Juliette had just lain down when Samuel opened the door and entered the room.
He was dressed in black from top to toe, and he looked at Gwendolyn and Juliette with a cold, vicious
gaze.
“What do you want?” he asked.
Gwendolyn smiled at him. “Let's sit down and have a chat, Samuel.”
She mustered her courage to approach him and lead him to the bedside. Then, she spoke sweetly.
“Look, Samuel. I only have one million one hundred thousand with me right now. Is it fine if I return this
amount of money first?”
As soon as her words fell, Samuel's face darkened instantly.
“That's not possible,” he said.
After that, he was about to call someone in to take over the matter. Quickly, Gwendolyn ejected the
needle from her ring and hooked her arms around his neck. Next, she pressed the needle against his
skin.
“I'm sorry, Samuel. We can only let you take us outside,” she said.
Samuel was fuming with rage. He never expected the woman to be so cunning.
It was his first time getting outsmarted by a woman. He began to struggle.

ninety-nine types of snake venom. Your chances of survival are negligible if you get pricked by this
needle,” Gwendolyn said.
As soon as he heard her words, Samuel's face turned even darker. Still, he believed her and dared not
move a muscle.
“Gwendolyn, you...” Samuel was pissed. Moreover, he was terrified of the needle.
Gwendolyn's lips curled into a smirk. When she was forced into situations like this, she had to learn to
defend herself.
She had nobody else to support her and no family members to rely on. When such circumstances
occurred, there was no one she could turn to apart from the police.
However, Gwendolyn could not even call the police. Therefore, she could only depend upon herself.
“Juliette...” she called.
Juliette sat up immediately upon hearing her mother's voice. Then, she slid out of bed and tugged at
Gwendolyn's clothes.
Juliette pursed her lips and spoke bravely. “I'm not afraid, Gwen.”
Gwendolyn eyed her daughter and grinned at her happily. “You're wonderful, Juliette!”
Gwendolyn held Samuel hostage and walked out of the bedroom. When the rest of the people in the
living room saw them, they took out their guns.
The muzzles of the guns were pointed at them. Juliette's eyes flashed with fear, and her little hands
trembled.
Nevertheless, she did not cry. Instead, she grabbed Gwendolyn's military jacket tightly, fearing she
would be separated from her mother.
“Samuel...”
Seeing as everybody had raised their guns, Samuel growled, “Lower your guns and get a car ready. Be
quick!”
Andrea was stunned, too. At first, she thought Gwendolyn would attempt to seduce Samuel with her
beauty. Little did she expect the woman would use Samuel to threaten them.
In spite of this, she felt a sudden sense of admiration for Gwendolyn.
Although she was being watched by so many people, Gwendolyn was still bold enough to pull this feat
off and succeed.
She had even gotten the better of Samuel, who was the most intelligent member of the gang. Indeed,
she was no ordinary woman.

Soon, a phone call ensued, and they were told that a car was already parked downstairs.
Gwendolyn gave Samuel a nudge. “We're going out. The rest of you will stay inside.”
Juliette kept a tight grip on Gwendolyn's clothes. She followed the latter out of the creepy men's field of
vision and shut the door loudly.
“Gwen, are we safe now?” she asked.
Apart from this creepy man, the rest of the people were inside the building.
Children were often simple-minded. Juliette would no longer be afraid as long as she was safe.
Gwendolyn glanced at the padlock on the door. Earlier, she had told them to get it ready.
So, she kicked Samuel. “Lock the door.”
The man kept his attention on the needle against his neck, for he would get himself pricked with one
wrong move. As such, he was frightened.
Whenever Samuel tried to lean his head backward slightly, Gwendolyn would push the needle further
toward him. He frowned and yelled, “Get this d*mn needle away from me!”
His voice sounded like a roar, and it scared Juliette. She nearly lost her balance and fell. Thus, she
pouted angrily and said, “Poke him, Gwen! The creepy man is bad. He scared me.”
