Chapter 20 Having Some Fun With Us
As Francesca stepped out of the house that evening, an immediate sense of unease washed over her.
It appeared as though the people around her were constantly engaged in subtle gestures of pointing and whispering, their attention directed toward her. But when she turned to look, they would quickly turn away and pretended as if nothing had happened.
She pursed her lips. Just as she was about to continue on her way to the supermarket, Yoel called.
“Whatever you do, don’t go outside! Someone leaked your address online. Stay at home, and I’ll come pick you up right away!” Yoel’s voice was filled with anxiety, indicating the gravity of the situation.
Francesca’s expression darkened.
It would be impossible for netizens to find her address just by searching online in such a short period of time, not unless someone deliberately leaked it.
The mastermind behind the incident was glaringly evident.
Francesca had no intention of challenging the people, so she turned around, intending to return.
Just then, two shady–looking men blocked her way.
The man’s gaze unabashedly swept over Francesca’s body. “So you’re that homewrecker, huh? You really are quite attractive. How about having some fun with us?”
Francesca looked around and noticed that some people were excitedly

taking out their phones to capture the scene, while others whispered quietly to their companions. However, not a single person intended to step forward and help.
She could even faintly hear words like “homewrecker” and “serves her right.”
She lowered her eyes slightly, her fingers quickly tapping a few times on a specific spot on her phone.
“Get lost,” Francesca sternly demanded the two young ruffians.
The admonishments did not faze them in the slightest; instead, they elicited laughter from their lips. “Don’t worry. While our wallets may not match up to Mr. Zeller’s, our physical prowess will certainly not disappoint you.”
As they spoke, they even reached out to touch Francesca’s face.
Francesca quickly pulled out her own key. Unlocking the mechanism, she pulled off one end of the key to reveal a sharp little knife that she fiercely stabbed into the man’s palm.
The man let out an agonizing scream, blood immediately spurting out of his palm.
“You b*tch!” The man, in extreme pain, cursed loudly and then reached out to grab Francesca.
How could Francesca possibly let him succeed? She quickly pulled out the small knife embedded in his palm and stabbed it into his other hand.
At this point, his companion also noticed that something was wrong, and quickly rushed over to grab Francesca’s wrist.
Bam!

Before Francesca had a chance to make a move, a powerful force struck the man directly in the chest, sending him flying off.
Suddenly feeling dizzy, Francesca ended up falling into a familiar embrace.
“Colton!”
Francesca looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Wasn’t he supposed to be on a business trip?
Colton’s expression was cold as he ordered those behind him, “Send them to the police station after the fight.”
Right behind him, a group of tall and burly bodyguards emerged, their presence commanding attention as they briskly approached the two thugs.
In no time, the ruffians‘ wails of agony could be heard.
Even though Colton saved Francesca, her sour demeanor toward him didn’t improve. After all, if it weren’t for his first crush, she wouldn’t have had to go through such an ordeal.
She shook off Colton’s hand, wanting to leave, but Colton’s face darkened as he blocked her way. “Are you still going to be stubborn now?”
The exposure of her address was extremely dangerous for Francesca.
Before Francesca could speak, Yoel hurried over, panting. He put his arm around Francesca’s shoulder and said to Colton, “I don’t need you to worry about my fiancée, Mr. Zeller.”
Colton sneered. “Is this how you treat your fiancée? You can’t even control a trending topic on Twitter. When did the Zabielski family become so inept?”

Yoel choked up for a moment, his grip on Francesca’s hand tightening. “We don’t need your concern,” he retorted.
With that said, he turned to leave with Francesca.
“Mr. Zeller…”
Observing the displeasure etched across Colton’s face, Timothy, his assistant, approached him cautiously, leaning in to whisper, “Regarding the trending topic…”
Colton glanced at him indifferently.
“I get it; I’ll take care of it right away!” Timothy said quickly before hurrying off to make the call.
Colton narrowed his eyes as he watched the two individuals walking away, their hands intertwined.
