You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Surrounded In The Streets

“No problem!” Everyone in the room was raring to go.

Arissa was very happy with the response. “Christian, please note down the names of those who intend to participate. We’ll still need to recruit new talents for this mission.”

“Noted, Ms. York!”

Arissa also reminded everyone, “Anything to do with this project is to be kept private and confidential.”

“Understood!” everyone in the room agreed.

Nodding, Arissa responded, “Get back to work!”

After Arissa returned to her office, she was buried with work until after working hours. That was when she realized that the kids were still at school. She slapped her own forehead and phoned Bradley straightaway to help her fetch the children from school.

Half an hour later, Bradley called and told Arissa that the kids were already picked up. Knowing that her kids were being taken care of, she continued to work overtime till eight o’clock.

When Arissa was on her way home, two cars came out of nowhere and trapped her in between. She was forced to stop her car by the road.

She then saw a gang of thugs exiting their cars and they were heading toward her. They were all armed with bats.

Arissa instinctively took out her pepper spray from her purse.

One of the thugs came at her and broke her car window. He then opened her door forcefully.

When the thug tried to grab her by her arm, Arissa reacted swiftly and kicked him out of her way. She then got out of the car and used her pepper spray on another thug who was charging at her. While he was temporarily blinded, she snatched away his bat and smashed it into his head.

In the blink of an eye, Arissa managed to take out two of them on her own. Evidently, the thugs weren’t aware of the fact that she practiced martial arts. Hence, they didn’t see this coming.

Suddenly, more than ten of them charged at Arissa at once. She was surrounded.

Fortunately for Arissa, Ethen was driving Benjamin past the area and he noticed the incident. Despite the chaotic scene, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Upon a closer look, he spotted Arissa and stopped the car abruptly.

“What’s wrong with you?” Benjamin yelled as the abrupt stop caught him by surprise.

“Mr. Graham, isn’t that Ms. York?” Benjamin blurted as he was pointing at the commotion by the street.

Benjamin glanced toward the fight and saw that Arissa was surrounded by a gang of thugs. His eyes widened and he rushed out of the car to help her.
