Shirley Thorne truly hadn't expected the incense bag to be so effective.
The moment she saw the swarm of bees, she grabbed Florence Langley and took off running, not even forgetting to sling her artboard over her back before she left.
This was her cash cow, after all.
Florence Langley stumbled as Shirley Thorne yanked her along. "Ma'am, calm down!" she said urgently.
'Calm down? My ass!'
That massive swarm of bees, black as a thundercloud, was absolutely terrifying, even with Leo Graham and Josephine Grant as shields!
If Shirley Thorne, who wasn't even the bees' target, was this frightened, one could only imagine how Josephine Grant—the one they were actually after—was faring.
If it weren't for her sheer will to survive, she would have already fainted.
"Leo, help me!"
Because Josephine Grant knew Leo Graham was coming, she had specifically worn a pair of sky-high heels to show off her figure. Forget running; she could barely even walk properly.
