Chapter 43
"She's here." A man noticed Jessica under the table.
As soon as he reached out his hand to grab her, she dodged as fast as a bolt of lightning. Swinging her dagger, she broke his tendon.
"Ouch! It hurts so much..." That man covered his wrist, wailing in pain. Blood gushed out her wound and streamed down his arm through his fingers. The rest of the men had noticed where Jessica hid.
They exchanged glances and swarmed at her.
Jessica had inhaled an enormous amount of sleeping gas, so she had no strength left.
Moreover, those men came with knives.
"Cut the crap, bitch! Hurry up and come out.
Otherwise, don't blame us for being harsh on you."
The group of men looked at him with ferocious looks. Narrowing their eyes, they stared at Jessica under the table without doing anything.
They didn't want to hurt her if they had a choice. After all, they still planned to have some fun with the first
socialite of Horington.
"I have money. I can give you guys as much money as you want as long as you let me go. All the bargirls in Cerulean are prettier than me. You guys can find as many women as you want since you have money. Why do you have to commit any crime?" Jessica was calm. She had been surviving through multiple critical conditions on the battlefield. That would not make her feel panic.
"Money? Are you as rich as Mr. Gulliford?" The man who stood in front of the group chuckled. As he shook his head, his blond, curly hair moved.
"You guys are Mr. Gulliford's subordinates?" Jessica's heart sank.
"Is this the price for Trevor to save Bennett? He's trying to destroy me, isn't he? It seems like he's always thinking about ways to torment me..." she thought.
"Yes. Mr. Gulliford ordered us to kill Camila with a car. He also let us come and have fun with you. Just do as I say, beauty. Why are you waiting? I can make you feel like you're flying in the sky."
That man's words were as sharp as knives. They stabbed Jessica's heart so hard that her entire body turned cold.
Another deep cut appeared on her heart, which was already severely wounded.
"Haha! It turns out that he has never changed, huh?" Jessica curled the corners of her lips into a bitter smile.
As soon as she lifted her head, she noticed the men's expectant gazes. Immediately, she tightened her grip on her dagger.
"Trevor, I don't mind losing my life, but I'll never allow you to humiliate me like this!" she scoffed in her heart.
Lifting her dagger, she stabbed it at the blond-haired man's left chest without hesitation. She stabbed it on his critical part, so he passed away on the spot.
"Come and have fun with me, then!" Jessica's voice was icy-cold. The next second, she got out from under the table and pointed her dagger at the man in front of him.
As long as she was alive, she would never allow anyone to humiliate her. That was the last thing she could do to protect her dignity.
Molten anger rolled through the men as they saw their leader get killed. Immediately, flames of fury appeared in their eyes. They had been hanging out together since they were kids. Hence, they would never allow a woman to kill their leader. "Mr. Gulliford said we can kill her if she doesn't listen to us! Kill him, guys!" a man ordered.
Upon hearing that, about five men rushed toward Jessica.
Jessica looked at the knives in their hands. She then turned around without hesitation and swung her hand. The next moment, she cut two men's arteries near the necks.
She was fast, and her movements were swift.
"I'm sorry, Freddy! I have no choice but to kill someone today. Please forgive me!" she mused internally.
The two men in front of her turned their wrists, swinging their knives at Jessica's belly.
