Chapter 115 - Come and Knock Me Down
Chapter 115: Come and Knock Me Down
[Margaret’s Perspective]
This was already considered humiliating.
In an instant, I wanted to leave this place without caring about anything.
I wanted to stay away from Angel, stay away from the words that would hurt me.
But I knew that if I left now, Angel would definitely see me as a joke. She would humiliate me even more in the future.
Therefore, I could not retreat. I could only fight.
Besides, when she mentioned that she was with Donald in the morning, I wanted to punch her in the face.
Donald was my Mate. He belonged to me alone.
His body, his soul, and his heart belonged to me. Even if his relationship with Angel only existed in Angel’s mouth, I was unwilling to accept it.
Moreover, deep down, I was afraid of another possibility.
Armstrong wanted to get back together with me shortly after he got together with Elizabeth. That period of time was not too long, and the time I spent with Donald was almost that long.
Would Donald be as bored with me as Armstrong was with Elizabeth? He might be starting to miss his ex-girlfriend.
I knew that our situations were not the same and Donald was good to me. His love for me was completely reflected in his actions. As for Elizabeth and Armstrong, they looked like they were about to reach the level of separation.
Angel was already taking off her coat across from me.
She was wearing a green sports bra. Two thin straps covered her collarbone. The bra only covered half her breasts.
Above the bra, two more half-curved straps passed between her breasts, accentuating the deep groove between them. Her breasts were so curvaceous, she looked like a knockout.
If she really is a b*tch, she’s going to be rich enough with what she’s got,?I thought not unkindly.
I looked away and prepared for the event.
This training room was built a long time ago. Before, Armstrong, Anthony, and I would often come here to spar. There were no superfluous decorations here. There were only some thin blankets on the cement floor to divide up the venue. In the past, if we fell onto the cement floor, it would hurt for a long time.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Angel was stretching too. I thought about how to defeat her. I had to make her pay for what she had just said. The sad thing was that I couldn’t see any weakness in her.
Her center of gravity kept moving back and forth between her left and right feet. Her steps were steady, and she landed in almost the same spot every time. I could tell that her core strength was strong. Her muscles weren’t just for show. They were filled with explosive power.
“Come on, did my words anger you? Come and knock me down!” Angel challenged.
I could feel my heart racing. I looked around. Elizabeth still hadn’t returned.
Angel raised her eyebrows and sneered. “Do you need me to teach you the most basic fighting stance, Margaret?”
As she spoke, she struck a move.
She was a complete b*tch.
“No, I know what to do myself,” I said through gritted teeth.
“If you think you’re doing the right thing, then I have nothing to say.” Angel’s sharp eyes wandered over my body. Her expression was as if my current posture was wrong.
“Can we start now?” I cracked my knuckles and said coldly.
“If you want to start, of course.” Angel was still smiling. She said slowly, “Although your experience and skills are not worth mentioning…”
I couldn’t take it anymore. Before she could finish, I threw a punch.
A look of surprise crossed Angel’s face. She hadn’t expected me to act so quickly.
Immediately, her lips curled into a disdainful smile. She only made a simple move and took a step back with her left foot. It was too late for me to retract my fist. I was about to miss it.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Angel spin and raise her right elbow, about to strike me directly under the chin. Her timing was perfect, right when I hadn’t finished my last move and couldn’t gather my strength in time.
If she had hit me, I would have lost my balance and fallen to the ground. If she had used more strength, she might have shattered my chin.
Helpless, I could only raise my head to dodge this attack, but this exposed my fragile throat to Angel.
“Hmph. You have courage.” Angel snorted in my ear.
Unexpectedly, her raised right hand was only a feint. Before I could look up and see her movements, she had already regained her posture. Her left fist came straight up from below and hit me hard in the stomach.
I took a few steps back from her merciless punch and finally had to half kneel to maintain my balance.
