Chapter 35
Gwendolyn's eyes lit up when she heard that.
This is great. If I had this last night, Patrick wouldn't have been able to move after a single prick, and I wouldn't have been taken advantage of.
“I'll have this one, then. How many times can I use it?” she asked.
She hoped it was not designed for one-time usage. That would be unacceptable, as the item was for cheap either.
The staff explained, “There is spare anesthetic here. When you've used up the anesthetic in the ring, you can replenish it yourself. Hence, you can reuse it three hundred times.”
Gwendolyn purchased two. They each cost her two thousand. Her heart ached from how pricey it was, but it was a life-saving tool for a single woman like her. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She put the other in Lucy's hand and advised, “You should wear one, too, since you're always in the nightclub. Use this to protect yourself when you're in danger.”
Gwendolyn had worked at Night City before and knew it was filled with all sorts of people. Naturally, she felt worried about Lucy working there.
At first, Gwendolyn wanted to return to her old line of work, too, but she decided against it when she thought about her three children.
If anything happens to me, what will be of them?
Lucy did not decline the offer but accepted the ring. “Thank you.”
Gwendolyn circled her arm around Lucy as they exited the shop. “No need to thank me.”
Suddenly, Lucy noticed her husband walking with his mistress in front of them. She immediately rushed forward with gritted teeth.
She grabbed the man's hair and admonished, “You b*stard! You don't care about your sick daughter. I asked you to test your bone marrow, but you're afraid of pain.”
Overcome with fury, Lucy landed a slap on his face.
Her husband, Jared Lawson, spun on the spot from the tight slap as the woman beside him screamed, “Help! Someone's fighting!”
Soon, many spectators gathered around. When Jared came to his senses, he started fighting back. He grasped a fistful of Lucy's hair and pulled forcefully.
“How dare you hit me! I'm going to end you!”
Gwendolyn was shocked, but she immediately removed her high heels when she saw the two ganging up on Lucy and dashed toward them.
“Don't hit her!”
Then, Gwendolyn hit Jared and his mistress' heads with her heels. Seeing blood gushing from their heads, the spectators were stunned and quickly called the police.
When the police arrived, they saw a pair of beautiful ladies beating up a man and another woman sobbing at the side.
“Stop! You're going to harm him!”
The police quickly separated the ladies from Jared. Blood was dripping from the corners of Gwendolyn's lips, and her hair was a mess.
Lucy's cheeks were bruised and swollen. She tugged her blouse, itching to get in a few more kicks.
The police stopped her. “Enough. Come with us to the police station.”
Meanwhile, Jared was bleeding from his head. His shirt was torn, and there were scratches all over his face as well.
He pointed at the two hysterical women and whimpered, “Sir, those two women are crazy. They attacked my girlfriend and me. I will sue them and make sure they go to prison.”
Gwendolyn and Lucy finally came down from their high of beating up Jared.
However, if they were both brought to the police station, then what would happen to their kids?
Lucy blocked Gwendolyn and said to the police officer, “Just take me away, sir. She has nothing to do with this.”
The mistress beside Jared pointed at Gwendolyn. “You must arrest her, sir. She's the one who wounded us in the head.”
The police said coldly, “Stop talking. All of you will be taken away. Send those two to be treated in the hospital first. We'll interrogate them later.”
In the CEO's office of Lowen Group, Liam entered the room and strode toward the office table.
“Look at this video, Mr. Lowen. Ms. Ashton just fought with someone.”
