“Who the hell is calling?! So annoying!” Renee snapped as she stumbled around. She was rather frustrated by the
constant ringing of her phone, and just threw it away as a solution.
“Hey, why did you throw your phone away?” Rosie groaned, trying to keep Renee steady as she picked up her
phone from the ground.
The person on the other end of the line was quite stubborn as well. They kept calling, especially since Renee was
not picking up.
Helpless, Rosie had to answer the call instead. “Hello? Who is this?”
“You’re not Everheart.”

“She’s drunk?” The voice sounded extremely icy. “Where are you?”
“I’m at this pub in Water Dock. Who are y-“
“Take care of her, I’ll be there in a minute!” The man ordered harshly as he ignored Rosie’s words, hanging up right
after.
“Ah…” Rosie was utterly stunned, still holding onto the weak Renee. She didn’t know if she should leave or wait for
the man. He had sounded quite intimidating, so she didn’t dare leave, even if she wanted to.
“Miss Everheart, wake up! Do you recognize this number? He’s coming over soon.” Rosie hesitated for a while, and
decided that it was best to ask for Renee’s opinion on this matter.
“This number…” Renee stared at the screen groggily. “I don’t know who that is, he must be a bad guy! We can’t let
him come over!”
“A bad guy? Let’s leave right away then, we can’t let him find us.” Rosie was alarmed, and quickly dragged Renee
towards the exit. As they were making their way out, she nearly bumped into a tipsy, muscular man.
Seeing how gorgeous Renee was, desire immediately flashed in the man’s eyes. He smirked at her and said
smoothly, “Hey there, beautiful! What a coincidence, huh? We’re both drunk! You’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen,
you know? Since fate clearly brought us together, would you like to have a glass of wine with me?”
“Please, have some respect, sir! She’s not that kind of person!” Rosie warned as she blocked the man with one
arm, her expression cold. She had worked many different jobs to pay for her son’s medical bills previously, and had
been in many pubs and clubs like this.
With her experience, she knew exactly what kind of intentions these types of men had.

“Ed, you’re into chicks like this right? Take her then, and make sure she doesn’t get in my way!”
“How dare you hurt my friend?” Renee sobered up slightly when she heard the perverted man’s words. Despite
being dizzy, she was still able to send the two-hundred-pound man flying with one kick.
“Oh my god! It’s a fight!” The entire pub instantly erupted into chaos, with excited screams coming from the crowd.
After all, this was the infamous Water Dock, a place notorious for lawlessness. Additionally, the bar they were in had
a lot of shady characters around. A fight was considered entertainment to them, so the crowd was very much
looking forward to it.
