Right Person, Wrong Time

Nicole's eyes darkened instantly, and she coldly warned, "Do you know who I am? If you lay a finger on me, both the Gardner and Wrenn Families won't spare you!"

Alas, her words fell on deaf ears as the thugs became even more brazen in their mockery at her warning.

"Hahaha, this chick is moments away from her demise, yet she still dares to act tough."

"Exactly! Look at her, all pampered and spoiled. Who cares about the empty threats from the Gardner and Wrenn Families? By the time we're done with her, there won't be a trace left to find!"

"Hahaha, she is quite an amusing one."

After they expressed their disdainful remarks, those men began to approach her.

One of them even reached out and caressed her face with a lecherous touch.

Nicole recoiled as though she had come into contact with something utterly repugnant. Her gaze locked onto the burly man before her, a fiery crimson intensity burning in her clear eyes.

Meanwhile, the man who had touched her face sighed in admiration as he remarked, "Tsk tsk, her skin is incredibly smooth and delicate. Clearly, she has been well cared for."

As his words hung in the air, his hands inched toward her collar.

Before Nicole could react, a ripping sound resonated through the air. Her collar was violently torn open, and a large expanse of her bare skin was exposed.

Instantly, her eyes turned a fiery red.

Although she was forced to endure countless trials over the years, she had always prided herself on her strength. However, as she was faced with this kind of situation, an unsettling sourness tingled in her nose.

A churn of discomfort gripped her stomach, and a wave of nausea coursed through her body.



With those words, the man eased up slightly. Then, he glared at Nicole maliciously and growled, "I can't wait to see what you're gonna do later!"

Nicole let out a sigh of relief, thankful that things had not taken a turn for the worse.

Then, she closed her eyes as she lay still in the van, preserving her energy. The exertion from earlier had left her head swirling in darkness. She took in shallow breaths as she knew that she needed to regain her strength soon if she were to stand any chance of making an escape later.

As she was also uncertain if Colton had received her message, she knew that his physical condition would hinder any immediate rescue.
