With a pained expression, Cary held her shoulder firmly.
“Ah!” Startled, Raegan screamed, spun around, and landed another kick on him.
The impact sent Cary crashing to the floor with a heavy thud.
Thankfully, Cary had overindulged in a large meal earlier, which left him less agile. If not for that, Raegan might not have been able to overpower him.
Ignoring everything else, Raegan ran for her life. Luckily, they were in a restaurant, and Cary had not set up any guards in a bid to avoid drawing attention.
However, the restaurant was eerily quiet at this hour, especially on this floor. Not a single staff member was in sight.

Trusting on her memory, Raegan sprinted toward the elevator. Her vision started to blur because of the drug she had consumed. She anxiously watched the elevator numbers climbing floor by floor.
“You bitch!” Cary’s sinister sound sent a shiver down Raegan’s spine.
She hadn’t anticipated Cary catching up so quickly!
Raegan had thought she was safe because the restaurant’s security cameras would deter Cary from chasing after her.
But Cary had not only caught up. He was in a disheveled state. His shirt was undone, and his pants were missing. He appeared terrifying.
Raegan realized something was terribly wrong. She was overwhelmed and was feeling defeated as she leaned against the wall. Frantically, she pressed the elevator button, hoping for rescue from whoever might be inside.
Cary, staggering and drooling, slurred angrily, “You thought you could escape? You harmed me! You bitch!”
He then gripped Raegan’s hair and forcefully pulled her back.
“Ah! Let me go!” Raegan clutched her hair and cried out for help, “Help me!”

By sheer coincidence, at that moment, the elevator chimed, “Ding.”
The elevator doors slid open.
Raegan caught sight of weary gray-blue eyes and instantly shouted for help, “Help me! Save me!”
Then, a sharp slap resounded.
Cary angrily threatened, “If you scream again, I’ll kill you!”
Inside the elevator, Darryl leaned against the wall casually with his hands in his pockets. He appeared indifferent. He had no interest in intervening in such a petty issue.
Darryl remembered a previous incident where he had intervened in a couple’s fight. After injuring the man, the woman who initially sought his help turned against him and sued. This led to a year of ridicule from his friends.
Since then, he vowed never again to meddle in others’ affairs.
At that moment, Cary was pulling Raegan toward a corner of the corridor. Raegan’s pleas for help grew fainter.
