Chapter 14
With that, the drunkard raised the bottle in his hand and tried to pour wine into Tabitha’s mouth.
Tabitha felt disgusted and struggled hard. The back of her pale hand. tightened, and the blue veins bulged out.
“Get lost,” she bellowed.
“So lofty, aren’t you? You look like a rich lady, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you make others kneel and beg you? Speaking of which, I’ve never exerted myself on a rich lady. It must be an interesting experience.” The drunkard’s mouth was full of filthy words. Tabitha knew that she was in trouble today, so she quietly took out her phone and was about to call the police.
Suddenly, the drunkard exerted force and dragged her toward the wine rack. Then, he reached his sweaty hand toward Tabitha’s face.
Tabitha was firmly grabbed by him. Given the significant difference in strength, she couldn’t escape. She tried to keep calm and scanned the surroundings with her eyes, searching for anything she could use to defend herself.
When she was flustered and helpless, a warm hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and rescued her from the drunkard. At the same time, her savior kicked the drunkard to the ground.
Tabitha was surrounded by the familiar cold scent, and a comforting feeling washed over her.
Tabitha looked up and saw Malcolm’s tightened chin, her eyes widening slightly. She was dumbfounded.
‘Why is he here?’ she wondered.
For a moment, Tabitha’s eyes felt sore.
But she knew Malcolm couldn’t have come to save her.

Suppressing the complicated feelings in her heart, Tabitha came to herself and pushed Malcolm away, asking, “Why are you here?”
Malcolm also came back to his senses. He quickly let go of Tabitha and kept a distance from her. His voice was very light. “I’m here to pick up Naomi.”
Malcolm was not telling the truth.
Originally, he suspected that Tabitha had an affair with Chadwick, so he came here to find evidence of her cheating.
Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene and instinctively saved her.
The drunkard was kicked to the ground by Malcolm and struggled to get up. He pointed at Malcolm and scolded, “Who are you? How dare you interfere in my business? Why don’t you go out and find out who I am? Don’t you want to hang around here anymore?”
The drunkard made a gesture to call his gang.
It had been a long time since Malcolm heard anything so ridiculous.
In the whole Xosa, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
He straightened the wrinkled collar of his suit and narrowed his eyes coldly.
“This is my wife. Who dares to touch her?” he declared.
Even though Tabitha did some deceitful things behind his back, deceiving and taking advantage of his grandfather’s feelings, she was still his wife in name. If these people dared to hurt Tabitha, it would be like humiliating
him.
The scene fell silent, and those who were glanced at by Malcolm’s cold eyes felt a chill in their feet and didn’t dare to meet his gaze.
Tabitha fell into a trance amid the vibrant and dynamic interplay of light.
