found that this was a dpidated warehouse. There were four or five people sca


    ttered in the warehouse, except for the one who was sshed awake with a bucket of water, the others


    were sitting on the other side, roasting fire.


    “Woke up?” Owen squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette. “Don’t be afraid, my buddies and I are not


    interested in you. We rob for money, not for pleasure.”


    Hearing that only money was stolen, udia breathed a sigh of relief.


    The yton family had a close callst time, but they still felt a lingering fear, especially now that she


    was not alone, she had a baby in her belly.


    Recently, she had been experiencing stomach pain but she hadn’t gone for a check-up. In case the


    fetus was unstable, any external stimtion could easily lead to a miscarriage.


    With this in mind, she became even calmer.


    There were four or five men here, and even though she was tough, she was no match for them. Life is


    not a TV drama, and in the face of the difference in strength, she chose topromise first.


    “The most valuable things on me were just those two cellphones. Let me go, and I will transfer 30


    thousand dors from my bank card to you.”


    The 30 thousand dors in her phone was the sry that the Lamont Group had paid her over the past


    few years, and most of her funds were stored with Pedro.


    Seeing her confident and willing to cooperate, several men were somewhat surprised, even Owen was


    also surprised.


    “No wonder he is from the Friedan family. It’s so impressive, and it also saves him trouble. Who would


    comin about having too much money?”


    Owen squinted his eyes and said to a few brothers, “Untie her.”


    When she saw him loosen his grip, udia also breathed a sigh of relief


    As long as it can be understood.


    Just at that moment, a person rushed in from outside.

    “Ervin, someone came.”


    Owen’s sinister gaze turned toward her and he asked, “Did you call someone?”


    udia froze: “I didn’t.”


    Owen stopped the person who was about to untie her and said, “Wait a moment.”


    “It’s me,” Owen’s face finally brightened a bit when he saw the person approaching.


    The person came wearing a ck mink coat, wearing a mask, and wrapped themselves tightly.

    She wore a printed silk scarf around her neck and styled her hair into wavy curls, giving off a hint of the


    middle-aged women’s fashion circle.


    “Why did youe?” Owen’s face was full of dissatisfaction.


    “I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to do it, so I came over myself. You have all done what I


    instructed, so you can leave now,” Laverne waved her hand, urging them to leave quickly.


    Owen remained unaffected, as he still had the woman’s words about 30 thousand dors on his mind.


    30 thousand dors, more than what Laverne gave.


    He hesitated a little.


    “Don’t leave yet, waiting for the police toe?” Laverne threatened them, “The police are already on


    their way, I can find a way to escape, but it’s not certain for all of you.”

    Upon hearing her say that the police wereing. Owen finally felt apprehensive


    Sue money is earned with fate but spent recklessly, and this person is use someone the Friedan family


    recently recognized. Even if they have


    courage, they wouldn’t dare to offend anyone from the Friedan Samic


    Owen quickly left through the back door with a few people.


    The entire room was left with only Laverne and udia.


    Leme looked at udia, smiling in a somewhat cerie manner.


    udia looked at her cautiously, her intuition telling her that this woman was not a good person.


    without hesitation, Laverne picked up the stick next to her and walked


    ward her.


    She was full of resentment toward udia now.


    When Elva was doing well, she was also very filial to them. She never hesitated to give them money


    and even managed to find time to visit


    them


    Now Elva has lost her legs and may also lose the shares inherited from the Friedan family. She has


    also started ming herself.


    He and her husband had endured humiliation and carried burdens for many years, all of which was


    destroyed by this Seraphina.


    Since they have already left, why would theye back?


    She couldn’t hate Elva, so she could only hate Seraphina, the main

    culprit.


    udia frowned as she watched her approach with a thick stick in her hand.


    The person was wearing a mask, and she was certain that she did not know this person, yet she could


    sense the clear hostility emanating from her.


    “Ma’am, I had no grievances or conflicts with you…..”


