[Warning: Violence.]
Maria was satisfied when she saw the horror on Chloe's face. Whenever she saw a stupid bitch like Chloe in fear or shock, it was like a cathartic feeling that gave Maria joy.
'Hmm, maybe I can slowly understand the feeling that Vincent has,' Maria thought. 'It's actually fun to bully a woman like Chloe. The more you see her cry, the funnier she gets. It makes you want to crush her to pieces.'
Chloe hugged her daughter tighter in her arm. She subconsciously took a step back when she realized she was screwed because there was no way these four bodyguards that Vernon prepared were enough to beat those six men that Maria brought.
Chloe started to find any way out she could find. But the morgue was a very closed space, with no window, and the door was made out of metal, so it was definitely unbreakable for Chloe.
She saw one of the burly men pocket the key, so they were definitely trapped until they could beat those six men.
Chloe darted at Maria, who had been eyeing her for a while. As their eyes met, Maria showed his malicious smirk that sent chills down Chloe's spine.
She looked at her daughter, who was terrified in her arms, so she pushed the back of Mackie's head until her face was buried in Chloe's chest. She didn't want Mackie to see any violence that was about to happen soon.
Knowing she was trapped, Chloe quickly took her phone out and called Vernon.
Maria realized that Chloe was calling for reinforcement, so she gave an order before it was too late, "Seize Mrs. Gray and her daughter, don't hurt them, but you can kill her four bodyguards."
The six men surrounded the bodyguards. They didn't waste any chance and quickly tried to break the barrier surrounding Chloe and Mackie.
The four bodyguards tried their best to protect Mrs. Phoenix Gray and her daughter, but it was six versus four, and they got overwhelmed.
Chloe's hand started trembling as she heard the bodyguards' grunts as they fought their ambushers. She kept calling Vernon until the line was connected.
The moment it was connected, she screamed on the phone, "HELP! HELP US! WE GOT AMBUSHED!!"
However, before she could speak more, one of the ambushers broke through the barrier and snatched the phone away from Chloe. He smashed the phone and stomped on it to ensure that Chloe wouldn't receive reinforcement.
The ambusher then tried to separate Mackie from Chloe. He tried to take Mackie away from her mother, and Chloe yelled, "NOT MY DAUGHTER!"
"Let her go, you bitch! Ugh, why are they so sticky anyway?" The ambusher complained as he tried pulling Mackie away from her Mommy.
"Ahh! Mommy! Mommy, it hurts!" Mackie screamed in pain when she was being pulled away forcefully by the ambusher. Chloe used all her strength to keep Mackie safe in her arms.
But realizing that she was no match in strength against a burly man, she threw her weight at the ambusher's body and elbowed his stomach until he lost his balance.
Chloe and Mackie fell right on top of the ambusher's body, and before the man could recover, Chloe quickly clawed the man's eyes until his scream of agony shocked everyone in the morgue.
They looked in horror as they saw the sweet-looking lady suddenly digging her nail into the man's eyes until it bled. She was like a vicious madwoman that would stop at nothing.
After ensuring the ambusher who dared to hurt her daughter wouldn't move for a while, she shifted her target to Maria, who was astonished by what she saw just now because she truly didn't expect Chloe to be so crazy.
She always thought Chloe would cry in the corner while protecting her daughter. She could only cry and scream like a weak little bitch.
Chloe picked up her sobbing daughter and carried her in her arm again. She glared at Maria as if she couldn't wait to claw her eyes out, just like what she did to that poor ambusher writhing in pain on the floor.
Maria flinched when Chloe suddenly walked towards her. She stepped back and hurriedly yelled at one of her men, "What are you waiting for? Get this bitch away from me—URK!"
Maria almost got a heart attack when Chloe suddenly pushed her to the wall and strangled her. The ambusher was about to help, but Chloe looked over her shoulder and yelled, "Don't move, or I will kill her!"
The ambusher who was about to reach Chloe hesitated because Maria struggled hard to breathe. The situation was suddenly reversed after Chloe strangled Maria.
Chloe's four bodyguards seized one person each, one of the ambushers was still writhing in pain on the floor, and the other didn't know what to do because he was afraid that Chloe would kill the old woman.
Each time the ambusher took a step forward, Chloe would strangle Maria harder until the old lady's face turned pale.
Maria tried to break free by trying to reach Chloe's face to claw her. But Chloe glared at her and snapped, "DON'T MOVE, YOU OLD BITCH! YOU DARE TO HURT MY DAUGHTER! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE HER TIME WITH HER GRANDMOTHER!"
Maria stopped struggling as her body froze in fear. She never knew that Chloe could do something as vicious as this. All she wanted to do right now was to survive because she still had to protect the Gray company.
They were stuck in this position for a while until the door was unlocked from the outside, and the door was slammed open loudly, which snapped everyone out of their daze.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the sight of Vernon with a red face, like a devil ready to kill anyone in front of him.
Vernon assessed the situation for a split second and then shouted with a voice that could kill anyone, "I WILL FUCKING KILL ALL OF YOU!"
