Chapter 141

At first David was shocked to find Joey with a sharp knife in her hand, but soon he laughed indifferently, “Joey, I know you very well. You’ve been a kind-hearted girl who wouldn’t step on an ant since you were a kid. How could it be possible that you will kill anyone?”

As he spoke, he kept trying to approach Joey.

Joey’s eyes were red with anger. She ground her teeth, “David, it’s the last time I’ll ever call your name. We'll be strangers from now on. It’s clear that you don’t know me quite well. I’m warning you, if you dare take one more step, I will hurt you, because it’s rape and I’m legally allowed to kill you in self-defense. I’m not going to jail for it and your death will be a notorious one. Your parents will be despised by others too. By the way, you’re the only child in your family. I’m afraid your death will hit your parents so hard that they might commit suicide right after you die.”

David eventually hesitated and stopped, not because of what she had said, but because of the look in her eyes at the moment. It was cold, determined, unflinching and mad.

He had never seen her so overwhelming before. He was scared.

Joey didn't relax after she had scared him off.

It was a long night and the door was locked from the outside. She had to until wait the next morning when Mrs. Linderman would come over to open the door and she would finally be out of danger. She knew very well that she had to hold the knife and stay alert while watching David the whole night.

However, she soon realized there was something with her body.

Her throat was dry. Her blood was boiling. Hot and flushed, she was getting weaker and weaker.

It felt so familiar, just like...the first time when she had been drugged on her first encounter with Allen in the hotel.

It was undoubtedly aphrodisiac again.

Joey suddenly recalled the bowl of herbal soup that her mother had handed to her back home...

“Mom...why are you so cruel?”

It was so painful that she couldn’t breathe.

It was her mother who would drug her own daughter to hook her up with a man.

She couldn’t believe it was real.

She was so resentful that she made up her mind not to trust her mother ever again.

When David found her flushing and breathing heavily, he asked with concern, “Joey, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s none of your business!”

She bit her lips and raised the knife in her hand, keeping staring at him with sharp eyes.

She would never cave in, even if she had been drugged.

However, Mrs. Linderman had used a drug way more effective than last time. After a few moments, she felt dizzy and insanely warm. Sweat broke out on her forehead and she soon started to sweat profusely.

But she clenched her teeth in silence.

“Are you...drugged?”

After all David had gathered information and figured out what was going on.

“So what?”

Joey sneered at the rekindled hope in his eyes, “Today...I won’t let you get away with that... even if I die!”

As she spoke, she raised the knife and cut her left arm so that she could stay sober in pain.

“You...you’re insane...”

She had cut her arm so hard that it started bleeding right away, which sent chills down his spine.

She suddenly burst into laughter. She’d rather have gone mad, if she could.

Her life had been miserable without Allen anyway.

She felt even worse than she had been when she caught Ben Hawk cheating on her with her sister.

She had expected to find some comfort in her parents, but there was nothing waiting for her at home but conspiracy.

Mrs. Linderman’s drug was too effective this time. Soon she was consumed with void and warm feelings all over again. It was killing her. She gradually lost control of her body.

With a groan she raised the knife to cut her arm again. The wound was deeper and the pain was excruciating. She sobered up a lot when blood was dripping down on the floor.
