Lyric Willow's eyes darkened as she clasped Amanda Smith's throat with one hand, while peering down the stairwell with the other. People were on alert on every floor, and even the rooftop was crowded with figures.
And as the footsteps grew heavier, she believed it was only a matter of time before she would be caught if she stayed any longer.
Damn it.
How did Samuel Johnson find her? Could it have been Amanda Smith who betrayed her?
Lyric Willow's mind was a mess at that moment. Her gaze was fierce as she stared at Samuel Johnson and rasped, "Tell them to back off! Otherwise, I'll kill her!"
As she spoke, the people arranged nearby also rushed to the doorway, all armed and looking tough.
When Samuel Johnson heard her words, his face showed no emotion. He asked indifferently, "Who are you?"
"What do you care who I..."
"What is your purpose in getting close to her?"
Lyric Willow was so furious she was almost insane. Who wanted to chat with him at a time like this!
