Chapter 101
101 They Knew Each Other
“Empathy Clinic?” Carl thought it sounded familiar.
The young gangster reminded him, “That’s the place where we had a massage.”
Wynter raised an eyebrow. “What a coincidence. You’re one of our old customers.”
Carl was dumbfounded. “But the masseur is just an old lady, isn’t it?”
Wynter was unfazed. “You’re right. That’s my grandma. It was just a foot massage. place then. From
tomorrow onward, it will operate as a traditional medicine clinic. You came to threaten us without even
doing a background check on the customers. That’s interesting.”
Carl blushed a little. “We’re just trying to earn a living. But don’t worry, miss. We won’t ever do this
again.”
Wynter picked up the black bag from the side with her eyebrow raised. “Call me Boss.
Carl was confused. “Huh?”
Although the young man with white hair wasn’t good at judging people, he was quick to respond.
“Boss.”
“Report to work on time tomorrow.” Satisfied, Wynter waved them off. “You can go now. Don’t let the
people from the Waterview Alley see you.” But Wynter was too late
to tell them that.
On the other hand, Susan was riding her scooter while she was on the way to her evening shift. Right
then, she bumped into a group of burly men just around the
corner. They sent shivers down her spine.
“Wyn… Wynter, it’s already late. Why aren’t you heading back home yet?” Susan got closer to Wynter.
Gathering up her courage, she glanced at Carl. “Your grandma
might call the police if she doesn’t see you at home!”
She clearly said that to scare these “gangsters” away.
But Wynter smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt Susan. I’m just having a chat with some

friends.
Susan gulped. “Friends?” The people whom Wynter had been meeting these days
were strange.
Wynter patted on Carl’s back. “This is Carl. Even though he looks terrifying, he’s a kind man. He’s
famous for being a philanthropist in our area.
The gangsters were stunned. “Philanthropist?”
“Oh, he’s a philanthropist.” Susan became relaxed. “I thought he was a loan shark who was here to
collect payments. I was so scared! Tasha said that there have been thugs strolling around our alley for
no reason. You should come back home earlier
from now on.”
Wynter continued smiling. I’ve heard about that. Well, I’ve called Carl over to guard the Waterview Alley
these few days.”
“You must be friendly with each other then!’ Susan was happy. She looked at Carl
with approval. “That’s great!”
Carl couldn’t say anything to that. He couldn’t confess that the thugs that had been lingering around the
alley were themselves, could he?
“We’ll make sure that the Waterview Alley will always be safe!” Carl promised while
patting his chest.
Susan exclaimed in joy. She was desperate to spread the news to everyone. Seeing how friendly they
were being welcomed here, the gangsters were a little dazed.
They had no choice but to set off with Susan, who was on her scooter, to make sure she was safe.
Wynter was unbothered. This had nothing to do with her anyway.
Dalton, who had been standing at the side and watching everything that happened,
couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. His deep-set eyes were glimmering. He looked so
handsome that it could capture anyone’s heart.
He only spoke up after everyone left. His voice was like music. “Dr. Genius, you’re so
good with words, aren’t you? Did you just call Carl a philanthropist?”
Wynter was unfazed. “I just said that because of how the situation was. I didn’t want
to scare Aunt Susan.”

Dalton slid his finger down the beaded bracelet. “Do you know the young white- haired guy?”
Eyes resting somewhere at the side, Wynter’s mind seemed to be somewhere else. She answered
vaguely, “He was in the same garbage dump as Wolf back then.” Dalton’s eyes darkened. What did she
mean by “the same garbage dump”?
