Chapter 263: I Won’t Hurt You
*Flashback*
By the time Brooke realized what Cassie had done, it was too late. The supervisor had called for security to have her forcefully removed from the premises.
"Come on! Move!" A guard scolded, arresting her shoulders. Her crutches fell miserably to the floor, helplessly she tried to signal for them, but one of the guards kicked her from behind.
"We don’t have all day!" he hollered, and then pushed her forward, nearly causing her to tumble over.
Avery noticed and tried to intervene, but Jen held her by the wrist, she slowly shook her head from side to side, dismissing the idea. Avery struggled for a bt against her hold, but eventually she calmed down, and lowered her head, too disgusted to look at the treatment given to Brooke.
The guards dragged Brooke past the lobby, where all the staff and customers could see her, teary eyed and humiliated, limping and struggling. Some people whispered amongst themselves, others had hesitant looks as though wanting to help, but none of them moved an inch or lifted a finger.
"Please...you’re hurting me..." she cried, pleading to be let go.
Her pleading naturally fell on deaf ears, the supervisor followed from behind, making sure that Brooke was thoroughly escorted out of the building.
However, he was at a loss for words when they ran into someone at the entrance of the building. Not just anyone, the supervisor quickly tried to signal the guards to pull back, but it was too late, his interest had already been piqued.
Brooke’s heart skipped a beat when the guards stopped dragging her. She wondered if they had heard her pleading.
