Chapter 173 Paper Tiger

It was at this time that Melinda noticed the man. He had a long scar on his face, looking like a savage.

Thinking of this, Melinda swallowed nervously with her eyes wide open.

The man looked at Melinda angrily. He did not expect that she would be so violent. His anger was even more frightening. Melinda unconsciously reached out her hand to search the things in her bag.

It was not far away from the community, so she should be able to escape safely.

"Why did you follow me?" Melinda still waved the iron bar, as if she was threatening. The man felt a little annoyed that he didn't expect himself to be beaten. The wound on his body reminded him that Melinda was not a woman to be trifled with.

"If you don't tell me the truth now, I'll call the police," Melinda threatened.

When the man heard her words, his expression changed a little. Finally, he said helplessly, "Mr. Gu asked me to protect you."

'Mr. Gu? Jonas?' Melinda began to think.

The fierce looking man in front of her was here to protect her, but she just beat him. Recalling that, Melinda found that he did not fight back, but protected himself from too much harm.

Seeing that she was still suspecting him, the man explained, "Last time, Mr. Gu found out that Emily had put a tracker in him. Then he found out that Emily was looking for someone to retaliate against you."

"Revenge on me? I haven't bothered her recently, have I?" Melinda was puzzled. Why did Emily badger her when she only worked hard?

The poker faced scarred man's face convulsed. Obviously, he was speechless to what Melinda paid attention to.

"Mr. Gu knows that you don't want him to follow and protect you, but he is worried about your comfort, so he arranged me to escort you home after work,"

the man said. He thought, 'Mr. Gu is such a cold man. Sometimes he is so soft. But this woman is really a little more violent.'

Although he had a strong resistance and had had more severe injuries than this, he felt ashamed to be hit by a woman like this.

Melinda was touched by the consideration of Jonas, but her gratitude didn't last long.

No matter what he did or how well he did now, it couldn't make up for what he had done in the past.

"I don't need his fake kindness." Now that Melinda knew who he was, she was not nervous at all. She crossed her arms and sneered.

The man thought that Melinda was ungrateful. He was annoyed by her reaction and wanted to teach her a lesson.

He was not happy for Jonas, but he also wanted to revenge for himself. Anyway, he could only think about it.

"Miss Mo, you really don't know anything, two days ago, a man followed behind you and was about to attack you, but I stopped him."

He told her about the danger of that day, as if it was just a casual thing. However, Melinda was frightened into a cold sweat. If it had not been for someone protecting her two days ago, she might have been hurt now.

It was not until now

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

wn the pen in his hand, kneaded his temples to soothe his intense nerve.

In fact, he said that was not only for comforting Melinda. The call had saved him from endless work, and the periodical office very busy recently.

The tea that his wife made had already cooled down. Kent took a sip casually. His slightly dry voice was much better all of a sudden.

"It sounds like I am heartless," Melinda murmured to herself. Then she realized that she could only call Kent for help. She felt very guilty for no reason.

"Aren't you?"

If someone asked Kent about it, he would immediately name Melinda as the most heartless one among the people he knew.

Thanks to the teasing of Kent, Melinda was less nervous. She sat on the bed with legs crossed and prepared to speak.

"Kent, do you still remember Emily?"

"Why did you mention her? What a bummer!" Of course, Kent wouldn't forget Emily, because Melinda's suffering had everything to do with that Emily, not to mention that she was the one once Jonas loved.

Even though she was not the one he loved for a long time.

"I was followed by someone recently. It turned out that Emily was behind that." Melinda had removed the role played by Jonas in this matter naturally.

Hearing this, Kent's heart missed a beat. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I am okay, Jonas... I'm just worried that she might have a plan B." Melinda simply told him that Jonas had arranged someone to protect her, and then told him what had troubled her the whole night.

Emily was absolutely a time bomb. Although she did nothing, Melinda was too scared to sleep.

"You can't fall asleep because of this?" It had to be said that Kent really knew Melinda well. From this moment on, he figured out why she called him at late night. He was immediately irritated that she hesitated to tell him this thing.

"Yes." Melinda felt even more embarrassed. She was a paper tiger sometimes, and she was indeed afraid of it.
