Chapter 21 So Handsome
Her name was Vivian, and she was Emily’s best friend. They had known each other since high school, and now they had been friends for almost ten years. Over the years, Vivian had helped her a lot, and she was the godmother of her two children. When Lucy heard Vivian’s name, she was instantly relieved and no longer asked about Vivian had the key to their house, and this was not the first time they had asked her to help look after the children. Emily stayed in the hospital overnight. During this time, the old lady fell asleep peacefully, and her condition was stable. On the contrary, Emily was worried that something might happen to her grandmother, so she did not sleep much that night and watched over Lucy. Early the next morning, the doctors came for their rounds and looked Lucy over. After completing all the checks, they confirmed Lucy’s health was all good. She could be discharged. Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief. Emily packed up her things, completed the discharge procedures, and happily took her grandmother home. When they reached the gate of the community, Emily saw a group of old people and neighbors standing around gossiping about something. She heard the words ‘luxury car’, ‘suspicious people’, ‘debt collectors’. But she didn’t think it had anything to do with her so she paid them no mind. She helped her grandmother to the apartment building where she lived and carefully went upstairs. When they reached the second floor, someone ran over in a panic and blocked their way. She looked and saw it was a woman of about forty or fifty, wearing a plain shirt with a flower print and green pants. Her hair was up in a bun and she looked like a normal housewife. It was their neighbor Aunt Zhang, who had always been nice to them.
Aunt Zhang looked very anxious. “Emily, something bad has happened at your home. Ten minutes ago, a large group of people wearing black broke into your apartment. It is obvious that they are debt collectors! Are you in trouble? Your two babies and Vivian are trapped inside. Those people are not easy to deal with. You have to be
careful.” Emily was shocked. What happened? Lucy had not figured out the situation and looked at her. “Emily, what’s going on?” “I don’t know either.” Emily didn’t have time to overthink it. She hurriedly entrusted her grandmother to Aunt Zhang then she ran upstairs. She had to hurry home and see what was going on. Aunt Zhang’s loud voice came from behind her. “Emily, you’d better call the police! They’re all men and there are so many of them! It’s so dangerous for you to go up like this!” Auntie Zhang wanted to hold Emily back, but Emily had already disappeared up the stairs. Emily had no time to waste. She felt like there was a flame lit inside of her when she thought about how her babies might be in danger. And Vivian, who had come to help, what if she was also in trouble because of Emily? She quickened her pace and rushed to the fourth floor. Ethan and Sofia were huddled together with Vivian in the corner of the living room. The three of them looked at the people in front of them with fear on their faces. There were 4 tall and imposing men standing there. All dressed in black, with fearsome and ruthless features. The man standing beside the 4 wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a gentle temperament. There was also a man sitting on the sofa. He had a slender figure and was nearly 190cm tall. He wore a black suit and black trousers. He was handsome to the point of being devilish. He wore a black gold watch that looked very tasteful. He looked noble. His facial features were very delicate. They had never seen such a good-looking man. His entire body exuded a cold and detached aura that made people shudder. Among everyone present, he was the most imposing and intimidating. Ethan’s small face was full of calmness that did not match his age. He stared at this group of people. From the moment they came in, he had determined from their clothes that this group of people were here to collect debts from their mommy. Vivian looked at the person sitting on the sofa and felt a burst of excitement in her heart. Even in this kind of situation, she couldn’t help but stare at the gorgeous man on the Were all debt collectors these days so handsome? That was simply unfair. However, no matter how
handsome he was, he was not on their side right now. She protected the two cute little babies tightly. Although this group of people had come for Emily, there was no guarantee that they would not act recklessly. Vivian was concerned for the safety of herself and the two children. She swallowed and broke the silence, trying to establish a channel of communication. “Misters, even though my friend owes you money, hasn’t she already promised to pay you back in installments? Is it really necessary for you to show up at her home like this?” Vivian continued, “Although I can’t fight you, we live in a civilized society now. If you’re going to try something, I’ll… I’ll call the police!” She hoped that it wouldn’t come to that.
