Chapter 1257:
Cold sweat trickled down Hadley’s face, and panic surged through her chest.
What now? Someone was really following her. A stalker. She was sure of it!
Frantically, she reached into her bag. Her fingers closed around something solid. A half-brick she always carried.
It was a strange habit, but one she'd never shaken.

The footsteps drew closer. He was just seconds away from finding her. Hadley closed her eyes, reached into her

Without thinking twice, she lunged forward, lifted the brick high, and slammed it down on him. “Die! Just die!”
Hadley, eyes squeezed shut, flailed about like a storm unleashed, unaware of the havoc she wrought. The
spacious parking lot resounded with groans of anguish and the sharp crash of breaking objects.
Sprawled on the floor, a man shielded his head in a desperate bid for safety.

imagine his pursuit would end with him on the receiving end of a thrashing.
“Stop!” he cried, wincing in pain as he tried to fend off the blows. “I didn’t mean you any harm!”
But Hadley, lost in her frenzy, seemed deaf to his words, swinging the brick in her hand with wild abandon.
“Hey!” the paparazzo barked, seizing Hadley’s wrist. “I'm talking to you! Aren't you listening?”
