Chapter 11
“Call...” Genevieve revealed a string of numbers, pressing her nails on the woman‘s neck.
The latter‘s legs went weak. Immediately, she turned and shot Erica a pleading glance.
“G–Genevieve, don‘t be reckless!” Panic–stricken, Erica never expected Genevieve to do such a thing. “You don‘t even have a home now. Who else can you contact for help?”
She was Genevieve‘s friend for several years, so she knew very clearly about Genevieve‘s social circle. On top of that, she had already bribed Genevieve‘s friends who had a good family background.
There‘s no way she could get anyone to come to her aid!
“You better... call that number!” Genevieve said that through gritted teeth. Her nails already pierced the woman‘s neck. The latter‘s legs trembled in fright with her mouth agape.
Erica‘s face fell. She was afraid that the woman would call out her name by accident. Gnashing her teeth, she reluctantly called the number mentioned by Genevieve.
Soon enough, the call got through. “Hello?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Genevieve was on the verge of tears. Gulping down a mouthful of bloody saliva, she mustered up her strength to say, “I‘m Genevieve... Come to the police station... in Yaleview.”
As long as she could get to the hospital to see her grandmother, she would not mind giving up her own life if the man decided to claim it.
Her own dignity paled in comparison to her only kin in the world.
In a flash, the policemen rushed over to the source of the commotion.
Nevertheless, the moment they saw that Genevieve was gripping the other woman‘s neck, seemingly intending to perish together with her, the policemen dared not barge in rashly.
