Chapter 83 Jacob’s Escape
These dozen or so goons, holding steel pipes in their hands, were vicious. One could tell they were hooligans from the underworld.
Jacob was shaking in his boots. Such an encounter happened just as he thought of taking revenge on the young man.
Unexpectedly, the other party retaliated first.
Kate was also shocked.
Even though she was a famous socialite in Lumenopolis, it always left her dumbfounded whenever she experienced these things.
“This is the dog who dared smash my head. Beat him up! Beat him to death!” shouted the young man with a bandaged head, as he pointed vengefully towards Jacob.
“I am from the Jennings family! How dare you!” Jacob was shaken to the core, yet he still feigned courage.
“The Jennings family is nothing!”
A murderous glint flashed in one of the big goon’s eyes, as he swung the steel pipe in his hand.
Jacob’s courage wavered to cowardice as he promptly avoided the blow.
Bam!
The steel pipe smashed onto the hood of his car. Despite being overwhelmed with fear, he felt his heart ache when his beloved car was smashed.
Seeing that the goon was about to swing once again, Jacob gritted his teeth. His self-preservation instincts kicked in, he pushed Kate, who was beside him forward.
Kate shrieked as she felt the shove. Her body lost balance as she tumbled towards the big goon.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Jacob abandoned his car and ran helter-skelter.
Kate was livid, she felt her anger boil over.
Despite being the cause of the mess, rather than facing the trouble like a real man, Jacob instead choose to abandon a frail lady to her fate and escape all by himself.
This was the first time she met such a shameless scumbag!
The young man, seeing Jacob abandoned Kate, dropped his intent to chase after him.
Instead he stepped forward, glanced lecherously at Kate, and said sarcastically, “Hello pretty. Seems like your useless companion abandoned you and ran off alone.”
Kate could sense the sarcasm behind his words, but she bit her lips and dared not to speak.
Smiling sinisterly, he continued, “Since you’re a lady, I’ll not make things difficult for you. As long as you manage to call him back, I’ll graciously let you off.”
“I don’t know him very well. Please don’t get me involved in anything between you and him,” Kate blurted out.
“There’s really nothing between you two?”
Taking another step forward, he pointed to the bandage on his head and spoke indignantly, “If it weren’t for you, would I be injured? If I don’t get my vengeance, I wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat well!”
His tone changed as he ogled Kate lustfully, “If you don’t call him back, perhaps you can spend a night with me and comfort me. I’ll let you off the hook after that.”
Kate’s expression paled drastically as she shrank back in fear, and stuttered, “This is just wrong!”
“Wrong?”
The young man lewdly proclaimed, “Even I were to break a law, I’ll make sure I have a good time first!”
As he said that, he forcibly pulled Kate into his car nearby.
Kate’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately offered, “Wait a while! I’ll give him a call right now!”
Saying this, she hastily pulled out her mobile phone and started dialing for Jacob.
During this time, Jacob had been running away as far as he could. Hearing his phone ring, he turned around and saw no one pursuing him. Slowing down, he glanced at his phone.
Seeing Kate’s number being displayed on the screen, he groaned inwardly.
Leaving Kate behind in such a manner, she must be hating him to death this very moment.
Damn, this is such a pain.
He had boasted that he would woo Kate and become the son-in-law of the Sutton family of Lumenopolis to change the Jenningses’ fate for the better.
However, he had stupidly jeopardized his own plans to rely on the Sutton family.
Damn, damn, damn! How could I be so unlucky?
Hearing his phone ringing non-stop, Jacob felt upset and unsettled.
He knew that Kate was forced by those gangsters to continue making these calls.
But dare he go back?
He would definitely be killed if he dared to turn back!
Forget it. That woman may be important, but surely my life is worth even more.
With that thought, Jacob switched off his phone and continued running.
