Swoosh!
The cigarette butt traced an arc in the night sky before falling like a shooting star into the river.
The Scarface exhaled his last puff of smoke, shaking his head and taking a few steps forward. His face was full of disdain as he spoke, “Kevin killed your mother and got locked up, causing your family to fall apart from within.”
“You have no ability to save yourself, so you blame others for being despicable?”
“Rose, you’re just useless, with no luck or fortune like your father.”
“Listen to me and hand over the formula. Marry a rich guy already!”
At this point, the Scarface slapped his head and grinned insincerely.
“Oh! I forgot that you have scars on your face. Rich people won’t find you attractive!”
His subordinates burst into laughter.
“Boss, I don’t mind her looks. If rich people don’t want her, I can reluctantly take her in. Her mouth is pretty. She’ll definitely be good at serving at night!”
“I’m not picky either. Turn off the lights and it’s all good! Come with me Miss Sharp! Tonight I’ll make you come eight times haha…”
“It doesn’t matter if she has scars on her face. Everything below her neck is top-notch quality. Splash some essential oil on it and give it a push-up massage – it will feel heavenly! And these legs – I could play with them for three years straight!”
Their words were extremely vulgar as Rose’s strong expression showed signs of anger.
Her father had killed her mother and gone to jail while their relatives schemed against each other while colluding with the Swanson family to sell out their own interests…
Despite her utmost efforts and worries, she was still unable to save the company from ruin, resulting in her family being destroyed.
Now, when she wanted to revive the Sharp family with the Dragon Bone Pill formula, the Swanson family was closely following and she was enduring humiliation from thugs.
No matter how strong Rose was, she was still just a woman.
Looking around, there was no one to rely on, and she felt deeply hopeless.
However, after a moment, Rose grinned wickedly and said coldly, “A group of cowards who only dare to curse but not come over! Do you have the guts to come over?”
“Let’s die together, so I can also go down and find my mom!”
Her pretty face twisted, her beautiful eyes rolled up a frosty storm, and her expression was fierce with contempt.
“Damn it, stinky bitch!” The crowd was provoked and approached with iron rods in hand.
“I’ll remove one of your arms and see if you can still laugh!”
As the thug spoke, he had already arrived next to Rose and was about to swing his knife.
At this moment.
“A group of men bullying a woman, trash!”
A stone flew out of Flynn’s hand and hit heavily on the thug’s wrist with a snap.
The thug released his grip due to the pain and the machete fell with a clatter.
Rose’s eyes turned bloodshot as she swiftly grabbed the machete and swung it at the thug’s arm with a powerful strike!
“Ah!”
The bones of the thug’s arm were exposed, and blood gushed out.
The onlookers were initially shocked but quickly regained their composure, their faces filled with an even stronger aura of hostility.
“Do you want to be brave and righteous?” the Scarface looked at Flynn walking towards him, his face darkened as he said, “Short-lived guy, if you inquire about who I hang out with, you will regret what you just said.”
“I advise you to mind your own business and get out of here quickly. Otherwise, I will make your family suffer!”
“They are not ordinary hooligans, they have the support of the Swanson family. Even if someone dies, they can handle it. Naturally, they have the confidence to say these words.”
“You fucking idiot, do you know who we are? If we tell you, it will scare you to death. We are from the Swanson family!”
“You’ve watched too many martial arts movies, haven’t you? You want to be a hero and save the beauty? Take a look at how many of us there are. We could easily beat you up and throw you in the river to feed the fish!”
“There’s no need for all of us to attack. I alone can smash his head! I’ll make him kneel down and beg for mercy!”
A dozen or so thugs grinned and brandished sticks, shouting like mad dogs and getting their hackles up.
Flynn glanced lightly at the gangsters and shook his head, saying, “The Swanson family is worth billions, yet the quality of their dogs is so poor. Don’t you think it’s a devaluation?”
“What the f*** are you saying?!” the Scarface instantly became ferocious.
Flynn watched as the scar-faced man twitched and shrugged helplessly.
“He’s still a sick dog, deaf in both ears!” he muttered.
“I don’t want to dirty my hands. Get lost,” the scar-faced man growled.
“Tell the Swanson family to return the Sharp’s Group, or else I’ll break their boss’s legs!”
Sick dog? Break the Swanson family boss’s legs?
The scar-faced man was taken aback. The Swanson family was Pelens’ top billionaire clan, worth billions of dollars with connections all over town. They knew several high-ranking officials in the state government.
This kind of person was like a god in the Scarface’s eyes, but this guy in front of him didn’t seem to care at all!
Was he someone important?
Rose frowned slightly and looked at Flynn with confusion written on her face.
“What is your name?” the Scarface asked Flynn.
Flynn ignored him and turned to Rose with a smile on his face.
“I’m your dad’s friend from prison. He asked me to come help you get your company back. Come down from there; I’ll help you out.”
He wanted to go up and get Rose down, but she turned away as if she had heard an enemy’s name and said coldly, “I have no father! Thank you for your help. Now please leave!”
“Kevin’s cellmate?” the Scarface burst out laughing.
“Just another piece of trash that got released from prison!”
“So even a wife killer can have friends in jail, how interesting.”
“I bet you and him are cut from the same cloth. Did you get locked up for being a thug too?”
The thugs all laughed along with the Scarface.
“I thought that dog Kevin was dead! What’s the point of living when you’re someone like him? If it were me, I would’ve killed myself already!”
“Aren’t wife killers the most hated in prison? Maybe he bent over to pick up some soap for one of the big guys and became a gay boy.”
“Tsk tsk, that might actually be what happened! Who would’ve thought Kevin turned into a man-whore! Maybe Rose will follow in her dad’s footsteps and become a prostitute too. I’ll be there to cheer her on when it happens! Haha….”
Rose remained expressionless as if everyone was just mocking someone else. She looked at the river with indifferent eyes, “I don’t want anything to do with him. Tell him he can never go back to how things were before no matter how much he tries to make amends.”
“I hate him and will never forgive him!”
Kevin killed his wife and went to jail.
She hated Kevin and couldn’t understand why her father had done such a thing.
Late at night, she had once considered burning everything down.
But her mother had poured her heart into building the Sharp’s Group, so she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
After six months of depression, Rose picked herself up and tried to save the Sharp family for her mother and herself.
But she failed, and failed miserably.
All was lost!
Her life felt like it had been wasted, and she was afraid to even cry for fear of being impolite.
Despite all her efforts, she was powerless against the disappointments life threw at her. She had given everything she had but ended up with nothing but scars.
Rose wiped away her tears fiercely, refusing to look back!
The Scarface approached Flynn with a sneer on his face, “I don’t care what your relationship is with Kevin. He has some old comrades in Niarak who may want you to join forces with them to help revive the Sharp family.”
“But you should know that you’re facing Pelens’ top family as well as the Woods family and Dragon Gate Group. His old comrades are no match for them!”
Rose shook her head too. Kevin did have some loyal followers, but they were insignificant in front of powerful capital enemies. It would be foolish to rely on them against the Swanson family – a pipe dream!
However…
“Old comrades?” Flynn sneered disdainfully, “Why bother relying on others when I can crush the Swanson family myself?”
“I am enough on my own!”
