Chapter 674 Pressed Together

Emelie drew a small dagger that she had hidden in her boot.

Her mind was racing. Who were these people, and what were their motives? Were they here to kill her?

It seemed too early for the four families to kill her now, as she hadn't confronted them yet. Perhaps they intended to warn her by hurting her, or even kidnap her to force a confession of her plans.

Jodie positioned her horse defensively in front of Emelie. "Be careful, Ma'am."

Emelie nodded.

She delivered a powerful kick that could easily break ribs, sending one attacker reeling. The other attackers couldn't get up either after being hit to the ground.

With a swift movement, Jodie used her whip to ensnare another man's neck. Then, she yanked over the man who was struggling to breathe.

Jodie growled, "Who sent you?"

The man refused to answer.
