noveldramaSmall World
How exactly is she going to handle it? Anger pulsed through Delilah. She’s just a girl. She doesn’t know
how to fight, nor does she have any self-defense skills. Besides getting bullied by them, what else can
she do?
“Ms. Young, please! Bring Lucius away now!”
Delilah’s heart wrenched at the sound of Joan’s pleas. Finally, she steeled herself and grabbed Lucius’
hand, heading directly to Joan’s car. Then, she started the engine and drove away from the pier.
Watching the car leave, Joan breathed out a sigh of relief. During the split second when she let her
guard down, several men dashed toward her and snatched the case out of her hands before restraining
her.
“I have to say, you’re very emotionally-driven.”
Of course, Joan merely shot him a glare without speaking.
“Stop right there!” Just when Joan was about to be taken away, Larry appeared.
Oh? Another person here to court death, I see. No. Not one, but two! The man narrowed his eyes at
Larry and Caspian, exuding a bitingly cold aura.
Isn’t that… Caspian clenched his fists all of a sudden, going into battle mode.
“Long time no see, Caspian,” rolling his shoulders, the man snarled.Yeah, it really has been a long time. Caspian sneered in response. He thought this man would never
come back again after going abroad. It seems like he was wrong. In the end, they met again under
such circumstances. Indeed, enemies were bound to meet.
“You two know each other?” Larry asked as he nudged Caspian beside him.
Caspian leaned closer to whisper, “He used to be a close friend, but later betrayed me.” Indeed, this
was a small world. No matter where a person went, past grudges would always come back to haunt
him.
“She’s innocent. Let her go!” Caspian shouted, his tone heavy with warning.
The man slowly approached Joan and surveyed her with a menacing glint in his eyes.
He abruptly landed two hard slaps on Joan’s face. In an instant, her cheeks turned red and swollen
with blood trickling down the corner of her mouth.
“What are you doing?” Shocked and furious, Larry exclaimed loudly.
“Don’t be rash, Larry!” Caspian held him back because he knew that the man was goading them into
doing something stupid.
Joan breathed through the pain and stared at the man in front of her with terror. At that moment, she
felt genuine fear slither into her heart.
The man turned to face Larry and Caspian with a hideous expression. Thumping his chest, he said
resolutely, “Sorry, but this woman is mine!”
He doesn’t even know Joan. Why would he give her trouble for no apparent reason? Caspian looked at
him quizzically. Unless someone hired him to do this?Could it be… Della?
Gabriella had already left the country. Other than Della, Caspian couldn’t think of anyone else who
would want to hurt Joan, and Larry had already come to this conclusion a long time ago.
“Let her go right now, or I won’t play nice anymore!” Larry fumed, but his anger stemmed from fear. The
thought of the woman he loved getting hurt terrified him.
Suddenly, the man bellowed with laughter, not at all bothered by Larry’s threat.
“Mr. Norton, is such a traitorous woman really worth it? From what I know, she didn’t just sleep with
you, she slept with Dustin Silverman and Caiden Owens too!”
Anger suddenly swelled in Joan and she used every bit of strength she had to kick the man’s leg.
“That’s not true!” she yelled furiously.
“What the f*ck!” The man got up from the ground and gave her two more slaps.
Not far away, Larry balled his fists as a murderous look flashed across his eyes. Sensing his killing
intent, Caspian gripped his arm tightly, afraid that he might do something he would regret later on.
Ding! Larry’s phone pinged just then.
Good. They’re here! Larry instantly relaxed, a cunning smile playing on his lips as he said, “Let her go. I
can give you as much money as you want, but if you don’t, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
