A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 240

Jack moved with careful, silent steps. He stayed in the shadows, hidden from view, making sure no one noticed his presence.

When he was about 30 feet away, he stopped. His sharp eyes cut through the dim light, giving him a clear view of what was happening. And what he saw left him stunned.

This wasn't just a couple sneaking around in the dark. There were a total of three people. One of the men was none other than Leslie, who had been desperately pursuing Phoebe.

Jack couldn't believe it—Leslie, who appeared so respectable on the outside, was actually this despicable behind closed doors? The other man, whom Jack had briefly met at Phoebe's birthday party, was named Christopher Jenner. The woman was Joey.

The three of them lay sprawled out in the grass, catching their breath after whatever they had just done.

Then, Leslie said with a sneer, "That bitch thinks she's so untouchable. One of these days, she's gonna be begging me for mercy."

Christopher let out a crude laugh. "Come on, Leslie. You've been talking big for months. When are you finally gonna seal the deal?"

"Relax. It's only a matter of time."

"Or," Christopher suggested, "we could just take what we want. Why waste any more time?"

For a moment, Leslie hesitated. "I don't know… Her family's got some influence."

Christopher scoffed. "How much influence could they really have? Look, we're all just waiting for you to make a move. Once you get her, we all get to have some fun. Isn't that what brothers do? Share the good times?"

Leslie's hesitation flickered again, but Christopher wasn't done pushing.

"You're not scared, are you?" Christopher taunted. "We've been waiting to get a taste of this 'goddess' you keep drooling over."

Leslie gritted his teeth.

The three of them bolted, cursing as they went, complaining about getting scratched by the weeds.

Hidden in the corner, Jack was seething with frustration. He knew exactly what Leslie and Christopher had been talking about.

But when he had tried to sneakily pull out his phone to record the conversation, he accidentally made a noise and alerted them. By the time he realized it, those assholes had already made their escape, and he'd missed the chance to capture anything.

Still, Jack had seen enough to understand what kind of person Leslie really was. He couldn't believe that beneath Leslie's rich, romantic facade lay such a dirty, twisted side.

What pissed Jack off even more was the fact that, in order to pursue Phoebe, Leslie seemed to have teamed up with his shady friends, treating Phoebe as if she were their prey. Once they got their hands on her, they'd all share in the spoils, even going so far as to use drugs.

After the anger faded, Jack began to calm down. No matter whether Phoebe had feelings for him or not, he couldn't let her anywhere near those scumbags—especially not tomorrow. He couldn't let that happen. The thought of it made him furious.

But then, frustration built up again. He hadn't managed to record anything. If only he'd gotten those clips, he could've sent them to Phoebe. There's no way she would've stayed with Leslie after seeing that.
