In tears and with trembling fingers, Madison called Yvette.
Yvette picked up quickly. Madison heard her voice on the other side of the line.
âHey, whatâs up?â
Madison gripped the phone tighter. Sniveling, she got the words out with great difficulty. âYvieâ¦â
Yvette picked up the tears in her voice. Immediately, she frowned. âWhatâs wrong?â
Madison felt like crying even more after hearing Yvetteâs concern. Beside her, Alice was glaring at her to hurry up and make Yvette come over.
Madisonâs eyes were brimming with tears. But after gritting her teeth, she mustered up the rest of her strength to shout, âYvie, run! Alice and her thugs are coming after youâAhh!â
Before she could finish, Alice kicked her in the stomach again. She hung up as she seized back the phone. âYou dumb whore, how dare you defy my order!â
Aliceâs face contorted in rage. She raised her hand and struck Madisonâs face with a heavy blow that made her see stars.
âPlease, Iâm begging you, stop hitting me!â
Seeing Madison beg for mercy, Alice didnât feel a shred of sympathy. Instead, her actions only grew crueler. She beat Madison until her face swelled and her body bruised black and blue.
By the end of it, Madison no longer had the strength to even stand up.
âI gave you your chance, and you chose to squander it.â Aliceâs eyes grew cold with ruthlessness, evidently furious that Madison had foiled her plans. âIf youâre this hellâbent on protecting that bitch, then why donât you take her place in the boxing ring?â
The underground boxing ring provided its wealthy patrons with a special avenue to seek questionable thrills. The patrons loved watching the bloodbath. It was not uncommon for fighters to be beaten to death in the ring.
Aliceâs plan after luring Yvette had been to throw her into the underground boxing ring, letting her have a taste of living hell. And now Madison had gone and ruined it!
When the call was cut off suddenly, Yvetteâs face looked so menacing that everyone around her felt the chill.
âWhatâs the matter, boss?â Jake asked tentatively. Despite working for her for a long time, Yvette still made him shrink into himself in fear.
âI need you to help me find someone!â Yvetteâs eyes were tinged with frostiness. âFind her as soon as you can!â
The longer they took, the more danger Madison would be in while being in Aliceâs hands!
âGot it, boss!â
Jake immediately started looking her up using the details Yvette provided. But a moment later, his eyebrows knitted with concern.
âBoss, it seems that the person youâre looking for has been thrown into an underground boxing ring!â
That place was a rich manâs heaven and a poor manâs hell. It was a place where people got eaten alive.
âHuh,â Yvette said, her eyes turning spineâchillingly icy.
Jake shuddered. It had been a long time since heâd seen his boss this angry. Someone was going to be in trouble, some deep, deep trouble!
âWeâre going to the underground ring immediately,â Yvette said aloofly.
âAlright, boss!â
