Flushed in anger, Cassie could barely breathe. "How dare you?"
"Do you want to have a try?"
Emily grabbed Cassie's throat harder, and the air got dark immediately. Then Cassie was aware that Emily wasn't joking and that Emily was really going to kill her. At that moment, she realized what was the real fear, then she patted on Emily's hand with all her strength.
Emily relaxed her hand and asked, "What did you do to Charles?"
"Keke... I just slapped him. " Breathing hard, Cassie was not as arrogant as before.
"Well, you slapped him, then how are you going to pay me back?"
Emily reached out the other hand to stroke her cheeks and said, "Give me this face!"
As she spoke, she took out a folded dagger from her sleeve. She stole it from them when they got into the car just now. She didn't expect that the dagger would come in handy. The sharp dagger slashed at Cassie's delicate cheek.
"What are you doing?" Cassie shivered at the sight of the dagger.
"You know what? Charles cares about his face the most. I have never hit him since he was a child. How dare you hit him?"
Emily suddenly turned her wrist and made the sharp point of the dagger at Cassie's face. The dagger was now stained with blood, and a trail of blood was left on Cassie's face, which, of course, wasn't enough to disfigure her.
"Which part should we cut next?" Looking at Cassie's face up and down, Emily said in a calm tone as if Cassie was a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Emily.
Cassie was totally scared out of her wits. She had never seen such a scene before. The only thought Cassie had was that Emily was a monster in her mind now.
The kidnappers were shocked to see this scene. They had seen a lot of blood, but none of them had seen a woman as intimidating as the woman in front of them. They must not go forward. That was the conclusion they came to at this moment.
The cold dagger was pointing at Cassie's face again. With a slight smile on Emily's face, she didn't stop but looked at her. It was not until a figure appeared in front of the door that Cassie was struggling desperately as if she had found a life-saving straw.
"Brian, help me. This woman is crazy..."
That was what Brian saw when he came. The coldness and cruelty that Emily uttered was like a sharp knife that cut off anything that she couldn't bear. But it made Brian feel sorry for Emily when he saw her impassive look. He walked up to block the knife that Emily was putting down.
"What? You feel sorry for her?" Emily raised her head to look at Brian.
"It's not worth staining your hands. It makes Charles feel bad if he knows that."
Brian was telling the truth. Gazing at the dagger in her hand, Emily thought of Charles and stared at him for a few seconds.
"Do you know that Charles got hurt?" Emily's tone was so peaceful that people couldn't tell what it was, but it gave people a desolate feeling.
"Yes."
"Charles was not attracted by the system at all these days in Vincent's house. He was just recuperating, wasn't he?"
"Yes." Brian gave an affirmative answer.
"Ha ha, you are really hiding it from me."
Angrily, Emily threw the dagger on the ground and stuck in front of Brian.
"Cassie, don't let me see you again. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just destroying your face."
Without giving a glance at Brian, Emily drove away at full speed. Brian picked up the dagger in front of him. He could see that Emily was very angry. He could guess that now the place that Emily wanted to go most was the home of Vincent.
"I have given you a chance to prepare your retreat within 24 hours, but now it seems that you don't take it to heart. It's really disappointing."
Brian said without any emotions, but his words sent shivers down to Cassie. "Brian..."
"Do you know where the person who always goes against my bottom line is now?"
Brian's face looked a little similar to that of Emily's, which scared the hell out of Cassie.
"Brian, I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." Suddenly, it dawned on Cassie that she had made a huge mistake all this time. In her eyes, Brian was a little bit like Emily, and the man in front of her might be even more ruthless than Emily.
"I never give others the second chance. Cassie, you shouldn't have done that." Brian turned to the others standing there and asked, "What did she tell you?"
These people had heard of the reputation of Brian, but they didn't know who he was. But his arrogance intimidated them. "Miss Cassie asked us to bring Miss Emily here..." one of them said. The man said in a trembling voice.
"And then?"
