Lena didn't look at him. She looked at the couple with disgust and said, "If you dare to bother me again, I'll find someone to break your son's legs. You cause trouble once, and I will break them once. Let's see who's tougher."
"You!" Blake trembled with anger, pointing at Lena, wishing he could beat her up.
Soon, a van stopped nearby. Five or six burly men rushed over and dragged Blake away.
Blake, who had been shouting just now, turned pale with fear and quickly begged for mercy. "I didn't do anything! If you want to arrest someone, take my daughter! She's rich!"
The leader of the burly men sneered at Blake's coward, "I've been doing this for so many years, and you're the first one I've seen who is so spineless, selling out your own daughter..."
"What daughter?! She was the one we picked up! If it weren't for us, she would have frozen to death! Go catch her! Catch her!" Clare Jenkins, who had been silent until now, also rushed over. She grabbed the leader's hand and screamed hysterically.
The burly man frowned and glanced at Gideon in secret. Seeing Gideon nod, he dragged the two of them away.
Only when they left did Lena's tense body finally relax. She turned to Gideon and said, "They're your people, right? Thank you."
Gideon unnaturally averted his gaze. He knew that Lena wouldn't want others to see her in such a pathetic state.
Just as he was about to comfort her, Lena looked at him and said, "Do you want to have a drink together?"
Gideon hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
It was still the same bar, with the same seats. Gideon and Lena sat together once again, holding their glasses of alcohol.
