Then, Bethany picked up her phone and made a call.
âGet someone to mess with this person. Dig out his kneecaps and make sure he spends the rest of
his life kneeling for me!â
After handing over the medication to Bethany, Simon drove home
alone.
As his car approached the neighborhood, a black MPV suddenly appeared out of nowhere and
crashed into the side of his car.
The car nearly spun 360 degrees, and the glass shattered. Simon was left seeing stars from the
impact, and he felt like his bones were
about to fall apart.
The screeching sound of the brakes echoed through the deserted
street as the car came to a stop.
Before Simon could regain consciousness, he heard the car door open and felt a rough pull as he
got yanked out of the vehicle.
âUgh!â
Before Simon could even see who dragged him out of the car, he was pinned down in front of the
car and subjected to a barrage of
punches and kicks.
âShould we break his legs, or what?â One of the attackers asked.
âNo. Just dig out his kneecaps. Hurry up!â
Simon writhed in agony, and blood streamed down his head. At that moment, he understood why
this was happening to him.
It was Bethany seeking revenge!
âKid, we have no grudge against you, but you messed with someone you shouldnât have. Youâre just
damn unlucky!â
Before he could finish his sentence, the man pulled out a gleaming
knife, ready to stab at Simonâs knees.
Just as Simon was about to bid farewell to his legs, the man in front
of him suddenly let out a scream.
The screams followed one after another, and Simonâs eyes widened
in astonishment.
Suddenly, a man wearing a black mask and a black windbreaker appeared out of nowhere. He had
sharp features and threw fierce punches. Like a black whirlwind, he swiftly took down all four
assailants.
Damn! He was incredibly cool!â
This was the kind of scene you would expect in a high-quality acti
movie. Ordinary people would not have such astonishingly agile skill
In the next moment, he watched in disbelief as the man in the black
windbreaker swiftly disarmed the attackers, breaking their tendons
and rendering them completely powerless!
With the manâs help, Simon boarded an unregistered black luxury car.
As he settled in, he was shocked.
âM-Ms. Thompson?! It was you?!â
âYes, itâs me. Who else would come to your rescue?â
Bellaâs eyes held a trace of displeasure as she examined his bruised face. âDr. Fairchild, do you
remember my previous instructions? I explicitly instructed you to act only on my commands.
Anything extra is unnecessary without my authorization.â
âAnything⦠Extra?â
Simonâs heart pounded like a drum. âI was just following your instructions by handing the medicine
to Bethanyâ¦â
âIs that so?â
Bellaâs slender arms crossed against her chest, her delicate features as cool as the moon. âWell,
why did you force Bethany to kneel before you then?â
Simon stared in astonishment, realizing that every move he made
tonight was under her supervision.
âIâm not monitoring you out of distrust. Iâm only doing it because itâs the only way to guarantee your
safety.â
Bella recalled the agony caused by her impulsiveness that led to
Linny losing her life, bringing tears to her eyes.
