At half past five in the afternoon, Bella Scott and Cecelia Anderson left the office building. The two women each held a child's hand, chatting and laughing.
With Bella's comforting words, Cecelia had already forgotten the unpleasantness that had occurred with Tariq Lane at the gallery earlier.
That was until suddenly, a few tall men appeared, blocking their way.
Bella maintained her composure and coldly questioned, "Who are you?"
No one answered, and the men stared intently at her, seemingly targeting her.
Bella quietly shielded Cecelia and Cindy behind her, whispering, "You two go back into the office building first."
Cindy was unwilling, insisting, "I want to protect my mom."
After saying that, she rushed to Bella's side.
Just as Cecelia was about to pull her child back, someone suddenly charged from the side and struck her neck with a fierce blow.
As a wave of intense pain washed over her, she quickly lost consciousness.
