When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 335 :.. ( 53 ) 55 vouchers As more people crowded around , Teresa pulled Monica protectively into her arms . Yvonne quickly stepped in beside them , both of them standing firm on either side , keeping Monica shielded safe between them . Lying on the ground , Ethan cried out twice in pain before slowly pulling himself together , his body still trembling . Someone reached down to help him stand .

Once he was steady on his feet , Teresa caught sight of his sweat- soaked , deathly pale face - those eyes of his , hard as ice and impossibly deep , made it impossible to guess what he was thinking . Glaring at Teresa through gritted teeth , he spat , " You've got a death wish , haven't you ? " Teresa didn't even look his way . She grabbed Yvonne's hand , and together they kept Monica protected in the middle , then started toward the door . A few people blocked the exit , but Teresa practically ignored them , ready to barge through and force her way out .

But just then , Ethan's deep , commanding voice rang out . " Grab them ." At his order , several men closed in and seized Teresa and Yvonne by their arms , holding them tight from both sides . Outnumbered and powerless to fight back , Teresa and Yvonne were now like lambs to the slaughter . Monica's eyes were bloodshot from crying , her sobs ripping through the room . " Mommy , Aunt Teresa ... " Monica wailed , her voice cracking with fear . Yvonne was scared , but she forced herself to stay composed . She spoke gently , coaxing Monica in a soft voice , " Monica , don't cry .

Everything's gonna be fine . Listen to Mommy , okay ? Don't cry . " At her mother's reassuring words , Monica's sobs finally faded , even though she was still terrified . By now , Ethan had fully recovered . He shoved the helping hand away and got right in Teresa's face , stopping just inches away from her . He locked eyes with her , then let out a cold , mocking laugh . Suddenly , he gripped her chin hard , forcing her to look up at him . Staring at her beautiful face , he felt a sudden tension run through his body .

But the next second , with nothing but disdain , he spat right in her face . Teresa squeezed her eyes shut , trying to pretend it didn't happen , but the spit stuck to her skin - a sickening reminder of his brutality . She felt like she was gonna puke , but she gritted her teeth and forced it down . ' Don't let him see you crack . 17:13 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 335 : Not now , ' she told herself , face stiff and stomach churning . 53 55 vouchers Monica saw it all unfold , her eyes going wide with sheer terror as tears came pouring down . Her voice shook as she sobbed , " Aunt Teresa !

" Yvonne saw it , and her heart clenched with pain . " Teresa ! " she cried out , desperate and worried , wishing she could do something to help . ' Hang in there , Teresa , please ,' she thought , biting her lip . Teresa shot Ethan a cold , contemptuous glare . " Is this really all you've got ? Just these dirty little tricks ? " she spat back , voice full of scorn . Ethan just shrugged like he couldn't care less , a sly smirk on his lips . " Yeah , I'm scum . So what ? What're you gonna do , huh ? " Teresa locked eyes with him , her voice dropping to a dark , threatening whisper .

" Did you forget what Charles warned you about ? " Just a couple nights ago , Charles had made it crystal clear to Ethan - he was serious about Teresa , and wouldn't let anyone mess with her . Right now , that was the only card Teresa had left to play - her last shot at saving herself . She wanted Ethan to remember she was still Charles's wife . If that meant he'd hesitate even for a second , she had to try . But instead of backing down , Ethan just sneered and gave Teresa's cheek a mocking little slap . " So what if he remembers ? The only person he cares about is my precious sister .

Your ' dear husband ' Charles skips New Year's with his own family every year - just to run off to Ternton for my sis . So go ahead , tell me , who do you think he's really putting first ? " Those words stabbed Teresa right in the heart , leaving her reeling . Teresa let out a dry , self - deprecating laugh and shot back , " So what about me and you ? Who do you honestly think he cares more about ? " Ethan just scoffed , rolling his eyes . " Does the comparison even matter ? All I know is , he only has eyes for my sister .

Whatever happens to me , as long as she acts sweet and says a few nice things , whose side do you think he'll take ? Yours or hers ? " Teresa choked back her reply , realizing there was no use in playing the Charles card now . She turned to Yvonne and Monica , catching the worry etched deep on their faces . Monica's little face was blotchy and streaked with tears , her eyes red and putty ; Yvonne looked anxious and restless , fear flickering in her eyes . Spotting their faces , Teresa managed a gentle smile for them , then turned to Ethan , her gaze firm .

