Chapter 6

Barbara's lips curled up into a smile and she replied, "Thank you, sir. Now that I've lost my job and have no where to go, being locked up here might help me to tide things for the time being since I wouldn't have to worry about food and shelter. Forget about the apology".

Seeing how resistant she was towards the idea of apologizing, the police sighed and left. Irene knew that Dexter would not let her off the hook and she decided to make the best out of the situation and wait to see what tricks he had up his sleeves.

She doesn't think that Dexter would be able to abuse his power and dictate the law. As the thought crossed her mind, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps at the door. After the door was pushed open, she saw Jeremy standing at the door with a furious look on his face.

"Barbara how dare you!"

"Mr Black!" Barbara greeted in a low voice.

"I've never had an assistant like you who not only fail to be of help but even cause trouble for me!"

Jeremy lectured her fiercely. However, he quickly fell silent when he saw how pathetic Barbara seemed.

"What happened? How the hell did you end up in such state?"

"Someone poured wine onto me but it's no big deal."

"Who did it?" Jeremy spay out the question through gritted teeth.

"It's someone whom I don't know!"

"I'm so ashamed of you! How dare you get bullied like this?" Jeremy asked and picked up his mobile phone before he called someone and instructed, "Send me two men. Someone bullied my assistant and we need to teach them a lesson"

"Mr Black, that person is now in the hospital, there's no need to teach her a lesson. She's the one who's going to teach me a lesson now."

"Good job!" Jeremy praised and he instantly brightened up. "It's okay, now that I'm here, nobody would dare punish you. Get up we're leaving"

"Leaving?"

"Do you want to stay here?" Jeremy said. He then turned and walked out. After a moment of hesitation, Barbara stood up and followed him.

No one stopped her as she followed Jeremy out of the police station. When they reached the parking lot, Jeremy suddenly burst into laugher at the sight of her.

Jeremy's laughter came out of the blues and Barbara merely stood and stared at him. After laughing for a long time, he stopped.

"Barbara, that was fucking cool! You're so ugly and you couldn't do anything well but who would have imagined that you could he so fierce? No man would dare marry a woman like you"

Jeremy had always had a sharp tongue, so Barbara merely lowered her eyes and remained silent as he spoke.

Jeremy couldn't care less if she was angry about what he said and continued, "it's all because of you. You wasted my time. I'd planned to spend a night with Lulu and you ruined it. Take a cab back by yourself. Your bonus for this month would be halved"

After saying this, he got into the car and left. Barbara stood rooted to the spot for a while before she made her way to the nearby bus station with a heavy heart.

Less than five minutes after she left, a luxurious Aston Martin over in the parking lots of the police station . Dexter was seated in the back seat. His assistant,John Davis, got out of the car to open the door for him.

"Mr Lorenzo, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"That's not necessary. Go in and tell her that we will let her off the hook this time but she won't have it easy if it happens again"

John nodded and headed for the police station. As Dexter watched him go, he couldn't help but feel frustrated at the thought of how pathetic Barbara looked.

"Barbara, you've always been wild and unruly, haven't you? Money never meant anything you you and you were the one who wanted to leave me without a penny to your name. Why can't you fucking live a better life? Why are you a waitress now abd even landed yourself in such a pathetic state?"

Dexter lit up a cigarette. After he took a puff, he saw John come out of the police station. "Mr Lorenzo, someone took madam away" He reported.

"Someone took her away? Who? Was it Nathan?" Dexter fired out three questions in a row but John shook his head, "No, it's Jeremy Black!"

"Jeremy Black? Haha!" Dexter sneered. Dexter and Nathan were close friends and judging from how quickly he came to rescue Barbara, it wasn't hard for Dexter to tell hoe much Barbara meant to Nathan.

He then crushed tbe cigarettes butt in his palms fiercely and said, "Let's go!"

Barbara waited at the bus stop for half an hour before a bus arrived. When she arrived home, her uncle, Thomas was watching movie in tbe living room.

Seeing the state of mess she was in, he exclaimed shocked. "Barbara what happened to you?"

"I met that bitch!" Barbara replied her uncle truthfully..

"Barbara, you shouldn't have come returned! You should have stayed with Nathan..."

"Uncle, I can't possibly stay by Nathan's side all the time. I can't implicate him with my status. Besides you're poor in health and I am worried about you"

"It's all my fault. I'm getting older day by day and becoming an inconvenience to you" Thomas sighed.

"It's okay, I wouldn't remain in San Fetilo for long. The Golden Age Group expanded their operations and started a new company in Oxton, so I may be transferred to work there in the future. When the time comes, we will leave San Fetilo and will never have to meet those birches again"

Meanwhile, Emily had arrived at the Cook family's residence, hurriedly getting off the car and entering the living room. "Mom I'm back!" She yelled.

Deborah Jones who was sitting in the living room looked up. She was utterly stunned when she saw Emily's tousled hair and soiled dress. "What happened?" She probed.

"Let's talk upstairs" Emily replied as she took one glance at the helper who was on the living room. She then held Deborah's hand and led her upstairs..

After closing the door, she immediately said. "Mom, Barbara is back. What should we do?"

"What? Barbara is back? Really?" Deborah was taken aback.

"It's true. I ran into her at the party tonight. She's pretty down trodden and is actually working as a waitress at the party.." Emily told her mother about everything that happened at the party.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you provoke her now?"

"I have to. Mom, think about it. Why did this hitch appear now when she was missing for the past three years?" Emily retorted with an angry look on her face. "She must have appeared deliberately because she knew that I was about to be engaged to Dexter."

"Is that so?" Deborah asked.

"It must be the case. She must be indignant that I snatched Dexter away from her. I'm worried that she will look for Dexter, so it's better for me to take actions first"

"That's a good idea,but your dad... He misses that bitch. If he knew that she's back, he will definitely go find her and that will be troublesome "

"That's why you need to come up with a solution quickly".

"I will think about it. Your father should never announce his relationship with her to the public" Deborah warned resentfully.
