Her Majesty novel Chapter 42

The car came to a screeching halt.

Sabina hit me in the chest with one elbow. I only felt a numbness on the body, and then a cold hand grasped my throat, like iron pincers pinching me breathless.

I had to let go of my hand. Sabina, who had always been expressionless, flushed. She jumped on the cover of the car, grabbed my collar, pulled me out of the car and punched me in the stomach.

I immediately grabbed my stomach and ran aside to vomit.

The wine emptied, the cold wind blew, and I recovered some sense of mind. I turned my head and found Sabina was slowly coming towards me holding a terrible knife.

The cold sweat came out, I waved hands and kept explaining, “Don't come over, don't come over, I was drunk, Sorry, I am sorry."

Sabina almost rushed to my front in a moment, the sharp knife had been put on my neck, and a gentle pull would make me a corpse.

However, Sabina did not move but looked at me coldly, suddenly burst out a word, “You love that woman very much. Spare your life.”

Then she lifted her left hand and cut hard on my neck, my eyes felt black, and then I felt to the ground.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the next morning, I rubbed my neck, climbed up and walked outside. I found Ben was playing cards with a few friends.

He smiled at me and said, "You wake up, Justin. How did the conversation go last night?"

At the thought of the negotiations last night, I felt upset. I waved at Ben and said, “Come to my room, I will tell you."

I told things happened last night to Ben. Ben suddenly frowned. When I said I agreed to release Housin, he suddenly stood up, bulging eyes, he asked me, “Are you crazy, you release Grace’s enemy. Don't you want to give her revenge?"

I distressed, grabbed my hair and said, “I have no way out. If I did not agree to release Housin, there would be a negotiation. That was their purpose. What could I do?

Ben was angry, kicked on the wall, pointed at my nose and asked, “So you betrayed Grace just for money?"

I did not know why I had not been as painful as last night. I said to Ben calmly, “I certainly will not let go of Housin this bastard, including John, I will not let go. But now we have to hold our ground here and when we are stronger than them. I will make sure that both of them pay us back with interest."

Ben turned a few circles in front of me out of fidgety, huffed and said, “Well, I believe you. Anyway you will always be my friend. I support all your decisions."

A warm current was in my heart, I looked up and said sincerely, “Thank you."

Ben waved his hand and walked out. But I dug out from under the pillow a picture of Grace. I had a tearing drop on it.

Two days later, I received a phone call from the mayor's secretary, who said that Mayor Chang would like to invite me to dinner at his home this afternoon.
