Chapter 1350 You’re Unlucky to Encounter Me
“Can I compete with you?” Sam pinched Emmeline’s cheeks. “You’re so fresh; I bet I could squeezewater out of you. I remember all the boys in our class used to fight about who gets to shove their loveletters into your locker, but I never got a single one. I was so jealous.”
The two of them burst into laughter.
“I heard you went to college later on. Are you a teacher now?” Sam said with admiration.
“Yes, I’m teaching English in an elementary school, Emmeline replied.
“You’re much better off than many of us! A lot of our classmates started working in the steel mill rightafter graduation, doing heavy labor!” Sam said.
“What about you?”
“I’m pretty much the same! It’s just that my workplace is a bit better.”
As they were talking, the bus arrived, and Sam pulled Emmeline onto it.
“Where are we going?” Emmeline asked.
We’re heading into the city. Lunch is on me.”novelbin
During lunchtime, the two of them were laden with bags of various sizes. With growling stomachs, theychose a seafood restaurant to satisfy their hunger.
The restaurant was bustling with people..
Emmeline spotted a tall and imposing figure in the crowd, the same person she had seen at thehospital. Benjamin of the Inspection Division.
Benjamin turned his head and noticed Emmeline. After a slight pause, he nodded and smiled at her.
Sam had a hearty appetite, swiftly devouring her meal until her plate was half empty. In contrast,Emmeline was much slower with her eating.
Sam remarked, “If it takes so much effort for you to eat, I bet your boyfriend-if you ever find one-will betortured to death.”
Suddenly, bang! Someone slammed the table.
They turned to the source of the sound and found it came from Benjamin’s table.
The slam was so loud that it caused cups, bowls, and plates on the table to jump. Following the noise,four or five customers near the table also stood up.
The one who slammed the table was Benjamin, and he was the first one to stand up.
“I didn’t expect that today’s lunch would turn into such a situation! Mr. Sheraton, I’ve disappointed you.Benjamin said.
He turned to leave, but the burly man beside him reached out and grabbed him. “Captain York, pleasedon’t get upset. Let’s sit down and talk.
He pressed down on Benjamin, but Benjamin resisted.
The burly man said, “Captain York, my family’s livelihood depends on you. If you let us go, we canchange our ways. This won’t happen again.”
He picked up a newspaper bundle from the table and handed it to Benjamin, saying, “I’ll make amendswhen I get back. This won’t happen again!”
Benjamin blocked the package with his arm, causing it to fly and the newspaper to scatter. Suddenly, alarge number of blue hundred-dollar, bills fluttered throughout the restaurant, and the place erupted intochaos.
Caleb Sheraton stood up abruptly and shouted, “Benjamin, you’re being too arrogant!”
Benjamin gave a cold snort and turned to leave, but the burly man grabbed his waist. Benjamin usedthe momentum to reverse the situation, pinning the burly man to the ground and warning, “Do you wantto bet if I’ll shoot you right now?”
The burly man cried out, “Captain York, I’ll have to compensate for four to five hundred thousand! I justgot released, and my relatives and friends pitched in to buy this car. My whole family depends on thisvehicle for our livelihood!”
“You brought this upon yourself by crossing my path. Let’s handle it according to the procedure!”Benjamin’s eyes were icy.
The burly man tried to rise again. Benjamin grabbed his belt, and in a swift move, the burly man wasthrown out, landing right next to Emmeline. Then, he grabbed Emmeline by the neck.
“If I’m doomed, I’ll take one life first. This is your friend, isn’t it, Benjamin?”
“Don’t act recklessly!” Benjamin yelled, “I don’t know her!”
“But I saw you smiling at her!” The burly man sneered.
Caleb walked over, wearing a stern expression, and said, “Diesel Parker, I arranged this lunch. We’lldiscuss Captain York’s disrespect today. But now, don’t cause any more trouble.”
Diesel replied, “Mr. Sheraton, I know you’ve been looking out for me. If I get in trouble today, you’ll alsobe implicated. If you can convince Captain York to let this slide, I won’t cause any more problems. I’vejust been released, and I don’t want to go back inside.”
Benjamin kept his eyes on Emmeline and said to Diesel, “Release her, and then we can talk.”
“How can I trust you?”
“Mr. Sheraton is here; my word is good.”
“Is it over this time?” Diesel pressed on.
