After finishing her last sentence, Rosie looked up at Xander. She seemed mentally prepared for his answer. Xander’s eyes flickered with some emotions. To be honest, he had no idea. He only listened to Ivanka’s instructions. However, he could not reveal anything. He looked at Rosie with a smile, then he made it sound like he was just talking about the weather. “It depends on if your body still lacks the essential nutrients. If not, then you naturally don’t have to take the injection anymore. But if your body is lacking the nutrients, you need to take the shot.” Rosie sighed in resignation. She analyzed his words and said, “In other words, I’ll need to take a few more shots if my body is still lacking the essential nutrients.” Xander said nothing more. His silence meant consent. Meanwhile, Ivanka said with a grin, “Grandma, that’s why you need to take care of your health. You need to stay optimistic and watch your temper. If not, you’ll need to take another shot.” “Why do I n
“Alright. There’s nothing more on my side. Quick, go and watch the movie now. You don’t need to keep me company. Xander, you can go back and do your work, or take a rest at home. You can all leave now.” As Rosie said this, she looked exceptionally happy. Xander looked a bit stunned and wondered. “Watch a movie together?” He wondered what had happened before he came. Ivanka fell speechless. Meanwhile, Michael said calmly, “No hurry.” “Nonsense! You can always ask them to show the movie earlier. You can go now.” Ivanka did not know what else to say. Xander touched the tip of his nose. He finally figured it out that his presence would only affect their relationship. That was why Rosie had asked him to leave. Michael looked resigned. Rosie instantly said, “Go now! Samuel will come back in a while, and I still have a lot of things to chat with him about. Don’t stay around as a third wheel over here.” Xander could not help but smile. His eyes were filled with amusement. “Ok
“I beg you. Let go of me! Please!” The girl’s voice sounded a little clearer than the other two voices. “Are you begging us to let you go? Do you think begging will help you now?” When he said this, the man suddenly laughed obscenely. “If you want, you can ask us for other things later. We might go gentle on you.” After that, the man laughed obscenely again. He sounded extremely sickening over the phone. Xander’s expression was colder as he growled, “Turn on hands-free.” The girl panicked. Only Xander could save her. She had no choice but to do what Xander asked her to. She quickly turned on the hands-free speaker function. “I’ve turned it on.” She only said these few words softly and nothing else. Just as the two men were about to come over, she raised her phone in fright and exclaimed, “The person on the phone wants to talk to you!” The men’s expressions instantly sank. “How dare you call for help, you b*tch?!” After the men said that, they rushed up and wanted to
Drake was already in a state of panic. The person next to him did not even finish his sentence and purposely left him hanging. Drake grew even more panicked. He immediately looked at the person next to him and asked urgently, “Who is he?” The girl’s face was still pale, but her heart relaxed the tiniest bit at the sudden realization that both men were afraid. She was gripping tightly onto her phone, as she was terrified that she would accidentally drop it. If she were to hang up accidentally, these two would do as they pleased with her. What would she do then? She was so absolutely nervous at that moment. The thug next to Drake took a deep breath and said in a panic, “It sounds like Mr. Quinn…” “Mr. Quinn!” Drake called out extremely loudly in panic. When the girl realized that they addressed Xander properly, she was overjoyed! Calling Xander for help had worked after all! Drake took a deep breath amid his panic to try and control his emotions as much as possible. Th
“Run?” The thug’s mind was filled with a single thought. He was entirely in a state of panic. “If we stay and Mr. Quinn sees us both here when he comes over, won’t we be an eyesore to him and make him even angrier?” Drake instantly felt that he had a point and immediately whispered, “Go talk to him!” The thug was Drake’s lackey. Even if he was not happy about this, he did not dare to say it out loud. He could only suck in a breath and take a step toward the girl. It was as if this would show how sincere he was. However, the girl screamed in fright, “Don’t come over!” As she said that, she took three steps backward. It just added two feet to the distance between them. The thug was terrified. He quickly stretched his hands out and waved them about. “No, no, no. I don’t mean to harm you. I just want to say a few things to Mr. Quinn…” “You can say what you want from where you stand!” The girl looked at the two men in front of her warily. They were both terrified. The thug
The girl’s eyes were bright, and the tear tracks on her face had dried up, but Xander could still see her red, swollen eyes.“You’re finally here…” she said pitifully.Xander’s eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at her. Then, he looked at Drake and the thug.With an indifferent yet intimidating gaze, he made the two people kneel from fear at the same time. Even the aggrieved girl was a little surprised at this moment. How did these two people change their attitudes so fast?She remained silent. Although Xander was looking in the thugs’ direction, his words were directed at the girl.“Did they touch you?”Drake and the thug immediately shook their heads in panic. The thug’s reaction was pretty quick. He immediately said, “We didn’t! It was just a joke. She called just in time. So, we didn’t do anything!”“They grabbed my hair and pulled my sleeve.”Xander glanced at her and realized that her hair was indeed disheveled. There were also some black stains on her white sleeves.
The girl looked at him as if he were an angel descending from heaven. Her eyes were filled with adoration. With him there, she felt truly at ease.Xander did not look at her. Instead, he coldly stared at the two men in front of him. “You know Salsa’s rules. Start turning yourselves in today. Don’t make me use force.”The faces of the two men instantly turned pale. Although Xander had forgiven them for their previous mistakes, they had exhausted his grace. What were they going to do?“Mr. Quinn, we...”Xander glanced at the girl. “Let’s go.”Color had returned to the girl’s pale face. She did not say a word and immediately followed Xander. The two men, who were still kneeling on the ground, continued to plead. However, it was futile.In their minds, Xander and their boss were as close as brothers. They even thought their boss took orders from Xander. Xander’s command had left them completely out of options.They had no power to resist and no other options! They could only choose
Ivanka looked at him, puzzled. “What does that mean?”Michael did not stop the car but kept driving. He did not respond to Ivanka’s question the entire drive. Ivanka frowned and asked, “What are you trying to do?”Just as she finished speaking, Michael parked in front of a movie theater.Ivanka turned her head and saw a large vertical sign that read “Cinema City” in big letters.Ivanka’s frown deepened. “You’re really taking me to the movies?”Had he lost his mind?Just telling Rosie they went would have sufficed. There was no need to actually follow through.However, Michael looked at her and said, “If we don’t make it convincing, do you think Grandma will believe us? She’s so happy today. If she finds out we didn’t actually go to the movies and there’s no buzz about it online, don’t you think she’ll be disappointed?”Ivanka was momentarily speechless.Michael had thought it all through.“Get out,” Michael said as he opened the driver’s door. Someone was already waiting to t
