Chapter 7
After finishing their drinks, the group headed back to the dance floor.
Mabel had majored in dance and moved with striking grace.
Fueled by alcohol, her dancing grew wild and reckless, instantly drawing the attention of every man in the room.
One of them approached her and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Miss, let me buy you a drink?”
She tried to push him away, but her strength was gone, and her resistance looked more like flirting.
The man grabbed her and tried to drag her off. “Come on, let’s get a booth.”
When she refused, he pulled harder and twisted her wrist painfully. Thus, she turned and slapped him across the face. “Let me go!”
“Bitch! You don’t know what’s good for you, huh?”
With that, he lifted her up in his arms and began carrying her upstairs.
Her friends were still lost in the music and completely unaware of what was happening.
“Ms. Anna, take it easy with the drinks.”
At that moment, Julian and Glen had arrived at the bar with Anna.
By chance, her classmate’s birthday celebration was held at the same location.

Anna nodded sweetly and took a small sip. But as she lifted her head, she saw Mabel being dragged upstairs.
She frowned and thought, “What a small world.‘
“Let me go!” Mabel struggled with all her might. In the chaos, she caught sight of Julian and Glen. “Julian! Glen! Help me!”
When both men heard her voice, they glanced up at her.
“Ms. Mabel.”
Just when she thought she was saved, they turned away and ran in the opposite direction.
Anna was in danger, so they hurried to protect her.
“Ms. Anna, are you alright? Did anything happen? Do you feel sick? Do you want to go to the hospital?“.
Even as she shook her head in firm refusal, Glen said nothing but simply scooped her up and carried her out.
Meanwhile, Julian merely glanced back at Mabel before following them closely.
At that moment, Mabel gave up on all of them.
The man carried her into a private room and threw her hard onto the sofa before climbing on top of her.
But she grabbed a vase from the table, smashed it, and pressed a shard to her own neck, threatening him, “If you touch me, I’ll die right in front of you.”
Whoa, don’t
The determination in her eyes made him freeze. go that far! We’re just here to have fun!”

She did not speak but merely pushed the shard deeper, and blood welled up instantly.
“Psycho!” he cursed and stormed out.
Only then did Mabel gradually drop her
hand
She was utterly exhausted.
Mabel couldn’t even remember how she got home. All she knew was that
when she arrived, the three of them were waiting for her outside her bedroom door.
Glen noticed the wound on her neck and frowned. “What happened?”
Mabel didn’t answer and asked instead, “Did you want something?”
“Ms. Mabel,” he began, “Ms. Anna can’t speak, and that’s already difficult enough for her. We’re here to ask you to please stop hurting her.”
Mabel chuckled. “Hurt her? When did I ever hurt her?”
Julian’s expression turned sour. “Weren’t you the one who sent those men to target Ms. Anna tonight? And then you shouted for help on purpose to distract me?”
“Who told you I was the one behind that? Is that really what you all think
of me?”
Brett finally spoke after a pause. “Ms. Anna has always treated you with nothing but sincerity. You shouldn’t repay her like this.”
The three of them came to her in the middle of the night, not out of worry for her but for Anna.
Suddenly, Mabel felt cold. The chill spread from her chest through her entire body, and she couldn’t stop trembling. “Get out all of you!”

“If you really can’t stand Ms. Anna, then maybe you should consider
getting married. I believe a lot of men would be willing. If you want, Mr. Cabrera can marry you.”
“Mr. Torres is willing, too.”
“And Mr. Spears as well.‘
“What now? You can all speak on behalf of the three major families? Don’t all of you want to marry Anna?” Mabel retorted.
She couldn’t believe that they were all willing to sacrifice their marriages just to stop her from hurting Anna.
But as they wished, she would get married tomorrow.
