NovelApexChapter 1222:
Linsey met his fury with icy indifference, waving him off like an annoying fly. “Get lost. Keep hassling me, and I'll
have the cops here in five minutes.”
The man wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. Instead, he let out a mocking laugh at her threat. “Fine,” he
sneered, his grip tightening around her wrist as he yanked her toward him. “Let's see if | can get you naked
faster than you can dial 911.”
Linsey fought against his grabbing hands, her voice rising in desperation as she turned to the bartender. “Call
the police! This creep is assaulting me!” The bartender acted as if he hadn't heard a word, keeping his eyes fixed
on the drinks he was mixing.
This man was a regular fixture at the bar, notorious for preying on women. Countless others had fallen victim to
his advances, but his connections ran deep enough that no one dared intervene.
When it becclear no help was coming, Linsey decided to handle things herself.
Just as the man’s filthy hands reached for her chest, Linsey seized an empty bottle from the counter and brought
it crashing down on his skull with every ounce of strength she possessed.

you just standing there? Go get that crazy bitch!”
“R-right!” Scrambling out of their shock, the lackeys scattered in pursuit.
With alcohol clouding her steps, Linsey could barely keep herself upright as she made her escape. “Stop right

Hearing their voices growing louder behind her made her stomach twist. She forced herself to move faster, her
lungs burning. But her foot clipped a table leg, and her unsteady frpitched forward, sending her crashing
toward the floor.
Before she could hit the ground, an arm swooped around her waist, steady and firm. She landed hard against
someone's chest, her breath catching in her throat. A moment passed before it dawned on her—she was
practically sitting in a man’s lap. Jolted by surprise, she sprang up as though burned.
Spinning around, Linsey took in her rescuer’s face.
As she locked eyes with him amidst the chaos, recognition flashed across her features, and she blurted out,
“Collin... How did you end up here?”
