Chapter 449 Do You Believe That I Can Kill You Here?
Regarding the “accident” with Matt, both of them understood
it without saying a word. They had been old friends for so many years that a single glance or gesture could convey their thoughts to each other.
“Does it even matter if I can let go or not? He’s still living his life happily,” Grace said, lowering her gaze. She lifted her glass and took a sip. “We’re all adults. Apart from being responsible for ourselves, no one else is obligated to take responsibility for you.”
Her words were harsh but reasonable.
In the world of adults, no one should be responsible for others in the end. Each person should be responsible for themselves.
“Grace…” Evelyn wanted to say something but stopped on second thought for fear of hurting her.
Grace waved her hand and said, “You don’t have to comfort
with me.”
Of course, Evelyn wouldn’t refuse, especially since she had her own worries. So she kept drinking with Grace, glass after glass. However, after just an hour, she started feeling a bit dizzy.
At this time, her phone in her pocket started ringing. She saw it was a call from Lucy, realizing she had forgotten to inform her before leaving.
Worried that Lucy might be anxious, Evelyn quickly informed
Grace and hurriedly ran out of the bar with her phone in hand. She didn’t notice that she had turned into an empty corner. “Hello, Mom,” she said.
“Evelyn, it’s almost midnight. Where are you?”
“I’m out for a walk with Grace. She’s troubled, so I’m talking to her. I won’t be going back home tonight. I’ll stay at her place. You and Dad should go to bed early,” Evelyn said.
“Why don’t you take Grace to our house to sleep? It’s so late.
Don’t disturb her…”
“It’s okay, Mom. Grace lives alone. Don’t worry.”
Lucy checked the time and said, “Okay, be careful. Don’t stay up too late.”
“Okay, got it. Good night, Mom.” When Evelyn hung up the
3/4
phone and was about to leave, a few people suddenly jumped out of the intersection.
Evelyn looked closer and saw that they were all young boys in their twenties. Three of them supported a petite girl who appeared to be heavily intoxicated, swaying and struggling to maintain her balance while walking.
“Can we do it here? Are you sure there are no surveillance cameras?” one of the boys with dyed blonde hair asked.
The one who had been asked was obviously much bolder. “It’s okay. I’ve checked it in advance. Don’t worry!”
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the boys stood outside as a lookout while the other two began touching the girl inappropriately. The girl showed clear signs of discomfort and kept pushing them away, but she lacked the strength to resist effectively.
Evelyn looked around. Perhaps she had drunk too much, so she went straight up and asked, “What are you doing?”
Hearing the voice, those boys were all shocked. The yellow-haired boy cursed, “Damn, where did this woman come from? She almost scared me to death!”
