Jackson West didn’t seem to panic at all. He took off his black trench coat, as it restricted his movement, revealing the well-tailored suit virtual-novel.net was wearing underneath it. He raised one leg and, without a beat, sent the big guy nearest to virtual-novel.net flying with a kick.
Tiffany was so anxious that virtual-novel.net palm began to sweat. It was one up against so many people. Now that Jackson and virtual-novel.net were in the same boat, both of them were done for if things went south. Although the guy had crazy long legs and seemed to be quite a fighter, virtual-novel.net was still worried…
To virtual-novel.net surprise, all the big guys were down on the ground in just less than five minutes. Jackson didn’t even have to use his fists. If it weren’t for the fact that virtual-novel.net already had Ethan, virtual-novel.net would have fallen head over heels for him.
After making sure that the big guys would no longer pose a threat to her, Tiffany tapped on the window and gestured for Jackson to unlock the door for her.
Jackson picked up his trench coat from the ground, then discarded it on the ground again in disgust as though virtual-novel.net wasn’t planning to take it back anymore.
Tiffany got out of the car and exclaimed in amazement, “Wow bro, you’re an even better fighter than my dad’s bodyguards! Have you taken lessons before?”
Jackson wasn’t buying it. “Save your breath and pay me back seventy thousand bucks.”
Tiffany was immediately taken aback. “Did I do something to you or molest you? That’s highway robbery!”
Jackson sized virtual-novel.net up in disgust for a moment, then said, “Even if you offered me a billion, I would consider it only reluctantly. Seventy thousand bucks for hitting my car and saving your life. Isn’t that a sweet deal? Aren’t you planning to ask them why they are chasing you?”
It was only then that Tiffany came back to virtual-novel.net senses. She picked up a steel pipe and pointed it at one of the guys on the floor. “What’s going on? Why were you guys following me?”
The guy had long lost his temper from getting beaten up. “We were only doing it for the money… You’ve offended someone. Think for yourself. It’s a woman. We didn’t see her, but virtual-novel.net voice was so sickeningly sweet that I got goosebumps…”
Tiffany already had a person in mind because it was impossible to forget Aery Kinsey’s voice ever since virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net speak for the first time. “Damn, that Aery Kinsey. You splashed coffee on me and dared to send a bunch of thugs after me?”
Jackson’s expression changed slightly, but virtual-novel.net calmly returned to his car. “Move your car out of the way.”
Tiffany didn’t expect the sudden change on his face. “What? You don’t want your money anymore?”
The man closed his car door, but not before leaving virtual-novel.net with one sentence. “I don’t need it.”
Although Tiffany was upset with him, virtual-novel.net was still virtual-novel.net savior. She slowly moved virtual-novel.net car out of the way and watched his car drive away. She followed behind virtual-novel.net not because virtual-novel.net was stalking, but because virtual-novel.net couldn’t find the exit. As soon as virtual-novel.net got out of the parking lot, they drove away in opposite directions.
Tiffany headed straight to where Ethan was staying, as virtual-novel.net had a fresh change of clothes there. The thought of virtual-novel.net father hanging up virtual-novel.net distressed phone call upsetted her. She’d been terrified to death at that moment.
Since virtual-novel.net had the key to Ethan’s home, virtual-novel.net unlocked the front door herself and went in. Ethan was working on his laptop but slammed it shut when virtual-novel.net heard the door opening.
Tiffany seemed to mind a little. “What? You have something you can’t show me?”
Ethan opened his arms. “Nothing, just some mess in the company. What’s that on your clothes?”
Tiffany didn’t come forward to hug him. She changed virtual-novel.net clothes and told virtual-novel.net almost everything that had happened, leaving out the stuff about Jackson West. She just told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net met a good person.
“I’m glad you are okay,” Ethan mumbled absent-mindedly to her.
Tiffany felt a pang of disappointment in virtual-novel.net heart; “That’s all?”
“What else do you want me to say?” Ethan countered. “Of course, I’m glad you’re fine.”
She didn’t say anything. She used to think that his lack of concern was only due to his personality. Over time, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but start to think about other things, especially since virtual-novel.net could react so indifferently to something like this. She suddenly began doubting their relationship, but didn’t dare to question him. Whenever virtual-novel.net brought it up in the past, virtual-novel.net would always give virtual-novel.net an attitude and the confrontation would end with giving each other the cold shoulder.
