Chapter 58
Trenton wasn’t clingy anymore. In fact, he seemed like he wanted Kristina to leave. Looking at Trenton’s tired face, Kristina figured she was overthinking things. He was probably just sleepy and wanted to hit the sack.
After a few more words, she headed to the bar where she often hung out with Yasmin.
Kristina ordered the priciest package and sincerely apologized, holding Yasmin’s hand. “Yasmin, it’s all my fault. I’ll take three shots as a punishment. Please forgive me.” With that, she downed three glasses of liquor in a row.
Yasmin wiped Kristina’s mouth with a napkin, then raised her glass. “Kristina, let’s forget the past. Men can go to hell. Our friendship is what matters most!” She hugged Kristina tight and downed her drink.
Meanwhile, Trenton had already gotten into Devin’s car. Both men looked serious. Devin asked, “How did this guy you mentioned mess with my girl?”
Without a word, Trenton handed his phone to Devin and showed him the video of Stanley trying to humiliate Kristina.
As the video played, the temperature in the car seemed to drop. Devin’s face darkened with anger, his veins bulging. “These arrogant punks actually dared to mess with my girl. They want to shoot a video, right? I’ll give them a scene.”
He slapped the driver’s seat. “Get me a few strong guys, now.”
“Yes!”
In the VIP room at Central Hospital, Stanley and Tessa were having a great time, Suddenly, several burly men burst in and surrounded the bed, their expressions strange.
Stanley was furious at the interruption and hit the call button, but nothing happened. No sound, no annoying music. “What are you doing? Hey, what are you doing!”
The men started dragging Stanley out of the bed. He was half–naked, and Tessa, almost completely undressed, screamed and grabbed the blanket to cover herself, forgetting about Stanley.
“Let me go! Do you know who I am? I’m the eldest son of the McClain family! You can’t mess with me!” Stanley’s leg, still not fully healed, throbbed with pain as he was dragged to the floor.
His threats didn’t faze the men. The leader sneered, his eyes lingering on Stanley’s lower part. “We’re looking for the eldest son of the McClain family.”
Seeing her boyfriend about to be dragged away, Tessa gritted her teeth and stepped forward. She wrapped herself in the blanket, stood in front of the door, and said bravely, “You can’t take my boyfriend! Let him go, or I’ll call the police!”
As she reached for her phone, one of the men kicked her, sending her flying. She screamed in pain, tumbling across the floor and crashing into the hallway wall.
The blanket fell off, revealing her bare skin. Tessa felt bones about to snap, and blood filled her mouth. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her front tooth came out with it.
Stanley, half–naked, was dragged away by the men. The hallway, usually patrolled by nurses, was eerily empty.
Tessa was in shock. She looked at her fallen tooth, touched her bloodied mouth, and hurried back to the room to get dressed. She needed that tooth back, or she’d look like a freak.
Stanley was gagged, his head covered, and thrown into the back of a truck.
