Not A Small-Town Girl

----

“Let my mom go!" Ava, barely able to speak after being

beaten, cried desperately when she saw her mother also

being attacked.

Ignoring Linda’s pleas, the bodyguard grabbed one of her

arms and broke it in a swift motion.

He then grabbed the other arm and did the same, breaking it

just as easily.

Everyone in the office heard the chilling sound of bones

snapping and gasped in horror.

Even the Darling family hadn’t expected David’s men to act

with such ruthlessness.

“Linda’s arms were both broken, leaving her drenched in cold

sweat and unable to speak from the pain.

“You... you guys hurt my mom like

this? I’ll call police and sue you

all!" Ava was trembling with pain and

fury. Hereyes were filled with hatred

Bruce slapped Ava across the face. "You’d better shut up, or

I’ll make sure you don’t live to see another day."

Ava was terrified and instantly fell silent, not even daring to cry

out loud.

look good."

“David had repeatedly warned him not to let Danielle be

mistreated at school. Now David was angry. Ryan didn’t know

what to do.

“Mr. Tucker, would you like to know what it feels like to have

your arms broken?" David said coldly.

Ryan’s face turned pale with fear, and cold sweat drenched

him. He glanced toward Danielle for help.

"Don’t scape-Mr. Tucker," Danielle

spoke up;realizing David was o

president hadn’t done anything’

wrong, and she felt bad seeifig him

David shot a glance at Danielle and said, "Okay."

“Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He had no doubt David was

capable of breaking his arms.

"David’s gaze shifted to Paula. The bodyguard instantly

understood and turned toward her.

“Frightened, Paula quickly pulled out her phone and

threatened, "I’m on the phone with the police! Try touching

me!"

“The bodyguard remained expressionless and punched Paula

squarely in the mouth. When his fist dropped, she spat out

blood, teeth scattering across the floor.

“My... my teeth... my teeth..." Paula sobbed incoherently.

“Just then, several police officers walked in. They paused in

shock at the scene before them and sternly asked, "Who

called the police?"

----

Me," Paula mumbled through her toothless mouth.

The officers stared at her, bewildered by her condition, then

scanned the room, taking in the sight of four people lying on

the floor, badly beaten. "Who did this?"

“I did it," David said calmly, still seated, holding Danielle in his

arms as if nothing had happened.

"The officer didn’t know David. When he saw the scene and

David’s nonchalant demeanor, his already serious expression

grew graver.

“Handcuff them and take them away," the officer directed the

others.
