Must she hand them to him just because he said so?! Samantha sneered sarcastically and tucked the property deed into h

clothes. Then provocatively, she said, "You want it? Come

and get it!"

"You asked for it!" The middle-aged man took out a sharp dagger from his waist and attacked Samantha with great speed, thinking she would be an easy target. Much to his dismay, she had learned self-defense.

He attempted to stab Samantha several times with the knife but missed every time. Instead, Samantha seized the man's blade when he wasn't paying attention and slashed the man's

Forced by Samantha, the man kept retreating and was eventually cornered on the hood of his own car. When Samantha tried to crow his heart, the man kicked the knife his car, and escaped. away, got into

She dropped the knife and went to her now-wrecked car, feeling devastated by it. Driving was no longer an option, nor did she have a phone, and she was far away from Finley's mansion.

Worse, she was on an uphill road that would take a long time to come down, even with a car, let alone walking. However, she couldn't just stay in this secluded place overnight, could she?

No, Finley's still waiting for me at home. I have to go back. She mused and abandoned the wrecked car, jogging back to the mansion.

Good Lord, Finley's house is way further than I expected! And that uphill road, man, it's a miracle my legs are still intact.

Samantha was now tired, hungry, and thirsty. Although she picked a few fruits on the way to curb her hunger, she was still famished.

Approaching Finley, Samantha saw him still working on the laptop and instantly snatched it away, closing it. "No more working so late anymore. What if you overwork yourself?"

Finley paid no attention to what Samantha said, for his gaze was fixed on her injured arm, where there was a large abrasion, and her feet were covered in small wounds. Finley's gaze turned grim, but he remained silent.
