Chapter 175: Chapter 175

Paige Sterling was standing under the bus stop sign a little way from the entrance of the club, waiting for Julian Hawthorne.

A few men who seemed drunk suddenly approached, surrounding Paige and speaking in a lewd manner.

"Miss, by yourself? How about having some fun with us?"

It was night and there were already few people on the roadside. The few passing by were afraid of trouble and hurriedly walked away.

Paige wore her hoodie, hands in her pockets, her eyes softly swept over the men, "Are you trying to trouble me?"

Unexpectedly, Paige wasn’t afraid of them; rather, she was so calm that the men were intrigued, "How could that be trouble? We’re just trying to make friends with you. Miss, do us a favor? How about having some fun with us?"

Paige seemed to laugh, very lightly, hardly noticeable.

She asked, "Are you sure you want to play with me?"

Paige’s calm demeanor made the men uneasy.

Wouldn’t a normal person in such a situation start screaming or quickly running away?

Then again, Paige was just a woman, what could she do to them?

Being so composed must be a front; she must be quite scared inside.

So the men grew even bolder, "You’re so pretty, of course, we want to play with you."

Then Paige said, "Let’s go over there; I can have a good time playing with you too."

The men looked in the direction Paige indicated, only to see a dimly lit alley.

"Go there?" The men were dumbfounded; couldn’t this woman have a normal reaction?

Paige nodded with a sound of affirmation.

Although it was late at night, hitting people on the street wasn’t good; it might scare others.

The men thought about it and agreed it wasn’t suitable here; Paige suggesting the alley matched their intention.

Without much thought, Paige’s frail appearance was deceiving; those who hadn’t seen it firsthand wouldn’t believe the explosive power hidden in her small frame.

So the men smiled, surrounding Paige as they headed into the alley.

They still worried Paige was looking for a chance to escape, so they kept a close watch on her, but Paige remained completely cooperative.

Once in the alley, Paige took down her hoodie.

Seeing her face, they felt a strange familiarity.

After a while, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn’t this Pa-Pa-Pa... Paige Sterling?!"

The leader was also shocked.

The person who paid them for the job didn’t say it was Paige Sterling.

Are they even capable of dealing with such a person?

The men jumped in fright, instinctively stepping back two paces.

Paige spoke calmly, "Running now won’t help. I’ve memorized your faces and can definitely figure a way to deal with you."

And at her hands, they still want to run?

How could they dream so grandly?

"I-I-I... You-you-you..."

The leader was speechless.

Who would have thought landing a job would involve such a big name?

How to wrap this up now?

Walking away, Paige wouldn’t let them off...

While they hadn’t found a solution, Paige said, "Come on together; my husband is coming to pick me up, so I don’t have much time."

The men, "Pa-Pa-Pa..."

"Stop ’Pa’-ing, hurry up..."

The underlings looked to their leader; they were just paid to put on a show, now they’re in a tight spot; doing wrong, not doing also wrong, what to do?

The leader hesitated, thought about it, and decided to continue the act for now.

"Since you’re so sensible, we’ll be gentle with you."

As he spoke, he reached to touch Paige, but his hand trembled all the while.

No joke; this is how many people’s goddess—can he not tremble?

Yet, before his hand touched Paige, he was sent flying.

The rest were stunned for a moment, then rushed forward, only to be flung away by Paige.

Paige flexed her wrist, "Your skills aren’t very good."

She walked over to the men on the ground.

Now, seeing her, their eyes resembled those seeing a demon, filled with fear as they retreated.

"He-heroine, we were wrong, we were just paid to do this, we don’t want to trouble you, please let us go..."

Upon knowing Paige’s identity, they no longer wanted to trouble her and just hoped to quickly complete the task and leave.

Anyway, they hadn’t really harmed Paige. Paige is such a big name; they wouldn’t reasonably be pursued for this, right?

Now they realized they were wrong. Paige wouldn’t seek revenge later; she’d settle it now.

Look at those fighting moves—how much combat must this have taken to practice?

Seeing their fear, Paige felt a bit sorry for them.

So she smiled, "I’ll give you a chance to call the police."

Are they allowed to call for help?

They were a bit dumbfounded, not knowing Paige’s intentions.

Then Paige said, "Explain to the police who sent you; otherwise..."

Her tone paused, and the following words sounded particularly malicious, "I’ll beat you to death."

The men shivered, shaking their heads, "No, we can’t call the police..."

With the crackdown on crime, if the police catch them, wouldn’t that also lead to their downfall?

Paige laughed, her teeth showing, eerily, "Then I’ll beat you to death."

Saying that, she took hold of the leader and gave him a severe thrashing.

The others were dumbstruck, "We’ll call the police! Don’t hit us!" This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

Better to go to the police station than be beaten to death by Paige; at least the police could protect them, leaving them a life.

One of the underlings pulled out his phone, shakingly dialed 110.

"Hello, officer, we did something wrong, we’re taking someone else’s money and now robbing a girl, please come arrest us..."

Before reacting, the person continued desperately shouting, "Please hurry, come quickly, save me, officer! If you don’t come, someone’s going to die!"

The police were genuinely perplexed. First time seeing robbers willingly calling to report themselves, and with such a desperate tone too.

Are you sure you aren’t the ones being robbed?

Meanwhile, Seth Shaw, hiding in the shadows, was stunned by Paige’s series of actions.

His initial thought was, once Paige was stripped by those men and fully experienced despair, he’d appear like a savior to rescue Paige from difficulty, ensuring Paige would forget past events and choose to start anew with him.

After all, what woman doesn’t adore a hero rescuing her?

If Paige would give him another chance, he believed with his charm, he could tightly bind Paige, ultimately reaching the peak of life.

So he hid in the shadows, waiting for the right moment.
