The Woman From Hell
Chapter 15
Although I was frightened to death, I was still the one at fault. I suppressed the fear in me and slowly opened the car door.
The Tibetan Mastiff, which rushed out just now, was lying motionlessly under my car tire. The pool of crimson blood stood out clearly among the greenery of the woods.
I closed my eyes in shock. After some time, I managed to calm myself down.
“Tell me, what are you going to do about this?” The man crossed his arms and stared at me coldly.
I did not dare to look into his frightening eyes. I lowered my head and said, “I am sorry, I didn't mean to do this. I can compensate you.”
“Since you have a good attitude, I will let you go easy. Pay me ten thousand bucks in cash, or else…” The man was biting on a piece of reed between his teeth. He gave me a glance from head to toe with a smirk on his face.
I sensed the imminent danger and immediately said, “No problem. I will give it to you.” At a time like this, I would gladly give him even a hundred thousand bucks if he asked me for it, let alone ten thousand.
I turned around in a hurry to look for my handbag, but I could not find it after looking through my entire car. Just then, I recalled that I did not take it when I left in a hurry last night.

“No. I only want cash. If you do not have money, do not even think of leaving today.” The man huffed coldly. He did not look pleased.
“If so, can I call a friend? I will ask her to send some cash over.” I quickly took out my phone and was prepared to make a call.
“You better do as you say and do not even think of calling the police. Over here, the police will not be able to do anything.” The man glared at me with an impatient look on his face.

When I noticed there was no response, I paused and mustered the courage to say, “Doctor Lynch, I am truly sorry. You are the only one whom I can ask for help from right now.”

I could tell that he was gritting his teeth. He was super furious. Just as I was at a loss for what to do, his cold voice spoke again.
