Chapter 423: Chapter 423: It’s Not a Multiple-Choice Question, It’s a Life-or-Death Question
Ivana Monroe opened the office door and ran outside, but was caught by Samuel Lockwood by the corner of her clothes.
Samuel Lockwood grabbed her without letting go, forcefully dragging her back inside...
"Help... Help~"
Ivana Monroe cried out loudly for help.
Samuel Lockwood’s office was on the upper floor, and apart from him, there were only two secretaries. One of the secretaries had gone downstairs, while the other heard Ivana Monroe’s cry for help and sprinted over.
She was shocked by the scene before her.
Their President Lockwood was tying Ivana Monroe’s hands with a belt and dragging her inside.
Didn’t President Lockwood love Mrs. Lockwood very much? There were so many pretty young women at the law firm, and none had caught President Lockwood’s eye. How could he do such a thing to Ivana Monroe in broad daylight?
And in President Lockwood’s office?
The secretary was baffled.
"Call the police, help me call the police." Ivana Monroe saw the secretary and felt like she saw a lifeline.
The secretary’s face turned pale, panicking immensely. She didn’t agree to Ivana Monroe’s plea but glanced at Samuel Lockwood.
After all, Samuel Lockwood was the big boss who paid her salary.
"If you dare help her call the police, I won’t let you off." Samuel Lockwood threatened the secretary fiercely: "Get lost, pretend you didn’t see anything."
"Oh oh~"
The secretary was so scared that she scuttled away in fright.
Ivana Monroe saw that her plea for help failed, lifted her foot again, but this time Samuel Lockwood was prepared. As she tried to kick, he grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.
Ivana Monroe fell to the ground, her whole body in agonizing pain.
Samuel Lockwood loomed over her, his handsome face distorted with emotion.
Somewhere... hurts so much...
Although he temporarily couldn’t fulfill that function, in order to "silence" Ivana Monroe, he began to pull off her pants.
Ivana Monroe stared at him with reddened eyes, unable to move, gritting her teeth: "Samuel Lockwood, you beast."
Samuel Lockwood seemed not to hear her, the pain driving him close to collapse.
Just as Samuel Lockwood was about to pull down her pants.
Suddenly, a kick flew, sending Samuel Lockwood sprawling on the ground.
Ivana Monroe was helped up.
"Are you alright?"
Ivana Monroe met Isaac Heston’s concerned gaze.
Ivana Monroe shook her head, tears streaming down immediately.
Isaac Heston was startled by her tears, thinking she was frightened, and he held her in his arms: "Ivana, don’t be afraid, no one can bully you, I’ll beat this beast to death for you."
Ivana Monroe was indeed scared, she didn’t move, letting her tears flow silently for a while, and then noticed an embarrassing situation, her face instantly reddened.
Her pants... were falling down.
"Help me unbuckle the belt."
"Oh~ okay."
Isaac Heston was a bit slow to react, holding the woman he liked, he was so overjoyed that he forgot himself, his heart trembling like a young boy in love for the first time, wishing time would stand still at that beautiful moment before.
Isaac Heston helped Ivana Monroe release the belt binding her hands, his fingers brushing against her smooth skin, his heart began to tremble again, he didn’t even notice Ivana Monroe’s jeans slipping down a bit.
After unbuckling it.
Ivana Monroe suddenly turned Isaac Heston’s body away: "No turning back."
Isaac Heston: "..."
Ivana Monroe quickly pulled up her pants, and after fixing them.
Isaac Heston rolled up his sleeves, ready to beat Samuel Lockwood.
Samuel Lockwood was in great pain from Ivana Monroe’s kick, and he was no match for Isaac Heston, ending up curled up on the ground after being beaten.
"Damn it, the woman I like, and you dare touch her?"
Isaac Heston was very angry, the consequences were serious.
Ivana Monroe’s face turned red when she heard Isaac Heston’s words.
Samuel Lockwood got kicked and beaten, he groaned a few times, keeping his curled-up posture. Hearing Isaac Heston’s words, he suddenly laughed: "This woman you like, she has been involved with Leon Keane countless times."
Isaac Heston’s face darkened upon hearing this, he kicked even harder.
Samuel Lockwood was kicked to the point of vomiting blood.
Ivana Monroe saw that this wouldn’t end well, she pulled Isaac Heston: "Stop it, if you keep hitting, it’ll be a murder."
Isaac Heston: "If he dies, he deserves it. At worst I’ll go to jail."
Ivana Monroe: "..."
Ivana Monroe forcefully dragged Isaac Heston away.
Outside.
Isaac Heston was fuming: "Ivana, you shouldn’t have dragged me away, you should let me kick that trash to death."
Ivana Monroe laughed: "You said he was trash, is it worth it to go to jail for trash?"
Isaac Heston suddenly looked at Ivana Monroe with deep emotion: "For you, it’s worth it."
Ivana Monroe’s cheeks burned, this Isaac Heston was really too good at being sentimental!
Ivana Monroe couldn’t take Isaac Heston’s intense gaze: "Um... I still have things to do... goodbye."
After saying that, Ivana Monroe turned and left.
Isaac Heston: "..."
Ivana Monroe came by car, she got into her car, took a deep breath, Isaac Heston was too enchanting, suddenly saying those kinds of things to her, if it was before, she would definitely have cursed him as crazy.
But Isaac Heston had just saved her.
Ivana Monroe now really couldn’t curse him.
Ivana Monroe started the engine, pressing the accelerator, preparing to get out of the parking space.
Whoosh~ Bang~
A bullet shot through the driver’s side window, aiming at Ivana Monroe’s forehead.
It didn’t hit Ivana Monroe.
Ivana Monroe’s genuine leather driver’s seat was pushed down, she lay back, watching the bullet pass through the driver’s window, and then out the passenger’s window.
Ivana Monroe’s blood seemed to freeze, how did she attract a murderous disaster?
Ivana Monroe didn’t have time to think so much, suddenly, a face wearing a silver mask appeared in front of Ivana Monroe, the man’s dark eyes were eerie, seemingly glinting with a deep purple light, his exposed chin was firm, his lips curled into a smile, revealing dazzling white teeth.
"Ah-ha~ Seems like I’m not the only one who wants to kill you."
The man’s voice was deep, with a taunting tone.
Ivana Monroe sucked in a breath of cold air, this man, when did he get into her car? Was it when she got off, or when she got on? Why didn’t she notice?
Ivana Monroe’s palms were drenched in cold sweat, she forced a relaxed smile and said: "Oh? Really? Can you demonstrate your capability by rescuing me from that assassin’s hands?"
The man raised an eyebrow: "Why should I save you? Do you think I’m a fool?"
Ivana Monroe smiled... Her smile was extremely beautiful, as if seductively saying: "Prove your... capability."
The man stared at her smile, he’s seen many beautiful smiles, but to see one so luminous at a time of life and death, Ivana Monroe was the first.
The man raised his hand and touched Ivana Monroe’s pretty face once.
The skin was so smooth, delicate like satin.
"Then you better be sure, in my hands, your death could be a hundred times more painful than a bullet."
The man’s voice was calm, as if discussing a simple matter.
Perhaps this was his daily routine.
Ivana Monroe’s cold sweat ran down her back.
Damn it!
Went out today without checking the calendar? One unlucky thing after another.
This man might be a complete psychopath.
Ivana Monroe was in a fierce inner struggle.
This isn’t a choice, it’s a death trap!
