CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 368: SCHEMING

Julia rushed up and grabbed Ivana Monroe’s hair, slapping her face repeatedly.

Ivana’s legs couldn’t move, which put her at a disadvantage, completely unable to fight back against Julia. She received several slaps, her face stinging with pain, but she gritted her teeth, refusing to scream.

The bodyguards outside had already encountered trouble. She shouted and yelled, but now, it seemed unlikely anyone would come to rescue her, only provoking Julia further and adding to her joy in beating people.

Hawk was stunned, thinking that this little troublemaker would resist. He didn’t expect her to surprise him by actively running over to slap Ivana.

Hawk took out his phone and snapped a few pictures of Julia slapping Ivana.

This was his habit.

When abusing people, he had a habit of taking pictures for keepsake.

Julia paused, slapping Ivana’s face with her hand until even her palm hurt, tingling and numb. Seeing Ivana’s face turn bright red and start swelling from her blows, she felt extremely delighted.

"You b*tch, seducing my man."

Julia cursed her.

Blood seeped from the corner of Ivana’s mouth. Her eyes were exceptionally calm as she looked at Julia and asked a question that shocked Julia: "Did you send someone to kidnap my son? Is your real goal to lure Leon Keane away to deal with me?"

Julia was stunned, slightly unable to understand what Ivana was saying. Kidnap? Her little brat got kidnapped?

Hahaha... serves her right!

Julia laughed joyfully, eyes full of jealousy. She could never have imagined that every night, Leon Keane would rest in Ivana’s hospital room, otherwise Ivana wouldn’t have mentioned such a plan to draw Leon away.

Julia was smiling outwardly, but crying inwardly: Leon, I was your first love, have you forgotten the things during high school? Leaving you was my mistake, forced upon me by your mother. Why didn’t you wait for me? Why did you choose to be with this wretched woman?

Julia wished she could slash Ivana’s face.

Leon, what do you like about Ivana? Is it because of the child? Or because of Ivana’s seductive face? If it was ruined, would you still like it?

Julia’s gaze was viciously fixed on Ivana’s face, her resolve to destroy it growing ever stronger.

Machete.

Where’s the machete?

Julia casually put the machete down on Ivana’s hospital bed when she came to slap her. She looked down to find the machete.

And discovered... the machete was gone.

Julia saw Ivana’s hands hidden under the blanket. Fearful and furious, she said, "You hid my machete under the blanket? Give it back..."

Julia reached out to yank the blanket away from Ivana, eager to retrieve the machete, her mind filled with thoughts of disfiguring Ivana.

As the blanket was tugged off, Julia saw the machete. At the same time, her pupils constricted sharply when she saw Ivana raise the glowing machete and swing it toward her shoulder.

"Ah~"

Julia let out a terrified scream.

Hawk, holding his phone and ready to take pictures, realized something was wrong. It was already too late. The scene of Ivana slashing Julia was captured on the camera screen.

It shouldn’t have turned out like this!

Hawk took a quick step forward, reaching out to pull Julia away, but it was still a bit late. Ivana’s machete had already cut a bloody gash on Julia’s shoulder.

"It hurts so much~"

Julia came back from the brink of death, belatedly feeling the intense pain in her shoulder. Tears streamed down her face as she glanced at her injured shoulder, nearly fainting from the sight.

A large wound was opened on her shoulder, deep enough to reveal bone, with fresh blood continuously flowing down, staining the black sleeve, trickling down her arm, pooling in her palm, and dripping to the ground.

Julia stared wide-eyed in terror, Ivana was so ruthless! She had merely slapped Ivana a few times, and Ivana used a machete to slash her, almost cutting her neck?

"Ivana, you vile b*tch."

Julia was safe now, but she shouted at Ivana angrily. How could she go back like this? What would she do if Kyle saw this tomorrow?

Kyle shouldn’t be further upset.

Julia hated Ivana to the core, wishing she could cut her into a thousand pieces.

"Kill her... Hawk... kill her... help me kill her." Julia’s face twisted in a mix of anger and pain. Every shout tugged at her wound; the pain was excruciating. She couldn’t hold the machete to attack Ivana herself anymore—only Hawk could. Hawk could help her and kill Ivana.

Hawk looked at Julia as if she were an idiot. Help her kill Ivana? Did this troublesome girl want him to take on murder charges?

Once in his reckless youth, he took on murder charges and ended up in prison, and now he didn’t want to go back again.

Therefore.

Hawk would never help Julia to kill Ivana.

A person who commits many crimes also becomes aware of the law, understanding what can be done and what cannot be done.

"I won’t help you. If you want her dead, do it yourself." Hawk said.

Do it yourself?

Julia took a deep breath, immediately straining her injured shoulder, the pain leaving her breathless.

Tears streamed down as she gritted her teeth and said, "Hawk, if you help me with this favor, I’ll give myself to you for a month. This deal won’t leave you at a loss."

Hawk was also amused.

Was this woman an idiot? Did she really think her body was that valuable?

Valuable enough to take on murder charges?

Hawk didn’t agree, but one of his lackeys jumped in.

"Little girl, I’ll help you kill her, how about giving yourself to me for a month?" The lackey lusted after Julia’s good looks, impulsively making this decision.

"Blackie, are you braindead?" Hawk frowned and shouted a warning.

"Alright, I agree with you." Julia feared that Blackie might back out, so she immediately agreed.

Blackie was extremely pleased, slightly afraid of Hawk, and looked at him pleadingly: "Hawk, please help me out!"

Each visit to a massage parlor cost a lot, and he wasn’t as wealthy as Hawk. Since there was a beauty willing to work for free, why not accept?

Walking this path following Hawk, he’d inevitably encounter murder someday.

"Just don’t regret it." Hawk saw Blackie staring at Julia shamelessly and gave him one last reminder.

"I won’t, I won’t."

Blackie shook his head repeatedly and seeing Hawk silent, he laughed happily, approaching Julia and planting a kiss on her face, his hand reaching to fondle her backside.

It was exceedingly elastic.

Julia was extremely disgusted, barely suppressing her revulsion, tears in her eyes as she looked at Blackie pitifully: "My shoulder hurts a lot, hurry up and kill her."

After speaking, Julia changed her words: "No, don’t kill her completely. Use a knife to ruin her face, turn her into a freak, and spare her life. I want her to become the most disgusting woman in this world."

This would be more satisfying than killing Ivana.

Blackie hesitated and glanced at Hawk.

Because when they came, Hawk said it was to have Julia kill Ivana.

Now Julia’s request was to disfigure Ivana and spare her life.

Hawk nodded. Blackie was his brother. If a murder really occurred, Blackie would end up spending many years in jail. Sparing Ivana’s life would do Blackie no harm.
