No longer underestimating her, another man swiftly moved forward, grabbing Seraphina''s arm and twisting her shoulder back.
In the blink of an eye, Seraphina leaned back with the motion. Her other stiletto heel stomped hard on the brute''s foot. Her elbow jabbed fiercely, and she kicked him sharply in a very vulnerable spot as he staggered backward.
A scream tore through the dimly lit path, piercing through the silence of the night.
The three-on-one advantage had changed in a matter of minutes.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
Jennifer''s side was now at a disadvantage.
Only one man is left. Seraphina thought this one might be a bit more challenging.
Jennifer''s voice cut through the darkness, cold and devoid of any warmth.
"Are you all useless? Knock her out, then take her away. Do it quickly!"
The fact that Seraphina could fight had caught Jennifer off guard.
She was enraged-how could Seraphina hurt her, of all people?
Jennifer''s aura appeared to intensify.
Her earlier hesitation disappeared, reced by a burning desire for revenge.
Seraphina chuckled softly at Jennifer''s remark.
As she assessed the exit ahead, calcting her chances of making a quick escape...
A sudden burst of light illuminated the path. A soft yellow glow cut through the darkness.
With the once-shadowy path illuminated, everyone could now clearly see their surroundings.
The two brutes became guilty and panicked as they looked around nervously.
Jennifer merely frowned. There was a hint of surprise shing in her eyes.
Blood still clung to her face from where she had been hit, making her appearance even more disheveled. The next moment, three unexpected figures appeared at the entrance.
"Mr. Dros?"
Jennifer''s voice carried a note of shock, though she quickly regained herposure.
"You promised you wouldn''t interfere in my business with Seraphina. Are you going back on your word?"
Orion''s eyes slightly narrowed as he surveyed the scene. His expression was icy and dangerous. Standing tall in the light, his presence wasmanding, exuding an aura that demanded attention. 1/3

His thin lips parted, and his voice was as cold as the night air.
"Haven''t you gone too far, Jennifer?"
Lucius and Ken exchanged uneasy nces, watching the scene unfold with a mixture of shock and awe.
Seraphina stood her ground. Her posture was defensive, and her hair was slightly tousled, yet she remained every bit as regal and striking as ever.
She was still wearing one high heel, standing tall and dignified.
While her other foot was bare, she stood on tiptoe to keep her bnced.
In her hand, she clutched the other stiletto, its heel stained with blood.
Obviously, the blood wasn''t hers.
One of the brutes was leaning against the wall, clutching his injured lower region in agony.
The other was preparing to attack.
Lucius couldn''t help but twitched his lips and muttered from the side.
"Ms. Perez, did Seraphina just take out all your men by herself?"
Jennifer''s eyes were zing with fury, and her face was twisted with rage.
How could she, as the head of the Perez Group and a woman with significant power in go, consistently endure such disrespect?
She red at the remaining brute and asked, "What are you waiting for?"
The brute heard themand and took a step toward Seraphina. His expression was grim. He intended to knock her out and carry her off-it would be much simpler that way. The tension in the air was palpable; the scene was on the verge of an explosive confrontation.
Seraphina''s gaze swept over them. She was calm and defiant, but she silently clenched the high heel held tighter in her hand.
The chill in the air deepened.
His punch cut through the air, chilling as it ambushed Seraphina from behind. His left hand darted forward, ready to grab her shoulder and stop her before she could react. Lucius and Ken''s eyes widened in rm. They were just about to shout a warning.
In a blur, Orion suddenly showed up there. His movement was so swift that no one had noticed him approaching.
He struck the brute square in the stomach with such force that it appeared to snuff him out.
The brute copsed to the ground, barely breathing and unable to move.
