Chapter 426: Last Time
Both the bodyguards were overjoyed, and they immediately bent forward to bow to Matthew. “Thank you, Mr. Benson!”
Although Nikki’s looks were average, she was young and dressed sexily.
Besides, it was a benefit that Matthew was giving them, so it would be a waste not to use it!
Because the two bodyguards had to stay by Matthew’s side around the clock, it had been a long time since they had any intimate contact with women. After hearing Matthew’s instructions, they immediately walked toward Nikki, who was on the ground, with lewd and evil smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Nikki finally realized that she had angered Matthew!
Her goal was to get connected to top families like the Parkers and even the Bensons. If she was openly violated by the two bodyguards here, she would never have the chance to get closer to Kenneth and Tyron again in this life!
“Mr. Benson, I was wrong! I must have spouted that nonsense because I was all muddled up just now! Please just spare me this once! I promise that I’ll never do such a thing again! I swear!” Nikki scrambled toward Matthew and pleaded in misery.
“Get lost!” Matthew kicked her away in disdain.
He had always been a ruthless person who had never taken women seriously. Now that Nikki happened to offend him, he naturally wouldn’t have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex.
Lucas glanced at Matthew. This man isn’t that silly after all. He didn’t let Nikki incite him easily.
He’s quite an ambitious person who knows to yield and give in when necessary.
But Lucas loathed Matthew very much, and even though he didn’t have much manpower at the moment, he definitely wouldn’t recruit someone like him.
Lucas pulled Cheyenne and said gently, “Let’s go.”
He had wanted to leave this place multiple times now. But unfortunately, ignorant people had insisted on stopping them.
Nikki suddenly raised her head as if she had found a straw to clutch at. She suddenly struggled to free herself from the grasp of the two bodyguards with all her might, then quickly got up from the ground and hugged Cheyenne’s calf in desperation.
“Cheyenne! You’re my dearest cousin! You can’t leave me in the lurch! I know I’ve done you wrong previously, and I’ve really let you down, but please save me again. Please save me once more! I’ll definitely turn over a new leaf!” Nikki was bawling so hard that her face was covered in tears and snot, and she looked particularly pitiful.
But no one present found her to be pitiful at all because they felt that she was extremely atrocious and shameless!
Just now, she had even taken the initiative to step forward and criticize Lucas, degrading him to the point that he seemed worthless. She had even tried to spur on Matthew to deal with Lucas.
Now that she had failed to achieve her agenda of impelling Matthew and even ended up angering him, she unabashedly scurried to Cheyenne and Lucas to beg them to save her. She was really shameless!
“Hah, if I remember correctly, you already said this once ten minutes ago. But have you changed at all? No, you haven’t. You even went from bad to worse and tried to harm us again!” Lucas lowered his head and glanced at Nikki coldly. “You’re just like a venomous snake. You don’t deserve to live since you’ve dug your own grave. You brought all of these upon yourself, and you totally deserve to suffer this fate!”
With that, Lucas took Cheyenne’s arm to leave with her.
“Ah! Cheyenne! Lucas! I really know I’m wrong this time! I really do! I was just muddled just now. As long as you save me this time, I will never go against you again. I’ll definitely repay this favor and never forget your kindness to me!” Nikki burst into tears and hugged Cheyenne’s legs with all her might.
She knew that Matthew wouldn’t let her off, and those bodyguards wouldn’t defy Matthew’s orders for her sake. So the only person who could save her was Lucas!
After all, his actions had just made Matthew wary and scrupulous of him.
At this moment, Nikki had already completely forgotten that Lucas’s power, which she needed to rely on now, was precisely the same thing that she had been desperately trying to deny just now.
“Hubby… can you save her once more?” Cheyenne hesitated for a long while but eventually made this request to Lucas.
Seeing how miserable Nikki was, Cheyenne still couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless and ignore her.
Although she had long been utterly disappointed with Nikki and didn’t want to acknowledge her as her cousin ever again, Nikki would be defiled and violated by the bodyguards if she didn’t save her now.
Cheyenne couldn’t stomach it, and the thought of this happening made her feel extremely ill at ease and guilty.
Although society was now much more tolerant of unchaste women, a woman would definitely be psychologically traumatized after getting raped and remain affected for the rest of her life.
At the end of the day, Cheyenne was still extremely kindhearted and couldn’t watch her cousin end up in such a tragic plight.
Lucas looked at Cheyenne. “Cheyenne, you’re indeed a kindhearted girl, but you should know that some people aren’t worthy of your kindness. Take Scarlet Wright for example. She’s your cousin too, and you treated her so well, but how did she repay your kindness?”
Cheyenne immediately thought of Scarlet.
Indeed, she had always been good to Scarlet. But later on, Scarlet kept mocking her and insulting her for the sake of pleasing Dominic and Bryce Carter. She even went so far as to abduct Amelia and almost landed Charlotte in danger.
If not for Lucas, two of the people who mattered to her the most would have probably been destroyed by Scarlet.
“Kindness is naturally an extremely precious and excellent attribute to have, and your kind-heartedness is also one of the reasons that I love you. But not everyone will thank you for being kind to them and repay you. Those who wish for you to fall to rock bottom and never make a comeback are often the ones you’ve once helped sincerely. They simply don’t deserve your kindness at all.” Lucas sighed gently.
Cheyenne naturally understood that Lucas always spoke from the bottom of his heart and felt that his words made sense too.
But she could never just watch Nikki get dragged away by these bodyguards and go through such a horrifying experience.
She would admit it if others mocked her for being overly kindhearted and naive.
She just felt that even if Nikki was indeed reaping what she sowed and deserved her retribution, she shouldn’t be punished in such a way that all women abhorred.
“Hubby, we’re both women after all. I really don’t hope to see that happen to her… Will you help her just one last time?” Cheyenne glanced at Lucas.
Seeing the pleading gaze in Cheyenne’s eyes, how could Lucas possibly refuse?
He smiled and touched Cheyenne’s tender hair before agreeing softly, “Alright.”
Then Lucas turned around to look at Matthew and said indifferently, “Mr. Benson, please let us take this woman away on my account.”
