Beloved Old Lover

Because the car from the south side of the city takes two hours to get here, everyone had to wait.

Jennifer glared at the man who was helping Emily disinfect and bandage the wound caused by the glass fragment.

Jennifer didn’t understand what it was about that girl that attracted men, so wherever she went, men took care of her, even when she had nothing left in her hands.

“Are you in a lot of pain?” Kurt asked after bandaging Emily’s wound.

“No.” She shook her head.

“Don’t cry, I’m here, I will get justice for you.” He pulled out a handkerchief, gave it to her, and gently comforted her.

He knew she wasn’t crying because of pain but because of self-pity. Who wouldn’t be sad when they fall into this situation?

If no one talks about it, she’s okay, but once someone intentionally brings up the past, how can she not be hurt?

The clock hands kept turning and less than two hours later, Brian’s limited edition car stopped in front of the police station.

He was working overtime at the company when he received a call from his spoiled sister, forcing him to drive here, leaving behind a lot of work.

At the same time, the other girls’ parents and siblings also appeared. The whole group of people entered the police station, their faces looked no different from those about to go to fight.

“Hello, I’m Brian, Jennifer’s brother, may I ask what happened?” Brian glanced at his sister then politely greeted and asked the police officer.

After listening to the police report on the incident at the Paradise pub, Brian immediately forced Jennifer to take out her wallet to pay for the damaged party.

Recently, he and his father had cut back on her spending but it seemed like she could still cause trouble with that money.

So, right now, he decided not to give her another penny if she refused to come to work at the company.

“Brother, please help me pay, those bottles of wine are very expensive. This month, I only have this much money left.” Jennifer held out her wallet, her face contorted.

“That’s your problem. If you don’t pay, I’ll go home and you won’t be released on bail. You just stay at the police station, clean the floors, clean the toilets and the policemen will give you food to eat.”

Jennifer looked to her friends for help but they all ignored her. After all, she was the one who threw the wine bottles, not them.

Furthermore, their situation is no better than hers, their family is cutting down and monitoring their spending, and now that their family is here, who would dare to take out money?

Rich people will spend money freely and without calculating but must consider in what case and for what purpose.

Furthermore, Brian did not defend his sister and was strictly disciplining her, so the other parents understood that helping Jennifer would not make her brother appreciate them, and would even be hated by him for defending bad people.

After Jennifer angrily put down the money, Brian signed the guarantee paper for her release.

To him, this is nothing more than an insult as he is a businessman who regularly appears in articles and often appears at universities to lecture and inspire students.

Parents give birth to children, God gives birth to character. He and his father were engrossed in making money and running the corporation without knowing when his sister had become spoiled. When she was in high school, she was still very obedient.

“Can I take my sister home yet?” Brian gave the bail paper back to the police and asked.

“Not yet, she must apologize for slandering and insulting my staff.” Kurt stood up and loudly demanded.

Brian turned his head to look at the person who spoke and quickly realized that the girl sitting on the chair near the edge of the door was Emily.

Although she tried to turn her head out, avoiding his eyes, how could he be mistaken?

Very quickly, he passed Kurt and stood right next to her.

“Emily.”

Emily knew she couldn’t hide, so she stood up and tried to smile instead of saying hello.

She knew Brian would feel awkward being stuck between her and his sister, but she knew what to do when she had escaped here but Jennifer still did not let her go, deliberately causing trouble.

“Jennifer, come here.”

Brian’s loud call made Jennifer startled and hastily moved forward.

Her friends also widened their eyes, focusing on the girl wearing the waitress’s uniform.

“Apologize quickly to Emily, otherwise don’t even think about going home.”

Jennifer’s nails dug deep into her palms, her whole body trembling because she was so angry. After all, Brian is her biological brother, why doesn’t her brother defend his sister but defend a stranger?

She had already paid the money and the police did not ask her to apologize. Is her brother trying to make her lose face with her friends? After all, who is his sister?

“I’m sorry.” Jennifer bowed her head, trying to say each word.

Although there were many things Brian wanted to say to Emily, he knew this was not the place to chat or confide, so after saying goodbye, he pulled Jennifer to the car, stuffed her in, and drove to the city’s south side.

Jennifer’s group of friends planned to drink alcohol and then go to the nightclub to dance until morning, so they took a taxi there, no one was driving.

“Let’s go” Kurt held Emily’s hand and pulled her to the car.

Seeing that her face was not good, he asked her and she said she was worried about being discovered by Kevin.

She originally didn’t expect the incident to be so serious that she had to go to the police station and today, many people recognized her.

