“Don’t hurt him! You just want the contract, don’t you? I promise to give you that as long as you don’t

threaten him!” I mustered my courage to grip his hand and look at his grim face. “Armond, I know you

only wanted the contract, so I will give it to you. Just please don’t hurt Ashton, okay?” I pleaded.

Right that instant, there was a sudden change in his expression. He laughed scornfully at me, “My, my,

Scarlett, you can only blame yourself for messing things up. Initially, it never crossed my mind to hurt you

or even using you to threaten Ashton. However, you’ve spoiled my mood, and now, I’ve changed my

mind.”

After that, he rose and opened the door of the cage. He stepped out and then picked up the phone on

the floor to hand it to me. Squinting his eyes, he said grimly, “Call Ashton now and ask him to pass the

contract to Linda. Do you get it?”

I cooled myself down, took the phone from him, and called Ashton. He answered my call almost

immediately.

Upon hearing his voice, my heart flinched because of the complex emotions. Suppressing my

uneasiness, I asked, “Ashton, where are you now? How are you? Is everything going on well?”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry, Don’t be afraid!” His deep, calming voice seemed to soothe my anxiety.

Nothing is more important than his safety! I would do anything, just so that he’s safe and sound…

Meanwhile, Armond was staring at me with a grim look on his face. He was waiting for me to bring up the

topic on the contract. Pursing my lips, I asked Ashton tactfully, “Ashton, do you still remember where I put

the sandalwood box from Grandma?”

On the other end of the line, Ashton seemed to be stunned for a moment before replying, “It’s at home.

Weren’t you always aware of that?”

I knitted my brows as I started to ponder. After that incident, he never talked about the contract. Hence, I

didn’t know where it was all this while! “Alright, I’m not at home right now, but I’ll get someone to go and

get it later. You take care over there! Come back only after getting your matters resolved, alright?”

He replied gently, “Alright. I’m almost done with it anyway. Anyway, are you okay with being alone for

now?”

Ignoring how Armond was staring at me, I pursed my lips and replied, “Yeah, I’m fine. I just kind of miss

you, but it’s alright… I’ll wait for you at home. Do come back soon!”

Before I could finish my words, Armond stretched out his arm to snatch the phone away from me.

Fortunately, I managed to dodge, so Ashton did not sense anything awry. He paused momentarily before

replying, “Alright. I miss you too!”

Glancing at Armond, who was looking intently at me, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey, I told

Ashton, “Take care of yourself. I’ll see you soon.”

He replied gently, “Alright, you too!”

After hanging up the phone, Armond snatched it from me instantly and smashed it onto the floor. I was

dumbfounded to see the phone shatter into pieces right in front of my eyes.

Nevertheless, I remained silent and tried to keep a cool head. He turned and glared at me with eyes that

were blazing with anger. The next moment, he dragged me from the floor and flung me onto the sofa.

Before I could react, he had pinned me down and started to run his hands all over my body, despite my

struggles.

As he continued to run his disgusting hands all over my body, I almost broke down. I growled at him,

“Armond, I’ve asked about the thing that you want. It’s at the villa. You can ask your men to go and get it

any time. So why are you still doing this to me, you b*stard?”

I tried to push him away by force and threw punches at him, yet he was not affected at all. It was as if he

was a robot without any sense of pain.

Seeing that he had totally lost his mind, I was panicked that the worst would befall me at any time. I

could not understand why he was treating me so roughly and domineeringly all of a sudden.

At that thought, I burst into tears and wailed helplessly “Armond, you b*stard! Let me go. I beg you!

Please let me go!” Nevertheless, he was not moved at all.

A surge of despair welled up from within me. At that very moment, I felt like ending my own life on the

spot so everything would come to an end.

Bang! In an instant, it was as if the heaviness above my body was being lifted. To my astonishment,

Armond’s body slanted to one side and fell onto the floor. Within such a short span of time, there was a

twist in the current situation.

He passed out and sprawled on the floor with his face down, like a lifeless body. Blood started to ooze

from the back of his head. I held my breath as I raised my head instinctively. Nora’s face turned pale as

she was standing motionless with something in her hand. I only realized that she had bashed him hard

on the head.

Everything happened in a flash, and it was just like a dream for me.

Clang! The bottle slipped from Nora’s hands and shattered into pieces on the floor. She looked at me in

bewilderment, then turned to look at Armond. Blood drained from her face as she stuttered, “I-I never

thought of rescuing you, I…”

I climbed up from the floor and grabbed hold of her, thinking of fleeing at once. Nevertheless, I froze in

my tracks when we were about to reach the main door. Spencer was blocking our way with a few

muscular bodyguards.
