Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

Xan looked at the group of young women curiously, wondering how they could be so arrogant. She pondered about it for a long time, yet she couldn’t figure out what gave them the confidence.

One of them said, "How dare a dimwit like you think you’re good enough to be with Timothy? Stop bothering him, do you hear me?"

Xan continued to look at her curiously.

Another young woman said, ’Do you know what kind of family Kiara came from? Can your family compete with hers? So what if your brother is a genius? You’re just from an ordinary family. Even if your brother studied overseas, he wouldn’t amount to much. He’ll still be working for a family business like Kiara’s after he comes back."

Xan scratched her head, wondering if Ashton would need to work after he came back. Well, if Ashton worked, that would mean he had more money to support her. She did not want to work anyway.

"Did you fucking hear what I just said?" The leader of the group pushed her again.

Xan looked up at her and said, "Timothy is my boyfriend."

"What? Have you gone insane? Timothy isn’t even interested in Kiara, what more a dimwit like you? Even though you might be good-looking, you’re still a dimwit with a poor family background-’ the leader said disdainfully.

Xan asked in a serious manner, "Is Kiara’s family very rich?"

Several young women sneered, "Have you heard of Huma World Trade Center? It’s the tallest landmark in Huma, and her family’s company is right on the top floor!"

Xan merely said, ’But my dad said that building belongs to my family."

She was surprised to find that Kiara’s family’s company was renting in one of her family’s buildings.

The group of young women started cackling. "What a dimwit! I almost feel bad doing this to her!"

Another said, "Alright, listen up you idiot. We’ll teach you a lesson today. In the future, stay away from Timothy. He’s someone unattainable to the likes of you." The leader raised her hand and was about to hit Xan. Xan swiftly avoided her and said, "I can’t promise you that because Timothy is my boyfriend."

"You!" Exasperated, the leader went to kick her. She merely dodged, and the leader ended up falling onto the ground.

Xan had promised Ashton that she wouldn’t kill her peers, but she figured she could still hurt them without killing them.

A scream echoed through the alley. The group of young women were wailing on the ground even when Xan had not touched them.

Her expression darkened as she hated the noise. "You guys are so noisy..."

Perhaps she should just kill them instead.

"Xan!" Timothy and Kiara rushed over just as Xan was about to kill the group of young women.

"They’re gravely injured, Timothy. What’s wrong with Xandra. Is she crazy?’ Kiara pretended to be shocked while throwing accusations at Xan. "She’s autistic, so she can’t control her actions? Is she planning to kill them too?"

Timothy frowned at her and warned, ’Watch your words."

He then hurriedly pulled Xan into his arms and covered her ears. It was something Ashton had taught him last night to calm her emotions down.

The group of young women stared fearfully at her from the ground. "She... She’s a lunatic-"

They found her actions too ruthless.

"Even if you’re mentally ill, you still have to take responsibility for hurting your coursemates, Xandra. Your parents still have to pay for civil compensation!" Kiara said angrily

They all thought that Xan’s family was poor. As such, with all of their medical expenses, they figured they would be able to force a humble apology from Dexter and Sophia.

"Just you wait! I’ll make your family go bankrupt since you dared to lay a hand on me!" The leader had burst into tears from the pain.

Timothy angrily glared at those young women. "You guys were the ones who provoked her, weren’t you?"

"They started it first," Xan softly said, looking as docile as a frightened bunny.

The group of injured young women was shocked to see her demeanor. She seemed more of a bitch than a dimwit now.

"Are you going to cover up for her, Timothy? My friends got hurt!" Kiara stared at Xan in shock.

Timothy’s expression darkened instantly. "Let’s call the police, then. All of you brought her to this corner alone, yet you’re saying that she beat all six of you up on her own? Let’s see if the police would believe in you!"

He continued to comfort Xan while saying, "She’s spooked out by your loud voices on a daily basis. How could she possibly take down all six of you?"

Timothy clearly did not believe them. He even thought that they were pretending to be in pain just to scare Xan. "Don’t worry, I’ll call the police now. We’ll let them handle this," he said, glaring angrily at the group of young women.

The young women found themselves at a loss of words. All six of them were actually beaten up by a dimwit. They wouldn’t have believed it either if they weren’t the ones who experienced it.

Xan leaned against Timothy’s shoulders, a hint of a smile appearing on her lips. She realized that being protected by her boyfriend felt different from being protected by her brother.

Kiara helped the leader up, yet she collapsed to the ground once more with a scream. Her ankle was badly swollen.

Timothy called the police. Even the police found it hard to believe that a fragile-looking Xan could take six other young women down.

All six of them even ended up in the hospital-three with broken ribs, one with a broken leg, and two with fractured noses.

"What were you guys doing in the alley? There’s not even a surveillance camera there. How did you guys turn out this way?" Even the police were shocked.

All six of them had fractures and clear signs of having been beaten, but it was impossible for Xan to have done it.

"You’d better be honest-did you guys have a brawl?" It was only reasonable to suspect them of brawling among themselves.

"She’s the one who beat us up!" they yelled in unison while pointing at Xan.

Xan refused to admit to it, merely hiding behind Timothy.

"That’s not what we’re seeing here!" the police said, clearly frustrated.

All six of the young women weren’t easy targets to mess with. They were clearly trying to frame Xan up by accusing an autistic person like her of beating them up.

Xan blinked before burrowing herself into Timothy’s embrace. She enjoyed listening to his heartbeat as it calmed her down.

No wonder Sophia always liked to listen to Dexter’s heartbeat in his embrace. She once said that the world felt quieter just by listening to his heartbeat.

"What’s going on?" The parents of all six of the young women gathered outside the hospital ward. Kiara had even called her father over.

"Don’t worry, my dad is here now," she told her friends. "He’s even brought his team of lawyers over."

"Timothy, even though your family is related to Mr. Coleman of the Coleman Group, your father and him are just cousins at best. The Coleman Group doesn’t belong to your family, so I’d suggest you stay out of this," the leader threatened Timothy.

"Xan!" Sophia and Dexter rushed over after getting the call.

Sophia couldn’t care less about the lives of the others--she was only worried about Xan’s well-being.

Xan, still in Timothy’s embrace, shook her head at Sophia. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Sophia’s mood instantly plummeted. At that moment, Timothy could feel her seething fury from her gaze alone.

"Mrs. Black, Xan and I-" he started explaining.

"They started it first, Mom," Xan said softly.

Sophia slapped away Timothy’s arms, which were around Xan. She then turned to look at the other furious parents. "Your children ganged up to bully my child. How do you plan to resolve this now?"

It would be for the best if they could talk it out. Otherwise, someone might end up getting hurt.
