Chapter 8
She jumped out of bed, intending to go find her documents, but then the memory suddenly hit her!
When she was surrounded by those guys, she remembered swinging her purse at them, and then it slipped from her hand…
“Oh, no! My documents” Clara thought and immediately rushed out.
Emmett frowned in waming. “If you go back now, those guys might still be there”
“But I have to find my documents! This is my first job, I can’t just screw it up! My son is waiting for me to earn money to take him to an amusement park!” She couldn’t lose this job!
Son?
Emmett was slightly surprised. “You… you have a kid?”
“Yes! I have a son named Alex, he’s five years old!”
Then she wasn’t that woman, because Aiden was also five, and born in the summer, she couldn’t have given birth to two children in one year
Snapping out of his daze, Emmett realized that the woman had disappeared.
He was frowning; he felt he had already interfered enough and shouldn’t let this woman he just met influence his thoughts! But thinking about the danger she might face going back, he couldn’t help but worry.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Emmett decided to say, “Matt, go find that woman.”
Clara hurried to find her documents, but they were nowhere to be found. She searched everywhere, even rummaged through the nearby trash cans!
What to do… was she going to lose her job right off the bat? She had promised Alex to take him to the amusement park, buy him new clothes and toys! She couldn’t lose her job!
As Clara reached for another trash can, she suddenly heard the voices of a few men.
“Look, the woman is back!”
“She’s got some nervel”
One of them walked up and shoved Clara, “Are you here to repay us?”
Caught off guard, Clara stumbled back a few steps.
“TII definitely pay you back. Can you give me some time?”
“No way! How are we supposed to live if we give you time?”
The leader of the group threw away his toothpick, looked at Clara, and smirked, “You have one other option… come with me! Become my woman, and I’ll let you pay later.”
Clara shook her head immediately, holding her chest, “I… I’m a woman with a child. I’m not good enough for you! Can’t you give me a little more time?”
The man walked up, grabbed Clara’s hair. The pain made her wince!
“Why should I give you time? You think my money grows on trees? I’m giving you the chance to be my woman because I think you’re worth it. Don’t be ungrateful!”
The man raised his hand to hit Clara again, she had closed her eyes, waiting for the impending slap…..
But, the slap never came! Suddenly, the man screamed in pain, letting go of Clara’s hair.
“Ah–Fuck! Who, who dares touch me?!”
Matt sneered. He single–handedly subdued the man with ease and forced him to kneel before Emmett!
“Behave!*
The man looked up to see Emmett, his face paled in an instant. He started to stutter. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
*Si… sir, Mr. Melendez! What what are you doing here?”
“She owes you money?” Emmett arched an eyebrow, asking calmly.
“Yes! Her father owes me a lot of money! I had no choice but to do this! I really didn’t know she was your friend! If I knew I wouldn’t dare touch your friend……….”
“How much does she owe?”
Upon hearing Emrynett’s question, Clara was taken aback!
Was he planning… to help her pay off the debt?
