What a vindictive woman! It was Lila who had asked her out to dinner.
She should‘ve taken revenge on her, and only her! “Fuck that bitch! She should go to hell! Fuck!” Jeff cursed in a low
voice.However, an inmate overheard him.
“Jeff Gillian! Who the fuck are you cursing? I think someone needs to be taught a lesson...” Jeff was a short and thin man—the
perfect type of many of the gay inmates, or just bullies.
Jeff shrank into the corner, too scared to breathe.Just then, a prison guard strode into his cell and dragged him to his feet.
“Jeff Gillian, pack up your things.You will be released next week.”
“Are you sure it‘s me, Jeff Gillian? Not Jeff Willy or Jeff Smith?” Jeff was so shocked that he blurted these things without
thinking.He had been in prison for only two months.How could he get out so soon? Clamping his hand over his mouth, he didn‘t
dare to say another word.The joy of getting out quickly dispelled his doubts.On the day he was released, no one cto pick
him up.
When he returned to the apartment where he and his parents had lived before, he heard from his neighbors that his parents had
sold the apartment and moved back to the countryside.
Ever since Jeff was put in jail, there had been a group of thugs coming to harass Glenn and Eva every day until they were forced
to move.
Jeff threw a fit on the spot.He knew that damned bitch Natalie was behind this! With Eva and Glenn gone, Jeff had no money
and no place to live.He could only turn to his friends.
However, when his friends saw him, they all avoided him as if he was a plague.
“Jeff, leave us alone.The Whites have warned everyone in town that anyone who‘s close to you and your family will be their
enemy, too.” Jeff was exasperated.
He had nothing now.And it was all because of the fucking Whites and their fucking daughter.
“You fucking assholes!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Before he left, he begged his friends for one last favor, “If you see Natalie White, call me.That bitch! I will beat the crap out of
her!”
“Fine, fine.”
Jeff‘s friends were all thugs.
Since Jeff wanted to take revenge on Natalie, they were interested in seeing a good show.
Anyway, they had nothing to lose.
*******
Ever since Charis had managed to get Jeff out of prison, she had secretly kept an eye on him.
Somehow, he had gotten the address of the company Natalie worked for.He had lurked outside w Marks Stuever since, but
he hadn‘t had a chance to make a move.
Charis couldn‘t wait any longer.
That weekend, she tipped Jeff off through his street friends about Natalie‘s whereabouts, who was out shopping with Elizabeth.
While Jeff did ask his friends to tell him if Natalie ever showed up, he didn‘t expect the news to cso soon.He had bought a
bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid to permanently disfigure Natalie‘s face and skin.
Finally, the opportunity to strike came.
After finding out Natalie‘s whereabouts, Jeff headed straight to the shopping mall with the bottle of sulfuric acid.
Over the past couple of weeks, things hadn‘t been going too well for Natalie.
What Lila had done really left a mark on her.
Noticing that Natalie looked a little frustrated, Elizabeth invited her to go shopping that weekend to get her mind off of things.
Elizabeth, who seldom even talked to others, suddenly invited her to hang out, so Natalie found herself unable to refuse.
Compared with Seacisco, the malls in Barnes were more accessible and down to earth.
On holidays and even weekends, there would be all kinds of interesting events held in the shopping malls.
As soon as they stepped inside the mall, Natalie saw throngs of people bustling about.
Elizabeth was tall and fashionable, while Natalie was incredibly pretty and petite.
The two women with vastly different styles soon attracted people‘s attention.
Natalie looked around in search of any store she‘d be interested in.
Suddenly, her eyes landed on a man with a sunken face among the crowd.It was Jeff.
When did he get out of prison? Before Natalie could figure it out, she saw that Jeff was holding a bottle of pale yellow liquid.
He glared at her with a ferocious look, like a wild beast eyeing its prey.
“Bitch, go to hell!” As he spoke, he pushed through the crowd and rushed at Natalie.
But before he could open the bottle of sulfuric acid, a group of men in black suddenly emerged and tackled him to the ground.
Seeing this, the crowd burst into an uproar and scattered like mice.Amidst the chaos, the bottle of sulfuric acid was thrown to the
ground and shattered.The liquid made a sizzling sound, steaming in the air and emitting a horrible smell.
“Who the fuck are you? Let go of me, you bastards!” Jeff‘s head was forcibly pressed down to the ground by the men in black.
He pounded the floor with his fists and craned his neck to glare at Natalie with hatred.Just then, a man in a grey tracksuit and a
black baseball cap emerged from behind the men in black.
With his chin slightly raised, Sebastian glanced at his men and said, “Take him away.”
Natalie was still in a state of shock.She walked up to Sebastian and asked doubtfully, “I thought Jeff was supposed to be in
prison?
How‘d he get out so soon?”
“Stago, a prison guard informedthat he had been released in advance.”
When Sebastian found out about this, he too was confused.It seemed that someone was taking action behind the scenes.
Sebastian didn‘t act on it until now because he knew that there had to be someone powerful behind the curtain.
Besides, whoever was behind Jeff‘s release was probably the sperson who had orchestrated the parachute incident.He
hadn‘t been able to find who this mastermind was, and now, he had the chance.
Thus, Sebastian didn‘t take any action but monitored Jeff in secret.
As soon as Jeff was about to strike again, he caught him.
“Don‘t worry, honey.You can continue shopping with your friend.The bodyguards will protect you.” Sebastian‘s expression
softened as soon as he was with his wife.He touched Natalie‘s hair gently and then turned around to leave.Still in a daze, Natalie
glanced at the bubbling yellow liquid on the ground with lingering fear.
