Chapter 15 He Must Be In Control (2/2)

d the situation ironic.

After all that she had gone through last night, she was given no chance or time at all to rest and heal herself.

There was a glint of mockery in her smile. She felt wretched and helpless deep inside. But she knew that she had to be brave and repressed whatever she was feeling. Molly then took a deep breath and carried on with great perseverance.

A black MPV passed by her just when she arrived at their rented house. She didn't pay much attention to it, and went into the yard.

Sharon Zhao was weeping and her face looked dreadfully pale when Molly entered the house. Daniel was helping her sit down on the couch and the whole house was in a mess, as if having been ransacked.

”Mom!” Molly hurried to assist Daniel and helped Sharon sit down. While doing this, she noticed a bruise on Daniel's face and asked anxiously,” What happened? ”What's that on your face?”

Daniel bit his lips, and looked away to avoid Molly's eyes. There was hatred and anger in his eyes but he seemed to be reluctant d to explain. He answered briefly,” Dad is in debt again. Those people said that things were screwed up yesterday and they took dad.”

Molly understood what they were referring to at once. In a short silence, she looked at her mother, who was shedding tears, and felt so stressed and hopeless.

”Molly, your dad…” Sharon muttered between sobs. ”Will he be alright? It's all my fault. If it weren't for my medical expense, he wouldn't have…” she pitifully continued.

”Stop, mom!” Molly interrupted her and managed to hold the tears in her eyes. ”Daniel, take care of mom,” she said to her brother.

Molly left resolutely and ignored Daniel's questions behind. She knew what to do.

When Molly showed up again in Exotic Bar, she found Steven, her father, who had pushed her into this endless tragedy. Steven's eyes were all swollen and bruises were all over his face. Apparently, he had been beaten up once again. Seeing this, Molly was overwhelmed by a strong mixed feeling of sadness, anger, and compassion, for her father and herself.

”You said I had ten days!”Molly said, glaring at David.

David puffed his cigarette at Molly's face and squinted. Then he raised a hand and slapped Molly so hard across the face that she was thrown onto the floor by force.

”Hhmmmp!” the sound of Molly heaved on the floor echoed across the room. Molly got completely dizzy, and her tongue tasted the blood in her mouth.

”Damn!” David cursed and spat as he put on a ferocious look. ”Do you know who you're messing with? You damn little whore!” David yelled angrily at Molly.

He raised one of his legs and was about to give Molly a hard kick.But before Molly could even react, someone moved to her front and protected her from being hurt.

”Molly…” Steven uttered. ”Ouch…” he groaned in pain.

Steven huddled in pain as he was hit right in the belly.

”Dad!” Molly cried in agony.

David got irritated by the unexpected scene and spoke loudly in a threatening tone,” Give me the money now, or neither of you is leaving this place!”

In rage, David flicked the ash of the cigarette on Steven. Just then, someone rushed inside in panic.

Catching his breath and with widened eyes, the man reported,” Boss... Mr. Brian Long is here!”

”Which Mr. Brian Long? DA... DAMN...”

David choked out the last word when he saw the man standing beside the door and his face turned incredibly pale all of a sudden.
