Chapter 1843
[ 546 words ]
“As long as Chief Stone handles this fairly, I’m fine. Otherwise, with him screaming about how he runs these streets, I’d be too terrified to ever walk around this
neighborhood again.”
Macy was not someone who let things slide easily, especially since Keegan was involved. She glared at Quinton with pure hostility. With her cousin backing her up, she had no intention of letting the thug off the hook.
“What?” Silas had never heard that claim before.
He shot a murderous glare at his brother-in-law. “You’ve been acting like that out there?”
Seeing his brother-in-law genuinely enraged, Quinton finally looked guilty. “I just didn’t want to look weak! Besides, you manage this entire district. Doesn’t that mean I’m under your protection?”
Silas’s temple throbbed. “So that means everyone on these streets has to call you boss? Do the officers in my station have to call you boss too?”
Furious, Silas grabbed a nearby binder and hurled it at Quinton. Whether it was for show or out of genuine anger, the beating was real.
Claire didn’t care how the situation played out afterward. Caleb would handle the follow-up.
As for Sophia, who had inflicted the most damage, no one dared ask her for medical bills. Caleb’s presence guaranteed that.
Once they were outside, Macy turned to Claire and Sophia with profound gratitude.
“Claire, Sophia, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you two stepping in, we would have been in serious trouble tonight!”
A man who casually harassed women wouldn’t hesitate to beat them. Macy would never have stood by while Keegan got jumped, so without Claire and Sophia, she and Keegan would have definitely ended up in the hospital.
And Keegan had already taken hits to the face. If he suffered permanent scarring or a leg injury, his dancing career would be over.
The thought made Macy shudder. She shouldn’t have brought him out for late-night food. He finally had a day off; why hadn’t she just let him rest?
She was drowning in guilt.
“Don’t mention it. We would have stepped in no matter who was being harassed,” Sophia said breezily.
Claire nodded. “We didn’t even recognize you at first, but we weren’t going to sit there and watch some creep put his hands on a girl.”
Macy felt incredibly lucky. There
were so many men at that food stall, yet not a single one had stepped in.
It was two girls who charged in to fight off the thugs. fo FindNovel.net
Whether they were trained in martial arts or not, their courage was awe-inspiring. Quinton had literally grabbed a meat cleaver to attack them even though someone had Knocked the weapon out of his hand, the situation had been terrifyingly dangerous.
Dane’s expression was grim after watching the footage. Caleb could tell he was deeply worried about Claire.
Caleb apologized to Dane privately, acknowledging that his cousin had caused this massive headache.
Although Dane was displeased, he couldn’t take it out on Macy. “It wasn’t her fault.”
Caleb promised to treat them to dinner the next day before dragging Macy and her idol boyfriend away. He had a lot of scolding left to do.
Dane drove Claire back to Pandora’s courtyard. He hadn’t realized the old matriarch owned such prime real estate in Cabinda, This location was worth millions of dollars.
People mocked Dane for marrying a country girl, completely unaware that she was
a hidden diamond disguised in dirt.
