Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 23

No! She did not want to lose her pinky! Actually, she was afraid of the pain.

The gate of the dungeon was open suddenly. Several bodyguards walked ahead, and then Rufus walked in leisurely.

Seeing Rufus, Madeleine walked to him and her lovely face was filled with anxiety, “Rufus, please let Amelia go. She is my friend and she did not mean to do that! Rufus, I’m fine. Would you please forgive Amelia this time?”

“Sweetheart, I said that those who hurt you must pay the price!”

Rufus turned around and stared at Amelia coldly. His handsome face covered with chill was kind of frightening.

Rufus’s lips were thicker than Lawrence’s. Amelia once heard Sapphire say the man with such lips was generous. Amelia once thought Rufus was a gentleman with a generous character, but after their reunion, she realized that a man, who did not care about you, was ruthless and cruel even though he had a generous face.

“Amelia, why did you hurt my Sweetheart’s hand?”

“I didn’t!” Coming back to her senses, Amelia explained hurriedly, “Rufus, I have no idea what you are talking about! I went back home after I left the underground garage tonight. How could I hurt her hand?”

“Madeleine, I didn’t hurt you at all. Why do you frame me like this?”

“Amelia, don’t get me wrong. I did not do that. I did!” Madeleine was Lillian’s good friend and they were both good at pretending to be the victim.

She grabbed Rufus’s sleeve pitifully, “Rufus, please let Amelia go! I believe she didn’t do it on purpose! Please don’t please her!”

“She did not do it on purpose? She had you hand broken, how can you say she didn’t do it on purpose? Sweetheart, you are just too kind to make me grieved!”

“Kind?” Amelia was so angry about Rufus’s words that she was about to laugh, “Rufus, I always thought you were smart and wise. I didn’t expect that you are so stupid! Madeleine is setting me up. How could you say that she is kind?”

“Amelia, you are so unrepentant!” Rufus stared at Amelia with sharp eyes, “The people you employed have confessed. You hold a grudge against Madeleine for what happened in the garage, so you employed them to hurt my Sweetheart!”

“Amelia, you hurt my Sweetheart and your death cannot atone for the offence!”

“No, Rufus! Please don’t hurt Amelia! No matter what mistakes she has made, she is still my friend. Please don’t hurt her!” There were tears in Madeleine’s eyes, and it seemed she did actually care about Amelia.

Rufus held Madeleine’s hand tightly, “Sweetheart, she hurt you. I can’t spare her!”

“Rufus, please don’t kill her!” Madeleine knelt on the ground directly and begged with anxiety, “Please keep her alive. Since she hurt one of my finger, you just take one of hers, okay? Please just take her one finger!”

“Sweetheart, get up!”

Madeleine continued to kneel stubbornly on the ground, “Rufus, if you don’t promise me, I will keep on kneeling on the ground!”

Rufus sighed with tender and resignation, “Well, I promise you.”

Then he ordered coldly to the bodyguard, “Chop one of her fingers!”

“No!” Amelia struggled desperately, but two men pushed her shoulders down and she could not escape at all.

“Rufus, you can’t do this to me! You will be regretful when you regain your memory if you hurt me like this!”
