Chapter 1350:
Linsey clenched her jaw and forced out, “Three grand. Does that sound fair?”
Delight flickered across Edmond’s face. His thumb caressed the back of her hand, and he added, “Absolutely!
You're adorable, and | bet you'd be even more charming in private. I'll throw in another two grand.”
“That's very generous of you, sir. Please let go now,” Linsey responded, masking her disgust.
Trusting her response, Edmond immediately let her go.
Without missing a moment, Linsey’s hand shot up, delivering a hard slap right across his cheek.
The slap rang out like a gunshot, echoing through the corridor as Linsey’s hand met Edmond’s cheek with brutal
force, sending his glasses flying from his face. “You disgusting pervert!” she spat, her voice trembling with rage
as her whole body quivered.
Edmond stood there, stunned and disoriented, eyes bulging in disbelief. For a moment, he looked less like a man
and more like a grotesque statue, frozen in place.

his features. But before he could retaliate, he realized—she was gone.
Edmond was enraged, his chest heaving violently, his round belly jiggling with every breath as if it might detach
and roll away. Never in his life had he been humiliated like this—and he refused to let it go. Without hesitation,
he took off after her.
Panicked, Linsey darted through the unfamiliar corridor, her sense of direction scattered by fear.
But she wasn’t fast enough. In mere moments, Edmond, fueled by fury and moving with unexpected agility,
closed the distance between them. Spotting her up ahead, he wheezed between curses, “Keep running. Let's see
how far you get, you ungrateful little bitch! You'll regret this!”
Linsey’s breath hitched. Her legs burned, but she couldn't stop—not now. She backed away, eyes wide with
terror. “Don’t cany closer! I'll scream—I'll call for help!”

“Go ahead and scream,” he sneered, his drunken grin stretching wider. “Call the police if you want. No one’s
gonna save you.”
If only she could call the police. But her phone was back at the dinner table. She had only stepped away to use
the restroom—how could she have known she would be followed?
Now, she was overwhelmed by regret and fear.
Desperation surged. She clenched
her fists and screamed Help Piéase!
