Chapter 284 Was She Your Plaything Before?,Coolest Girl in Town
Despite being in a stupor, Janice was still asking for help meekly. “Send me back. I don’t want to stay here. I don’t want to play anymore…” The man who was calling for her to chug earlier pulled her up. “Stop pretending; we barely even started yet. All of us have brought out our best collection of liquor, and you think you can leave just like that before we’re satisfied?” he said and grabbed the nearest glass of whisky before pouring it into Janice’s mouth roughly. Struggling in misery, Janice pressed her lips together tightly, and all the alcohol which couldn’t get in were spilled out, soaking her clothes as she whimpered weakly.
“Ugh!” Pathetic and helpless like a puppy that had fallen into the waters, she looked like she might suffocate any minute. Damn, how I hate this unreasonable empathy of mine, Elise thought. This bunch of a*sholes who treat women as playthings don’t even have the least respect for life at all. Forget it. I’ll just pretend that she’s a stranger to me. That way, I feel better if I help her. After struggling within herself, she finally decided to take Janice away. Just as she was about to open her mouth, a hand next to her reached out and grabbed the man’s hand which was pouring the drink.
As Alexander had already read her mind, he had acted before she did. “That’s enough.” “Who are you to stick your nose into this?” Jerking Alexander’s hand away, the man raised his fist and swung it with full force. The second before his fist landed on Alexander, the latter blocked it with his palm, wrapped his hand around the man’s fist, and gave it a strong twist. The sounds of dislocated bones echoed, and the man kneeled down in pain. “Ah! Jonah, save me! Jonah!” Hearing his cries, a person inside the VIP room sprang up and marched toward them.
Quickly, Alexander released his hand and kicked down the man who was pouring the whisky. With lightning speed, he caught Jonah’s fist, which was flying in his direction, and threw Jonah over his shoulder, tossing him into the VIP room opposite. Before Jonah could scramble to his feet, Alexander dashed forward and grabbed him by his throat. After struggling a little, Jonah wanted to stand up by propping up on the couch, but Alexander placed a foot on his chest and pushed him down. With only limited air, he could no longer exert his strength and gave up all resistance. Alexander was no stranger to Jonah, and even though the latter was beaten to the floor by Alexander, his tone was stubborn.
“It’s you again, Griffith. This is the second time you’re spoiling my plans today.” Instead of answering, Alexander cast a glance backward, scaring away the others in the VIP room who were waiting to strike with his dark, solemn eyes. “I don’t mean to interfere with your personal affairs, but I’m taking away that woman.” “What makes you think you can do that? I’m the one who brought her here. What, now? Was she your plaything before?” Jonah sneered, as though it could diminish the awkwardness that he was under Alexander’s foot now. Sweeping his eyes over him coldly, Alexander said, “Elise, take her and go first.” She gave him a nod and went to help Janice up before retreating back to the staircase.
After making sure that they were in a safe situation, Alexander released Jonah. Step by step, he walked backward as Jonah got up from the couch. Gritting his teeth, Jonah patted the spot Alexander stepped on earlier and glared fiercely at him, but when he saw Elise behind him, his expression broke into delight. Well, I found her without any effort at all. The lighting earlier was too dim, and Elise was standing too far away for him to catch a good look at her. Upon a second look, he felt that this woman was uglier than the picture on her student ID.
