One Night Stand With That Beggar

Before Naomi and Eudora could express their doubts, Eudora started to lose her grip on the rope.

Eudora shouted loudly, “Naomi!” Nelson, who was being questioned by Cody on a rock, jumped towards Naomi. He grabbed onto the other end of the rope held by Eudora.

In the blink of an eye, he was hanging onto the other side of the tree.

He and Naomi ended up like a balancing scale, hanging from both sides of the tree.

Eudora felt a tremor and she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Nelson, who was gazing into her daughter’s eyes in mid-air.

His action just now looked to have come from his heart.

If it wasn’t, then the only explanation would be that he was a really good actor..

However, even Amos couldn’t be so good at doing that, therefore Eudora could only believe in their love.

“Sh*t!” She heard Jerry cussing.

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat, and she was thinking about how to get away again. Fortunately, Nelson had saved Naomi, for now.

However, he was still hanging from the tree by grasping the rope with his bare hands, it was extremely precarious!

He might lose his grip at anytime just like she did.

As she was thinking, Cody picked up his phone again and went into the cabin by the cliff.

Eudora turned to look at Jerry. Compared to Cody, Jerry seemed easier to deal with.

He was standing with his back facing Eudora. She wondered if she had a fighting chance if she were to attack him from behind.

Perhaps she would fail, but she felt that she had no choice but to give it a try anyway!

…

Inside the cabin.

As expected, it was Monique who called him.

“What’s happening? Have you done it? I’ve already said that I only want Nelson alive. You can deal with the rest of them as you please. I don’t care if they’re dead or alive!”

Cody said falteringly, “Madam, about this…”

“What’s wrong? Do you have any other problems? Oh, it’s about the payment, isn’t it? You can rest assured that you will be paid in full as I promised you. I’ll get someone to transfer it into your account now.”

“No, it’s not about that! Nelson didn’t act as planned. Now he is hanging from the cliff with Miss George!”

“What?”

Monique slammed her fist down on the table in anger.

“Is this how you do your job? Didn’t I tell you not to hurt him?”

“We really didn’t hurt him. When I asked him to choose, Miss George almost fell down, so he jumped over and caught her mid-air!”

The man couldn’t help sighing at the thought.

“He’s really audacious! I can’t believe that he actually dared to jump into the rope mid-air!”

There was an ominous silence at the other end of the phone line. Cody shut up as he felt Monique’s brooding wrath. Then, he tried to please her with a compliment.

“Of course, it also proves that you are very insightful…”

Bang!

Another loud noise could be heard by Cody through the phone.

Monique sneered, “Very well, Nelson! It’s not that I didn’t give you any chance! In this case, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

She sounded wicked and cruel as if she was a demon straight from hell.

Cody couldn’t help but shudder.

“Madam, what should we…”

“You can do whatever you want! This matter has nothing to do with me anymore!”

Hearing this, the man was stunned as he said, “Wait, Madam, this is not what we’ve agreed on! We followed your orders. Now, you want to quit? What about us?”

“Haven’t you already received the deposit? You’re the ones who didn’t hold up your end of the deal. What does it have to do with me? As for you, aren’t you kidnappers? Money or life, it’s up to you to choose!”

“Hey?”

The man was about to press on, but the phone had been hung up!

He stared at the phone with contempt and cursed.

“F*ck! B*tch, I thought you are so d*mn capable, but it turns out that you’re just a resentful woman. If I were Nelson, I wouldn’t like you either!”

While he was thinking, he heard a loud sound coming from outside.

The man was bemused, and then he ran out hastily.

…

Eudora picked up a wooden stick from the ground beside the tree, and sneaked up on Jerry.

When she was near to him, she struck him on his back while he was not paying attention.

As a result, he bellowed out in pain and turned to glare at Eudora furiously, which made Eudora’s blood run cold. Luckily, she had picked up a few moves from Amos when she was young.

With that, she punched him in the face. Consequently, his eyelids rolled and he passed out at once.

Nelson was dumbfounded. He had always thought that Eudora was a frail woman. Her valiance came as a surprise to him.

When he turned to look at Naomi again, he came to a realization. “Like mother, like daughter, I see.” He thought to himself.

Then, Eudora went over to Naomi. She reached out using the stick. Naomi grabbed hold of it and pulled herself to safety.

Following Naomi, it was Nelson’s turn. The two of them tried to pull him back to the cliff. However, Cody just so happens to come out.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately sprinted over and checked what had happened to Jerry.

After confirming that his brother was only unconscious and not dead, he ran towards them.

“How dare you try and escape!”

Eudora hurriedly called out, “I’ll stop him. Hurry up and pull Nelson over!”

After saying that, she plucked up all of her strength and threw random punches and kicks at Cody.

As luck would have it, she managed to have the upper hand over Cody.

Seeing that Eudora probably wouldn’t be in danger for the time being, Naomi quickly took the stick and tried to pull Nelson over.

The situation on his side was a bit more troublesome. It was because he wasn’t tied to the rope, instead he was holding it with his own hands.

He couldn’t just let go of the rope and turn to grab the stick.

Naomi tried quite a few times, but she didn’t succeed. In the end, he had to hold on the stick with his legs, and slowly wriggle towards the cliff.

Right then, Eudora was losing her fight to Cody.

After all, she only knew a few self-defense moves. Cody was a big man, and also a bad one at that. He was definitely going to outfight Eudora. She might have caught him off guard at first, but now she was on the verge of defeat.

“Mom!” Naomi looked at Eudora and couldn’t help but cry out anxiously.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Eudora shouted as she retreated, “Don’t worry about me! Hurry up and save him!”

After that, she hit the man on the head. Feeling the pain, the man took half a step back, and he glowered ferociously at her.

“Damn it! How dare you underestimate me!”

At the other side, Nelson was close to the edge. Naomi took a deep breath and said, “Fast!”

Not long later, his toes landed on the ground. As soon as he stood firm, there was a loud noise coming from Eudora’s side. Then, Eudora was pushed away by Cody and was about to fall off the cliff behind her.

“Mom!” Naomi screamed.
