Chase Harper had an honest smile and an ordinary face, making people feel comfortable.
Kyla looked at him. Men like Chase Harper were great. Sometimes, she even thought that if she had fallen in love with Chase Harper, then she could live a peaceful yet sweet life.
Just then, a car suddenly pulled over at Kyla’s store. A woman got out, ran toward Kyla, and suddenly raised her hand to slap her across the before anyone could react.
Kyla instantly felt her face burn.
“You’re shameless! Why did you seduce someone else’s man?” the woman shouted, drawing the glances of some of the neighbors.
Chase Harper quickly dropped the tools and pulled the woman away. “What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?”
The woman said with hatred, “Chase Harper, you said you were busy when I asked you out.
And now you’re courting this woman? What’s so good about this homewrecker? You should at least find someone younger and more beautiful than me!”
“Samantha Dean, shut up! I just don’t want to see you. It has nothing to do with Kyla. Kyla’s my friend. I forbid you to talk about her like that!” Chase Harper snapped.
“Forbid? What’s the matter? You’re trying to find a stepmother for my daughter, yet I’m not allowed to talk about her? Did you divorce me so readily because of her? Let me tell you, Chase Harper. If you want to get rid of me, give me your shop in the market or everyone will suffer!” Samantha Dean roared.
Chase Harper instantly turned ghastly pale. “According to our divorce agreement, I’ve given you the house and most of my savings. I haven’t even asked you for any child support. Samantha Dean, ask yourself who’s the guilty one!”
Guilt flashed across Samantha Dean’s eyes. However, after seeing how Chase Harper defended Kyla, she immediately said as if she did nothing wrong, “Are you going to give it to me or not? If you refuse, I’ll reveal the dirt on you and this woman. I heard her child is studying in the primary school here. Let’s see who gets humiliated!”
Samantha Dean threatened. It was clear that she was asking for money. She had listened to her lover’s advice and invested all the money she got from the divorce and the mortgage on the house in her lover’s business. However, the business failed to get off the ground and she was now in debt.
Hence, she wanted to use Chase Harper’s shop to settle the debt.
Chase Harper’s face turned red. His ex-wife’s shameless threat put him in a dilemma.
Kyla took one step forward and looked coldly at Samantha Dean. “Chase and I are just friends. Be ready to bear the consequences if you want to spread rumors. I’ll sue whoever dares spread rumors about me till the end. I’ll sue you until you lose all your money. I’ll make you publish a statement and apologize to me in the newspaper!”
Kyla exuded a harsh chill as if she would do anything to protect the people who mattered most to her!
Her aura crushed Samantha Dean and made her gasp for breath.
Step by step, Kyla approached Samantha Dean. “Try it if you don’t believe me!”
“You…” Samantha Dean’s face turned red, and she swung her hand toward Kyla in anger. “You… I’ll kill you…”
Kyla ducked to avoid her, while Chase Harper rushed to hold Samantha Dean.
However, another hand was faster as it slapped Samantha Dean, causing her to stagger back several steps to steady herself.
Samantha Dean covered her face and stared blankly at the handsome, cold man in front of her. The crisp suit he wore and the imposing manner he exuded made him seem like a man of high rank.
“Who… Who are you? You hit me, so I’m calling the police,” shouted Samantha Dean.
Martin Weiss did not even look at her. He only turned to ask Kyla, “Did she hurt you?”
“I’m alright,” said Kyla.
Samantha Dean looked at the way Martin Weiss was concerned about Kyla and felt a pang of jealousy. “This woman isn’t very beautiful, but Chase Harper and this dignified man are both taking her side.’
“Don’t you know how intimate this woman is with my ex-husband? They are so intimate. Speaking of which, a widow with a child won’t be able to stand loneliness…”
Samantha Dean began to speak nastily.
However, halfway through her statement, Samantha Dean was slapped in the face again.
“You…”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The third, the fourth, the fifth… The slaps were incessant. Samantha Dean’s cheeks were swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
“Are you going to go on?” asked Martin Weiss as he looked at Samantha Dean coldly. He did not show mercy even though she was a woman.
Samantha Dean looked terrified as she trembled. She had a feeling that she would suffer more than just slaps if she stayed any longer.
Samantha Dean fled as fast as she could.
Chase Harper looked at Kyla apologetically and said, “I didn’t know she would come here and make a scene. I’ll try… to sort this out with her. I won’t let her come and make a scene again.”
After what had happened, Kyla could now see that Samantha Dean was a woman even more shameless than she had thought.
If an honest man like Chase Harper was going to deal with a shameless person like Samantha Dean, he might give her his shop to avoid trouble.
She knew that Chase Harper’s main income now came from his shop. If he lost his shop, he and his daughter would suffer greatly.
“It’s okay if she wants to come here and make a scene again, but don’t give in too much to her. If you give in once, there’ll be many more times in the future. You’ll be left with no choice in the end!” Kyla warned him.
Chase Harper said, “Okay, I got it. Let me know if she bothers you again.”
Their concern for each other stung Martin Weiss’s eyes.
Chase Harper then turned to Martin Weiss and said, “Mr. Weiss, thank you for just now!”
“You’re thanking me?” Martin Weiss sneered. “I’m just helping Kyla out. You don’t need to thank me.”
The ‘thank you’ made it sound like they were together, while he was just an outsider!
Chase Harper was instantly embarrassed.
Kyla looked at Martin Weiss. “Why did you come?”
“Would you believe me if I said I came over because I missed you and Nelson?” asked Martin Weiss, “Mr. Weiss, I think I’ve made it clear to you that you’re only troubling me by behaving like this,” she said.
“Trouble?” Martin Weiss smiled mockingly as he pointed to Chase Harper and said, “If I’m troubling you, what about him? Isn’t he troubling you?”
“He’s my friend! Leave him out of this!” said Kyla as she stood between Chase Harper and Martin Weiss.
However, what she did seem to trigger him even more. Martín Weiss’s face darkened as he said, “What if I have to involve him? What’s so good about this guy? What about him is worth defending? What can he give you that I can’t?”
He could not help uttering these words as if jealousy had crumbled all his composure.
“Martin Weiss, I won’t forgive you if you lay a hand on Chase! I will never forgive you!” Kyla glared at him as she spoke with utter determination.
Martin Weiss stiffened as he looked at Kyla with determination.
She said something like that for Chase Harper… ‘Does that mean…’
“Is this man that important to you?” he murmured while his face was ghastly pale.
“Yes, he’s my friend. Of course, he’s important to me!” said Kyla. She met Martin Weiss’s eyes without the slightest fear.
She was only afraid that she would trouble Chase and that Martin Weiss would do something to him!
