Jared turned his head to the voice subconsciously and was utterly stunned to see Arielle.
Why is Arielle here? She shouldn’t be here!
Meanwhile, the group of men instinctively turned around too.
The customers who were having supper there earlier were all scared off. As such, they wondered who
would be daring enough to come again.
Everyone there stared at Arielle, who was standing upright in her pajamas and two different shoes, with
their mouths agape.
Her hair was unruly, yet everyone could not take their eyes off her, as she still looked gorgeous with her
fair skin and perfect features.
The leader of the gang fixed his gaze on Arielle intently and subconsciously gentled his tone as he
murmured, “Hey, little lady, this isn’t someplace you should be wandering around in.”
“Shut up!” she responded blandly. “Leave now, or I will make you guys leave myself!”
Hearing her cold and arrogant tone, all of them could not help but feel slightly intimidated by Arielle’s
voice.
The leader was stunned by her bold response. He sneered, “It’s a good thing to stand up for injustice.
However, you should evaluate the situation before
deciding to be a hero. Any one of us can easily break your bones. I’ll count to three. If you’re too
stubborn to leave, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
As he spoke, his gaze trailed across her form lecherously.
His lustful look caused Arielle to frown in distaste. As she was about to dash forward to make a move,
Jared interjected, “Arielle, leave now! You shouldn’t be here!”
Arielle landed her gaze on Jared, only to see Henry lying behind him. Right away, her face darkened and
filled with rage.
She then looked away and stared sternly at that group of men in front of her.
All of them were armed with metal rods or even machetes.
Before this, Arielle had participated in a bigger fight overseas when she attempted to rescue Harvey.
Hence, fighting these men was a piece of cake to her.
Upon hearing what Jared said, the armed men realized that Arielle was not attempting to be a hero.
Instead, she was there because of Jared. Straight away, all of them burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha! Are you guys being serious? How embarrassing is it to get help from a girl? I’ll give her one
more chance to get lost. Or else, we’re going to do
something bad to her.”
One of the leader’s lackeys went up to him and whispered, “If I didn’t hear wrongly, that girl’s name is
Arielle. Isn’t she one of our targets too?”
The leader was taken aback and stared disbelievingly at Arielle. “You’re Arielle Moore?”
Arielle’s eyes were full of disgust as she responded, “You don’t deserve to say my name.”
The leader smirked lightly. “What a coincidence for everyone to gather here. Since you don’t want to
leave, then I have no choice but to do things my way.” He turned to his men and ordered, “Go get her
and disfigure her pretty face!”
“What a pity to do that though…” he mumbled to himself regretfully.
If it were not for the huge amount of money, he would not think about going after a gorgeous girl like
Arielle.
At the leader’s command, two men strode in Arielle’s direction.
Seeing that, Jared wanted to rush over, but one of the men instantly whacked him in the stomach with
his metal rod.
With a grunt, Jared coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Before Jared could come back to his senses, his limbs
were grabbed by the men forcefully.
“Let me go! She’s not my friend! She’s merely my classmate. Do whatever you want to me, just don’t hurt
her, please!”
The leader chuckled softly. “Sorry, I can’t do that. My customer wants all three of you.”
