    People can truly scare each other to death.

    Myra’s words instantly made my heart leap into my throat, and I asked, “What is it? Do not panic–exin clearly.”


    “Some people are at the amusement park looking for trouble with Josh. There are quite a few of them, and they


    are covered in tattoos–they look terrifying,” Myra replied, and her words eased my anxiety slightly.


    I had thought it was some other kind of ident, but now it seemed like someone was just looking to cause


    trouble for Josh.


    Although Myra was quite frightened, and those people indeed sounded intimidating, I was not worried because


    Josh could handle it.


    Although my inexplicable trust in him was strange, I felt that no one could hurt him.


    “Did they make a move?” I asked.


    “No, they have not found Josh yet, but they are asking around. They will be here soon,” Myra’s voice trembled as


    she asked, “Zoe, what should we do? Should we call the police?”


    I thought for a few seconds and answered, “Find Josh first and ask him about the situation. Let him decide


    whether to call the police or not.”


    I was not sure why those people were looking for Josh, so it was better to let him make the decision.


    “Alright,” Myra agreed, then asked me, “Zoe, are you stilling?”


    Without hesitation, I said, “Of course!”


    How could I not care when something happened to Josh?


    Besides, I suspected that this trouble had something to do with Alvin. After all, when he left earlier, he had warned me that my currentpany would pay a price. If that was the case, then Josh was likely caught in the crossfire as


    well.


    After hanging up the phone, I grabbed my bag and left. As I dialed Alvin, I passed by Bryson’s office just as he stepped out. Seeing me with my bag, he immediately asked, “Where are you going?”


    I was waiting for Alvin to answer the call, so I did not respond to him.


    “I am talking to you, Zoe. Where are you going?” Bryson asked again.


    Just as I was about to reply, Alvin answered the call and asked, “What, have you changed your mind now?”


    “Did you send people to the amusement park?” I asked directly.

    Alvin let out a low scoff. “What are you talking about? I do not understand. Who are these people?”


    His response caught me off guard. Aside from lying to me about Thea, he had always been someone who took responsibility for his actions. If he had sent people to threaten Josh to force me back to his side, he would not have denied it.


    That meant the people at the amusement park had nothing to do with him.


    ‘But then who else could be targeting Josh?‘ I wondered.


    “Alvin, you had better not lie to me, and you had better noty a hand on Josh,” I said before hanging up.


    Alvin immediately called back, but I did not answer.


    I drove straight to the amusement park. By the time I found Josh, he was already surrounded by a group of burly men. Just as Myra had described, they were obviously from the criminal underworld.


    Myra clutched my sleeve tightly and asked, “Zoe, Josh does not want to call the police, but I am really worried. Should we call them anyway?”


    I ignored her and took a few steps forward. I overheard one of the men saying to Josh, “If you want to stay alive, you had better behave yourself. You should know what you can and cannot do.”


    Josh’s tanned face showed no trace of fear as he questioned, “What is this? Someone is feeling guilty and sent you all to threaten me?”


    “Cut the nonsense. You should know your ce,” the leader of the group replied. He was a bald man, and under the midday sun, his head was so shiny that a fly could probably slip if it tried tond on it.
