?Chapter 537:


    Dn didn’t give the girl so much as a nce. Instead, he went straight over to Christina. “I didn’t get injured for saving her. I stepped in because Ralphy was ambushed. I got hurt saving him.”


    “You don’t owe me any exnations, Mr. Scott,” Christina replied, her voice steady andposed.


    “You…” Dn paused, watching her closely. “Are you mad at me?”


    “Of course not. What would I even be upset about?” Christina replied coolly. Dn had nothing to say. She was right. There really wasn’t any reason for her to be angry. After all, her heart belonged to Brendon. If she ever got jealous, it would be because of Brendon and not him.


    With these thoughts, a sharp ache gripped Dn’s chest.


    “I… I was forced to step in,” Ralphy said, walking up to Davina. “I wasn’t trying to act like some hero.”


    “Oh,e on, Mr. Graham. Just admit you were ying the hero. What’s the big deal?” Davina shot him a frosty re. “A yboy like you must love such a narrative.”


    Ralphy shook his head fast. “Absolutely not. I just did what I thought was right, that’s all.” If he had known the girl he helped was nothing but trouble, he would’ve stayed out of it.


    “Look who’s heading this way. Your little damsel,” Davina said with a smirk, tilting her chin toward the girl.


    Ralphy scratched his head,pletely stuck on how to exin the situation to Davina.


    Just as his mind was spiraling, the girl’s sweet but sly voice cut through from behind. “Mr. Graham, I’m so sorry for the mess I caused. It’s my fault that these two women got the wrong idea about you.” After pausing briefly, she added in a shaky voice, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at Davina and Christina, “Please don’t be upset, Miss. These two gentlemen were only trying to help. That’s all there was to it…”


    “Enough. Just leave,” Ralphy snapped, shooting her an irritated re.


    “Mr. Graham, thank you for saving me. I have no way to repay you, but if you’d allow it, I’d like to work for you,” the girl said, her expression full of desperate hope.


    Endless adventures await on gα?ησν????s


    “I don’t need it. Just leave already,” Ralphy said, clearly running out of patience.


    “Mr. Graham, I’ll do anything you need, just tell me and I—”


    Before she could finish, Ralphy shouted, “I said leave! Didn’t you hear me?” He’d had it. There was no kindness left in him for her.


    Ralphy had dealt with plenty of women before, and he was sick of the maniptive type. They got on his nerves, especially the ones who pretended to be so fragile, like they’d fall apart if you so much as spoke too loud. His mind went back to Davina, effortlessly handling those thugs the other day. That was quite something. He preferred sassy and fiery women who could stand on their own.


    The girl looked even more distressed now, her tears slipping down like little pearls. Eyes watery, she offered a deep bow to Dn. “Sir, please help me… My family’s trying to set me up for financial gain. I ran out and don’t have anywhere else to go. I’m begging you, please… Help me,” she pleaded, her voice trembling.


    Dn’s brows drew together, a sh of disgust passing through his eyes as he absorbed the girl’s words. He looked up at Ralphy and said, “Involve the police.”


    “Right away!” Ralphy answered, already reaching for his phone. He turned to the sobbing girl, a sly grin on his lips. “Don’t worry. I’ll call the police for you.”
