Chapter 317 Helpless
Meryl cursed John’s unreliability under her breath, only to hear struggling noises coming from nearby. “Mmm… Mmm…”
Meryl froze, realizing that John had been overpowered by a burly man and had a rag stuffed in his mouth. His hands and feet were bound, and his camera lay shattered on the ground. His situation was almost as dire as hers, if not worse.
Hearing Meryl calling out to him, John struggled with all his might to spit out the rag. “Meryl! The footage we recorded… This guy deleted it all!”
Meryl was shocked. Her face turned pale as she looked at the imposing figure suddenly appearing in the room. She turned to Rocky and asked, “Is he your man?”
Rocky nodded, a smug grin on his face. “Yes, he is. Meryl, let me be honest. I’ve been here for a while. You really underestimated me. The first time in a place like this, how could I not scout the area and come prepared? Did you really think I’d come alone?”
Rocky sneered, “Before you even came in, my man had already climbed over the walls and hid in here. Everything you saw was just a show for you. How could you be so naive?”
Rocky yanked at Meryl’s waist as he spoke, ripping off her jacket.
“You bastard! What are you doing to Meryl? Let her go! Stop touching her!” John shouted angrily, trying desperately to get to Meryl.
But the burly man, Russell Riley, kicked him in the back of the knees, and John fell hard to the ground, kneeling in pain.
Russell then landed a punch on John’s nose, causing blood to gush out. “You better behave yourself!”
Seeing John bleeding, Meryl’s mind went blank. “Tell him to stop! Our grudge is between us. Don’t involve others. Let John go, and I’ll pay you!”
“Now you want to pay? Isn’t it a bit too late? You’ve piqued my interest, and until this fire is put out, I’m not going to be satisfied.” Rocky turned to his companion. “Russell, take that lad next door and keep him out of the way. With you two here, my sister won’t be able to relax.”
With that, Rocky and Russell exchanged a lecherous grin. Russell grabbed John and started to drag him away.
John resisted, cursing furiously. “Let Meryl go, or I’ll kill you! If you try anything, I’ll kill your whole family! Rocky, you bastard!” But with his hands and feet restrained, John could not fight back. His shouts gradually faded into the distance.
Driven by his desires, Rocky wasted no time and ripped off his belt. He eagerly lunged toward Meryl.
Feeling a sudden chill on her neck, Meryl watched in horror as Rocky’s hands tried to slide into her neckline.
Fear drained the color from Meryl’s face. She trembled instinctively, and her heart sank. She had hoped John might protect her, but now he was helpless.
Just then, the floor-to-ceiling window was kicked open from outside. The glass shattered into pieces with a loud crash.
“Who the hell is interrupting my fun?” Rocky shouted angrily, instinctively reaching to pull up his pants.
Before he could even fasten his button, a vicious punch landed squarely on his temple, causing excruciating pain and damaging his eye.
As Rocky instinctively tried to retaliate, his attacker seized him by the neck and slammed his head forcefully into the table.
