Chapter 27: Calvin Lee’s Arrest

What Calvin had said seemed to light an old wick that had been hanging in Emma’s heart.

“Right! You understand, don’t you? Come to think of it, with that handsome face of yours, our situation shouldn’t be much different...” Emma snapped out of her own words. She bluntly admitted that Calvin was handsome.

Calvin immediately laughed at Emma who was so embarrassed. That guy really had a sensitive feeling, “When we were born into this world, we couldn’t choose what kind of face we will have. After all, in the end, it all depends on our hearts and nature. Judging people by their looks is very easy. But knowing someone’s heart is the difficult one.”

“People will pay more attention and better attitude to attractive-looking people. But by knowing their true reasons, we would feel tired of it. To the point that we don’t know which one really wants to be our friend.” The guy continued as he looked up at the dark, starless sky. “Looks like it’s going to snow...” he muttered.

Emma thought to herself. Calvin’s words were true. That’s how Emma always felt. Because she was the daughter of the mafia leader and also had a beautiful face, then everyone must always be nice to her. Emma also became confused, which one had sincere intentions or only ended up using her. It was really tiring.

“...the snow. Am I right?”

“Huh? Sorry, what?” Emma woke up from her daydream.

.....

Calvin blinked before chuckling, realizing that he had been talking to himself all along because Emma was too busy daydreaming and not listening, “We’re here, Emma. This is your car, isn’t it?” He patted the body of the car that was already beside them.

“Oh.. Sorry, it seems I was daydreaming earlier.” Emma laughed uncomfortably.

“It’s ok. You can go home now. Be careful on the road and keep yourself warm.” Said Calvin in a friendly voice.

Emma smiled faintly, “Thank you. I also want to apologize for being a little cold to you all this time.”

Calvin shook his head, “I understand, Emma. But just so you know, I sincerely want to be friends with you. I know you are different from most people I know. So, if you can.. I wish you would allow me to be around you.” He was being honest.

“Sure.” Emma laughed, “Goodbye...”

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a motorcycle engine rushing towards them. In an instant, the two of them were surrounded by a group of motorcycle gangs.

“Shit!” Calvin cursed as he took one step forward to cover Emma behind his back.



One of the guys in black leather jackets got off his motorcycle while taking off his black full-face helmet, “Calvin Lee.”

Emma didn’t understand what was happening, but she knew it wasn’t good.

“You have to get out of here immediately,” Calvin whispered behind his back.

“O.. Okay. But my car can’t pass..” Emma said as she continued to take cover behind Calvin’s tall body.

“Just get in your car first. Listen to me, Emma. If you see an opening, you should go straight through and ride your car as fast as you can. Got it?”

“I see. But what about you?” Emma asked worriedly.

“Don’t mind me. They are my problem and you shouldn’t get involved.” He answered.

“Hey! We’re here, why are you guys even busy chatting there?” The motorcyclist said with a condescending smile.

“What’s your problem?” Calvin asked dryly. Slowly, he shifted his body as Emma took a small step towards the car door and unlocked it.

“Wow.. It turns out that Calvin Lee already has a girlfriend. People like you can have a girlfriend too, right? Why not share her with us?” The guy laughed while trying to peek at the girl behind Calvin’s back.

“She is not my girlfriend and has nothing to do with you all. Don’t bring women into the mess you’re making.” He hissed.

Emma managed to open the car door and immediately got in and started the car engine.

“Get rid of your motorcycle!” Calvin ordered.

“Why should we do it?” Teased the guy.

“Women are not involved in gangster work. Your problem is with me, right? No matter who this girl is, you shouldn’t concerned about it.” Calvin replied.

But the guy laughed, “The more you protect her, the more I’m curious about that girl. How beautiful is she to affect the Calvin Lee?”

“You can take me if you step aside. I won’t fight back.”

Hearing Calvin’s words, the motorcyclists looked at each other. They nodded with small smiles.

“Okay. You have to keep your word as a man.” Said the man with shoulder-length hair.

Emma who was in the car couldn’t hear what the guys outside were talking about. She just waited inside as her heart pounding hard with worry. But the pounding didn’t last long, because it seemed that Calvin had managed to negotiate with the motorcycle gang.

The guys in black leather jackets began to pull their motorcycle out of the way in front of Emma’s car. As Calvin said, the girl immediately stepped on the gas pedal as soon as the way was clear.

“Huh...” Emma sighed with relief while driving her car away.

Then she looked in the rearview mirror to see how Calvin was doing with the gangsters. Emma’s brows furrowed as soon as she saw the gangsters had surrounded Calvin until the guy was out of sight.

Still driving the car, Emma felt uneasy. What did Calvin actually say to the gangsters that they let the car pass?

“Could it be.. Calvin did something stupid to help me?...” Emma muttered frantically.

All the way home, Emma kept feeling uneasy, thinking about Calvin’s fate. Once at the red light on, she flew deeper into her worries. As soon as the light turned green, Emma immediately turned her steering wheel to the right, while she should have stayed straight if she wanted to go home.

Emma stopped her car in front of a repair shop. Incidentally Troy was lowering the rolling door to close his shop. The guy immediately stopped as soon as he realized that the car belonged to Emma Hillland.

“Troy..” Emma got out of her car in a hurry.

Troy looked at her confused, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” he could see Emma’s panicked face. The girl nodded.

Emma was already in Troy’s closed workshop, sitting at the table they had been sitting at when Calvin had been beaten up by the gangsters. Emma had already told the chronology to Troy of what happened with Calvin.

“I don’t know what Calvin had said to them. But after that, they swarmed him. I’m afraid something bad happens to him.” Emma said.

Troy sighed as he folded his big muscular arms across his chest, “He definitely has something bad happen. Did you see the logo on their jackets?”

Emma shook her head, “Their jackets are plain. No logos whatsoever.”





“No logos? It’s even worse.”

“How could?” Emma asked seriously.

“That’s a sign that it is not clear what group they belong to. Maybe they’re from a bigger group, or have been specially sent to arrest Calvin.” Troy replied.
