Chapter 6

The rain outside the hotel was pouring.

While waiting for my car, I ran into Jack again.

He was drunk, holding Lily, and came towards me.

"Emma, don't think you can escape me just because your first love is back.

Have you forgotten the days you were my doormat? Want me to remind you now?"

"Besides, trash like you, no one wants except me."

Lily took out a card from her bag and threw it at me.

"Go buy yourself some clothes. You look like a beggar."

I picked up the card from the ground and slammed it into Lily's face.

Seeing the cut on her cheek, I felt great satisfaction.

"You think I don't have dirt on you? Jack, you'd better watch yourself!"

My reaction thoroughly angered Jack, and he raised his hand to hit me again.

"Stop!"

Alex pulled me behind him.

"Mr. Lu, hitting women is never acceptable."

Jack raised an eyebrow, sizing us up.

"Well, if it isn't the great writer? Come to play hero? She's just a whore, why are you helping her?"

"Enough! Jack, shut up!" I shouted.

I wasn't sure what other filth might come out of his mouth.

Jack came closer and shoved Alex hard.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?

You like everything that's mine, don't you?"

"And Emma, your taste is fucking terrible. He's just a sickly weakling!

Wasn't I satisfying enough in bed?"

Alex still stood protectively in front of me. His voice was stern, "Jack, don't go too far!"

At that moment, the car arrived.

Alex took my hand and led me away.
