The cake shop was located in a secluded area and was found by Bailey on a food app.
As there wasn’t any parking available nearby, both of them had to stop further away.
Thereafter, Christina and Bailey looked for the shop with the directions shown by the app.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was busy working in his office when Sebastian entered with Bailey’s biodata.
With an awkward expression, he reported, “Mr. Hadley, Bailey’s real name is Gabrielle Cook. She’s the youngest daughter of the Cook family and works as a voice actor.”
Everything sounded normal so far.
However, Sebastian hesitated before continuing, “It’s highlighted here that she likes women.”
A crack was heard when the pen in Nathaniel’s hand stopped moving.
The next moment, dark clouds seemed to gather in his eyes as he got to his feet.
“We’re heading out.”
Sebastian felt a chill down his spine. “Got it.”
When Christina and Bailey walked into an alley, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out behind them.
Turning around, they were greeted by the sight of a few men dressed like punks.
It was clear that they were nothing but neighborhood hoodlums.
The insidious looks in their eyes caused Christina’s heart to drop as she pulled Bailey behind her n reflex.
“They must have been sent here by Shelley. Leave now and call Mr. Hadley.” Staring at the approaching men, Bailey knew that neither of them could escape if both of them fled together.
However, Christina tightened her grip on Bailey’s hand. “They’re here for me. You should be the one to leave.”
The last thing she would do was flee and leave her friend behind.
The group’s leader snapped, “There’s no escape for you. Boys, attack!”
When his subordinates dashed forward to surround the girls, Bailey unleashed a kick at them.
Despite the difference in strength between genders, Bailey’s kick was extremely powerful. It forced one of the men to fall to his knees and drop the club he was holding.
Christing scrambled to pick it up before swinging it with all her might for the first time in her life.
In the midst of the chaos, a few black Maybachs burst into the scene and rammed the men to the ground.
Nathaniel’s appearance brought a hellish atmosphere to the surroundings.
Before the hoodlums realized what was going on, blows rained down upon them until the air was saturated with the stench of blood.

“Nathaniel, take Bailey to the hospital. She’s hurt!” Christina’s worried voice was on the brink of crying.
After glancing in Christina’s direction to make sure she was unhurt, Nathaniel replied, “All right.”
Christina subsequently helped Bailey into the car before all of them headed to the hospital.
Inside the emergency room, the doctor was treating Bailey’s wound.
When he applied antiseptic to it, Bailey hugged Christina while howling in pain. “It hurts! I’m not going to forgive those men. I want all of them arrested!”
The sympathetic Christina stroke Bailey’s head. “There, there. I know a cream that you can use so that it doesn’t leave a scar, so don’t worry about it.”
Bailey responded by nuzzling her face against Christina’s chest. “To have you apply medication for me is worth getting wounded for.”
Christina’s heart was warmed by the former’s words.
As Nathaniel watched how Bailey brazenly leaned into Christina’s arms, jealousy flashed across his eyes.
He didn’t want to see both of them being physically close to each other but had no choice on the account that Bailey was wounded while saving Christina.
Soon, the doctor finished bandaging Bailey’s wound.
Bailey leaned into Christina as if she couldn’t support herself. “Christina, please help me. Why don’t I‘ sleep with you tonight?”
-Sleep with her?
Nathaniel’s brows furrowed intensely. She clearly has ulterior motives!
