Chapter 197
Finally, Brent was free at last. He turned to look at Alice’s bewildered face, a cruel smile spreading across his lips. “Oh, Alice. After all your scheming, you never realized someone smarter was playing you.”
Alice was getting anxious because no one from the Lambert family had shown up. Her face paled a little. “What are you talking about?”
Brent had wanted to destroy her for years after enduring so much humiliation at her hands. Now that he had his money and was about to leave Druville, he figured there was no reason why he shouldn’t humiliate her to his heart’s content first.
Enraged, he started tearing at her clothes. Alice jumped in fear. “What are you doing? Do you know who I am? You’d better stop right now, or I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
“You bitch! When you cut off my ear, I swore I’d get my revenge someday!”
Alice tried to scream but was slapped repeatedly until her face swelled. Brent took out all his rage on her. She was in shock, unable to understand how things had gone so wrong.
She started begging, but he ignored her, hurling insults while continuing his assault.
Alice’s eyes had turned bloodshot. Once her family arrived, she would make him pay. She would kill him!
But after two hours of torment, the Lamberts still hadn’t come. When Brent had satisfied his revenge, he tied her hands and feet and dumped her in an alley. “Here’s a gift for you guys. Hahaha!”
He quickly pulled up his pants and fled, rushing to book the next flight out of the country. This was exactly why people said offending a gentleman over a villain was better. Villains would hold grudges and use the darkest methods to get revenge.
Alice had never been so terrified. She was completely drained of strength. This was not how things were supposed to go-not at all.
In her plan, Grace was the one who should have suffered this kind of degradation. There were a few homeless people in the alley who spotted the naked woman lying not far away. They exchanged glances.
“Get away, all of you! Trash like you has no right to touch me! When I get back, I’ll have you all killed!” she screeched.
Even in this desperate state, she couldn’t bring herself to show humility. Years of trampling over others had become second nature to her.
Alice kept crying. Then, she spotted a tall man stopping at a distance. He had an excellent physique and wore a silver mask, but his presence was commanding.
Her eyes lit up as she reached out her hand. “Help me! Please help me.”
The homeless people were also intimidated by the man’s intimidating presence, so they stopped in their tracks. But the man merely lit a cigarette casually, looking down as if he hadn’t seen anything.
Upon realizing he wouldn’t interfere, the homeless people quickly continued what they were doing. In the dim alley, the dirty scene continued to unfold.
Alice stared at the man who chose to ignore her, her chest heaving violently before she coughed up blood. She wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating, but the man seemed to have said mockingly, “What makes you think you deserve me?”
Her mind went blank as boundless hatred consumed her. Fury, despair, and more hatred kept tearing at her chest.
Everything that had happened to her was because of Grace, so she would never let Grace off for this. As long as she lived another day, she would make Grace pay!
