A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1558

Slap! Gabriella gave the man a hard slap.

“Have you no shame?”

Furious from Gabriella's slap, the man raised his hand to return the slap. The force of it sent her falling toward the ground.

“Since you won't appreciate my kindness, I'll do it myself. It's the same at the end of the day, a ny way.

The man then lifted Gabriella to place her on the office desk, about to tear her clothes away.

“No! Don't! Let go of me! Help!”

Gabriella flew into a panic. When she looked at the disgusting man who nauseated her, she felt as if she had been plunged straight into hell.

Gabriella flung her hands around in desperation, but she could fight against the man's strength. Right as desolation was about to overtake her heart, she abruptly touched something solid. It was an ashtray.

Suddenly finding strength in her arms, Gabriella then smashed the ashtray onto the man's head.

“Ah!”

With a shriek, the man collapsed onto the ground with his hands holding onto his head.

Gabriella stared at the man in agony for a few moments. Blood was gushing past his fingers and down his face. She was terrified. It took her a few moments before she recollected herself enough to think about escaping. The moment she did, she stumbled her way out of the office.

The entire way back to her rented villa, Gabriella could hear her rapid heartbeats in her ear. Only when she stepped into the safety of her house, then could she finally calm down. Recalling what had just happened, she thought, That man should be fine. He's only bleeding badly because it's a head wound. His life won't be in any danger. With those thoughts, Gabriella's heart returned to her chest from her throat.

However, she still had not found a job yet. She was a talentless person in this complicated and tough society; she was worse than an ordinary person. It seemed like selling her looks was the only way for her to make a living.

However, Gabriella's ego refused to let her do that. No matter what happened, she was once the daughter of the Wards; she would not let herself become the plaything of others.
