"Are you trying to get help? Do you even know who you just hit? It's useless for you to call anyone!" The manager gripped Lara's hand tightly.
Lara wept helplessly. "I, I..."
Yes, she was in the Champ family's domain. If she called Chuck for help, she might get him into trouble instead. "I shouldn't do this," she thought in despair.
How could she have encountered such an unfortunate incident?
Whack!
The manager slapped her right across the face. The next second, her mouth was already full of blood.
Lara burst into tears once again.
"You better make sure that he'll be fine. Otherwise, you and your family will not get away from this!" the manager warned her coldly.
The man was from the Champ family!
The consequences of killing a Champ family member were unimaginable.
Not to mention she was still trying to call someone else over for help. Who in their right mind would dare to come over?
"I..." Lara was extremely hopeless.
"Hold her tight! How is Mr. Champ?" The manager walked over to the bleeding man. Lara had hit him so hard that his head was dented. He had lost too much blood!
If something had happened, he couldn't absolve himself from the blame!
"I'm afraid there's something wrong," the doctor said seriously.
The manager became furious as he thought about it. He turned around and pointed at Lara. "Have you lost your mind? It's the utmost privilege to sleep with Mr. Champ. How dare you even refuse?"
With the burning anger, he couldn't control himself anymore and raised his hand to hit Lara again.
Lara was dumbstruck by the strong slaps.
"Why on earth are you still trying to call someone for help?" the manager roared.
Just as Lara was about to lose her last glimpse of hope, her phone rang. In fact, she had just dialed Chuck's number but he didn't answer until now. His voice rang, "Hello, what's the matter?"
Chuck didn't want to pick it up at first. However, he thought about how Lara had always sent him coffee in school. It seemed to him that Lara had become a little better. He didn't dislike her as much as before. In addition, Chuck had been ignoring her all the time. Her sudden call might imply something urgent.
Thus, when Chuck had finally decided to answer the phone, he was genuinely confused as he heard the loud slaps. What could Lara be doing? Was she trying to show off herself with another man?
As soon as Lara heard Chuck's voice, she burst into tears again and exclaimed, "Chuck, you have to help me..."
"What happened? Tell me." Chuck immediately realized that the slapping sounds he heard just now were Lara getting hit. What was going on?
"I hit someone." Lara was crying very hard.
"Hit someone? Why would you do that?" Chuck was surprised. Lara had always had a bad mouth. It was normal for her to pick fights with others.
Yet, to hear her beaten to the point of crying, Chuck almost wanted to laugh. He wondered, "Is she trying to get my attention?"
"I hit..." Lara began but was cut off.
"Humph, she hit someone of the Champ family!" the manager said coldly.
The manager was puzzled as to why the person, Chuck, on the line would call right away. He thought this person would pee his pants when he heard the mention of the Champ family.
"The Champ family?" It was Chuck's turn to be surprised. Why would Lara fight with someone from the Champ family?
Lara was in despair and she sobbed bitterly.
"What's going on?" Chuck thought it was better to ask.
"That person was going to harass me. When I refused, he hit me. So I hit him instead and he's bleeding badly now. Chuck, I'm so scared," Lara explained as she continued shedding tears.
She was truly petrified. It was no ordinary family. The Champ family was one of the Four Greatest Households! Who could save her this time?
Meanwhile, Chuck was dumbfounded. How could she be targeted by someone from the Champ family? Nonetheless, the young and beautiful Lara had always been attractive in the eyes of others. Chuck had used to have feelings for her at one point in time, but the feeling was gone now.
"Chuck, can you save me? I'm scared... If you can't, thank you anyway," Lara asked weakly as she choked on her sobs.
Chuck was certainly not powerful enough to fight the Champ family. She felt more than grateful already for the fact that he did not hang up after hearing her situation.
"Where are you?" Feeling pitiful as he heard her weeping, Chuck asked. This was not entirely Lara's fault, he thought.
"I'm..." Lara said.
"She's in the Black Spade Hotel in Central City! But do you dare to come here, boy?" Just then, the manager mocked him.
The manager thought haughtily, "This punk must be so scared that his pants are drenched in pee. Would he ever come over?"
"Chuck, don't come over, I..." Lara cried some more. It was useless. If Chuck came, he would only get himself into trouble.
