Chapter 82 Godsent

I struggled to get up, but the men held me down. I fought them desperately, but the more I struggled, the weaker I felt. Glant, grimy hands reached out and ripped my t-shirt. My body trembled, and I cried in despair, "Get away... Help me..."

Although I screamed, I was too drained to resist. The men were like savage wolves, and they ignored my

pleas.

One large man had already undone my jeans, and another was pulling them down.

Suddenly, the door burst open with a deafening crash. I knew someone had arrived. Desperately, I cried, " Help me..."

There was another loud noise, as if the entire room were shaking.

"Let go of me... Help!" I screamed as I clawed at the hands holding me.

Then, I heard a voice.

'Chloe, don't be scared. It's me!" Strong arms enveloped me, offering solace. I sobbed, and the familiar voice whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'm here!"

I clung to him, feverishly whispering, "Hold me. Please don't leave..."

Atlas quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around me. Then he lifted me and said, "I'm taking you to the hospital."

"No... Help me..." I murmured. My body writhed as though bitten by ants, and it was unbearable.

I pressed up against his body. His warmth was enticing, and I desperately entangled myself with him. Save me...

He moved my hands away and wrapped his clothes around me, so I couldn't move. Then he carried me outside. When I woke up, my mind was much clearer. I found myself in a hospital bed with an IV hooked to my hand Alles was sitting by my bedside. Blushing at the memory of my earlier vulnerability, I avoided his gaze. He looked at me with a meaningful smile when he saw I was awake. I told you I'd never take advantage n you're vulnerable. Only when you're sober and willing

I rolled my eyes. "Could you be less shameless? That was an abnormal situation. It's so embarrassing!"

He laughed loudly, and his brilliant smile was breathtaking.

"How'd you know I was there?" I asked, looking at him. He had been a godsend.

He declared, "The heavens sent me to rescue you! So, don't question it."

"I want to know!"

"Well, you called me, but then you hung up. And you went to that place when it was closed. Did that sound

normal?"

I closed my eyes in relief. "Thank goodness I made that call."

"Why'd you hang up then?"

I looked at him, and tears rolled down my cheeks. "Because they were investigating you! I didn't want to get you into trouble."

Atlas brushed it off and said, "Let them investigate all they want!"

I sniffed. "Thanks for saving me again!"

He wiped away my tears with his slender fingers. "You're so naive. It's because you underestimated them!”

"I didn't expect them to be so cruel. I didn't want to resort to extreme measures, but they left me no choice," I said fiercely. "I won't start trouble, but since they provoked me, I won't hold back."

After what had happened, I trusted Atlas completely and shared Matthew's plan with him. Melanie herself had provided me with the best counterattack strategy.

Chapter 83 Malicious Intent

I was finally done with my IV drip. However, before I could ask Atlas to head back, Ivanna burst into the

room.

"Chlo, what's going on..."

Her words trailed off as she noticed Atlas in the room. She fixed her gaze intensely on him with a strange. look.

I could tell what she was thinking, so I quickly changed the topic. "Why'd you come back so quickly?"

Atlas replied instead, "When you were unconscious, she called to check on you out of concern. I told her you were indeed in trouble."

"So, you're the one who answered the call!" Ivanna looked at him with curiosity. "Can you tell me who you

are?"

I blushed as briefly introduced Atlas to Ivanna. They exchanged polite handshakes, and Ivanna asked, "Is that his jacket?"

I nodded silently.

Then I turned to Atlas and told him Ivanna would take me back. Atlas gave me some instructions before we left the hospital room.

Ivanna started questioning me about the whole incident. After I told the story, Ivanna was furious and asked why I had not turned my lunatic sister-in-law over to the police. After all, I had evidence.

That would be too easy on her!" I said calmly, "I need to force her to face the life she should have lived, to know what it's like to struggle. Then she can think about her actions."

I asked Ivanna to drop me off at the office instead of the Murphy Residence. It seemed more appropriate. Then, I called the Murphy family members and had them all come to Matthew's office. Before leaving the car, Ivanna asked, "Are you sure you'll be okay alone?"

Don't worry! I'll be fine," I reassured her.

However, as soon as I walked away, Ivanna hurriedly followed me. "I think I'd better stay with your
