Ashlyn curled her lips. “How can we possibly know the outcome if we don't give it a try?”
“You guys...” At that moment, Yuri's timid voice rang out.
All three of them turned to look at her at the same time. A flicker of hesitation flashed through her clear eyes. “Can I... Can I ask you guys to take me back to my father's house?”
Just as Ashlyn was about to respond, a series of harsh, pounding noises came from outside the door.
She furrowed her brows and looked over, only to see Spencer already at the door, asking in a deep voice, “Who's out there? That's not very polite.”
“Polite? Hand over Yuri to me!” a man snarled with a nasty tone. “How dare that b*tch run away? She's a real pain in the ass! I shall deal with her today!”
Upon hearing that all-too-familiar voice, akin to a nightmare, Yuri paled. She couldn't help but hold her daughter, Renae, tighter in her arms. “It's him! It's him!”
Her face was filled with terror as she let out a piercing scream.
Ashlyn raised an eyebrow. She didn't need to guess to know who the man outside the door was.
With a sneer, she gestured for Spencer to open the door. Just as Spencer raised his hand to do so, the door of the room was kicked open with a loud bang from the outside.
A man with a sharp chin and high cheekbones stormed in, accompanied by a few men dressed in black.
Every man looked fierce and menacing, glaring at Yuri who could only be at their mercy.
The man in the lead strode toward Yuri, seemingly ready to grab her hair. Terrified, Yuri covered her head with her hands and shrank into the corner of the couch.
Just then, a sudden wail echoed in the air.
What followed was a loud thud, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
The man with a sharp chin took a hard fall, landing face-first. The pain was so intense that he couldn't help but cry out.
