Chapter 17

The next day, Manley calculated the time Estelle would come out of the alley after finishing her meal. He gave a subtle signal to the several bodyguards behind him and softly instructed, “Don’t hold back, guys! Show some real strength!”

The bodyguards, dressed as local youths, nodded to show they understood and walked deeper into the alley

Manley leaned against the wall and smoked for about ten minutes, thinking the timing was about right. He extinguished his cigarette and walked in casually.

There were more college students eating at this time, so his guys took Estelle to a secluded corner. They were separated by a few walls, so no sound could be heard.

He imagined Estelle disheveled, held down by several men, and at her most desperate moment, he would appear like a god.

Her eyes would be filled with twinkling stars, looking at him with gratitude and admiration.

In return for saving her life, she would offer herself and be devoted to him completely!

Manley imagined this, and a doof smile spread across his face.

As he got closer, he could hear the sounds of fighting and men groaning.

He was surprised to see an unexpected scene before him. The people being beaten on the ground were not Estelle, but his bodyguards. Their faces were bruised, and they lay on the ground, clutching their stomachs and moaning in pain.

Estelle had her hair in a ponytail, wearing a beige hoodie, her right foot stepping on a man’s chest, looking calm and collected. However, an icy aura surrounded from her, freezing the air around.

The bodyguards on the ground were battered and bruised, suffering from the beatings. Seeing Manley, they subconsciously begged, “Mr. Scott, save me!”

Manley’s face changed instantly as Estelle’s icy gaze fell on him, filled with lethal intent.

Startled, Manley turned and ran, only to feel a gust of wind behind him as his shoulder was grabbed. Next, hel was lifted off the ground, spinning 360 degrees, and crashing heavily onto the floor!

“Damn!”

Manley’s eyes bursting with golden stars.

A dazzling sight, just like he imagined.
