Chapter <b>4 </b>
When <b>I </b>came out of the bathroom. Annie was being surrounded by a group of drunks.
“Look who we have here, the campus belle Annie! How about keeping uspany, huh<b>?</b><b>” </b>
The leader wore a floral shirt, a Patek Philippe watch, and a Tiffany cross ne a typical rich yboy.
“Back off, Oliver! My boyfriend’s gonna be here any minute!”
This was Oliver Walden, the son of the perfumepany Walden family, known for ying with and discarding women.
And he had set his sights on Annie. <fn7b03> Find the newest release on f?ndnovel</fn7b03>
Seeing him reach out to touch Annie, I grabbed a nearby beer bottle and pointed it at Oliver, standing in front of Annie.
“Don’t touch her!”
Trying to be a hero had its consequences, though.
Oliver’sckeys dragged Annie away, and when I tried to stop them, I was shed by Oliver’s knife.
“Ah!”
“Madam!<b>” </b>
As the bright red blood soaked my designer dress, making it look like a magnificent peony, the customers all fled, and the music stopped.
“You bitch, daring to interfere with my fun!”
Oliver pinned Annie down on the table, impatient to undress his pants.
“I said, don’t touch her!”
Remembering the image of my parents‘ severed limbs, I felt no more pain.
I grabbed a chair, ready to smash it onto Oliver.
But I was kicked down by one of hisckeys.
“She’s not bad either. Boys, have fun with her!”
“Ahh<b>!</b>”
As theckeys approached, Annie suddenly bit Oliver.
Then she ran and hid in the embrace of a tall figure.
It’s him, Hendrick had finally arrived.
His narrow eyes revealed no emotion, but the slight tightening of his lips told me he was in a foul mood.
Sure enough, he just waved his hand, and a horde of bodyguards rushed in.
“Take Miss Annie to rest.”
After Annie left, Oliver, trembling like a quail, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hendrick.
But Hendrick didn’t even nce at him, simply striding towards me.
<b>I </b><b>thought </b>he would scoop me up, seeing that I was injured.
Instead, “<b>p</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
A resounding pnded on my face.
Gripping my neck, he angrily demanded. “Tell me, what do you know about Annie!”
Ah, so he thought I had orchestrated this, that I had instructed Oliver to harass Annie.
“Hendrick, your romantic delusions need a serious reality check. I was just trying to save your precious little canary–and this is what <b>I </b>get for
it…”
“Tell me, who instigated this? I can spare your family.”
He suddenly turned to Oliver.
Oliver’s shifty eyes darted around, then he pointed at me with a trembling hand.
“It… it was this woman. She told us to harass Annie, saying that if we slept with her, you’d dump her!<b>” </b>
“You’re talking nonsense!”
I couldn’t believe Oliver’s words.
But the next moment, my jaw was seized by Hendrick.
“Very well, Liliann Hill. Today I’ll let you see what it means to reap what you sow!”
“You guys go ahead and make her satisfy all of you. I’ll just overlook this little incident.”
He was still so ruthless.
“You can’t do this to me! I’m your wife!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Morrison. We’ll make sure it’s perfect.”
Oliver and his crew didn’t care that I was hurt. They tore off their pants and piled on top of me.
“Bastard! Hendrick! You’re a BASTARD!”
His shadow paused for a second, then disappeared.
How I wished my injuries were deadly, so I wouldn’t have to endure this insult anymore.
“Haha, so she’s a virgin! This is our lucky day!”
Oliver’s cruelugh echoed, and tears started streaming down my face.
Pain tore through my whole body, and suddenly, I remembered my wedding to Hendrick…
He had stood tall in his ck suit, tenderly taking my hand from my father.
That was the closest I had evere to happiness, believing that one day, we would fall in
But it was all just a foolish dream.
Until the sky grew bright, the bodyguards who had been posted outside finally came in.
<b>“</b>You may leave now.”
love.
Oliver, still looking not satisfied enough, tossed a business card at me as he left.
“That was good, baby… If you need anything, juste find me.”
After everyone was gone, the bodyguard who had covered me with the tattered dress averted his gaze.
<b>“</b>Mrs. Morrison, shall I take you to the hospital?”
Right, there was still a gaping hole in my abdomen, but the bleeding had long been staunched by the dried blood.
I struggled to my feet, silently digging out my phone to make a call.
“John, the n is elerated. Please help me erase all my identity information.”
“I’m going to make sure Hendrick can never find me again.”
