Chapter 14

The heavy odor filled Chloe's senses and making it unbearable. Her eyes were sticky, and she didn't dare to open them. Standing there, she felt helpless and embarrassed. The person who had splashed paint seemed unsatisfied and rushed forward to strike her.

Chloe was immediately disoriented by the blows, taking two stumbling steps backward. She cowered, helpless, as the punches rained down on her. Suddenly, the fists striking her stopped.

Ethan grabbed the person's hand, his expression fierce. "Do you want to turn yourself in at the police station, or should I call the police?"

The person looked frightened and immediately withdrew their hands from Ethan's grip, bolting away.

Chloe, still confused, took tissues from her bag and began wiping off the paint on her face. Ethan turned to her, taking the tissues from her hand, and personally helped wipe away the paint from her face.
