When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 395

CHAPTER 395 HOW SHOULD I TAKE REVENGE ON HIM?

The man then leaned closer toward the dark-skinned man and whispered in his ear, whereas the latter froze upon listening to him. Since he had a dark complexion, it was hard to read his expression in the dim room, but he was wide-eyed upon hearing the news, a dead giveaway that he was in shock. The next moment, he stood on his feet.

"What's the matter, Jack?" Chandler asked.

The dark-skinned man stared at Chandler. "Our business has come to a halt, and we have lost everything!"

Upon hearing that, Chandler's expression turned solemn. "How could that happen?!"

"It's Leo." Jack waved his hand and signaled his man to leave. His gaze darkened as he exclaimed, "I told you not to go up against Leo, but you refused to listen!"

The startled Chandler took a step back. As his legs hit the couch, he toppled and fell onto it. "Leo? How is that possible?" A minute ago, he was still judging and looking down on Leo, but now, he found out that the man had stabbed him in the back.

"All of the distribution channels which we have worked so hard to build up have now been crippled. They will start checking and seizing our accounts in no time. We are done for!" Jack roared in dismay and scratched his head. "I regret listening to your nonsense!"

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Chandler couldn't bring himself to believe that it was true. "Jack, you must be joking, but it's not funny at all!"

"Why would I be joking about something like this?" Jack glared at him.

Before Chandler could speak, the door was once again flung open. Several men rushed in and charged toward Chandler. In just a few seconds, the wine glass slipped from Chandler's hand and shattered as it hit the ground. His hands were tied behind his back.

"Jack, what are you doing?" Chandler stared at Jack puzzledly as he struggled to break free.

"Are you asking me that? You created this mess, so I'll have to sacrifice you to solve this issue!"

"You…" Chandler couldn't believe his ears. "We have been working together for so many years and even went through thick and thin together. How could you…"

"Indeed, we've gone through a lot together. However, you are also the one who destroyed all of what we have achieved thus far. Have you already forgotten about it?" Jack gritted his teeth as he spoke. "How many times have I reminded you not to cause any trouble? Yet, you never listen! It's all your fault now that we have lost everything. Don't you think you should be held responsible for it?"

"What are you trying to do?" Chandler's expression was pale.

"Of course, I'll be handing you over to Leo. You'll have to plead for forgiveness in front of him." With that, Jack heartlessly waved his hand, and Chandler was brought out of the room by a few men.

…

Amelie had been busy the whole day, and her work finally ended at 5.00PM. Just as she was about to check whether Steven and Bria had gone home, her phone suddenly rang.

As soon as Amelie took her phone out, she saw that it was a call from Bria's teacher. She was rather surprised to receive the call, but she answered it nonetheless. "Hello?"

"Miss Dillon, something bad has happened. Bria and her grandfather were badly injured after being hit by a car. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible!" The teacher sounded anxious.

Amelie was petrified after hearing that. Her hands were shaking as she replied in a quavering voice, "H-How did it happen?"

"I have no idea. The hospital contacted us after seeing her school badge. You should hurry over." The teacher then gave the hospital's address to Amelie.

Amelie had no time to think about anything else and hurried out with the phone in her hand. Her heart pounded at the thought of Steven and Bria being injured in a car accident. As soon as she got into the car, she realized that she didn't know where the hospital was and immediately entered the address into the navigation system. It showed that the hospital was located in a suburb far away from Bria's school.

However, due to the urgency, she didn't have time to think about why Steven and Bria would be somewhere that far, and all she wanted was to see them as soon as possible. She sped along the way and even ran a few red lights. The journey would normally take at least an hour, but she managed to get there in 40 minutes. After parking her car outside the hospital, she started running toward the building.

However, she suddenly stopped halfway. Something's wrong!

She looked around the quiet street, as well as the tall yet empty hospital in the distance. The next moment, she realized that she had been tricked. The huge hospital and the roads around it were barren; only a few scrap cars were parked there.

This wasn't how a normal hospital should look—it was empty.

As she thought about it, she started walking toward her car. At the same time, she started dialing Steven's number. Before she could do so, something slammed onto her hand, and the phone fell to the ground. When she lifted her head and was about to retaliate, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck and turned weak before collapsing…

As she experienced drowsiness, she heard a loud, incessant buzzing sound in her head that wouldn't go away. It felt as if her head was going to explode, and she started getting a migraine. She opened her eyes, but all she saw was darkness.

Suddenly, a ray of light shone through from a corner, and the bright light worsened her migraine. She wanted to massage her temples but soon realized that her hands had been tied. Following that, she realized that she was lying on the cold, rough ground which hurt her skin.

"You're smarter than I thought you'd be." A voice rang next to her ears. Although it sounded alright, it hurt her ears. She turned around, and her eyes met with a pair of deep, evil ones.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The next moment, the clicking sound of a lighter was heard in the huge empty space, and blue flames shot out not far from her. As the blue flame flickered, it outlined the blurred face which graduallyCopyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

became clearer. The evil eyes, slanted lips, and huge grin were very disturbing.

"Chandler? Amelie was surprised after recognizing him.

He was holding the lighter in his hand and clicking it nonstop. "Yes, it's me."

"What are you trying to do?" she asked while looking at him.

"Try guessing." He smiled wickedly.

Hearing that, she pursed her lips and didn't respond to him. She had known he was an obnoxious person, but she didn't know he was that insane.

"Wise women sure are something else." He was impressed at how she remained calm and silent.

"The police will find out that you've captured me, and it won't do you any good." In reality, Amelie was nervous, but she knew that being nervous wouldn't solve the problem. "You can let me know if you need anything, and I'll try my best to fulfill you." She tried to persuade him.

"Do you think that I'm afraid of the cops?" He didn't answer her question. "Let me tell you the truth; I just escaped from my gang. Leo ruined everything, and they turned against me because of that. They decided to send me over to Leo as an exchange." He spoke so nonchalantly that it sounded like he was talking about a fictional movie.

However, Amelie gasped after hearing it. Given the situation, Chandler would be so desperate that he would do anything, and she didn't dare imagine what he was capable of doing. The next moment, something cold was placed against her face. She instantly realized that it was a knife when she felt its

sharp edge against her face.

Being a woman, she refused to have a scar on her face, so when the knife was held against her, her body froze as she held her breath. Her gaze was downward as she stared at the knife.

Following that, the knife glided over to her eye. "How do you think I should take revenge on him for all that he has done to me?"

Amelie was quiet and didn't answer him.
