Chapter 140 Kelly Faces Intentional Harm

Darren tensed, stepping protectively in front of Kelly. "Back off, or I'll call the cops."

The man sneered and shoved Darren aside with a laugh, "Who do you think you are? She should consider herself lucky that we're interested in her."

Kelly glanced at the man, her expression hidden behind the steam rising from the barbecue.

"Hey, beautiful, come join us," the drunk man slurred, stumbling toward Kelly.

Darren quickly moved to block him, but the man shoved him again, landing a punch that almost knocked Darren to the ground.

Already drained from sleepless nights and overwork, Darren struggled to remain standing after the blow.

"I'm calling the police!" Melody said sharply, dialing the

number with urgency.

"Hey, sweetheart, how about a drink?" the thug taunted, extending his cup toward Kelly, clearly trying to harass her.

Kelly turned her gaze toward him, then swiftly grabbed his wrist before dipping his hand into a hot fondue pot.

A loud scream echoed through the room as the man yanked his hand back, his face twisted in pain and fury. He tried to grab the pot to retaliate, aiming to throw it at her.

From the moment the men had entered, Kelly had seen through their plan.

The thug intended to cause trouble, then throw the scalding pot at her. If it hit her- whether lightly or more severely-it could leave permanent scarring, or worse, lead to a life-threatening infection.

This wasn't just about hurting her; they wanted to end her.

The drunk man could easily claim he was too intoxicated to be fully responsible, and he'd likely get away with manslaughter rather than facing a more serious charge.

"Ah!" as the man raised the pot, Kelly reacted quickly, flipping the table over.
