Billionaire's Reborn Wife

I'm Not Allowed to Fight Back?

A black Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove up the bridge.

In the car, when Bruce saw Stella standing on the bridge, he frowned and exclaimed, "Mr. Benz, that's Miss Biber. She isn’t planning to commit suicide, is she?"

Hearing this, Edward finally withdrew his gaze from the documents. Looking out the window, his gaze fell precisely on Stella.

Bruce slowed down the car, and turned to park by the roadside.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew away the scarf shrouding Stella's face.

Edward frowned when he saw the fingerprint marks on her cheek.

Just as he wanted to open the car door, he saw two girls, who seemed like students, walking toward Stella. He stopped and withdrew his hand expressionlessly.

Standing on the bridge, Stella suddenly felt someone shove her.

She subconsciously took two steps back. After regaining her balance, she raised her reddened eyes and looked over. The scarf on her face drifted away with the wind in the direction of the Austin River.

It was a girl clad in a tank top, an A-Line skirt with a head of long blue hair. She stared at the fingerprint marks on Stella's face, and mocked scornfully, "How could you go around with such a face? Don't you feel ashamed?"

。Behind her stood a well-dressed, obedient-looking girl. That was Ray Biber, holding loads of shopping bags.

"Stella, Fiona came across a pair of sunglasses that she likes. However, she is still short of a thousand dollars. Do you have any more cash?" Ray asked.

Stella took a glance at Ray before staring at Fiona coldy, asking, "Speaking of that, didn't you take cash from me this morning? What happened to it?"

In the past, Stella didn't even dare to raise her head when speaking to Fiona Johns, let alone look at her.

Stella's abnormal behavior made Fiona's face change slightly. Hence, Fiona retorted fiercely, "I took your money to punish you for using Ray’s cosmetics without permission. If you don't want to get slapped again, then give me the money now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for whatever happens next."

After hearing Fiona's words, Stella suddenly sneered.

Her sneer irritated Fiona. Fiona walked up to her angrily and raised her hand, wanting to slap her.

Stella, however, stared at her straight in the eye, completely unflinching.

When Fiona's palm almost grazed her cheek, Stella suddenly gripped Fiona's slender wrist.

She stretched out her leg and grabbed Fiona's waist. Bending over, she slammed Fiona to the ground.

All of this happened in one smooth, swift motion!

Fiona was taken aback after being knocked over, and pain throbbed within her. She lay on the ground and wasn't able to get up for a while.

Ray looked at Stella in disbelief. "Sis, Fiona is younger than you, and she's my friend. How could you bully her?"

"What's wrong? Are you saying that I can't fight back just because she's younger?" Stella glared at her coldly. Then, she walked up to Fiona and looked down at her condescendingly. "Return my money now. I’ll break one of your fingers if you dare delay it for even a minute!."

In her previous life in prison, all five of Stella's fingers had been snapped off. She profoundly remembered the extreme agony.

Fiona glared at Stella with hatred. She struggled to stand up. Pushing against the ground, she got back on her feet. "My brother has just come out of prison. If you dare to touch me, I promise you will die a miserable death."

Stella wasn't fazed by what Fiona said. She looked at her watch instead. "You still have 30 seconds."

Fiona was suppressed by the cruelty in Stella's eyes. Although she didn't believe that Stella dared break her fingers, Fiona felt an inexplicable fear.

She hurriedly took out her phone, wanting to make a call.

At this exact moment, one minute had passed.

Stella did not give her the time to make the phone call. She came over, grabbed Fiona's hair, and dragged her to the guardrail.

Fiona was frightened. Hence, she shouted, "I'll pay you back! Two thousand two hundred and thirty dollars. I'll give it to you!"

The moment she felt Stella bending her left and right index fingers, Fiona burst into tears.

"I'll pay you back right away, but I've spent all the money. Can I call someone to send the money over?"

Stella lowered her gaze, glared at Fiona coldly, and let go of her hands.

Fiona leaned against the guardrail and slid to the ground. With tears in her eyes, she glanced up at Stella.

Although she was afraid, there was also endless hatred in Fiona's gaze.

Soon, the call that Fiona had dialed connected. She put the phone to the ear and spoke in a teary voice.

"Richard, I've been beaten up. Bring me 3,000 dollars now. I’m on the bridge!"

Less than ten minutes after she hung up, a black van stopped by the road.

The door opened, and a dozen youths wielding iron rods and colorfully-dyed hair alighted.

The leader was Fiona's elder brother. He was slightly older than the rest. He had a crew cut, two arms full of tattoos, and a lean build.

As soon as Fiona saw him, she cried out, "Richard!"

Richard Johns glanced at Fiona's hand in distress. He glared at Stella. "Are you courting death?"

Stella's cold gaze met his. Instead of answering him, she questioned him .

"Have you brought the money?"

Richard sneered, "Yes, but you'd need to get it from me."

Stella's cold eyes swept over the youths behind Richard. "It’s my money. So of course, I'll get it back!"

Her arrogant tone irked the youths.

hey raised their rods and rushed up to Stella.

From the car, Bruce witnessed this scene and worriedly asked Edward, "Mr. Benz, shall we call the police?"

Before Bruce could finish, he noticed that Edward's expression was dark as night. Edward then opened the car door and stepped out at once.

…...

Stella was not frightened at all although being surrounded by the guys wielding iron rods.

However, it was hard to fight all of them alone. Whenever she grabbed one iron rod with both hands, she was slapped in the face by someone else.

Pushing against the iron rod she gripped, Stella jumped and kicked the man who slapped her hard to the ground.

She turned over again, released the iron rod, and freed herself.

The youth in front of her then swung his iron rod at her.

Just as she was about to move forward, Stella felt someone grab her wrist.

She even staggered backward from the force.

Edward had appeared in front of her. With a poker face, he grabbed the iron rod with his other hand, and kicked the youth away.

When Stella looked up and noticed it was Edward, she frowned.

She pulled Edward behind her and shouted, "Stand still, don't move!"

Ten minutes later, the iron rods were flying all over the place. Several youths wailed in pain as they lay on the ground, including Richard.

With a bruised face, Stella walked up to Richard and kicked him. She roared, "Give me the money."

Richard grimaced and took out the money from his trouser pocket. Then, he handed it over.

"How many years have you spent in prison?" Stella asked Richard as she counted the stack of cash. She took two thousand two hundred and thirty dollars from it and returned the rest of it to him.

"T-two months." Richard stuttered after taking the change from her.

Stella bent down and whispered in his ear, "I had been in prison for four years because I killed someone. If you want to take revenge, feel free to attack me. But if you can't kill me then, you may be doomed."

After that, she stood up.

Richard looked at her with a shocked expression.

When he realized that she was letting him go, he quickly scrambled away, grabbing Fiona with him as he left.

When the other youths saw that their leader had run away, they quickly got up and left as well.

Ray had frozen from fright the whole time. When she came to her senses and wanted to leave with Fiona, it was already too late..
