Chapter 315 Scarlet shut her eyes tightly out of fear, already prepared for the sharp burn.
All of a sudden...
Bam!
The metal door was kicked open.
It was Gigi, along with the calling of the storm, as she rushed into the hub. Johnson was shocked. âGigi, why... Why are you here?â
Scarlet was equally astounded. How was Gigi able to find them in such a run-down area?
Gigi scoffed mockingly, âJohnson Spencer, do you remember the first time we met?â
Johnsonâs hand halted. That was seven years ago, and the crew came to this very area for backdrop. Gigiâs pet dog ran into the hub and she had no choice but to follow it. Unluckily, she hurt her leg and fell into the river.
Johnson happened to be on his phone in the same area and, upon hearing the commotion, went and saved Gigi.
The thunder and lightning in the sky was just the same as it was on that day. The sky turned dark as rain fell from the sky, yet Johnson shielded her and brought her into this hub... 2 âOf course I remember,â scoffed Johnson, âand why wouldnât I? You couldâve died if it wasnât for me, yet what have you done to me? What has your family done to me?
âAll these years, every one of you looked down on me, pressuring me! Giving me money like youâre getting rid of a beggar! How dare you treat me like this for saving your life back then?
âIf I had a chance, I wouldnât have saved you! Iâd rather watch you die!â
Disbelief ran through Gigiâs body like an electric shock as she jolted.
All those years, they had given him a large sum of money. Her parents had treated him well and asked him -kindly-to treat her better!
Sadly, Johnson held onto the grudge.
The Johnson in the past was a far cry from this: he hugged her, took care of her, and resuscitated her. In order to help her breathe, he unbuttoned her blouse. When Gigi eventually woke up as the rain poured outside the hub, Johnson promised, âIâll take care of you for the rest of your life.â
Johnson apparently forgot that, and he changed completely...
Heart shattered into pieces, Gigi glared at him. âI never thought youâd think of me that way. Weâve never looked down on you, nor thought of you as a beggar.
âNo matter what happened to you, we always tried to help you. How could you think of us that way? Now, calm down, and donât repeat your mistakes. Let her go,â coaxed Gigi.
âHuh? Let her go? And what, Iâll go to jail while youâll get all of my assets? Donât you dare! Get out of my sight! You donât have a say here!â Johnson launched at Scarlet and grabbed her by the neck while his other hand pointed the burnt iron toward her eyes.
âScarlet Hoffman! Call the court right now, and tell them you want to withdraw your charges! Otherwise, Iâll destroy you now and youâll be blind for the rest of your life!â
The red flaming iron got too close to Scarletâs eyes, and she could feel the heat that radiated from the iron.
The pale-faced, terrified Scarlet was scared stiff. Gigi, too, was terrified. Never did Gigi think she would see the day when her beloved would be deranged.
She called out, âNo! Stop! I can promise that youâll still have your assets after you get out of jail. I wonât use even a penny of it!
We can even split our assets now! âI never thought of taking your money. Even when youâve cheated, I never thought of suing you! promise!â Gigi yelled.
âI donât believe a word youâre saying, and I wonât go to jail! Get out of here! If you call the police, Iâll have ways to kill you and your daughter. Like this!â
Johnson growled as he inched the iron closer to Scarletâs eye, the burning red iron almost close to her eye.
Suddenly...
In the darkness, a black dart zipped through the air and stabbed Johnsonâs arm right on target. The dart went right into his flesh as fresh blood spurted from his arm.
âArgh!â
Johnson cried out in pain, and the iron in his hand fell onto the ground with a loud clang. Scarlet and Gigi were stunned, not moving an inch. They had never seen such a bloody scene!
