Chapter: 655
“No, Virgil, don’t leave! Wait for me!”
Annalise pulled herself up and made to run after him, but Barlow cut her off.
“Just stop it, won’t you? You really make me sick.”
Annalise was rooted to the spot. She huffed and fumed as she watched
Karina and Barlow exit the room arm in arm.
In her rage, she dashed to the bathroom and grabbed the disposable razor that came with the room, and rushed out into the
hallway.
Standing at the door, Rosalynn and Brian watched the debacle. To say that they were quite invested in the drama would be an
understatement.
“Karina,” Rosalynn called out when she saw them emerge from the room.
Karina let out a small gasp. “Rosalynn? What are you doing here?”
“I= Watch out!”
Rosalynn was just about to explain the situation when she spotted
Annalise out of the corner of her eye. The woman was brandishing a razor as she hurtled straight for Karina.
Rosalynn moved quickly and tried to sprint over and tackle Annalise, but Barlow was faster. He pulled Karina behind him and
kicked Annalise away.
He had used enough force to throw her back against the wall. Annalise screamed as she flew and made impact, then crumpled
to the floor.
Barlow loomed over Annalise and stared at her furiously.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood from the blow, Annalise clutched her chest and screamed for Virgil.
“Virgil, please! I‘m hurt!”
Virgil instinctively took a step toward her. But he seemed to snap back to his senses in the next second and stopped in his
tracks.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before turning to Karina. “I have something to deal with at the company. I’m leaving
now.”
Karina had been holding her breath, waiting to see if Virgil would cave and go to Annalise despite everything. She heaved a sigh
of relief after hearing his words.
“ALL right, I’LL come with you.”
She looked back at Barlow and thanked him, then smiled at Rosalynn and waved at her goodbye.
