Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ronald wanted to ask more, but the five minutes were due. Soon, the policeman pushed the door open and abruptly took away Samantha’s phone, saying, “Follow me.”

Samantha took a deep breath, stood up, and followed him.

The guard searched her body and confiscated all the items on her. Then, she led Samantha to the detention room.

The guard opened the steel door and said coldly, “Go in.”

Samantha walked in, and she heard the steel door behind her closing and locked.

As the detention room had no one, Samantha felt relief. She simply found a corner and sat there.

At the same time, she also wondered when Rochelle would hear her voice message, and also, once Timothy knew about her situation, would he come and save her.

She hugged her knees and thought… Would he come?

Time was ticking by, yet there was no movement outside the door. Samantha felt as if she had been locked up for a really long time.

Samantha did not know how long had passed, but she heard footsteps approaching.

Samantha listened as the sound was getting clearer, and it stopped at her door. Then, she hurriedly looked up, and her eyes lit up.

Did someone come to save her?

Was it Rochelle… or Timothy?

It should be Chelle… After all, Samantha did not dare to have high hopes for Timothy.

The door opened, and what she saw was neither of them but three strong middle-aged women walking in one after another.

Then, the guard closed the door and walked away.

The three women were looking at Samantha, and their gaze instantly changed. After glancing at one another, they surrounded Samantha.

When Samantha saw them, she had a hunch that they were trouble. Just as she had expected… Soon, Samantha became vigilant. She stood and clenched her fists.

She had checked the detention room. It was situated at the end of the hall, and sound could not easily be heard from outside. Hence, it would be useless no matter how much Samantha yelled for help.

Samantha always had her silver needles with her, and she could use them to attack her enemies. However, they were all confiscated when the guard searched Samantha’s body just now. Thus, she could only rely on her bare fists.

It was either Samantha who knocked them down or vice versa.

The three women noticed Samantha’s posture was as if she was ready for the challenge, and they laughed in disdain. Samantha was such a delicate young girl with soft and tender skin, so how would she be able to fight them?

One of the women said, “Little missy, you can’t blame us. You’re the foolish one who provoked the wrong person.

Samantha sneered. “Stopped speaking rubbish!”

“Hey, she has such a big temper. Sisters, let’s teach her a lesson and show her the meaning of respecting her elders.”

Then, the three women rushed toward her.

Samantha agilely dodged them, throwing unrestrained punches at them, and fought them.

Initially, the women looked down upon Samantha as she appeared weak, yet they were the ones who suffered. The ladies did not even really managed to hurt her. Instead, Samantha hit them a few times.

Hence, they instantly became angry and serious.

Although they were not properly trained in martial arts, they were strong, and there were many of them as opposed to Samantha fighting alone. Moreover, they were really good at annoying Samantha.

After a while, Samantha’s energy was gradually depleting, and she was starting to lose.

The ladies laughed triumphantly. Then, they seized the opportunity, and two of them held Samantha’s hand, forcefully pressing her against the wall.

Samantha struggled but to no avail.

The leading lady walked toward Samantha, grabbed her chin, and ruthlessly mocked, “Let’s fight! Why aren’t you fighting anymore? Weren’t you quite capable just now? Are you out of strength already?”

Samantha smiled coldly. Then, the next second, she opened her mouth and bit the woman’s finger.

“Ahh—” The woman yelled in pain and hurriedly pulled her hand back. The rage in her eyes was burning brighter. “You’re digging your own grave!”

The woman on her left had bruises on her eye from Samantha’s beating, so she spoke through gritted teeth in resentment, “Boss, this girl won’t give up until it’s too late!”

“Alright. Let’s give her a taste of our ruthlessness.”

The boss spat. Next, she took out a small hairpin that she hid in her tied hair.

She held the blunt tip and pointed the sharp edge at Samantha.

“Ladies, hold her tight!”

“Yes, boss!”

Then, the boss let out an eerie laugh. Then, she raised her hand and mercilessly aimed at Samantha’s beautiful face.

…

Ronald listened as the phone abruptly hung up, and frowned.

Samantha’s matter seemed quite urgent. Should he tell Timothy about it immediately?

If he simply interrupted the meeting and Timothy was unwilling to help Samantha, he would have to suffer Timothy’s rage!

Timothy paced in front of the conference room, and he kept recalling Samantha’s words. Nevertheless, in the end, he still could not sit by and not do anything.

Then, he tore a sticky note, wrote down the situation, and stuck it on a file. Then, after taking a few deep breaths, Ronald pushed the conference door open and walked toward Timothy’s side.

He pushed the document to Timothy and whispered, “Mr. Barker, something urgent came up.”

Timothy glanced at the sticky note on the document. There was no change in emotions on his face, and even his eyes were calm.

Seeing this, Ronald could not help but tremble in fear.

Oh no… This was it for him… It appeared that Timothy did not care about Samantha at all. Once the meeting was over, Ronald would be done for.

Ronald turned around as he wanted to leave the room and prepare his resignation letter.

Just as he took a step, he heard Timothy’s deep voice rang, “The meeting will end here. Dismiss.”

Everyone was stunned. They were discussing the most crucial matter, yet Timothy suddenly stopped the meeting?

Nevertheless, Timothy did not cast another glance at the crowd. Instead, he stood and walked out of the conference room in large steps.

Ronald was still in a daze, and he only came to his senses a few seconds later. Timothy should really stop scaring others like that. Ronald thought that was truly the end of him.

Then, he hurriedly followed Timothy.

Later, the car drove at high speed on the road, accelerating to the police station!

…

When he saw that the sharp hairpin was about to stab Samantha’s cheek, the detention room door slammed open, and it was actually almost kicked open from outside!

The loud bang stunned everyone. Soon, a man with an imposing and fierce aura strode in.

Before Samantha could see who it was, she heard a wail by her ear.

Then, she saw a beautiful hand holding the boss’s hand. Even though he was not using much force, Samantha could hear bones cracking.

She followed the hand and slowly looked up, and Timothy’s beautiful face gradually became clearer in her line of sight.

Timothy came…

He was really willing to save her…

Samantha’s eyes fluttered non-stop as she was still in disbelief.

Was she hallucinating as she was in a dire moment or was this real?
