Chapter 101 I’m Right Here
With You
“Forcing a woman to end her pregnancy? And you call that a family matter?” Norah’s eyes burned with fury as she stapped, “Call Felipe Yates. I want to hear it from his own lips.”
“Miss Russell, please don’t make this harder than it already is,” the assistant said, trying to keep his voice calm. “Barder? Norah shot back, her tone razor–sharp. “You’re the one twisting the knife in Farrah’s back.”
Silence tightened around them like a noose.
Recognizing the futility of further discussion, the assistant jerked his head toward the bodyguards, signaling them to remove Norah
They advanced confidently, accustomed to handling resistant women without difficulty.
“Let me go!” Norah struggled against their grip, her voice rising in desperation. “If you force Farrah to abort her child today, I will definitely tell Felipe’s parents about this!”
“Carry on,” the assistant ordered, ignoring her outburst, his gaze coldly locked on Farrah.
Farrah stood frozen, a knife trembling in her hand. As the guards closed in, she lifted it to her throat, her voice cracking but clear. “Back off! One more step and I’ll end it right here.”
She lacked Freya’s combat training, and even armed, she stood little chance against professional bodyguards. Her life was her only bargaining chip.
She hoped desperately they wouldn’t risk her death on these premises.
“My boss said suicide threats are useless,” the assistant stated with programmed precision. “If you go willingly, you’ll suffer less.”
Farrah’s heart plummeted, her fingers quivering around the knife’s handle.
The bodyguards‘ expressions revealed they considered her threat empty.
“I told you to stay back!” Farrah shouted, pressing the blade harder against her skin.
The knife bit into her flesh, drawing a thin crimson line that trickled down her neck.
The assistant’s impassive facade cracked momentarily, his eyes widening at the sight of blood. “Everyone, halt!” he commanded sharply.
“Let me leave,” Farrah demanded, maintaining her dangerous position
“Regardless of where you flee, this matter is concluded,” the assistant stated flatly. “The boss’s decisions remain

incontestable.”
Farrah tightened her grip. “Just allow me to walk out of here.”
she harbored no illusions Felipe would eventually locate her wherever she went. But she desperately needed
this chance
“Either I leave feely, or I’ll sever my carotid artery right now,” Farrah interrupted, her voice surprisingly steady.
“Don’t be rash. I’m contacting Mr. Yates immediately,” the assistant replied, retrieving his phone while simultaneously signaling the bodyguards with his other hand.
Farrah watched him intently, maintaining her vigilance.
Yet despite her alertness, the bodyguards‘ sudden lunge caught her unprepared.
They wrenched the knife from her grasp with practiced efficiency. Because she’d been pressing it against her skin, the blade sliced deeper into her neck as they pulled it away.
Blood flowed more heavily from the wound.
“Tarrah!”
Freya’s voice cut through the chaos, filled with raw concern.
She rushed to Farrah’s side, delivering a precise kick to the approaching bodyguard before examining the bleeding wound.
“Treya…” Fear resonated in Farrah’s voice.
“I’m right here with you,” Freya assured her, though anxiety churned within her as she assessed the injury. “The cut isn’t life–threatening. We need to get you medical attention immediately.”
Without further hesitation, she guided Farrah toward the hospital, her protective stance daring anyone to
interfere
The medical team–familiar faces to Freya–rushed forward as she guided Farrah toward them. “Please disinfect and bandage her wound immediately,” Freya instructed.
“Of course, right away,” one of the doctors responded with evident anxiety. They quickly retrieved a medical kit before escorting Farrah into a private examination room.
Their nervous demeanor betrayed the tension permeating the entire facility as they began treatment.
With Farrah temporarily out of sight, the assistant regained his professional composure, though his wary glances at Freya revealed newfound respect for her capabilities.
He considered a diplomatic approach
Before he could formulate his argument, Freya fixed him with an icy stare. Her patience had evaporated completely, leaving only cold determination behind her words. “Inform Felipe Yates that he should prepare for legal proceedings. And anyone who attempts to touch Farrah again will suffer severe consequences.”
“The Yates Group maintains an extensive legal department. You’re welcome to pursue litigation if you wish,” the assistant replied mechanically, adhering to Felipe’s predetermined talking points. “However, regarding your assault on our security personnel, we might have our own matters to discuss in court, Ms. Briggs.”

“Are you sure?” Freya challenged.
“What uncertainty could possibly exist?” The distinctive sound of a car door slamming punctuated the air as Felipe himself approached from the vehicle. “Beyond what my assistant has mentioned, we could also address your unauthorized entry into my residence and the threat against my personal safety.”
“Perfect–we can simultaneously settle the account of my broken door,” Freya countered, her contempt for him intensifying with each exchange.
