Chapter: 179
“I doubt you’re here simply to visit. You must have a favor to ask of me, am I right?” the woman smirked.
“Nothing ever gets past you, does it?” he conceded with a slight smile. He began, “I have a friend who’s being held at the police station, and I need your help bailing her out. I’m sure you know that Swinton is not my home ground.”
“A friend? What’s the name?” she asked.
“Dahlia Nicholson.”
“Oh? A woman? Is there something going on between you and her?” The beauty raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
“Hehe… she’s just a friend. She helped me out awhile back, so I’m merely returning the favor.” Matt maintained a nonchalant expression.
“Is that so?” Dubious, the woman pressed on.
“Matt, don’t claim I’ve never reminded you that you are mine and mine only. You best believe you’ll regret being promiscuous out there. If a vixen dares to try to seduce you, I will make her life a living hell!”
“What are you even talking about, baby girl? You are the one I love most in life. How could I possibly have eyes for other women?” Matt quickly pulled her into a tight embrace.
“Since you say you love me so much, you shall attend my birthday party in two days and meet my father as “my boyfriend,” the lady said with a smile stretching from ear to ear.
“Are you introducing me to your family already?”
“Why? Are you afraid?”
“Your father is the one and only Sir Hummer. I bet you won’t be able to name me someone who isn’t afraid of the prospect of meeting him! However, it goes without saying that I would cross the highest mountains and the deepest seas for you!”
“Aw, aren’t you the sweetest! Alright then, it’s a deal!”
At the same time, at Java Joys.
Natasha was seated on the couch, reading silently, when Ruth barged in.
“Sis! Bad news! Dustin’s been arrested!” she blurted as soon as her lips parted.
“Arrested?” Natasha was taken aback.
“What happened?”
“I just received news that Dustin was arrested and escorted to the police station for the theft of valuable items!” Ruth managed between pants.
“Theft? Is that it?” Natasha’s confusion grew.
“The theft is nothing but a coverup. In reality, Dustin is being framed. However, things don’t look good given that he’s fallen into the hands of that fat man Gardner,” Ruth continued.
A string of protests rang from Natasha’s mouth immediately.
“That fat bastard! Such audacity–how dare he touch my man? Gather your men at once and follow me to the police station to get our people back!”
Meanwhile, in Hunter Anderson’s mansion.
