章 273: Chapter 273: You Want to Cling to My Head? 1

"Gail..." Douglas Foster tried to grab Gail Wright's hand, but she slapped it away.

Douglas Foster sighed and said, "I know you still hate me because of the past, but... I have already broken off my engagement with her, and I want to start anew with you. I came to see you today...not only to ask for your help in pleading for Evelyn Foster but also... to start anew with you."

"When did we ever start... to start anew?" Gail scoffed again.

Douglas Foster's heart sank as Gail's laughter pierced him: "Gail... don't be like this!"

As he spoke, a pain in his heart made him unable to bear Gail's gaze. He stretched out his hand to grab Gail and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly: "Even if you don't plead for Evelyn Foster, please don't say things like that, I..."

Before Douglas could finish his sentence, he felt a strong force gripping his wrist... with a bit of force, he winced in pain. Before he could react, a blow to the stomach made him drop to the ground, defenseless.
