Chapter 128
Peggy screamed as her blouse was torn open, exposing her in fear.
Jeff licked his lips excitedly and slowly reached out to undo the rest of her buttons.
“Please, no!”
Peggy’s face turned further pale as she shook her head in desperation.
Her pleas only seemed to excite Jeff further, making his gaze burn intensely. He was determined to possess this captivating woman before him.
As Jeff’s hand drew nearer, Peggy closed her eyes in anguish and despair. She feared the worst was about to happen.
“Freeze, put your hands up!”
A stern female voice suddenly sounded from the stairway of the factory floor. The emptiness of the building amplified the command and created an echo. Jeff halted his actions. Peggy opened her eyes
and saw Lena, relieved and grateful for the rescue.
She remembered Lena had given her a mini tracker for her and Laura’s safety. Peggy hadn’t taken it seriously then, casually placing it in her uniform pocket without much thought. Now, that tracker had saved her life. With Lena’s presence, Peggy felt a surge of hope.
“Raise your hands now, or I’ll shoot!” Lena commanded again, noticing Jeff’s lack of response.
However, Jeff merely smirked sinisterly at Lena’s threats. Then, he slowly turned, his gaze slithering over Lena’s figure with unabashed scrutiny. He scanned the curves concealed by her camouflage uniform to her slender, toned legs.

Lena frowned and aimed a warning shot at Jeff’s leg to show how serious she was.
Anticipating her move, Jeff quickly used Peggy as a shield by pressing a sharp scalpel to her throat.
Lena’s eyes widened in shock as she realized Jeff’s agility matched hers.
She thought that the situation was going downhill.
“Heh,” Jeff taunted.

He looked up at Lena with amusement and asked, “What’s your next move, Colonel Bailey?”
Lena clenched her teeth. She was at a loss. Any attempt to shoot now risked harming Peggy.
