Chapter 319
“Mom!
“Mommy, who is it?” Joseph asked in surprise.
“An unimportant person,” Kylie said calmly.
“But he said he only knew you at Beliey.”
“Impossible.” Kylie did not believe him at
all
If she was the only one he knew, how could he stay in Beliey for week?
“I don’t think he’s lying.” Joseph said seriously.
Kylie frowned slightly. Usually, Joseph was not such a busybody,
After living with Joseph for three years, she realized that Joseph’s personality was completely different from what she had seen before. In front of her, Joseph was lively, cute, eloquent, and sweet. However, Joseph was very cold to outsiders.
There were a few times when she sent Joseph to school and saw that many girls liked him, but they did not dare to approach him.
Later, she asked Joseph’s teacher and learned that Joseph had a nickname in school, The Cold Prince.
He ignored everyone.
At that time. Kylie thought that Joseph had a mental illness like her because of Ethan’s death. Then, she made a long conversation and Joseph clarified that he was born with such a personality. Back then, to help Ethan woo her, he was so different in front of her. However, he did not feel uncomfortable about it. He said that he felt a sense of kinship with her that made him want to open his mind.
But now, Joseph was interested in a stranger other than her.
“Do you think Mommy should help him?” Kylie asked Joseph.
She did not want Joseph to think that she was a heartless and colll person.
“I don’t know either. I just suddenly feel sorry for him,” Joseph shook his head and answered honestly,
Kylie hesitated for a moment before saying. “For the sake of you. I’ll go to help him.”
“Will it bring trouble to Mommy?”
“No, it’s nothing. But we’re going home later. Do you mind?”
“I don’t mind.”
Kylie nodded slightly and called that unknown number.
The other end didn’t say anything after the call was connected.
He was probably angry.
Kylie felt that Lucas had to learn what it meant to be polite.
Why was he still throwing a tantrum?
“Which police station?”
“At Elmwood Route.
She hung up the phone and drove to the police station.
The journey was a little far.
She was already driving slowly with Joseph in the car. When she arrived, it was already an hour later.
Lucas was sitting at the station when she got there. His face was bruised, but nothing ser
Even though he looked a little down and out, there added a special charm to his handsome face
This man was indeed pretty just by looking at his appearance.
Of course, Kylie’s favorable impression of him wouldn’t last more than two seconds.
Once she met Lucas’ gaze, the inveterate arrogance in his eyes would make her feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, when she went, Lucas didn’t show a friendly attitude towards his savior.
He looked like a superior boss.
Kylie did not want to waste time. Joseph was still waiting for her in the car.
She quickly walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
I got into a fight in a bar.”
“You’re his girlfriend, right?” A man sitting next to him suddenly said excitedly.
Only then did Kylie notice that there was another person beside him.
That man’s entire face was swollen like a pig’s head. He looked a little funny.
Kylie held back her laughter for a long time before she looked back at Lucas.
Comparing the two of them, the minor injury on Lucas’ face was nothing.
“I’m not, Kylie denied.
“Whether you are or not, I won’t settle it if he doesn’t apologize to me today. I’m going to sue him!”
“It’s self-defense.” Lucas said eloquently, emphasizing each word
“Self-defense? You call beating me up so hard self-defense?” The man became even more agitated.
The police officer scolded him. “Sit down! Watch your mouth.”
The man calmed down a little and said indignantly. “I’m badly injured. And you’re almost intact. Are you calling it self- defense?
*Killing someone can also be considered self-defense.” Lucas’ eyes were cold.
“You! Officer, look, he even wants to beat me to death! How can we get reconciled? The man looked angry.
“That’s enough.” The officer was also impatient. He shouted at the man and turned to Kylie. “Your friend got drunk and hit
this man at the bar tonight. Now, he refuses to apologize and is unwilling to compensate. If this stalemate continues, we can only resort to the court and detain your friend for the time being
“Okay, I’ll talk to him.”
The cop nodded.
Kylie turned to Lucas.
Lucas looked at Kylie and seemed to know what she was going to do. He directly said, “Don’t even think about it.”
“Come here first. I want to talk to you alone.
Kylie walked to the comer.
Lucas hesitated, then followed.
“Why didn’t you apologize?”
“Because it wasn’t my fault, Lucas said, his expression grim.
Kylie frowned.
Lucas took a deep breath and explained awkwardly, “I’m going to the bar to have a drink tonight. This man came over.
“Come over for what?”
“To flirt!” Lucas gritted his teeth.
Kylie burst out laughing. And she was laughing very loudly from ear to ear.
This was the biggest joke she had heard this year. She almost laughed with tears coming out.
“Shut the fuck up,” Lucas said furiously.
Kylie really couldn’t control herself.
She seemed to have that funny image in her mind.
“Kylie!” Lucas raised his voice.
The police station was already quiet at night, so everyone looked over.
Kylie held back her smile and made herself look serious. “So you hit him?”
“Or? Welcome his touch?” Lucas retorted.
“Do you have any proof that he flirted with you first?” Kylie asked calmly,
Lucas said nothing. Apparently, he didn’t.
“The law is about evidence. The thing is that the police will think that you hit that person. After all, his fate is swollen, and you’re safe now. Generally speaking, the law will choose to protect the weak.”
“You want me to apologize? No way!” Lucas directly gave his bottom line.
If you don’t make an apology, the money will settle it.”
“Why should I give him money? I’m not a whore!”
“So you’re just going to waste your time with him? Have you thought about it? The amount of time you waste is no less than the amount of money you lose. If I were you, I would choose to make peace with him. After all, you didn’t suffer anything real when he flirted with you. And you hit him back.” Kylie made it clear. “What you suffer is the money you’re going to give him now, but the money you’re giving him now is to buy your precious time. In summary, you didn’t suffer any losses at all.”