“Emily, Kevin is looking for you but it’s a secret, he doesn’t dare to make it public. Furthermore, you’re not a wanted criminal. Even if he sees you, he can’t carry you home if you don’t want to. We are citizens, protected by the law, girl. The recent incident is an example, having money does not always mean having power.”

Kurt explained for a while, making Emily gradually calm down and feel more secure. That’s right. There is still the law. Kevin is a successful and famous businessman, how dare he arrest her? She is worrying too much.

He still has to shoulder the responsibility of the Unicons group and above him he has a father and mother, how can he do anything that violates the law?

If he found her, at most he would curse her for daring to deceive him.

“I got it. Because I’m so weak-minded.” She smiled, her facial muscles relaxed.

To be honest, Kurt didn’t know if Kevin had used any other methods to force Emily to return to his side.

Some things cannot be predicted. At present, she had no weaknesses and Kurt knew that if he and she did not have a romantic relationship, Kevin would not touch his brother’s business.

Returning to the pub, both of them continued their work. The female employees, who originally admired the manager, now idolized Kurt even more when they saw him defending his employees without being afraid to correct the unruly customers.

Of course, the customers sitting near table number twenty-nine also said that Jennifer acted wrongly and supported Kurt’s very civilized way of handling things.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He doesn’t talk much. If he says one or two words and fails to reach a negotiated outcome, he will be handed over to the police to handle the matter.

At exactly two o’clock in the morning, the pub returned to a quiet state. The kitchen worker put a grilled dried squid in Emily’s hand and said a few words of comfort to her.

The story of her being bullied by customers quickly spread and everyone working in the pub knew.

“Don’t be sad, be strong. I looked at your physiognomy and knew that one day you would also be a noble lady, loved by your husband, and not have to be an employee here forever.”

After saying that, she sighed and said that life must have ups and downs. However, Emily’s middle and later fortunes are very good, rising very high, this is just a small challenge, unlike her, no matter how hard she tries, life is still at the level of having enough to eat and enough to wear.

Emily didn’t believe in physiognomy but still listened, smiled, and nodded.

Isn’t she in the middle of life? After just one moment, she lost everything.

Now she wants a peaceful life, enough to eat, enough to wear, can do what she wants, and not be aggressive with anyone.

After paying the cashier for dried squid, Emily left the pub and got into the car that was waiting for her.

Even though she tied the squid tightly in a plastic bag and hid it in her bag, its smell still wafted throughout the car, extremely fragrant.

“Sorry, I tied it in a bag but it still smells bad.” She said shyly.

“It’s okay, do you want to go to the riverbank, admire the scenery, and chew squid?”

Emily had never experienced the feeling of wandering along the riverbank at two in the morning, so she immediately agreed.

She wouldn’t dare go alone, but with Kurt by her side, how could she miss this rare experience?

When they arrived, both of them sat down on the grass, tore into the squid together, and ate and drank spring water.

“I have to go abroad this weekend. There are some problems with imported wine sources that need to be renegotiated.”

“Ah. Wishing you all the best.”

The night was quiet, with only the occasional sound of plane engines overhead.

After a few stories with no beginning or end, Kurt revealed that he was an orphan adopted by Rollo’s parents.

And when they died, he lived with Rollo and his wife, helping them manage the taverns. He directly managed the Paradise Tavern and also indirectly managed other taverns.

Unlike Emily who only wants to have a life with enough food and clothing, Kurt is like many other men with big ambitions.

He wants to become a successful businessman, creating jobs for many people, but he doesn’t want to run a pub or dance hall like his adopted brother.

“My hometown is in the mountains, where a lot of rattan and bamboo are grown. I always want to create products from them and bring them to foreign markets, not limited to domestic ones.”

“There are also many domestic companies in this field and have great success. We are a latecomer so it is difficult to compete with them. But if you want, I believe you can do it.”

Men who start a business need money and relationships, but most of all they need a woman behind to encourage them.

If possible, Kurt wants Emily to be his woman, but he knows he is not brave enough to conquer her.

The men who passed by her life were all genuine billionaires, with real prices like Kevin and Daniel, and Brian’s eyes when he looked at her were also filled with immense love.

Furthermore, he did not want his love affairs to affect his brother and sister-in-law. They have poured countless sweat and tears to get the property they have today.

If he was friends with her, Kevin wouldn’t notice, but if he were her boyfriend, life wouldn’t go smoothly.

“I plan to start implementing my dream in a few months. Until then, let’s cooperate. After all, you are qualified and fluent in foreign languages.”

“Okay, then we will become rich men and women.”

Her laughter broke the quiet night. If no one knew that she had just gone through a major event in her life, they would think that she was a carefree girl.
