Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 279

"I can't leave you here alone, William. If we're going to die, we die together!" Lynn exclaimed.

I questioned what she meant by dying. I didn't want to die.

I glared at Lynn angrily. "Calm down! Call the police. As long as you bring help, we can both survive!"

I was being as clear as possible, but she kept shaking her head. "I won't leave you alone. If anyone's going, it's you. You go call the police."

I was losing patience.

Maximus' target was her. If she stayed, she would definitely be in trouble. I would just get beaten up, but at least I wouldn't suffer anything worse. How could she not see that?

Mark had already moved toward us and charged at me as she refused to listen.

I dodged in time, but he was fast and immediately lunged at me again. This time, I was a little slower, and he grabbed my shoulder, slamming me to the ground.

Before I could react, his large foot came toward my stomach. Without thinking, I rolled to the side and crawled under a table. He crouched, reaching for my ankle. I panickedly pulled out a self-defense knife from my pocket and stabbed at his arm.

He tried to pull back, but it was too late. The knife plunged into his arm, and blood began to spill. He grunted in pain and withdrew his hand. Now that I had a weapon, I wasn't as afraid anymore.

Without it, I would be no match for these two. But with a knife in hand, I wasn't scared at all. I crawled out from under the table and took a glance.
