The axe wasn’t large, but it was sharp.

She spun around on the spot, hefting the axe, and charged back.

“You fucking dare to touch Ann, just try!”

She forgot what fear was. All that remained was the determination to eliminate the threat, even at the cost of her life!

Her momentum carried the sound of the wind as she came at him with the axe raised.

Will, holding the long knife, paused. His twisted, manic brain produced a trace of instinctual fear.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Tatiana swung

Will subconsciously turned to run.

the axe.

The roles suddenly reversed. He became the one fleeing.

Seeing he couldn’t escape, Will hardened his heart, betting she wouldn’t dare to really strike. He slashed with the long knife. “Go to hell!”

Unfortunately, he had underestimated a mother’s bottom line.

A sharp weapon entered flesh.

A pained scream. “Ah!”

The half of his hand holding the knife was severed, falling to the ground.

Will clutched his hand, rolling on the ground in

agony.

Tatiana dropped the axe, picked up a fallen chair, and smashed it down again and again.

“You are not allowed to hurt my Ann!”

“You deserve to die!”

“Deserve to die!”

The person who had lost all reason now was her.

Intense terror blurred her vision. She only repeated the downward–smashing motion.

Until a pair of large hands gripped her wrists from behind.

“Tatiana! That’s enough.”

A familiar voice sounded by her ear, pulling her crumbling sanity back.

She was still mumbling, “Don’t hurt Ann.”

“Ann will be fine, I promise. Let go first, okay?”

She blinked. A drop of blood was splattered on her cheek. Her vacant eyes finally found focus.

She slowly made out the person who had arrived, her mouth opening and closing, arduously forcing out a few words: “Jasper…”

“Yes, it’s me. It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. Let go.”

She obediently released her grip.

He immediately tossed aside the blood–stained chair and hugged her tightly.

“It’s good that you’re okay. I’m sorry, I was late.”

Her mind finally cleared. The intense, delayed fear made her body tremble, held tightly within his embrace.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

Her nose stung, and her blood–stained hands were shaking violently. “Jasper.”

“I’m here.”

“Did I… did I kill him?”

She looked at the bloody, pulped figure she had smashed, trembling even harder, her voice laced with tears.

Jasper glanced over. “You didn’t kill him. He’s still got a breath left. You did well. Very well.”

It wasn’t worth taking a life for someone like this.

He had ten thousand ways to make his life a living hell.

Tatiana indeed hadn’t killed him.

Will, with one breath remaining, was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, narrowly

The entire company had witnessed the usually gentle and beautiful Tati’s ferocious side.

The surveillance footage from that day spread. They were all stunned by Tati’s tide–turning counter–attack.

If Tati hadn’t fought back at the end, who knows what kind of serious incident would have occurred!

Anna nearly cried her eyes out.

She hugged Tatiana tightly.

“Wuwuwu…”

Tatiana was helpless, comforting her as if she were a child. “Don’t cry. I’m not dead.”

“That was too dangerous! Don’t you ever do that again! If you had died, what would Ann do? Wuwuwu…”

“I won’t. Don’t imagine things.”

Even though she was still terrified herself, her calm and breezy expression successfully fooled Anna.

“But you were really amazing! That final counter–kill… I was so scared, but I couldn’t help cheering!”

It was just a little bloody.

That Will didn’t have a single patch of intact skin, even had several ribs broken, and was still hanging on in the ICU.

In comparison, Tatiana, who had only scraped her fingers from using excessive force, seemed incredibly brave!

Anna was now a complete and total idol–worshipper, like a star–chasing fangirl!