" Let them go , " Teresa said , protecting them with every word . Ethan burst out laughing , his tone full of mockery . " Let them go ? You must be joking ." He cocked an eyebrow and sneered , " Why don't you both stay and entertain me ? And let that little brat stand by and watch - she can 17:14 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 335 : 53 55 vouchers see how a man likes to be pleased . When she's learned enough , maybe she'll get her turn too . How about it ? " Teresa couldn't hold herself back anymore . She struggled hard against the grip on her arms but couldn't break free .

She shot Ethan a murderous glare and shouted furiously , " Ethan , you sick bastard ! " Ethan just snickered , totally unfazed . " Yeah , I am . So what ? " But just as he finished , Ethan suddenly hissed in pain . " Ahh- ! " Teresa looked down and saw Monica viciously biting into Ethan's leg . Before Teresa or Yvonne could stop her , Ethan kicked Monica hard , knocking her to the floor . Monica hit the ground and instantly blacked out . Teresa and Yvonne screamed at the same time , " Monica ! Monica !

" Ethan bent down , rubbing his leg , then , still seething , lashed out and kicked Monica hard again without hesitation . Yvonne's face was covered in tears as she broke down , screaming , " Ethan , let her go ! She's just a child - she's done nothing wrong ! " Ethan whipped his head around to glare at Yvonne , his face twisted in disgust . " Oh , now she's suddenly innocent ? Then who's responsible for her biting me , huh ? " Teresa snarled , her fury barely contained , " Ethan , you're beyond shameless ! " Ethan didn't want to hear another word from Teresa or Yvonne .

He just waved his hand and barked at his two lackeys , " Take them to the RV . " One of the lackeys leaned in and whispered , " Boss , which one do you want us to take ? " Ethan's eyes flicked back and forth between Teresa and Yvonne , then he said , " Take them both . " The lackey's face twisted into a wicked grin , but just as he reached out to grab Teresa and Yvonne , there was a sudden burst of heavy footsteps outside - loud and relentless , almost like a stampede . Then came a voice , brash and cocky , cutting through the air . " Who dares touch anyone that belongs to me ?

" As soon as Troy spoke , the place was flooded - people swarming in from outside , packing the room wall to wall in seconds . Even more of Troy's guys piled in , boxing in Ethan's crew from all sides . Seeing how outnumbered they were , Ethan's men shrank back behind him , desperate for cover . Troy stood right up front , his black trench coat making him look taller and sharper than ever . His gaze was ice - cold and razor - sharp as it flicked to the side - and he saw Teresa and Yvonne , both a mess , tears all over their faces .

17:14 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 335 55 vouchers Seeing them like that , Troy's heart felt like someone stabbed a needle right through it . When he looked back at Ethan , his eyes were so cold and fierce they could cut a person to the bone . Ethan couldn't help but shiver under Troy's stare , but he put on a sneer anyway . " Troy ? " Troy met his gaze , not backing down for a second . " Yeah . That's me . " Ethan's heart was pounding with panic . He stared at Troy and stammered , " You seriously wanna go against Charles ? " Troy gave a cold , mocking laugh . " Right now ?

I'm coming for you ." His presence was overwhelming , like a storm sweeping in - crushing , suffocating , impossible to ignore . Ethan instinctively took a step back , all his bravado vanishing in an instant . " Troy , touch me and Charles will come gunning for you . He won't let you breathe , " Ethan snapped , trying to sound fierce . Troy just strolled right up to Ethan , every step laced with that chilling swagger . He stared him down , voice slow and mocking . " Oh ? Is that so ? Guess I'll just have to see for myself ." Ethan shot him a dirty look , snorting . " Freak !

" Troy didn't pay any attention to Ethan's insult . He turned and glanced over at Teresa , spotting her and Yvonne bending protectively over Monica , holding her tight between them . That's when it hit Troy - Monica was here too . She was lying unconscious in Yvonne's arms , her small form limp and pale . Realization dawning , Troy shot Ethan a glare , his voice low and menacing . " You dared to hurt Monica too ? " This time , the icy chill in Troy's eyes sharpened into pure murderous intent . AD
