CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1587

The man lunged forward, grabbing Jamie’s wrist before she could fully evade him. Pain shot through her arm as his grip tightened.

“What do you think you’re doing?” she demanded, her other hand clutching her phone as she frantically dialed for help.

But the man had anticipated her move. He snatched the phone from her hand and slammed it to the ground with a loud crack.

“Go ahead, try calling the cops now,” he sneered, his voice dripping with menace.

Not far away, the assistant witnessed the entire scene. Panicked, he shouted, “Jamie, hold on! I’m coming!”

“Don’t come over!” Jamie yelled back sharply, stopping him in his tracks.

She was already surrounded. The last thing she wanted was to drag someone else into this dangerous situation.

The assistant froze, torn between his urge to help and her firm warning. He could do nothing but pace nervously like a trapped animal, his anxiety palpable.

The man, noticing Jamie’s interaction with the assistant, narrowed his eyes and smirked. “So, you’re with Lucas Corporation, huh? Makes sense. I figured you were one of their people. And Ben himself sent you? A pretty face like yours… he must not care what happens to you.”

His words were met with laughter from the mob, their jeers filled with vile amusement.

Jamie remained calm, her voice steady. “So, you know Ben?”

Despite the throbbing pain in her wrist, she stayed focused. If they knew Ben, it confirmed her suspicion that this wasn’t a random incident. It was a deliberate attack against Lucas Corporation. What she still didn’t know was who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The man’s expression darkened, and his grip on her wrist tightened further. “Oh, so you’re trying to get me to talk, huh?”

Though her attempt to extract information failed, Jamie wasn’t discouraged. With her free hand, she quickly reached into her bag and pulled out a can of pepper spray. In one swift motion, she aimed and sprayed directly into the man’s eyes.

He let out a bloodcurdling scream, releasing her wrist as he stumbled back, clawing at his face.

Blinded and furious, he yelled, “You stupid woman! When I catch you, you’re dead!”

But Jamie didn’t stick around. Like a slippery eel, she darted away, sprinting toward the car.
