“Ah!”
Germaine screamed, but before she could react, she was thrown onto the cold surface of the window by Melanie. Then, she fell to the ground with a hard crash.
As she landed on the ground, the back of her head hit a hard brick. The immense pain she felt nearly made her throw up. She screamed in pain from the depths of her throat, but she still continued to yell. “F*ck you, you shameless b*tch, how dare you steal someone else’s husband? How dare you try to hurt me. Believe me when I say that I’ll get someone to f*ck you up!”
“Weren’t you acting so arrogant only a second ago?”
Melanie snorted. She put on her high heels and leisurely walked towards Germaine who was lying on the ground and unable to move. She suddenly stepped on one of her arms. She put more weight on her foot and flashed a sinister smile. “B*tch, how dare you shout at me. Who do you think you are? Yes, I seduced Dorothy’s husband, and I intend to sleep with him every night. So what? It’s none of your business. Even that coward Dorothy had no complaints. What right do you have to scream at me?”
“Listen carefully you b*tch. Dory and I are like sisters. If anyone bullies her, like a good sister, I’ll get justice for her, even if it costs me my life!”
Germaine could tell that this woman wasn’t going to be easy to deal with. She decided on a counterattack. She found the strength to grab hold of Melanie’s foot. She grabbed it hard and using her sharp fingernails, pierced her skin. Germaine fought back against the pain and sneered at Melanie, “F*ck, I’ve seen lots of mistresses in my life, but I’ve never seen one as shameless as you.”
“You b*tch, if you have a death wish, then I will help you fulfill it!”
When Melanie felt the intense pain on her feet, she got serious. She quickly withdrew her leg. She then jumped up and landed a very hard kick on Germaine’s lower abdomen with deadly accuracy.
Germaine was then kicked towards the door.
Everything happened so fast. Not even Jeremy and Credence were fast enough to catch up to Melanie’s swift vengeance against Germaine
When Jeremy saw what happened, he narrowed his eyes. A horrible killing aura surged from his body. He suddenly spread his arms and rushed over. At the very last and crucial moment, he caught Germaine, who had fallen to the ground, in his arms.
Germaine felt that she would definitely end up crippled if not dead from that kick. She had closed her eyes and gave up struggling. However, the pain she was expecting did not arrive.
On the contrary, she fell into a man’s chest. His familiar scent was enough for her to know who was holding her.
She immediately widened her eyes and struggled, “Jeremy, let go of me, f*cking let go of me right now. I don’t want you to rescue me, nor would I appreciate your kindness. It’s over between us, let’s just go our separate ways. That would be better for the two of us!”
If she didn’t want him to hold her, then Jeremy wouldn’t force her. He gently helped her up and walked towards Dorothy’s side. Then, he helped her steady herself. He revealed a fierce smile that wasn’t accompanied by laughter. “Germaine, open your eyes and watch me kill this person who dared to hurt you!”
Germaine used to believe that Jeremy felt indifferent towards her and that he’d never take her seriously. Ever since that torturous experience, she was certain that she was just a disposable plaything in Jeremy’s heart.
Therefore, she stopped thinking about any chance of a future with him. She accepted the fact that he didn’t love her at all.
However, after listening to Jeremy’s strong words and seeing him rush towards Melanie, that horrible woman from hell, she felt that he really was a man of great strength. A man who could make her feel safe and at ease.
The best way to face a cruel and vicious person like Melanie was to use another equally cruel and vicious person like Jeremy!
Dorothy could not tell what was on Germaine’s mind, she only saw her being beaten black and blue by Melanie and how she stepped on her hands. She felt so bad for Germaine that her voice turned hoarse.
“Miss Fisher, here is a medicine kit for you.”
Wilson grabbed an emergency medicine kit and quickly handed it to Dorothy. After that, he covered Belle’s eyes and escorted her downstairs.
He knew that once his boss was furious, he would mercilessly lash out, and things would turn extremely bloody. This was not suitable for children.
“Thank you, Mr. Sherman.”
Dorothy gave Wilson a grateful smile, lowered her head, took out some disinfectant and a cotton swab from the medical kit. As she tended to the bleeding wounds on Germaine’s hand, she spoke with tears running down her face. “Germaine, I’m sorry. That woman wanted me. It’s all my fault, I’ve given you so much trouble!”
“I know that you are only doing this for me, for Belle, and for the child in my womb, that was why you said such harsh things to irritate her.”
“Germaine, to be honest, I was very sad when I saw her and Credence being so close, but this tiny bit of sadness I feel shouldn’t urge you to seek justice for me. You were seriously injured before and only just recovered a few days ago. Now you’re injured again, for me. Isn’t that a silly thing to do?”
“These injuries are negligible. I have tough skin, I won’t die from this!”
Germaine was obviously in immense pain, but she still smiled at Dorothy and shrugged off the pain. “Dory, you’re the silly one. If you leave without saying a word, then this damn b*tch would think that you’re afraid of her, and she’d be smug about it. Humph, I was born with a bad temper, I don’t want to see her get her way.”
Dorothy noticed how badly Germaine was trembling from the pain, yet Germaine was still willing to fight for her. She was touched but also felt guilty.
They were just friends, but every time she got hurt, Germaine would risk her life to protect her and Belle. What about Credence?
He was the only man she had ever loved, and the one she loved the most. She believed if she married him, he would take care of her. But now, everything bad that has happened to her, was because of him.
Was there still a need for her to love a man like that?
“Germaine, I was wrong. I was the one who chose to turn back, that was why you and Juelz kept getting hurt. It won’t happen again. I won’t let Belle and my unborn child get hurt, I’m not letting you and Juelz get hurt again!”
After patching up Germaine’s wound, Dorothy looked up at Credence, who was standing by the dining table with a deep frown. There was a very strong look of firmness in his eyes.
When he sensed Dorothy’s gaze, he looked over.
The two of them stared at each other.
The moment was very quiet. The air was so still it was almost suffocating!
Sensing the determination from Dorothy’s heart, and the sincerity from her calm face, Credence’s extremely indifferent and stone cold face broke into a panic. A thin layer of sweat started to seep out from his forehead.
He licked his lips and wanted to explain what was going on to her. His lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
Jeremy, whose face looked as hard as steel, had rushed towards Melanie. He raised his long legs and aimed for Melanie’s side. He landed a swift and deadly kick at the woman’s ribs!
She had hurt Germaine, he was going to kill her for that!
