Could Make a Woman Cry and Leave a Man Speechless
At this moment, several more security guards who each held an electric baton approached. They
shouted, “Don’t you hear us telling you to let her go?! If you don’t release her, don’t blame us for not
holding back!”
Theodore’s eyebrows were pulled together into a tight frown when he saw the guards coming toward
him. Taking advantage of the moment he was distracted, Daphne swiftly broke free from his grasp and
ran to the side.
He attempted to reach her again, but the guards stopped him. “It’s you! You are the one who has been
lurking around here suspiciously for days. We can tell you’re up to no good just by looking at you. Go
now. Get lost!”
Theodore’s face fell further when he heard that. “Do you have any idea who you are talking to?” he
growled.
“I don’t care who you are. Don’t think you have the right to do whatever you want just because you
have money. I despise people like you who look civilized and all even though you are a hypocritical
beast inside.”
“You—”
“Don’t ‘you’ me! Get lost now, or I’ll call the cops!”
Outnumbered and unwilling to involve the police because of his identity, Theodore adjusted his collar
and snorted coldly before threatening Daphne, “This isn’t over. Just you wait!”
One of the guards picked up an electric baton and warned, “Try threatening her again.”
Theodore only glanced at them, and he quickly got into his car and drove away.
After he left, the guards spat on the ground and turned to Daphne. “Are you alright?”
Daphne nodded. “I’m fine. Thank you.”
“No need to thank us.” One of the older security guards put away his baton and informed her, “Your
boyfriend has already talked to us in advance. We even feel a little embarrassed by how he
occasionally brings us food and drinks.”
“Right! With us here, you can rest assured. He won’t set foot inside the community gates.”
Daphne was still trying to process what the older guard had just said. “My boyfriend?” she asked in
confusion.
Another guard nodded and replied, “Yeah! Your boyfriend was here about a month ago. He gave that
b*stard a beating and chased him away.”
“That’s right! He asked us to keep an eye on you so that guy wouldn’t harass you anymore. He often
buys us cigarettes, alcohol, and delicious food too. Didn’t he tell you?”
Daphne only replied after a slight pause. “He… didn’t.”
The older guard couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up as he praised, “Your boyfriend is truly something.
It’s hard to find such a good boyfriend nowadays. Cherish him, young lady. If I were you, I’d quit that
job and get another one.”
“Exactly! Just the sight of bosses like yours is enough to make me lose my appetite. They only know
how to bully young girls like you who have just entered the real world. Karma will get them sooner or
later.”
Daphne smiled upon hearing that.
After giving her thanks, she no longer had the mood to go shopping. Instead, she turned around to walk
back to the building.
The guards also returned to their posts. However, they decided to give Louis a call after a short
discussion.
Although they had already driven away that human scum, they were sure that Daphne must have been
quite frightened. Hence, they figured it would be good for her to have her boyfriend come and
accompany her.
After returning home, Daphne took off her mask and walked to the refrigerator. She then grabbed a
bottle of cold water and took several sips, allowing the frustration that had been swirling in her chest to
subside.
She was setting down the water bottle when she noticed a pile of clothes on the couch. And so, she
walked into the walk-in closet and began another round of decluttering.
Amid tidying up, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. When she walked out and saw Louis through the
monitor, she didn’t hesitate to open the door.
The man stared at her intently. He only spoke in a voice slightly colder than usual when he had made
sure she wasn’t injured. “He came looking for you again?”
She nodded at that. “But he left. I’m fine.”
Louis pursed his lips and was about to turn around and leave when Daphne grabbed his arm.
“You came at the right time,” she began. “I’m sorting out my clothes, but the suitcase is too heavy for
me to lift. Can you help me?”
He kept standing there quietly.
Daphne continued, “You didn’t go out of your way coming here just to say those few words, right?
Regardless, I have to treat you to a meal. Chop-chop! We can eat after we are done tidying the things
up.”
Seeing that he still hadn’t moved, Daphne pulled him inside, saying as they walked into the walk-in
closet, “People of your age should do something useful with their strength instead of wasting it on
meaningless things.”
There were already a few large boxes inside the walk-in closet.
“Now help me move those few boxes into the living room. There’s not enough space here.”
Louis looked at the room full of clothes and he couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
Daphne continued to maneuver through the obstacles before she resumed tidying up. “I actually have
fewer clothes compared to others. After all, I’m a celebrity. You haven’t seen your sister’s walk-in
closet. It could make a woman cry and leave a man speechless.”
Louis was quiet for a few beats before he muttered, “The place she rented doesn’t have a walk-in
closet. There is only one wardrobe.”
Daphne flashed a smile at him. “That is because President Pearson bought the unit beside hers and
made that place her walk-in closet.
After a two-second silence, he no longer said anything as he started to move the boxes out.
Daphne took out a few more items and placed them in an empty box nearby, dusting her palms off
when she caught her breath.
It was stress relieving to see the once-packed walk-in closet suddenly appear half-empty.
Louis looked at the last box. “Are there any more?”
“Nope! What do you feel like eating? I’ll order takeout.”
“Anything is fine.”
“Gotcha.” Daphne took out her phone and stated, “I’ll just order whatever, then.”
Since she didn’t know what Louis liked to eat, she decided to order a variety of food.
When she was done, she opened the fridge and handed a bottle of water to him. “Tired?”
Louis shook his head and replied calmly, “No.”
Daphne sat on the couch and stretched. She was quite tired herself. After all, her physical strength
couldn’t keep up now that she was getting older.
Louis glanced at the several large boxes near the entrance. “What will you do with those?”
“My staff will take care of them when they come tomorrow.”
Louis didn’t say anything else and he looked away upon hearing that.
In that instant, the entire living room fell into a strange and awkward silence.
The atmosphere was somewhat peculiar.
Noticing this, Daphne cleared her throat and found a topic. “Zoe is doing well. She should be
discharged from the hospital in a few days.”
Louis merely nodded. “I know.”
After a few seconds, Daphne added, “You are starting school soon, right?”
“In another half month.”
“Do you have any other work arrangements for the next half month?”
“I have some work to do. It will continue until school starts.”
Daphne pondered for a moment before asking, “Can I ask you a question?”
Louis softly responded with a hum.
“Why didn’t you go inside Zoe’s ward today? I know all the reasons before were excuses. If you really
felt it wasn’t appropriate, you wouldn’t have stayed in that area.”
Louis’ expression remained calm when he asked in return, “Would you get mad if I don’t want to
answer that question?”
Daphne froze for a moment. “Not really, no…”
“Ask another question, then.”
Daphne’s hand on the couch clenched involuntarily. “Will you answer it regardless of what my next
question is?”
