Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: Ch 312: Wild Card
‘I cannot believe Emily’s audacity! How dare she strike my face just because she did not like what I said about Rika. Just where does she get this confidence from? I will show her that no one dares to mess with me.’

Suzie felt her insides boil from the anger and humiliation she had suffered at Emily Steinz’s hands.

Now, Suzie no longer felt the same admiration and love for the alpha as she did before. It was all being replaced by hatred and irritation toward the older alpha.

The slap was making Suzie’s face swell, and no amount of makeup would fix it. Suzie would need to head home to hide away the shame she was feeling.

“Are you alright? Do you need me to go and fetch some ice for your cheeks?”

Rocxx asked in a severe voice. He was the only one who seemed to be on Suzie’s side, but his presence irritated Suzie.

She longed to accept Rocxx’s help, to be comforted by his presence. But each time he drew near, a wave of discomfort washed over her, pushing him away.

Rocxx was a remarkable alpha with a special place in Suzie’s heart. But a lifetime of being surrounded by exceptionally handsome alphas had altered Suzie’s preferences. She found it increasingly difficult to be content with the ordinary.

“It’s okay! Just help me find mother and father. I will tell them that I am heading home now. I cannot take this humiliation anymore.”

Suzie confessed before she placed her hand on her cheek to hide the swelling.

A few people had noticed her and had already started to gossip.

Rocxx looked concerned for Suzie, but he did not contradict what she had asked him to do. He instantly turned around to look for the Goodwill couple in the crowd.

He spotted them quickly, but when he turned to see Suzie, she was already walking away.

“Suzie, we need to head this way-”

Rocxx called out before he saw a scum alpha approaching Suzie.

The only remarkable thing about the alpha who approached Suzie was his handsome face, which was on par with Damian and Emily. But Rocxx could spot the sinister intentions in that alpha’s eyes from a mile away.

He watched as the alpha approached Suzie and grabbed her hand.

Suzie, the fool she was, allowed the alpha to touch her causally, and she did not even notice the way she was being taken advantage of by the alpha.

She was not dull or stupid, but Suzie was incredibly weak to handsome faces.

Rocxx had to head toward Suzie and forcefully pull her apart from her company. Her snuck his arm around Suzie’s shoulder and pulled her close to his body.

“Suzie, didn’t you say you wanted to head to your mother? Come, we should head there now. We should not waste time on fools like this.”

The older alpha glared at the unwanted fly sticking to his Suzie. But the fly only smoked back at Suzie with his calm expression.

“It was lovely talking to you, Miss Goodwill. I hope I get to talk to you again soon.”

The unknown scum took Suzie’s hand on his own and kissed it lightly before leaving. It made Suzie swoon, and she looked a lot more taken with that scum than Rocxx’s initial guess.

“Wasn’t he such a sweetheart? I think I found the one I want to persuade next.”

Suzie spoke, and Rocxx held back his desire to throttle her where she stood. But he held his desire back and dragged Suzie back to her parents.

He knew he could no longer handle Suzie but hoped the older Goodwill couple could keep her out of trouble.

…

“You were supposed to take a left from here!”

“I know! But we are being chased by the local gangs. It is not easy to shake them off! And we are dead if we get caught by these people.”

Rika’s consciousness faded in and out of focus as she came around.

The drug was finally wearing off, and Rika could tell that she was in a car. Rika kept her mouth quiet to know more about her situation.

‘Wow! My recent record of being kidnapped is once every other week. Looks like it is being maintained!’

Rika should be terrified right now, but she could not feel anything. She was still numb from the medicine she had taken, and even her arms felt like they were asleep.

“Hey, check up on our guest, will you? It’s about time the chloroform starts wearing off. I am afraid that she might wake up any minute now.”

The kidnapper complained as he kept driving.

The second one likely turned around to look at Rika, and she quickly realized that she had a blindfold on her eyes.

Rika did not even realize she could not see anything since she was half-asleep.

“She looks asleep, but I’ll keep checking to ensure she does not wake up. But are you sure this will be fine? We are dealing with the Goodwill’s here! We might die if we are not careful.”

The second kidnapper asked in a worried voice. He had every reason to ask this question since he had a family to feed.

“Don’t be such a worry-wart! Our faces were covered, and our acne would have wavered by now. We won’t need to worry about a thing once we hand over this omega to the triads.”

The first kidnapper spoke softly but with confidence at the same time.

He was revealing things that Rika found interesting.

She had not expected to hear the triads being mentioned, but it was big news if those people were behind her kidnapping.

The real target of this kidnap had been Suzie, so it was clear that the triads wanted to make a deal with the Goodwill family, with Suzie being held as a hostage in their base.

Rika’s involvement had likely foiled all their plans. She was an unknown variable in their plans, and as long as her identity was not questioned, Rika was sure she would continue to be the wild card.
