Time seemed to stand still.
"Mommy..." Lu Yanbai's voice also became slower.
As the knife was about to pierce Jian Si's skin, Lu Xiangxiang's wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Miss Lu, the boss has said that Miss Jian cannot be harmed in any way, we must ensure her safety!"
The person speaking was Pete.
He was specifically dispatched by Ji Mingche to complete the task together with Lu Xiangxiang.
When he had arrived to complete the task just now, he saw Lu Xiangxiang with the knife poised to strike Jian Si's face, which shocked him greatly, prompting him to immediately step in to stop her.
Lu Xiangxiang was already angry, and hearing Pete's words made her even more jealous and enraged.
"I'm in charge here now, let go..."
Pete stood immovable, his eyes resolute, "Miss Lu, if Miss Jian gets hurt, the boss will punish me, please think thrice, Miss Lu."
Seeing that he was not listening to her, Lu Xiangxiang became infuriated and tried to shake off his hand.
