Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 350

Colin was always a few paces behind me, close enough to feel safe, yet far enough to give me space.

With him there, I felt a sense of calm inside.

"Slut, stop your act!"

"Ah!"

A scream cut through the air, followed by a man's curse.

The door slammed open and out stormed a guy from Zoe's room, cursing under his breath, "Giving you 200 bucks was already generous."

Zoe's cheeks were swollen, her gaze dazed and confused as she stumbled after him, tears in her eyes, stuttering as if she couldn't get the words out. "Please, it was supposed to be 500, please."

She was begging, her body trembling violently. She seemed desperate for the money.

"Get lost!" The man was losing his patience, shoving Zoe aside. "Damn bad luck, idiot."

Weren't they all taking advantage of an idiot? Everyone else charged 500, but they always shortchanged Zoe with just 200.

"I need the money, I really do, please," Zoe pleaded on her knees, rubbing her hands together, incessantly begging.

I was at the end of the hallway, watching Zoe plead in her foolish way, feeling a discomfort stirring inside me.
