"Easy for you to say. You are the only one who isn't hit and can stand there talking. Catch her yourself," said one member of the gang indignantly. He was telling the truth. They wouldn't be lying on the ground if they could stand up right now.
"If I could catch her myself, why would I hire you people?" Jessica demanded. Her voice, however, was feeble. At this moment, she finally admitted defeat. She couldn't do anything to Cynthia other than watch her walk away and eventually fade from view.
Speaking of hiring, isn't it time you paid us, Miss Lin?" Now that their target was gone, those thugs turned to Jessica and started to ask for money.
"What the hell am I paying you for? You didn't even get the job done. How did you get the stones to ask for money, losers?" Jessica stormed, venting her anger on those hired men.
What did you say? We're losers? Okay, if you're not a loser, why didn't you drive away those armed men in the dark?" a man seeming to be the head of the gang spoke up. He glared at Jessica in fury. If it wasn't for the money, he and his men would never let a woman taunt them like school boys.
"We had a deal, and it's your job to get things done. I didn't expect loser-work for my money, all right?" Jessica continued, without trying to hide her contempt for those men whom she constantly called losers.
Hey bitch, what does that mean? You're not paying us?" a dreadful evil-looking man threatened, throwing his fist in the air angrily.
What are you going to do if I don't pay you? Rob me? Tell you what, if you want the money, go and bring that woman to me. Or there won't be a damn penny for you, let alone ten million," Jessica said, glancing disdainfully at the men around her.
"Guess you want to break our deal. So if you've made up your mind, we still need to be paid for our time. Boys, this bitch is yours. Do whatever you want! Enjoy!" Following was a roar of the creepiest laughter from the men lying on the ground. Though they hadn't recovered from the excruciating pain in their gonads, they managed to get up by holding onto chairs and pulling themselves up. They were lucky that Cynthia's guys didn't mean to take their lives, or they would have been dead by now.
"Wait, what do you want?" Jessica panicked. She now realized that she had made a huge mistake by bargaining with a group of mobs when she was surrounded by them, all by herself.
"What do you think we want? Since you won't pay us with money, you may as well pay with your body. You're a little old, but your face is pretty. I'd say I am okay to fuck you. Haha..." One of the hired men proposed, which soon set the rest of the gang on fire. They were used to paying for sex, but the girls they dealt with were mostly cheap. The thought of doing a high-end woman like Jessica excited them.
"No, please don't. I'll give you everything right now. You'll get your money! Please don't hurt me!" begged Jessica. Her face was drained of color and her body trembled with fear. Being raped once was a nightmare to her, and to go through that again was just unbearable to her. She still had nightmares from the last time, and this would just add more fires to the hell she dwelt in.
Too late! Thanks to you, we have this place all to ourselves. We can do whatever we want and no one will interrupt us. Ah, life is so fun!" The apparent leader came forward and lifted Jessica's chin with his bleeding hand. Blood now smeared her pale face. Jessica got even more frightened and she froze.
Please, please don't hurt me!" Jessica begged again, her tearful eyes filled with terror. The evil-looking man cornering her reminded her of that dreadful incident in the past. Her heart sank at the thought that the same thing was going to happen to her again. She wanted to scream, but her throat was too tight, and so was her whole body.
What? Are you afraid? Where did your pride go? Didn't you just roll your eyes at us and call us losers? Why are you afraid of us all of a sudden?" said the leader playfully, as he deliberately drew near and whispered in Jessica's ear with his filthy mouth that stank of smoke and rotten teeth.
Guys, I'm sorry. I had no call to chew you out like that. And please let me make up for that. How much money do you want? Just give me a number, and I'll pay you." Jessica was desperate. At this point, she'd give everything just to get rid of those people drooling over her. She hated her own carelessness. She put her own life in danger when she went to deal with these guys, and now she was paying the price.
Money? Do you really think we can be bought by that small amount of money? Oh, honey, you are so naive. Look who we are. We are thugs. We can always get money. And we also fuck when we want. And since you already delivered yourself, how can we refuse?" Like a cue in a movie, the rest of the men broke out in wild laughter. They now started to blatantly check out Jessica's body, especially her ample bosom. Eyes greedy, they slowly climbed up from the ground as if couldn't wait to jump on the beauty in front of them.
"No, you can't do this. Here, have my car. And all of my savings. If that's not enough, my boyfriend has more. He's the CEO of Kompass Group in H City. He'd be happy to give you money for helping me." Jessica was drowning in desperation, and the only hope she had was for Shaun to save her.
