“Boys, let’s grab everything from her.”
“Her car and all her luxury items were bought with our money. Let’s grab them and sell them for our wages.”
“With such a terrible boss, we need to teach her a lesson.”
Johnathan got anxious upon seeing that.
If the crowd turned violent, their relationship with the new boss would be in tatters. The new boss could then choose not to pay them, and they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
In fact, they may even face criminal charges.
He bellowed immediately, “Calm down! Calm down! Don’t do anything rash.”
“If we harm her, we definitely won’t be able to get our wages. We might even get arrested too!”
However, his words fell upon deaf ears as the eight employees were mad beyond reason.
The other employees began to follow blindly.
Not being able to control the eight men, Johnathan tried to restrain the rest. “Calm down, calm down. We must not harm anyone.”
“As a boss, she definitely have connections with government officials. If she files a police report, it’ll be too late for us then.”
With that, the majority of the employees were placated.
However, the eight men who had rushed out earlier became even more agitated.
They split themselves into two groups. One group headed towards the luxury car and started to smash Susan’s car with bricks and sticks.
While another group went straight for Susan.
Their eyes were filled with wicked thoughts as they looked at her.
She was fair and pretty with a sexy figure. The epitome of a rich beautiful lady.
They were going to take advantage of Susan under the pretext of grabbing her luxury accessories. It was too good of an opportunity to miss.
The blond man who led the group drew a metal pipe from his sleeve and brandished it in the air.
Jacob’s bodyguards readied themselves to rescue Susan.
However, Jacob stopped them. “Don’t get involved.”
They then had no choice but to stand down.
When she saw the big and shiny pipe, Susan feared for her life. Subconsciously, she stepped back and managed to avoid the blondie’s first attack by luck.
She bellowed, “Listen to me, it’s not what you think. Jacob is the one that’s sowing discord among us.”
Her pleas fell on deaf ears as the blondie and his subordinates surrounded her.
Raising his metal pipe again, blondie swung it towards Susan.
As she was now surrounded, there was no avenue for escape. All she could do was close her eyes in despair and wait for the impact.
At that moment, she felt as if all was lost.
I’m just a girl who’s still a bit wet behind the ears. How am I supposed to carry such a huge burden?
At such a crucial moment, I don’t even have someone to protect me.
I don’t even know if anyone will visit me at the hospital after this beating.
It really is difficult being alone.
Clang!
A clash between metals was heard.
However, Susan didn’t feel any pain.
When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see a muscular arm had shielded her from the metal pipe.
The metal pipe which was as thick as a baby’s arm was bent instead.
Her eyes moved along the arm to see who it belonged to.
When she saw the owner of the arm, her eyes stung, and tears started rolling down endlessly.
It was Mr. Williams.
Zeke is here to save me!
In order to protect me, he shielded me with his arm without any regard for his own safety.
At that moment, her heart melted for him.
Then, as if she thought of something, she pushed blondie aside and hugged Zeke’s arm.
“Mr. Williams, is your arm alright? Come, let me take you to the hospital to get it checked.”
As the metal pipe was dented, Zeke’s arm must at least have a fracture in it.
However, Zeke reassured her. “Susan, I’m fine.”
Huh?
When Susan checked Zeke’s arm, she realized that there wasn’t even a scratch on him.
Mr. Williams is really hard like a rock!
The moment the thought crossed her mind, she blushed.
