18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 273

A flirtatious voice echoed, followed by a slender figure stepping out, "Mom, who's making a racket outside?"

Dressed in pre-apocalypse luxury couture, Julia looked bright and captivating, like a carefully nurtured flower in a greenhouse. Stella instantly snapped to attention and pushed Tracy aside. Tracy, in her high heels, nearly toppled over from the shove.

Seeing the battered servant, Julia quickly understood the situation and instinctively backed into the house. But Stella was quicker. She grabbed Julia by the hair and dragged her outside.

Julia let out a piercing shriek, "Let go of me, you lunatic! Help, help!"

Startled, Tracy tried to follow but twisted her ankle.

Stella, ignoring Julia's screams, dragged her all the way back to unit 50. Without a word, she shoved Julia against a door smeared with filth.

Julia, who had grown up pampered and protected, had never encountered such filth. The filth was still wet and it clung to her, her hands, her precious dress, everywhere. The stench was overpowering, causing her to retch.

As she tried to get up, Stella kicked her, pressing a foot onto Julia's face.

Half of Julia's face was pressed against the filthy door, smeared all over. Any struggle made it worse, getting it in her mouth and nose.

"You like throwing filth, do you?" Stella sneered, her foot pressing down on Julia's attractive face, "Since you like it so much, you're not leaving until you've licked this door clean."

Weeping and retching, Julia cursed Stella, "What the hell do you want, you crazy woman?"
