She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 237

At

11 p.m., just before Marco's birthday party came to an end, Joy announced that she needed to go to sleep before midnight. and politely said her goodbyes to Marco. Marco couldn't bear to say goodbye and insisted on walking her back himself. She didn't refuse.

As they reached a corner of the parking lot, preparing to get into the car, several men suddenly emerged from all directions, surrounding them.

Marco felt a wave of guilt wash over him, but he steeled himself and stood in front of Joy. He asked the guys who they were and what they wanted.

In the next moment, he was tackled to the ground by a group of hooligans. They covered his mouth with socks and bound his hands.

The gang leader glanced at Joy with a smirk and spoke in a lewd tone, "Hey there, gorgeous. We have something fun planned for you. Would you prefer to do it here, or would you rather join us in the forest?"

Joy, who had been watching Marco get beaten, spoke calmly, "I'll go to the forest with you."

The hooligans were taken

aback by her obedience. After a few moments of surprise, their expressions twisted into even more wretched and disgusting smiles as they gave her a thumbs-up. "We didn't expect the school belle from a prestigious university to be so sensible! Don't worry, we'll make sure you enjoy yourself."

Marco squirmed like a wriggling earthworm, desperately urging Joy not to go.

But Joy didn't even look at him. She calmly followed the hooligans into the forest.

In an SUV not far away, Lucas raised his binoculars and peered through the half-open window. He watched as Joey trailed the group of hooligans into the forest, a smug smile spreading across his lips.

Although it benefited those hooligans, it was still better than Joy enjoying her time alone.

Before long, Joy and the others vanished into the forest. Lucas couldn't see a thing. He could only imagine in his mind, swallowing hard with envy for those guys.

As his thoughts spiraled, he suddenly saw Joy emerge from the woods. Through his binoculars, he noticed she was well-dressed, her hair neatly styled, and her posture elegant. She didn't appear to have been harmed at all. Lucas was surprised.

inept those hooligans were, they shouldn't have finished sex in such a short time. Lucas couldn't help but wonder what happened in the forest. Through the binoculars, Lucas saw Joy help Marco into the car and leave, but the hooligans never came out of the
