Chapter 5
Before her knees could even touch the floor, Jacob reached out and helped her up. Then, she stood behind him with a cocky expression.
“That’s enough, Sarah. What are you trying to do? Stop causing a scene!” Jacob barked.
Causing a scene?
I’d almost got beaten half to death by those girls. Even though I was slumped on the floor, Jacob didn’t even bother to give me a hand. On the other hand, he’d practically rushed over to help Queenie up the second she’d bent her knees.
I felt my heart grow cold.
Once the assistants realized Jacob wasn’t on my side, they no longer looked nervous. Instead, they looked just as cocky as they were prior to his arrival. Now, they continued staring at me with contempt and disdain.
I looked toward the bystanders with a pleading expression. “If someone calls the police for me, I’ll give them two thousand dollars as a thank-you.”
Money talked. In the blink of an eye, they all became eager to help.
“Are you serious about that, lady?” a man who was holding up his phone earnestly asked.
I ignored Jacob’s furious gaze and solemnly nodded.
Subsequently, the bystanders took out their phones and began to dial 911.
Immediately, Jacob and the assistants’ expressions all began to sour.
Queenie hastily dashed over and knelt down in front of me. Then, she grabbed my hand and used it to hit herself.
Once I realized what she was doing, I followed her movements and slapped her across her face. While she was still stunned by what happened, I continued to slap her without caring about how disheveled I looked.
Soon, her face became red and swollen.
Everyone was dumbfounded by my actions.
Jacob shoved me aside and glanced at Queenie’s face with a heartbroken expression. “What’s wrong with you, Sarah Anderson? You can’t just hit people like that!”
I stared at them emotionlessly. I felt stone-cold. “I wasn’t even done with her yet. Besides, I only hit her because she told me to,” I spat.
I continued, “You didn’t seem concerned when they collectively beat me up. In fact, you wouldn’t even let me call the police on them. This is nothing compared to what they did to me.
“Why are you so upset? Have you forgotten who your actual girlfriend is?”
Upon hearing this, Jacob took a small step away from Queenie. He softened his tone and said, “I’m just trying to solve the problem in an amicable manner, baby.”
I ignored Jacob and kept my eyes on Queenie. I noticed that she’d turned around and shot someone a look.
I scanned the room and realized that the redhead was now nowhere to be seen. Then, through the glass, I caught her pointing her phone camera directly at me.
What was she up to now?
