Chapter 428: Midnight Call
“Damn it. Bitch, how dare you kick our car? Are you sick of living?”
“Hah, look how skimpy her clothes are. She definitely isn’t a decent woman! You’re a hooker, aren’t you? Why don’t you come with us?!”
“Hehehe, your skin is so soft and tender. It’ll definitely feel nice to touch you!”
...
They started touching Nikki.
“You... What are you people doing?! Hurry and get lost!” Nikki panicked and screamed in horror as she tried to dodge them.
“Hahahaha, what are you pretending to be pure for? I can tell that you’re a hooker! Come have some fun with us!”
They guffawed loudly and forcefully pulled Nikki into the car. Soon, they started the car and drove to a secluded place.
In the car, Nikki struggled desperately with all her might. But as a weak and vulnerable woman, she was absolutely no match for the four burly men.
More than two hours later, near an abandoned construction site...
Nikki’s clothes were all torn, tattered, and strewn across the dirty ground she was lying on.
She stared blankly at the sky for a while before gradually rolling her eyes around as she tried to prop herself up on the ground with her sore and aching arms.
Those thugs had long run away, but the ugly and repulsive traces they had left were still on her body.
What just happened to Nikki was the most disgusting and terrifying nightmare, and the mere thought of it made her nauseous.
She retched.
She immediately turned to the side and threw up.
Only after a while did she reach her hand out to wipe the corners of her lips clean. Her eyes were brimming with icy cold resentment.
“Lucas Gray, Cheyenne Carter! This is all your fault. If it wasn’t for you two, this wouldn’t have happened! I will definitely make you pay for this with your lives!” Nikki gritted her teeth, her face covered in fury.
She stood up and put on her badly ripped dress that barely covered her body and then left this place of nightmares.
——
Both Lucas and Cheyenne were unaware of what had happened to Nikki and her growing resentment toward them.
Lucas drove Cheyenne to the entrance of the Turners’ farmhouse villa.
Since the Turners didn’t welcome him, he could only return to the Waldorf Hotel.
After Lucas said goodbye to Cheyenne and was about to leave, she suddenly called out to him. “Hubby!”
Lucas immediately stuck his head out of the car window and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Cheyenne suddenly inched closer, lowered her head, and kissed Lucas on his lips.
Smooch!
Cheyenne quickly pulled away after the quick peck, and by the time Lucas returned to his senses, she had already scurried away while blushing.
“Ah...”
Before Lucas could say anything, Cheyenne had already shyly hurried into the villa. She exclaimed, “Drive safely! Goodnight!”
Lucas burst into laughter and subconsciously touched his lips with a sweet smile.
During the drive back to the hotel, Lucas’s mood was extraordinarily pleasant, and he even started humming, which was rare for him.
Although it was an eventful day consisting of many unpleasant happenings, his displeasure dissipated as soon as he thought of Cheyenne.
Today, they had attended the antique exhibition and spent an enjoyable afternoon in the amusement park. Later on, he proposed to Cheyenne, and she agreed.
In fact, the incident at the Lion Restaurant just now was a testament of his relationship with Cheyenne.
It was really a joyous day for him!
But upon arriving at the Waldorf Hotel, he received a call from Lena before he could even wash up.
“Lucas, where are you now? Have you returned to the hotel yet?”
Lucas answered, “I just arrived. What’s the matter?”
He thought that Lena might have seen him at the hotel lobby or something and thus called to ask him about it. But he heard the chaotic background noise from her end of the call, which consisted of the sounds of roaring engines and lots of faint laughter.
“Lucas, can you... come to Caldo Mountain now?” Lena sounded hesitant, and she seemed to be pleading.
Lucas immediately frowned. “Did you run into trouble?”
After two seconds, Lena continued saying, “Do you remember that we ran into Tristan Parker at the entrance of Urban Culture this morning?”
Of course Lucas remembered.
Tristan had always presented himself as Lena’s fiancé, and as soon as he saw Lucas and Lena together, he would confront them.
“Did he pester you again?” Although Lucas was asking her this question, he was very certain that Tristan had definitely ignored his warning in the morning and gone to pester Lena again.
“Yes... he said that he needs closure, so he asked me to come to Caldo Mountain. But he asked me to settle it with a match. I don’t have any other friends in LA, so I can only ask you for help...” Lena said in an apologetic tone.
Lucas could tell that she didn’t want to implicate him in her affairs with Tristan, but there was nothing else she could do.
Lucas agreed almost without hesitation. “Okay, send me your location. I’ll rush there now.”
Lena was Cheyenne’s close friend, and she was considered his friend too. Since she was now in trouble, he naturally wouldn’t leave her in the lurch.
Soon, Lena sent her location to Lucas.
Lucas restarted the car and rushed to Caldo Mountain.
Half an hour later, Lucas arrived at where Lena was.
Lucas could already see a bright light at the foot of Caldo Mountain from afar, which was from the headlights of a large group of luxury sports cars and high-end motorcycles.
Lucas pulled over and walked toward them. He saw Lena standing at the front of the crowd and looking around. As soon as she saw Lucas, she immediately walked over to him with a gleeful expression.
“Lucas, you’re here!” Joy and excitement were written all over Lena’s face.
Before Lucas could ask her about the details of the situation, she hugged his arm tightly.
There were many people around, and when they saw Lena’s action, their eyes widened in shock. Some even whistled teasingly, seemingly trying to stir up trouble.
“Lucas Gray!” Tristan suddenly roared and glowered sullenly at Lena, who was holding onto Lucas’s arm. He was glaring daggers at Lucas, seemingly trying to burn off Lucas’s arm, which was now a complete eyesore to him, with his burning gaze!
