Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 485

Chloe took a leisurely stroll around her old school campus. It wasn’t a weekend, but the grounds were open to visitors. Even so, the place was pretty quiet, with students attending their regular classes. By the time lunch rolled around, Chloe decided to grab something to eat at the cafeteria. Though this was her hometown and the place where everything began, two decades had washed away any sign of the old hospital. Chloe was just there to walk down memory lane. After finishing her meal, she headed out of the school.

Not far past the gates, she noticed a couple of students being roughed up in an alley by a bald thug. Without hesitating, Chloe rushed over. The kids were just regular teens, skinny and looking pretty helpless against the tattooed bully. Chloe closed the gap quickly, and without saying a word, she grabbed the thug's hand with a swift motion that echoed like snapping bones.

The bald guy was sweating buckets from the pain, “Who the heck are you?” he barked. Ignoring him, Chloe turned to the kids, “What’s going on here?”

One of the boys, visibly shaking, glanced at the thug and said, “He comes every day for ‘protection money.’ If we don’t pay, he drags us into the woods at night and beats us.”

Chloe was appalled that such bullying could happen openly in a supposedly law-abiding place. “Does the school know? Have you told your teachers?” she asked, frowning.

Both boys shook their heads, “He warned us not to. If we did, he’d beat us even worse.”
