Even Lara jumped in shock, furrowing her brows as she eyed the person at the door. Nelly? What’s she doing here? First, Alpha Kilian calls, and now Nelly’s here. Could it be…This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as Lara was lost in thought, about eight men dressed in security guard uniforms appeared behind Nelly. Some of them had wounds on their faces as if they had just been in a fight.
Once all of them had arrived, the leader of the group glared at Nelly and yelled, “Get her!” At that moment, Alpha Zachary shot to his feet and walked to the entrance. “Stop!”
When the leader of the group noticed Alpha Zachary’s presence, he informed, “Mr. Lucas, this woman barged in here and even injured some of us!”
Alpha Zachary eyed Nelly in puzzlement. He never expected Nelly to attack and even injure his men. He wanted to ask her something but could not bring himself to open his mouth.
Finally, he said, “Nelly…”
Nelly stared right at Lara as if she did not notice Alpha Zachary at all. Her gaze was so cold that she looked as if she wanted to devour Lara.
Alpha Zachary had never seen that side of Nelly before. However, he knew very well that she was infuriated.
He turned to his men and instructed, “Take the wounded to the hospital. I’ll take care of the medical bill.”
“Mr. Lucas…”
Alpha Zachary shot the leader a glare, causing him to shut up immediately and nod. “Got it!” With that, the leader turned to the rest and signaled them to leave.
Once the atmosphere at the entrance returned to its peaceful state, Alpha Zachary gazed at Nelly. “Nelly, what are you doing here?”
Nelly lifted her head and stared at Alpha Zachary without a trace of surprise. She spat, “I’m not here for you.”
With that, she shifted her gaze to Lara.
For some strange reason, Nelly’s gaze made Lara take a step back in shock. Nelly strode toward her, every step filling the air with an aura of oppression.
Seeing Nelly walking toward her, Lara asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Nelly said nothing and continued toward her target.
As Nelly got closer with each step, a strange fear flooded Lara’s heart, causing her to step backward. “Nelly, there’s nothing left to talk about between us. Don’t you dare pick on others just because you know how to fight…”
Still, Nelly remained silent, casting Lara a frosty and disdainful look.
“I’m going to call the police!” said Lara, fumbling through her bag for her phone. Finally finding it, she was about to dial when Nelly suddenly slapped her hand. The phone landed in the corner of the room.
Lara looked at Nelly in fright. “W-What are you doing-”
Before she could finish her words, Nelly grabbed Lara’s throat and pressed her against the wall, giving her a deadly stare.
“What are you doing? Let me go…” Lara squirmed, trying to pull Nelly’s hand away. However, the more she struggled, the stronger Nelly’s grip became. Lara’s face flushed instantly. Even so, Nelly said nothing, just staring at Lara as if she was watching a drowning person.
Alpha Zachary was stunned by Nelly’s sudden actions, watching them without knowing what to do.
Lara looked at Alpha Zachary, stretching her hand toward him. “M-Mr. Lucas, help me…”
Only then did Alpha Zachary snap back to his senses. He hurried over, looking at Nelly. “What’s wrong, Nelly?”
“This is between me and her. It’s none of your business!” Nelly answered without turning to look at him. Her eyes were still fixed on Lara, and she looked as if she was going to tear Lara apart.
Alpha Zachary furrowed his brows. Nelly’s attitude was far colder than he had imagined. Lara was still struggling. “S-Save me…”
Just then, one of the women on the couch couldn’t help but shriek, “Murder!” And she shot out of the room.
Her actions caused the other women to dash out as well.
