Female Novel
Chapter 270
“Weren’t you the one who had called me over because you have something to tell me? I wasn’t going
to rush over, but you insisted you had something urgent to tell me and said it was about a new mission
from the Moore family!” After he explained himself, the middle-aged man looked in my direction and
asked, “What’s going on?”
Felix rebuked with his eyes wide open, “No! I’ve never contacted you! I didn’t receive any mission from
the Moore family either!”
They exchanged glances and knew something was wrong almost immediately.
The vicious duo looked at me while Felix confronted, “Are you the one behind this?”
I supported myself and leaned against the wall to bring myself up. After I took a breather, I nodded and
announced, “Yes! Since we’re holding a grudge against one another, eventually, we’ll have to settle the
scores, right?”
Mr. Tuffin couldn’t grasp the situation. He looked at Felix with a frown and asked, “Are you the one who
has brought her over?”
Felix nodded with a horrified expression and told Mr. Tuffin, “Hurry up and let’s go!”
Leaning against the wall, I neglected the pain I felt and warned them, “It’s too late! Do you really think
I’ll let any one of you go after the things you have put me through?”
Slap! The middle-aged man landed a hard slap on Felix’s face. He then got worked up and yelled,
“You’re such a fool! Do you know who the hell she is? Of all the people you could get your hands on,
why the heck does it have to be her? Didn’t you know that you’re playing with fire!”
“C’mon, Ashton is just a businessman! He can’t do anything against us apart from throwing us behind
bars for a few days! What are you afraid of?” Felix wiped the blood from his lips and replied scornfully.
“You idiot! Don’t you know Louis had acknowledged her as his goddaughter when they were in K City?
And it just so happened that Louis is attending an event with Clinton today?”
“W-What? S-She’s Louis’ goddaughter?”
After giving it a thought for a few seconds, Felix made up his mind and cast a wrathful gaze at me.
“Let’s kill her!”
“Oh, you must be out of your f*ckin’ mind! What should we do about the surveillance system of the
hotel, huh? Do you really think you can get away unscathed if she turns out dead when you were the
one who had brought her into the room? Please tell me you’re not such a simple-minded fool!”
The middle-aged man was infuriated and could barely catch his breath. He added, “Louis has always
been known for being extremely protective over his close ones! Meanwhile, Ashton is a cunning man
that’s capable of pulling the strings to send you to hell! Do you really think Mr. Clinton can keep you
safe? And to think that you’re the bastard who would drag me down along with you!”
Felix looked at me with his eyes narrowed to a slit. “Scarlett, I have never offended you! Why did you
set me up? What are you coming after? Don’t you think you should tell me about the rationale behind
your action since you have gotten the better of me?”novelbin
Leaning against the wall, I didn’t bother to conceal my bruises at all. Instead, I wanted to be as pathetic
as possible. “I’m merely doing Stacey a favor while getting my revenge for the abduction that has
occurred half a year ago. Coincidentally, I found out both of you are executing the orders from Zachary.
I will never allow those from the Moore family to live a peaceful life! Therefore, I didn’t mind putting my
life at stake to achieve my goal!”
“You’re crazy!” Felix was no longer the arrogant and proud man he was a few minutes ago.
Truth be told, I couldn’t figure out the reason he was released from the police station.
His influence due to his position as an auditor affiliated with AC Credit and the Ludwick family wouldn’t
allow him to wield such great influences. Stacey wasn’t a fool either – she came to me for help because
the one behind Felix wasn’t AC Credit or the Ludwick family; it was Clinton!
I should consider myself lucky because if it weren’t because of Stacey, I wouldn’t have figured out the
relationship between Felix and Clinton, let alone Clinton and Cameron.
Previously, Ashton brought me to Pear Garden to get Macy out of jail. It turned out Cameron was the
one who had brought Clinton over.
An instruction from Cameron was all it took to get Clinton to do her bidding.
Meanwhile, Felix, who was still being hopeful, hadn’t given up on the thought of killing me. He looked at
the middle-aged man and instructed, “Kill her! As long as she’s dead, I’m sure we can get off the hook
easily! Let’s get Mr. Moore to deal with the surveillance system for us. I’m sure he can go against
Louis.”
Compared to Felix, the other man was relatively calm. All of a sudden, he ran and crashed into Felix in
an attempt to knock him out.
Instinctively, Felix moved away and evaded the middle-aged man’s attack. Since the latter had a
relatively chubby built, he passed out after he knocked on the wall. His head started bleeding as a
result.
I couldn’t help but was surprised. Undeniably, he was a smart and shrewd man.
At the same time, Felix also realized what the middle-aged man was trying to do. Hence, he cursed,
“Savini, you’re such an a**hole!”
A few minutes later, a bunch of police officers and bodyguards barged into the room and surrounded
us.
Felix was pinned to the ground by the police officers while Ashton, Louis, and John showed up in the
room side by side.
Ashton, who had a gloomy expression, rushed over and placed his blazer over me.
The last to enter the room was a terrified Clinton. He got infuriated the moment he caught a glimpse of
Felix. A few seconds later, he launched a kick on his stomach and warned him, “How dare you
challenge the authority of the police when you’re in J City! Who the heck do you think you are,
scoundrel?”
It was a heavy blow on Felix. If the police officers hadn’t pinned Felix to the ground, he might be sent
flying by the powerful kick.
In the meantime, I was rushed to the hospital immediately after they found me.
After Ashton left, John, who was had stayed by my side in the ward, held onto my hand and teased,
“Do you really think you’re capable of defending yourself? Who gave you the audacity to lure them out
on your own? Do you have a death wish?”
I replied with a faint smile and checked on my pair of hands that were wrapped in gauze. “It’s nothing
serious, isn’t it? Shouldn’t you be congratulating me for a job well done?”
He scoffed, “If Uncle Louis and I weren’t around, how would you get yourself out of the nasty situation?
And if it weren’t because of our influences, do you think Felix will be intimidated by the presence of
Ashton, a businessman?”
I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly and beamed. “Well, it turned out just fine, hasn’t it? If none of
you were around, I wouldn’t have put myself at stake either.”
