Chapter 253
The reason the bus came to a screeching halt was because of the black car.
Catelyn's eyes followed the driver's direction, only to find that the black car had slowly left her vision and turned into a small, black dot.
However, her mind decided to play tricks on her as a handsome figure flashed through her mind out of nowhere. She shook the image off, however.
She must have lost her mind. Why would Cedrick be there? He must have gone home already.
Catelyn arrived at her station after a short while, but the rain was relentless, still. Since she did not have an umbrella with her, she decided to wait it out at the bus stop. No one was in sight as it was already late into the night.
The street light shone dimly under the rain, and the sky was darker than usual.
Catelyn shuddered under the gust of cold wind.
Not long after, the rain slowly dispersed, and just as she was about to walk back home...
"Tsk! Look who it is," rang a sinister male voice from behind her.
Catelyn turned around to find a man walking out from behind the bus stop's advertisement sign board.
It was the perverted man from the bus earlier!
The man's lips stretched into a deviant sneer.
Catelyn looked at her surroundings. Noting that it was still quiet and empty all around her, she ignored him and turned to walk away from the bus stop.
There was a mall just a short distance away, and she would be safe there—
All of a sudden, she felt a hand grab her shoulder. The man walking toward her tossed her onto a nearby sign board with brute force.
Thud! Catelyn's back landed harshly on the sign board.
She glared at the man and hissed, "What do you think you're doing?"
"What else could I be doing at this hour? Aren't you all strong and brave on the bus earlier? Come on then!" The man smiled and exposed his tinted teeth stained by cigarette and tea. Catelyn was so repulsed that she almost vomited her dinner from last night.
"F*ckoff!" growled Catelyn.
With the downpour still as merciless, she acted impulsively as she struck the man across the face.
"If you so much as lay a finger on me, I'll make sure you suffer! Now f*ckoff!"
The man's head swung to the side due to the impact of Catelyn's slap. He had been slapped twice at this point, including the one from earlier on the bus. Both landed on the left side of his face, leaving a dark crimson palm print on it.
