Deadly Doting Marriage - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

The hooligan was really strong. With just a kick, Kathleen felt an agonizing pain on her stomach.

She felt as if ten thousand scorching blades stabbed her, and it hurt so much that she laid directly on the ground.

“Does that hurt?” The hooligan pinched Kathleen’s chin, forcing her to look at the smug grin on his ugly face. “This is just the beginning! Brothers, continue attacking!”

As soon as he finished his words, the rest of the men started to hit Kathleen violently.

Kathleen was lying on the floor. Her face, her shoulders, her stomach, as well as her legs were beaten up by the hooligans.

At this moment, there was only the sound of them beating her up with rods echoing in the dark alley.

Kathleen’s face was as white as a sheet. She clenched her teeth hard, not making any sound, and curled up into a ball…

The leader moved his arms and looked at her from above. “This is just a small lesson for you. If you still dare to provoke Ms. Millan, you’ll suffer more than just a simple beating!”

After saying that, the hooligans burst into laughter. Then, they swaggered away.

Kathleen lay on the floor, tightening her grips.

When she heard them mentioning Ms. Millan, her injured lips broke into a sneer…

Realizing that the hooligans were gone, Kathleen tried to stand.

However, just as she moved, she felt agonizing pain all over her limbs and bones.

Then, everything in front of her went blurry, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Not long after, she fell to the ground and fainted.

“Ahh! There’s someone here!” A female passerby saw Kathleen lying on the floor, and she was so frightened that her face was ashen.

Other people from not far away heard her screams, and they all came to look at Kathleen.

“Blood! There’s blood everywhere! Hurry and call the ambulance!”

Nobody knew who shouted that, but the passersby hurriedly called for an ambulance.

Not long after, the sound of an ambulance siren could be heard.

A few nurses got out of the vehicle. Then, after asking the passersby what happened, they carried Kathleen onto the stretcher and rushed toward the hospital.

On the other hand, not long after the several hooligans left, a bunch of men in black suits appeared in front of them.

When the thugs saw the people in front of them, they could not help but retreat, and they panicked.

“Who… Who are you?”

The leading man in a black suit looked at them and scoffed, “You won’t have the chance to know our names!”

Then, he waved his hands, and four men walked toward him. After that, they efficiently dragged the hooligans into the van.

The van drove unhurriedly, and soon they reached the seashore.

When the driver stopped the car, the few bodyguards carried four big sacks out of the vehicle.

“Help! Help me!” The hooligans’ screams could be heard from the sacks.

Nonetheless, the bodyguard in black could not care less about them. Then, he lifted his foot and kicked the sacks with the hooligans in them into the ocean.

Nobody knew how long had passed, but the bodies tied in the sacks floated.

Half of their bodies were floating on the surface, and the other half were trapped in the sacks. Moreover, their faces were so bloated and distorted. Nevertheless, it did not take long before they caught the attention of those on the beach.

“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhhh! There are corpses in the ocean!”

When a passerby saw the scene, she could not help but shriek at the top of her lungs.

Then, someone took out their phone with trembling hands, calling 110…

At the Lambert Group.

John had just finished a meeting, and he was back in his office when Karl hurriedly went to him, whispering in his ears.

“What did you say? Kathleen was attacked?” John’s expression turned unsightly. “Ready the car. We’re going to the hospital!”

Karl immediately called the driver.

When John reached the lobby, the driver just arrived at the Lambert Group’s entrance.

As soon as he saw John, he quickly greeted, “Mr. Lambert!”

“To the hospital!”

Noticing John’s cold expression, the driver dared not to ask anything, and he drove as fast as he could to the hospital.

The car reached the hospital entrance, and John got out of the vehicle. Then, he strode toward the building.

Karl was right beside him, muttering softly, “Mr. Lambert, Kathleen is in ward 202!”

Hearing that, John nodded and hurried to the second floor, entering ward 202.

He pushed open the door and was greeted with an empty ward. There was only Kathleen, who was lying in bed on an IV drip.

John approached her and saw her face.

The rims of her eyes were beaten and bruised, and half of her face was so swollen that it was terrifying. She looked horrifying.

Then, John lifted her cover and opened her sleeves. When he realized that both of her arms were grabbed forcefully by someone, his obsidian eyes suddenly narrowed.

The rage in his chest was burning, and veins were popping on John’s arms.

“Go and find out what happened. Now! I want to know who dared to lay a hand on my people!”

Karl dared not waste any time, so he immediately nodded and answered, “Yes, Mr. Lambert! I’ll investigate it now!” After saying that, he left the ward.

Karl was really efficient. Less than half an hour later, John received his call.

“Mr. Lambert, Ms. Yates was attacked by hooligans from Hillford’s South City… However, these men did not have grudges against Ms. Yates, so it’s possible that someone bribed them!”
