Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 718 How Dare You Slander My Fiance!

I sprinted while desperately screaming for help, but the motorcycle's roar drowned out my voice.

I had worn a pair of high heels to work today. It became apparent they were slowing me down. The footsteps behind me grew closer, and the motorcycle was already two lanes ahead of me.

Suddenly, a car sped in from the Section E entrance and maneuvered through the parking columns. It headed straight for the motorcycle. With no time for reaction, a loud bang echoed as the motorcyclist flew. The motorcycle then skidded across the floor.

I dared not stop running, and the car was agile. When I passed the car, it reversed and blocked the trio on the other side. Everything happened so suddenly. When I glanced behind me, the three assailants froze and watched in horror at the unfolding

scene.

The woman was unwilling to give up and attempted to continue pursuing me. However, one of the men pulled her back. Then, they turned and ran in the opposite direction, seemingly attempting to flee.

The driver executed a rapid U-turn and cut off their path. The car drifted and knocked the trio down. When the door passenger door swung open, Atlas appeared. Soon after, Dylan stepped out of the driver's seat.

I found myself sitting on the ground, gasping for air. I also noticed the motorcyclist had yet to get up. Afterward, another car drove in, and several bodyguards jumped out to pin down the trio who had assaulted me.

Atlas rushed to my side and knelt, urgently asking, "Are you hurt?"

I instinctively held my throbbing shoulder. Atlas narrowed his eyes and unbuttoned my blouse collar, revealing a scary bruise. He then lifted me off the ground and placed me somewhere safe to examine me, asking, “Do you have any other injuries?"

I quickly assured him, "No, nothing else."

I glanced toward the woman on the ground. Atlas's bodyguards had already pulled off her hat, revealing her orange hair. Her mask was still over her face. Although a bodyguard held her down, she managed to gaze at me maliciously.

I approached her and told the bodyguard, "Remove her mask."

The bodyguard yanked off the woman's mask, and I saw a heavily made-up face. I sneered, saying, "I thought so!"

I had guessed correctly. It was Madison, the one who had confronted me at the party.

"Chloe, things won't end well for you! Consider yourself lucky that I didn't kill you tonight. I won't give up as long as I'm alive!" Madison struggled as the bodyguard pressed her face against the ground.

"You must have a death wish!" Atlas glared at Madison, who continued her futile struggle.

She said, "She has deceived you, Atlas! She's just a slut who plays with men. She can seduce other men, but why did you let her fool you?"

Atlas responded sinisterly, "It seems the punishment for your family was too light. How dare you slander my fiance in my presence! Dylan, evict the Ballards from Foswood."

Madison's eyes widened with despair as she stared at Atlas. "No... You can't treat me this way, Mr. Atlas! You've already punished my family. You can't "

"You don't have the right to negotiate with me. You attack my fiance but still think you have a chance at mercy?!" Atlas roared, then picked me up and headed toward the car.

He turned and glanced at Dylan, adding, "If anyone from the family rebels, make them taste the consequences of Madison's actions."

Soon after, Dylan joined us in the car. As he turned the key to start it, I heard a horrifying scream.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
