Chapter 278

? ? ? ? ?

Slash, slash... Nicole heard the sound of the knife cutting the meat.

With every insult Howe threw, Nicole drove the knife into Howe's legs.

Howe's screams filled the air.

Distracted, Nicole didn't notice Howe surreptitiously reaching for a remote control and pressing a button.

Beep! An alarm sounded.

Gritting his teeth in pain, Howe sneered, “Whore! Wait for my bodyguards to arrive. "You are finished."

He had pressed the alarm to call his bodyguards.

This villa, originally a gift from Jarrod to Jamie, had been cleverly transferred to Howe by Jamie.

Although Howe rarely visited this villa, he was always accompanied by two bodyguards, in anticipation of trouble due to his unpleasant activities.

Nicole's heart was pounding as she remembered that she had thought about running away, but she saw two muscular men at the door. That's why he had run upstairs.

Not wanting to waste time, Nicole quickly barricaded the door with the only chair in the room.

Soon, a persistent tapping echoed from the other side.

Howe had both legs stabbed, causing him to bleed profusely. Unable to stand, he shouted at the door: "Enough of the beating! Open it once and for all.

Nicole quickly gagged Howe with a rag.

Lying on the ground, Howe's moans filled the air as his wounds continued to bleed. His condition was pitiful.

Nicole picked up Howe's phone to ask for help. She was relieved to be able to make an emergency call without unlocking the phone.

With shaking hands, he gave his location to the police.

Their chalet, located along the river bank and away from the city, seemed isolated.

The operator tried to reassure Nicole, promising her that the police would arrive in thirty minutes.

Howe's phone vibrated again.

Jarrod's name flashed on the screen.

Startled, Nicole dropped the phone.

She muttered to herself: “Wicked men! "They are all evil."

Bang! The knocking on the door intensified.
