Chapter 271:
Maisie resisted fiercely, her voice strained with panic.
“Don’t lay a hand on me! Not a single one of you p>
Despite Ryan’s assurance of finding her the best legal help, Maisie knew that complying now could mean the end of everything.
With intense bitterness in her gaze, she scanned the room and suddenly noticed a fruit knife on a nearby desk.
At that moment, Maisie appeared consumed by madness. Swiftly, before anyone could react, she darted over and seized the knife.
In the blink of an eye, Maisie charged towards Jenessa, who was walking away.
“Jenessa Wright! You’re to blame for all of this! If you think you can ruin me, you won’t escape unscathed either! Go to hell!” Maisie shouted fiercely.
Jenessa instinctively turned at Maisie’s enraged voice, catching a glint of the sharp blade in the room’s light.
“Ah!” A cry of terror echoed through the room.
Jenessa’s expression shifted, but the sudden turn of events left her no chance to react.
Her immediate thought was of her unborn child.
In that critical moment, Ryan swiftly moved forward.
However, a figure moved faster than Ryan and shielded Jenessa.
The sound of the blade slicing through the fabric and piercing skin momentarily stunned Jenessa into silence. She stared at the man standing before her, her voice trembling with shock.

“Rick p>
Richard let out a pained groan, his face draining of color in an instant.
The police officers were caught off guard by Maisie’s sudden attack. This woman was insane!
They swiftly restrained Maisie, and the bloodied knife fell to the floor with a loud clatter.
“It’s you again! You’ve ruined my plan again!” Failing to harm Jenessa only fueled Maisie’s anger further. She screamed curses at Richard and Jenessa, “You despicable couple! You’re all cursed p>
Before Maisie could utter any more curses, the police swiftly escorted her away.
However, Jenessa couldn’t even focus on Maisie.
With deep concern etched across her face, she glanced at Richard’s bleeding arm and reassured him, “Hang on! I’ll get you to the hospital immediately p>
Richard took a sharp breath, gritting his teeth against the pain, all while still concerned about Jenessa’s well-being.
“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious. Let’s deal with Maisie Powell first,” Richard replied, shaking his head.
Jenessa swiftly replied, “The police will handle her. You need to go to the hospital right away and get your wound treated p>
Richard’s worry deepened, and he frowned, glancing toward Ryan in the distance.
“If we leave now, what if Ryan manages to cover for Maisie and help her get out of the police’s custody p>
Upon hearing this, Jenessa felt a surge of annoyance.
“Even if he continues to defend her, I’ll pursue legal action against them. For now, you need to get to the hospital ASAP p>
