She had only managed several steps before she was apprehended by the man who reeked of cigarettes. He jerked her backward forcefully and slammed her into the car. Before she could regain her balance, the man pinned her against the car.
She began swinging at the man haphazardly with her high heels to no avail since it was quickly snatched out of her hands. Left without a weapon, she resorted to jabbing her knee upward as hard as she could.
“Ugh!”
The man let out a muffled grunt.
Suddenly, Camryn felt his weight lifted off her body.
She must have kneed the man right in the groin.
She took advantage of the opening and rolled sideways to wring herself free from the man. Then, she picked herself off the ground and began running again.
The nasty man who reeked of cigarettes was still doubling over. It was going to take him a while to recover from being kicked right in the groin.
They were in the middle of nowhere with not a soul in sight. This was by design since he had arranged to have Camryn brought here where there was nobody around. The Newmans‘
bodyguard who was responsible for transporting Camryn to the appointed destination had left without a word after he dropped her off.
Everything had gone just as the man had planned.
He was worried that the Newmans would take video evidence of his vileness and use it to blackmail him to work for them.
This was why he requested the bodyguard to leave immediately after dropping off Camryn.
A few minutes passed, and he finally rose to his feet. Camryn had already run off more than a hundred meters by now but she was not out of the woods yet. Due to her blindness and the fact that she was in a completely unfamiliar place, she had a lot of trouble wading through her surroundings and would bump into tree trunks occasionally.
She assumed that she was in the middle of a park.
The dangerous man began chasing after her.
Being the degenerate that he was, the blind girl’s constant resistance had only excited him further. He knew she could not get away from him even if she had a ten–minute head start. Besides, she had gone in the wrong direction from the very beginning. She was now running further downhill into the woods, into a completely uninhabited area.
There was a gazebo nearby. He told himself that after he caught her, he would bring her to this. gazebo and do it right here…
He smiled devilishly and relished at the idea.
His groin was still stinging with pain after she kicked him. No matter, he would show her who was boss…
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a roaring engine.
He jerked his head toward the direction he heard the sound coming from and immediately spotted a car heading toward him at breakneck speed.
Who could this be? Nobody was supposed to be here!
He was upset at having been interrupted by an outsider but immediately composed himself. He promptly dove into a thicket of bushes nearby and used it as camouflage, then he began running back to where he came from.
It was Callum who arrived at the scene.
He had seen the degenerate trying to take advantage of Camryn inside the car and was furious. He wanted to press down on the gas pedal as hard as he could and run over the perverted scum.
Upon noticing the degenerate’s quick reactions, he promptly hit the brakes. It appeared that the man wanted to flee from the scene to avoid having his identity exposed.
After he parked the car, he flung the door open and jumped out brazenly. His first objective was to catch up with the scoundrel.
The degenerate scrambled on his feet and began charging toward the car which the bodyguard had left behind. He crawled into the car and fumbled around trying to start the engine.
It was unfortunate that his opponent was Callum.
Old Mrs. York had always had high standards for her heirs and demanded that they not only excel in the domain of intellect but physicality as well.
All of the men of the family were well–trained in martial arts.
They made sure to exercise regularly and could ace a hundred–meter–sprint considerably faster than the average adult male.
The degenerate barely had time to close the door before Callum caught up to him and swung the door open. He wasted no time and immediately grabbed the rascal’s arm to toss him out of the
The man turned around and swung a fist aimed at Callum’s face.
Callum dodged and countered with a punch of his own. The man jerked his head to the side and barely managed to avoid the hit.
It was very cramped inside the car, which greatly limited the man’s range of movement. Despite his best attempt to fight Callum off, it was going to be a downhill battle no matter what since he was sitting while Callum was standing.
Callum was driven by rage and completely relentless.
Several minutes later, Callum gave the degenerate a terrific beatdown. After ensuring that there would not be any further resistance, he dragged the man out of the car. He threw him to the ground so he could take a closer look at the man with the help of the streetlights.
The degenerate’s face had been completely pummeled to a point that he was unrecognizable. His face was swollen and his nose was broken. The only clue Callum was able to decipher was that the man was in his forties to fifties.
“How dare you hurt Camryn. I’ll kill you!”
Callum jabbed a kick at the degenerate and roared sharply, “Camryn is my sister–in–law’s friend, messing with her means you’re messing with my family!”
The man did not utter a word.
He had barely said a word since the beginning of their confrontation.
Callum went and plucked the keys out of the ignition, then he slammed the door shut to prevent the man from escaping.
After that, he took out his phone to take a picture of his face. That way, even if the scum somehow managed to get away, he would still have photographic evidence that he could hand to Josh to figure out who this person was.
After taking a clear picture, he kicked the scum again before running off in the direction Camryn was last seen.
Camryn ran desperately, as fast as her legs could take her. She had no idea which way she was running at all but she continued to run. Her only concern was to get as far away as possible.
When she eventually heard the sound of someone else pursuing her, her initial thought was that the dangerous man had caught up to her. She picked up her speed again and ended up tripping over a tree trunk and tumbled to the ground.
She scrambled on the ground and opened her eyes as wide as she could to make out her surroundings.
It was no help–her vision was blurred and everything around her swayed around like a mirage. She saw double everywhere she turned. The more she tried to force herself to see, the more her head ached.
“Camryn!”
She heard a familiar cry.
She had just risen to her feet when she heard the cry. She immediately recognized the voice. It was the unmistakable voice of Callum York.
Why was he here?
“Camryn.”
Callum finally caught up to her and was immediately relieved to see that although she was in an awful state with no shoes on, she was not hurt in any way.
“Mr. Callum?”
“It’s me.”
“Why are you here?”
Callum reached out and gently tapped her. He spoke gently, “I told you that I was going to send you home but you refused. My sister–in–law had specifically instructed me to send you home tonight so I got worried and decided to follow the bodyguard’s car. I figured I should at least ensure that you reached home safely.”
“I have a pocket knife on me,” Camryn muttered.
“What difference does it make if you have a hidden knife? If you can’t even see, that guy is just going to grab the knife and throw it away as soon as he sees it. Even if he doesn’t manage to do that, how are you going to get him when you can’t see? Are you going to swing it wildly and pray for a miracle?”
