At the same time, Vicky raised her arm and smashed the rock she picked up earlier at Jonathan's head.
Baam! A sharp pain pierced through Jonathan's head, and blood scrolled down his face.
Over the years, Jonathan had abused his power with impunity and had never suffered such humiliation; being battered by a woman and left wounded was an intolerable disgrace for him.
Jonathan flew into a rage, raising his arm and slapping Vicky hard across the face.
Smack!
Vicky was knocked down to the ground by the blow, and her cheek immediately swelled up. Rendered powerless by the drug in the water handed to her by Aileen, she had used all her remaining strength in her last attack on Jonathan and she was already at her wit's end.
"You're just a wh*re. How dare you play hard to get with me?!" Furious, Jonathan proceeded to slap her a few more times.
The two young men who came with Jonathan said, "Jonathan, don't overdo it. If old George finds out, we'll all be in trouble."
Vicky was no ordinary woman, and her talent was broadly acknowledged. If others caught wind of it, the academy might do whatever it took to protect Vicky.
Jonathan calmed down slightly at their words. "It's not fun to do it here. Let's take her back to my place."
"But..."
The other two men exchanged hesitant looks. Their original plan was to force themselves on Vicky in the garden, before silencing her with some money.
The culture in Molivia had always been rather liberal, and these men were used to acting wilfully, so none of them was concerned about getting caught.
