Translator: 549690339

Although she had learned some self-defense techniques, the four big men in front of her looked like they had training, and she might not be able to win against them.

Moreover, Elizabeth Aitken was still by her side.

She touched her belly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

These people were obviously not good people, and even if things were resolved now, they might bring more terrifying retaliation for Elizabeth.

“Gentlemen, we can sit down and talk about whatever is bothering you. If you forcibly take us away, everyone will end up worse off,” Molly Walker calmed down. Facing people stronger than herself, she didn’t mind backing down first.

After she finished speaking, the bald man looked her up and down.

He hadn’t looked closely just now, but upon closer inspection, he found that her jewelry, clothes, and handbag were all quite valuable.

He had been struggling in society for so many years and had developed quite a discerning eye.

“Elizabeth, your friend looks very rich. If she’s willing to help you pay off your debt, we won’t have to look for Aaron Howard,” the bald man said.

Elizabeth quickly stood in front of Molly, remembering that she was pregnant and should not be exposed to these scumbags.

“My friend has no money. She’s poorer than me. If you have any problems, just deal with me. Aren’t you guys here to drink? Come on, I’ll join you,” Elizabeth said, just wanting to lead these people away.

It was frustrating and disgusting to encounter these scumbags while finally meeting up with her old friend.

Aaron Howard had gotten into debt through online gambling, and since they couldn’t get the money from him, they came looking for her instead.

She could only blame herself for misjudging people.

If she were with that man…

Elizabeth shook off the fantasy in her head and stubbornly stood in front of

Molly.

The men paid no attention to Elizabeth, their eyes fixed on Molly.

Lustful? All men are lustful.

But they wouldn’t forget that money is more important.

Some people’s lust they wouldn’t dare entertain, but with money, they wouldn’t worry about finding beautiful women.

“Elizabeth, you don’t owe a lot of money. The value of your friend’s bag can cover it,” the bald man said, staring at the bag. He had already looked up the price online.

It was a high-end model from a luxury brand, worth more than one hundred thirty-five thousand dollars.

More than one hundred thirty-five thousand dollars – that would be enough.

The bald man squinted his eyes, staring at Molly’s bag.

Elizabeth’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Even if Molly had money, she could not let these people set their sights on her friend’s belongings. The thought of it made her feel awkward and ashamed.

Molly clutched the bag tightly, not intending to give it to these people. It wasn’t that she cared about the money, but she didn’t want to help pay off Aaron’s debt.

As the situation became more tense, the manager of the hotpot restaurant stepped forward.

“Gentlemen, let me say a word…”

“Smack!” The bald man slapped the manager across the face, “Who do you think you are?”

The manager staggered from the blow.

Molly frowned and put her hand on her watch. As she was about to press it, Elizabeth picked up a chair and swung it at the bald man.

Just then, a hand reached out and stopped Elizabeth.

The man held a cigarette in his mouth, and while Elizabeth was still in shock, he took the chair and swung it at the bald man.

With a “bang,” the chair shattered.

The bald man crouched on the ground, covering his head.

The other men were stunned by the sudden turn of events.

“The one who hit you is called Jake Leaford, ” Jake Leaford grinned innocently. As soon as they heard the name “Jake Leaford,” the men who were about to fight back stopped in their tracks.

Jake Leaford, also known as the young Leaford of Sunnydale, was a well-known figure and belonged to one of the five prominent families in Sunnydale City.

If the Richardson family turned from black to white, the Leaford family never changed from black.

The people in the Leaford family held a high status in the entire Sunnydale City.

The dazed bald man also heard this and knew he had bitten off more than he could chew this time.

“Young Leaford, why are you meddling in our affairs?” The bald man was unconvinced.

“I didn’t want to, but you were bullying them,” he replied, flicking the cigarette with his finger and squinting. “Go to our company’s front desk and ask for some medical expenses. As for the rest, you can deal with whoever you need to.

Don’t forget to find the right debtor.”

His words meant they should go find Aaron and not bother Elizabeth again.

The men glanced at Elizabeth, their faces filled with fear.

They never expected that Aaron Howard’s ex-wife would know Jake Leaford. Having such connections was indeed terrifvinz.

They could step on Aaron, but they could still be stepped on by Jake Leaford.

They couldn’t afford to offend the Leaford family.

Under everyone’s eyes, the bald man and his entourage left.

Elizabeth also planned to sneak away with Molly, but was stopped by Jake

Leaford.

“You’re just going to leave like that?”

Elizabeth shuddered, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.

Molly stood aside, sensing the tension between the two and guessing a few things.

“Jake Leaford, thank you,” Molly glanced at Elizabeth. “Or should I leave first…” Elizabeth saw her thoughts and quickly grabbed her. “Don’t go, let’s leave together.”

“Miss Walker was frightened. You should let her go back and rest,” Jake Leaford’s gaze never left Elizabeth.

As Elizabeth looked awkwardly at him, Molly patted her hand. “I’ll wait for you outside.”

After Molly left, Jake Leaford also sat down.

“How did you end up like this?” Jake asked resentfully as soon as he opened his mouth, causing Elizabeth to flush with embarrassment.

“That man isn’t much better. You really outdid yourself by rejecting me for a man like that,” Jake said sarcastically.

“If you’re here just to laugh at me, you’ve already seen it,” Elizabeth choked, overwhelmed by shame and embarrassment.

She didn’t mind losing face or her failed marriage.

But being seen by Jake Leaford, she felt like a total failure.

There was nothing more embarrassing than this.

Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered in her marriage over the years, she bit her lip hard.

At the time, she didn’t want to marry Aaron either, but her mother fell ill and Aaron had said his family would offer a dowry.

Back then, she and Jake Leaford were in the flirting stage, but she quickly backed off after learning his identity.

The young master of the Leaford family was too high up for her to reach.

Rather than clinging to a wealthy family, it would be better to marry a man who would treat her well.

She never expected this outcome.

It was Aaron who couldn’t perform, but he ended up blaming her for not being able to have children. This matter spread, and even her relatives knew about it, gossiping about her behind her back.

In a fit of anger, she asked for a divorce. Aaron couldn’t wait, hooked up with someone else the day after the divorce, and left all the debts to her.

She didn’t mind letting others know about this messy life, except for Take Leaford.

She didn’t want to lose face in front of him.

But now, she had lost face completely.

Unable to bear the humiliation, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jake Leaford didn’t expect her to cry, and his face changed immediately. “Hey, don’t cry, darling.. I was wrong, okay?”
