Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 993

Garland recognized Liza's voice and darted over.

Debra followed closely behind. As they entered, they saw Liza being approached by a group of sleazy middle-aged men.

Liza stood out like a beacon in her blue-and-white plaid skirt, the schoolgirl aesthetic clashing sharply with her golden curls that tumbled down her back. She looked every bit like the spoiled princess from a wealthy family. She was utterly out of place.

Debra groaned inwardly, 'Dressing so conspicuously in a place like this is practically an invitation for trouble. Forget the low-key investigation.'

"Get lost!" Garland's voice boomed as he reached Liza.

Liza spun around, fury flashing in her eyes. "They got their hands on me. Chop off their hands. Feed them to the dogs."

But Garland froze mid-breath, whatever fiery remarks he'd prepared dying in his throat. He noticed how the men's expressions shifted from slimy to menacing.

Liza's threats might have worked overseas, but in Seamar City, such bold words were a surefire way to provoke a beating or worse.

Debra stepped forward, trying to defuse the tension. "We're all here to have fun. It's not right to bully a girl here."

The leader of the group glanced at her and was immediately attracted to her looks. Though she wore only casual clothes and no makeup, her beauty was undeniable.

His grin widened into something vile. "Trying to stand up for your friend? Well, if you two keep us company tonight, we'll let the matter drop. How does that sound?"

Liza's fury erupted. "Bah! Who do you think you are?"
