Chasing Back My Ex-wife

Lucy panted with some difficulty and drove her point home. "Ten million isn't a small sum. I'm sure this is enough to prove my place in Arthur's heart?"

She no longer had the strength to sit up. She could only brace her hands against the floor to keep herself upright. "He cares about me so much. If you guys record that kind of video, you're surely going to piss him off. When the time comes, even if I'm dead, he won't let you guys off the hook!"

Besides her disease, she thought a big shot like Arthur would surely be enough to scare them.

They were indeed hesitant. Getting ten million dollars was already a lot.

However, they couldn't bear to give up the five million dollars from Lizbeth.

After a long silence, Ron said, "Troy, tell your two buddies to come have some fun with her."

If they asked someone else to have s*x with that b*tch and film it, they wouldn't have to be infected with the disease or provoke Arthur. What's more, they could get the five million dollars!

After getting fifteen million dollars in total, he and Troy could forge new identities and live a good life!

Troy understood what Ron meant at once.

He was afraid that Lucy would make some noise and rouse the suspicion of his two friends, so he went outside to call them.

Lucy's heart sank. If two more men arrived, her chances of escaping would drop to zero.

Once the video was recorded and they received the five million dollars, they would definitely kill her and the other two men!

"It hurts...it hurts!" She curled up and clutched her stomach. She looked like she was in great pain.

Troy was still conning those two men, and Ron walked to her warily. He kicked her twice and said, "You'd better not be playing any tricks, b*tch!"

"It hurts...it hurts..." Lucy didn't explain what hurt but just kept saying it hurt. Actually, she wasn't lying, and she really was in great pain. She just hadn't voiced it out earlier.

Ron looked at the bald patch on her head, her bloodstained leg, and her swollen face. He didn't think she would be brave enough to lie anyway!

It would have been great if she had died because they wouldn't have to do it, but Byrd had said that they must record the video while she was alive. Even better, they should feed her some aphrodisiac to make her look willing!

He was very annoyed with Byrd, but he still bent down and asked, "Where does it hurt? If it won't kill you, then stop making noise!"

He had too much belly fat and squatting down felt very uncomfortable.

"It...it hurts..." Lucy's voice was much softer this time. After that, she fainted.

Worrying that the five million dollars would go down the drain, Ron quickly went to check if she was still breathing!

However, just as he leaned down and reached out towards her nose, Lucy suddenly opened her eyes and rammed her head into his.

Lucy didn't know how she got that burst of strength either. She crawled up with difficulty and ran towards the door as if she couldn't feel any pain...

Troy hadn't closed the door when he went out to make the phone call!

Ron fell to the ground in pain and bellowed, "Troy, stop that b*tch!"

How dare she kick his private part. She must really have a death wish!

Hearing his voice, Lucy knew that sh*t was going to hit the fan. Then, she saw Troy pick up a few bricks, and he threw them at her while running.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Three bricks flew at her and scared Lucy out of her wits.

She looked back at a brick that had brushed her hair and saw another brick flying right at her head.

"Move!" A hoarse voice called out, and she landed in a familiar embrace. Meanwhile, the brick was kicked out of the way.

Arthur's creased shirt, the smell of his sweat, his bloodshot eyes, his prickly stubble, and his handsome face that seemed to have aged a lot in that short period suddenly made Lucy feel like crying.

"I'm here. You don't have to be afraid." Looking at her swollen face and the dark blood stains on her clothes, Arthur felt as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and it ached so much that he couldn't breathe.

It was all his fault. If he hadn't suddenly left her, she wouldn't have gone through so much misery!

"...Hmm." Lucy couldn't hold back her tears. The moment she nodded, tears flowed down her face.

Before he appeared, the person she hated the most was him.

But when he showed up, she suddenly felt as if...she wouldn't be afraid even if the sky collapsed!

"Dude, I'm warning you, don't be a busybody!" Troy picked up the brick that had broken into two parts. Veins bulged along his neck. "Let her go right now, or I'll kill...ahh!"

Arthur carried Lucy by the waist and kicked Troy in the stomach hard.

Troy stumbled to the ground and yelled while clutching his stomach, "How dare you hit me! Do you know that I am... ahh!"

"How dare someone like you," Arthur stepped on his head, his gaze filled with anger. "Lay a finger on her?"

On the last word, he kicked Troy again.
