Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1553

I adjusted my breathing and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Although I asked this, my mind raced. "He's been back for some time now and has said too much... You've got to tell me, what exactly do you want to know?"

"Louis and Rory had a secret between them. What was it?" Kenzie said, her voice dripping with malice.

"They…" I deliberately gasped loudly, buying myself some time. I knew Atlas would come to rescue me. My priority was to protect my children.

"They... two of them had a... sizable sum of money..." Since that money was already in our hands, I thought it would be futile even if they knew.

Kenzie completely released her grip and then shoved my head forward abruptly. My body plunged forward, but quick reflexes saved me as I grabbed onto the front seat, steadying myself.

"What money? How much?" Kenzie seemed very interested.

"The amount is significant, but I don't know exactly." I played coy with her. After all, everyone was interested in money matters.

Of course, Kenzie wasn't easily fooled. Suddenly, something hard struck my head, and I felt my vision darken momentarily. Then, a warm sensation trickled down my neck. "Stop playing games, bitch! Do you think you have a chance of getting out today?"

A brief faintness left me disoriented, and my vision flashed with various images inexplicably.

In the haze, I reached out and pinched my leg hard, forcing myself to snap out of it. I feared losing consciousness would mean losing control over protecting my children.

I was furious. I snapped back, shouting, "Kenzie, if you lay a finger on me again, I'd rather not make it out today than let you have your way!"

She glared at me. "Speak. I'm talking about the project. Don't beat around the bush!" Kenzie barked at me.

The car suddenly swerved, and I lurched to the side.

On either side of me sat two menacing men. With the sudden movement, I fell onto the man on my left, who leered and took advantage, groping me.

I quickly got up, furious. "What are you doing?"
