Chapter 119 Getting Injured for Her
But suddenly, a few rough-looking guys appeared beside Noah and gave him a shove.
Then, they led Noah into an alley nearby.
Penny took a few steps and had to lean against a tree by the side of the road, gasping in pain.
Worried that Noah might get into a confrontation with those thugs, she gritted her teeth and followed.
In the dark alley, she could hear the sounds of punches, kicks, and curses.
"When are you going to pay up? If you don't, I'll beat you to death today!"
"You bastard made it so hard for us to find you. How dare you run away!"
Penny had just reached the alley entrance when she heard these voices.
She quickly dialed the emergency number and shouted, "Stop!"
The thugs paused, turned their heads, and saw her in a formal dress. One of them whistled and then
slowly approached.
"Hey, beauty! Noah, when did you start hanging out with a beauty like this?"
Noah curled up his body, trying to protect his head as best as possible. He looked up at Penny with
anxiety in his eyes.
"Penny?"
Noah's voice was trembling from the pain. He was trying to stand up, but those kicks had broken
several of his ribs, making it impossible for him to exert strength.
Penny was both angry and frustrated with Noah. He was in his late twenties and still had no decent job.
She couldn't believe he had ended up as a beggar in Chatville!
She was angry and thought about how Philip and Haley would feel if they knew.
But when she saw the thugs approaching, she slowly backed away.
Her leg was still hurting, and she was wearing high heels. As she backed away, her heel caught on a
raised part of the sidewalk, causing her to fall backward.
This wasn't good.
She was probably unable to walk now.
However, the expected pain didn't come. Instead, someone grabbed her waist, and she could feel a
man's calm, distant presence.
Penny slightly raised her head and saw the man's jawline.
She recognized the familiar scent and froze for a moment. After standing up, she quickly distanced
herself.
"Mr. Fletcher."
She exclaimed in surprise and looked up to see Orlando's car parked not far away.
She was wearing this dress, which made her stand out too much. It was hard not to attract attention. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Penny suddenly realized she had walked quite far from her car. She couldn't see her car anymore.
Orlando furrowed his brow upon seeing her in a formal dress walking on the road, trailing behind
several thugs. What was she trying to do?
His expression remained cold, his sharp features showing no signs of a smile. He appeared distant and
unapproachable.
After Penny steadied herself and distanced herself from Orlando, his brow furrowed slightly.
He hadn't initially intended to interfere, but seeing her following those thugs while dressed so alluringly,
he had to wonder what she was up to.
His gaze fell on her attire. She had applied light makeup today, making her eyes appear even brighter.
Her dress accentuated her slender waist, revealing her fair skin that seemed almost dazzling.
Orlando's gaze briefly flickered, and he looked away.
"Why did you come here dressed like this?"
Penny was about to explain when the thugs approached.
"Hey, pretty lady, this isn't right. Why did you bring your man along to see us?"
The thugs' eyes shamelessly roamed over Penny's body. As they came closer, they realized how
stunningly beautiful she was. They had never seen such a beautiful woman in their entire lives.
Penny's face darkened as she glanced at Noah, who was still flinching nearby. She was furious.
Without wasting time, the thugs reached out to touch her, but Orlando intercepted their hands.
Orlando's intervention was swift and precise. He twisted the thug's wrist and kicked him away.
"Mr. Fletcher, watch out."
There were five thugs in total, and Orlando was alone. All Penny could do was protect herself.
However, just seconds after she spoke, she watched in astonishment as all the thugs fell to the ground,
writhing in pain.
Orlando hadn't even broken a sweat, and his appearance indicated that handling them had been
effortless.
Penny was left stunned but didn't have time to say anything as she rushed over to Noah.
"Are you alright?"
As she spoke, she saw a look of terror in Noah's eyes. Then, there was the sound of a knife piercing
flesh.
Penny turned and saw that the dagger had been plunged into Orlando's palm. His hand was shielding
her back, clearly intended to protect her.
The dagger tip had pierced through his palm, and blood was oozing out, making it a gruesome sight.
