Chapter 62 A Kick in the Face
Chapter 62 A Kick in the Face
Natalie silently turned off the phone.
Although she had suddenly gotten 10,000 followers, she did not think it was a big deal.
But she found the rumor that Owen was as popular as a movie star turned out to be true because most of her new followers were female.
Fortunately, when she registered her account, she had filled male in the gender column. Moreover, her account name QTM did not sound feminine either.
Natalie got off the subway at the city center. She had said she would go shopping today, so she came to MAX Mall. But when standing in the huge music plaza, she felt a little confused, not knowing what to buy. After all, she had a lot of clothes, shoes, and bags at home.
Glancing at the ice cream shop, she tried to restrain her urge because she did not want to admit that she was a foodie. Three minutes later, she had ice cream in her hand. But before she could take a bite, someone bumped into her and knocked her ice cream off to the ground.
Before she could say anything, the person hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry!"
The voice sounded familiar!
So, Natalie asked with a frown, "Maggie?"
"Nat, why are you here?"
Maggie could hear Maggie's breathing unsteady, so she guessed the latter was scared by something.
Therefore, she asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Someone is following me!" Maggie was wearing a mask and said in a muffled voice, "I have to get rid of them."
After finishing speaking, she immediately ran toward the underground parking lot.
Natalie stretched out a hand and said, "Wait!"
Since someone was following her, she should run to an open and crowded place instead of an underground parking lot! What a fool!
Natalie felt worried, so she caught up with her, grabbed her hand, and said, "Let's go to a crowded place!"
"No, I don't want to be photographed." Maggie said, "If I am photographed like this, they will put the photos on the internet and slander me."
Hearing this, Natalie remembered Maggie was a star.
Recently, her new drama had been broadcast and received a lot of negative comments. Many netizens scolded her for wasting resources and said she the shame of the entertainment industry, asking her to quit acting. Natalie had been too busy these days, so she had not paid attention to it.
"My car is in the parking lot, and I will hide in it." Maggie firmly said, "Nat, don't worry about me. You go!"
Natalie refused, "No!"
She must not stay out of it when knowing Maggie was in trouble. After all, if anything happened to Maggie, the entire Ramsey family would blame her.
Natalie grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go to your car together and call the police!"
"We can't call the police." Maggie said, "If Grandpa knows about it, he will force me to quit acting right away!"
Natalie was speechless.
While talking, they arrived at the underground parking lot.
Maggie pressed the car key and looked around for her car because she forgot where she had parked it.
Natalie calmly comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, think carefully. Which area did you park it in?"
"Area G! Let's go!"
But after they took only two steps, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them, blocking the way.
"Maggie!"
When the young man in the peaked cap suddenly raised his head, they saw a cold light flashing in his narrow eyes.
"Who are you?"
Maggie was so nervous that her hand holding Natalie's arm was trembling.
"Someone hired me to teach you a lesson!"
What the hell? How bold that person was! Maggie was the heroine of this novel.
When Natalie was deep in thought, the young man was approaching them.
Both the two women looked thin, so he believed he could handle them easily. He soon took out an iron rod from his waist while walking toward them step by step. Maggie made a quick decision, shook off Natalie's hand, and said in a faint voice, "Let's run separately."
Natalie pushed her and said, "I'll count to three, and you will run to your car."
"OK!"
"Don't go the wrong way."
She was still worried about Maggie.
Maggie bit her lower lip and said, "I... won't!"
"One! Two! Three!"
They decisively ran in different directions.
After being stunned for a while, the man immediately chased after Maggie.
The second floor of the underground parking lot was huge and empty. MAX Mall was a high-end shopping mall, so there were few customers. Now, no one else was in the parking lot. "Come out! I know where you are!"
Hearing this, Maggie shivered with fear behind a car.
"I found you!" The young man let out a wretched laugh and said, "When I catch you, you will be finished."
He then approached the car step by step.
"Hey, man!"
Suddenly, someone called him from behind. When he turned around, he saw the girl who had been with Maggie just now.
He wielded the iron rod and said, "Mind your own business. Otherwise, I'll also teach you a lesson."
Natalie shook her head, "I don't want to help her. I saw her."
While speaking, she winked at Maggie, telling her to get in her car right away.
"Where is she?"
Natalie looked over his shoulder and replied, "She is behind you."
Hearing this, the man instantly turned around, but he did not see anyone.
Now, Maggie had arrived in the gap between the wall and the passenger seat, hiding well.
"F*ck you! Ah!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded in the underground parking lot.
Natalie had twisted two thin metallic chains of her bag into a bundle and lashed the young man hard in the face without blinking her eyes. And her attack was forceful, fast, and precise, aiming at his eyes.
The young man immediately dropped the rod, covered his eyes with both hands, and rolled all over the ground in pain. And his screams sounded particularly horrifying in the empty parking lot. "Get in the car!" Natalie said in a deep voice.
After Maggie tremblingly climbed into the passenger seat, Natalie also ran toward the car.
"Be careful!" Maggie shouted in horror.
When the man lying on the ground reached out to grab Natalie's leg, she dodged his hand. So, he took out a dagger with his other hand and tried to stab her.
Natalie moved sideways, but the sharp blade still hurt her calf, and she heard flesh splitting.
Regardless of the pain, she kicked him in the face so hard that he passed out.
Natalie quickly got into the driver's seat and said, "Fasten your seat belt!"
Maggie asked, "Are you driving?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Natalie stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car shot out.
It was a nice car with powerful engines!
When the car was running to the exit on the first floor, they suddenly saw a white light coming over. A car was rushing toward them!
Natalie swerved sharply, and the tires brushed against the ground hard, making a harsh sound. Then, their car made a turn and ran away when it was only a few centimeters away from that weird car. But the weird car quickly turned around and followed up. Their target must be Maggie.
Maggie leaned back on the passenger seat with a pale face, feeling dizzy.
She had also seen the car behind, so she said, "That car is following us!"
Natalie calmly said, "Don't worry. We will get rid of it."
She then slammed the accelerator and rushed to the main road. It was the green light ahead, so she kept stepping on the accelerator, intending to pass the crossroad quickly.
Suddenly, a huge truck rushed toward them from the left, honking harshly!
Maggie clutched the armrest with a bloodless face. And her teeth rattled because of the adrenaline rush when she shouted, "Ah! We will have a crash!"
