Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 751:noveldrama

“Honey,” Kern pleaded. He was so shaken that he had broken out in a cold sweat. But whatever he wanted to say was drowned out by cries as the women rushed to attack.

They pounced on Rachel from all directions. They cursed at her while shoving her, and even when she fell to the floor, they didn’t let up.

Pain shot through Rachel’s ankle, and though she tried to endure it, she couldn’t ignore the sudden, sharp pain on her scalp.

They had grabbed her by the hair and were pulling mercilessly like crazed chimpanzees.

Rachel felt dizzy, the pain fighting through her bones. Insults and other degrading words rained upon her, echoing in her mind.

Then, she thought she heard Kern call out to someone in the corridor, “Hurry, hurry!”

Soon, he appeared in Rachel’s view, and behind him was a team of security guards.

They wasted no time pulling everyone away from Rachel, finally allowing her to breathe again. The situation vaguely reminded her of the time she had narrowly escaped death.

The old version of herself would have been terrified, but she had already been reborn into a warrior.

Swallowing the pain coursing through her body, she propped herself up with one hand on the floor and the other on a nearby chair.

Kern was horrified to see her in such a state. He staggered toward her, his face as white as a sheet. “Miss Marsh! Oh my, please let me help you.”

But Rachel pushed him away with a piercing glare, causing him to shrink back.

“Don’t forget that you’re the cause of all of this. I have no need for your phony sympathy.”

She stood up on her own, tidying her clothes. She tucked her messy hair behind her ears, revealing the bright red marks on her face. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she said, “I’m sure the security cameras caught evidence of your assault on me. I warned you not to mess with me, but you didn’t listen. Now, you will regret it. Wait for the authorities to contact you. You’ll be summoned to the police station soon enough.”

With that, she strode out of the room with her chin held high.

This time, no one made a move to stop her.

Only Kern rushed after her. “Miss Marsh, please wait. This is all my fault. I’ve been a fool. I hope you can forgive me, just this once. Please, I beg you. Don’t—”

“Save your excuses for the police!” Rachel interrupted him without even glancing back.

Once she was gone, Kern crumpled to the floor. “It’s over,” he repeated under his breath. “It’s all over.”
