In My Desperate Time

Chapter 270 Can You Stop Getting Me Involved

Pungent smell spreads in the air. Thinking of what she did to Cindy Leigh, I instantly realize that the liquid is sulphuric acid!

And it’s too late for me to dodge away.

I don’t want to be disfigured! And I don’t want to go blind or anything like that.

I block with my arms and close my eyes in fear.

But the pain and feeling of burning doesn’t come as expected.

A deep and painful man’s voice is heard beside me.

And the surrounding crowd exclaims.

I open eyes confusedly, only seeing that one of the men sent by Steven is blocking in front of me.

He silently takes all this for me.

With his back facing me, although I can’t see his expressions, I can feel he is painful and miserable from his slowly crouching body and wailing.

I know very well that what Whitney splashes is sulphuric acid. That is to say, the man saved me is disfigured or even worse.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. You shouldn’t have done this for me. I’ll send you to the hospital soon.”

I walk up and hold him, full of guilty and shame.

Although I know how horrible sulphuric acid is, but I’m still deeply shocked when I see his badly burnt face beyond recognition.

Everybody is watching at Whitney in fear and steps back away from her, as if she is a human-eating monster.

“Manager, please help me call the police.” I say to the manager not standing far away.

The manager is on Steven’s side, and he immediately does as told.

Instead of getting frightened, Whitney takes the bottle again and splashes at me.

This time, no one blocks for me and I can’t find a place to hide. But fortunately there isn’t much left in the bottle, so there are only one or two drops flying out.

One drop spills on my ear.

Immediately, my ear burns hot like fire, which makes me feel so painful. Just one drop tortures me like this, and I can’t imagine what kind of pain the man blocking for me has suffered.

I have to take him to the hospital quickly.

But Whitney blocks my way. She tugs at my hand and says coldly, “Jane, you won’t feel it’s lucky that you just hurt your ear. Frances always pursues perfection. Even the slightest flaw is fatal to you.”

Even now all in her mind is how to calculate between me and Frances. She is really hopeless!

“Are you insane?! I have nothing to do with Frances now. Why can’t you just get out of my life?! Getting married or divorced, it’s your business. What does it have to do with me? Can you please stop involving me between you?”

“Have nothing to do with you?! If it’s not for you, how can he divorce me?! And now you are still playing nice and angling for sympathy? You’re nothing but a shameless bitch that stole my husband. Everybody’s here, I hope you all can see clearly what kind of person this woman is. Be careful that she would seduce your husbands!” she sneers and speaks to the surrounding crowd.

It seems that they’ve forgotten how horrible Whitney was just now when she splashes sulphuric acid, and they shoot their sight at me in disgust.

This is the society. The one steps into others’ marriage is always to be condemned.

But of course I will never say that I’m completely innocent or virtuous.
