Chapter 209 A Mother's Strength

"No, where are you taking me? I won't go!"

The woman was being dragged to a car by a bunch of guys, fighting like crazy to get away.

People walking by acted like they didn't see a thing, like this was just another night outside the club.

Someone in the car yelled, "Hurry up! Are you playing or what?"

"I'm not that kind of girl. Please, let me go."

She was being pulled along, holding on tight and begging for mercy.

One of the guys, clearly annoyed, slapped her across the face.

"Don't pretend to be pure. Pool babies here are just selling themselves. Do a good job, and I'll pay you more."

She covered her face, crying. "Please, I have a kid waiting for me at home."

One guy sneered and pinched her cheek. "So soft, huh? We can't believe you have a child. Just play with us."

"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer," the person in the car urged again.

The guys kept dragging her towards the car. She clung to the door, her feet braced against the car, refusing to get in.

I stood nearby, arms crossed, and said coldly, "I'll give you ten seconds to let her go."

They stopped, and even her crying paused.

Everyone turned to look at me.

"Hey, a beauty."

"Nice figure, quite the woman."

Their eyes lit up, looking at me like I was a prize.

The woman saw me, tears still on her face, and called out softly, "Emily."

It was Sophie. I had a fleeting glimpse of her last night and thought she looked familiar. Turned out it really was her.