    Laverne didn’t wait for her to finish speaking, she struck with a stick.


    The pain in her shoulder instantly spread throughout her body. Before udia could react, the second


    blow came.


    One hit after another, each one heavier than thest.


    udia was in excruciating pain, and faced with a stick, she could only curl up as much as possible,


    protecting her stomach.


    She never expected that just after dealing with Owen, another menopausal woman woulde.


    Seeing udia silent and clearly protecting her stomach, Laverne knelt down.


    “Protecting your belly like this, do you have something inside?” Laverne squinted and asked.


    udia did not speak.


    Laverne hesitated for a moment, but eventually dropped the stick and picked up a ming wooden stick


    from the past.


    She didn’t want to hurt the innocent child, nor did she want Seraphina’s life, but there was a way to


    make her suffer unbearably.

    “You are so favored by the Friedan family that even if you were disfigured, they would spend money to


    cure you. Since that’s the case, then endure some suffering.” Laverne crazily held up a piece of


    firewood and approached her. Just then, there was a loud “bang” from the outer iron gate.


    Laverne immediately stopped what she was doing.


    The continuous banging of the iron gate frightened Laverne, causing her to drop the piece of wood in


    her hand and start running toward the back door.


    The burning wood fell onto the greasy foam lunch box with a “cr ack” sound.


    The fire quickly started.


    This was a warehouse, but it was mostly filled with sawdust and stic. The winter was dry, and the


    fire spread quickly.


    The scorching mes came rushing toward udia, who clenched her teeth and tried hard to stand up.


    However, her whole body was beaten sore, let alone standing up, even moving a little bit was painful.


    It was really cheesy…


    udia forced a bitter smile. She had endured a difficult first half of her life, and it was highly likely that


    the rest of her life would be buried here.


    She closed her eyes, curled up into a ball, and protected the baby inside her belly with all her strength.


    The smoke made her unable to open her eyes.


    “udia!”


    64.31%


    Familiar voice, she struggled to open her eyes, amidst the smoke, she saw the person standing by the


    door.


    Edmond.


    She suddenly felt happy, but quickly remembered that he was afraid of fire.


    Seeing Edmond through the mes, udia suddenly smiled.


    The tide turned unexpectedly, and she never thought that she would also have such a day.


    Seeing udia surrounded by mes, Edmond was both shocked and


    angry.


    He took a few steps forward and quickly felt a burning sensation, so he instinctively took a few steps


    back.


    udia’s heart tightened as she watched this action.


    She remembered thest time the Lamont family caught fire, and she fainted directly.


    He came over reluctantly, not only unable to save her, but also risking another life.


    “Don’te over!”


    Seeing the face he had longed for in the mes, Edmond pursed his lips, closed his eyes, clenched his


    teeth, and rushed toward her direction.


    The scorching waves quickly engulfed him, fear and memories swiftly devouring him.


    He reached out his hand to her.

    When udia saw the hand reaching out to her, her nose tingled.


    She struggled to move over, and just then, Edmond let out a low growl, crying out in pain.


    He grabbed the nearby iron cargo shelf.


    “Edmond, you go quickly!” Her tears swirled in her eyes, but before they could fall, they were quickly


    dried by the fire, leaving no trace behind.


    However, Edmond continued to walk toward her.


    This time, finally caught her hand.


    Seeing the scarred hand, udia burst into tears.


    “Edmond!”


    This sudden shout woke Edmond up abruptly.


    He grabbed her and rushed out, using his body to shield her face.


    Why…


    Didn’t you dislike her? Why did you risk your life to save her?


    I don’t know how long it took, but the two of them finally walked out of the warehouse.


    Seeing the blue sky, Edmond suddenly felt rxed, he let her down and slowly fell down.


    “Edmond!” udia hurriedly supported him.


    Seeing udia’s tear-streaked face, Edmond smiled and asked, “Why are you crying?”

    Why did you save me?
