Sextuplets From Ruthless Love novel Chapter 21

"Where did you come out from, bitch? Get lost. You're in my way."

With her ears still ringing, Jessica could not hear what the person in front of her was saying. It was not until she saw a shadow that she realized someone was approaching.

Looking up suddenly, she narrowed her gaze when she recognized the man.

It was the scarred-face man who had attempted to take Alfred's life in the stairwell the other day.

He was still dressed in the same black casual outfit.

"Oh? It's you again. Good. I'll get rid of you together with him. Both of you can keep each other company on your way to Hell."

Just as the man spoke, he kicked Alfred, who had his hands bound, toward the wall.

Even though she couldn't make out what he said, she knew that he was there to eliminate Alfred. Enduring the thunderous booms in her ear, she whipped out the combat knife she carried with her all the time.

Having lived in a war-torn country for the last five years, she had made it a habit to carry the dagger with her.

"I was caught offguard the last time. But this time, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

With a knife in hand, the man charged at her. Nevertheless, Jessica didn't need any fancy moves at all. She simply dodged the attack in a flash before plunging her knife right into the man's abdomen.

The movement still came naturally to her.

"I don't think there's a need for me to repeat what I said the last time," Jessica sneered.

The ringing in her head had finally come to a stop.

Even though she could dispose of him with a snap of her fingers, she had promised Freddy that

she would only use the skills he taught her for selfdefense.

"Lady, I can see that you're no ordinary person. Why are you getting in my way all the time? I'm just doing this for money. Why don't I make you an offer? My employer is paying me 750 thousand dollars for taking his life. If you do it for me, I'll give you the lion's share of 450 thousand dollars, while I pocket the balance. How about it?"

The scarred-face man had run out of options after twice failing to dispose of Alfred. At the rate

he was going, his employer would not easily let him off.

"If you don't leave now, you will bleed to death," Jessica remarked in a nonchalant tone while getting up to free Alfred from his restraints.

"Damn it. Fine, I admit my defeat at your hands," the scarred-face man cursed as he left.
