Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688 Could Make a Woman Cry and Leave a Man Speechless

At this moment, several more security guards who each held an electric baton approached. They shouted, "Don't you hear us telling you to let her go?! If you don't release her, don't blame us for not holding back!"

Theodore's eyebrows were pulled together into a tight frown when he saw the guards coming toward him. Taking advantage of the moment he was distracted, Daphne swiftly broke free from his grasp and ran to the side.

He attempted to reach her again, but the guards stopped him. "It's you! You are the one who has been lurking around here suspiciously for days. We can tell you're up to no good just by looking at you. Go now. Get lost!"

Theodore's face fell further when he heard that. "Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" he growled.

"I don't care who you are. Don't think you have the right to do whatever you want just because you have money. I despise people like you who look civilized and all even though you are a hypocritical beast inside."

"You—"

"Don't 'you' me! Get lost now, or I'll call the cops!"

Outnumbered and unwilling to involve the police because of his identity, Theodore adjusted his collar and snorted coldly before threatening Daphne, "This isn't over. Just you wait!"

One of the guards picked up an electric baton and warned, "Try threatening her again."

Theodore only glanced at them, and he quickly got into his car and drove away.

After he left, the guards spat on the ground and turned to Daphne. "Are you alright?"

Daphne nodded. "I'm fine. Thank you."

"No need to thank us." One of the older security guards put away his baton and informed her, "Your boyfriend has already talked to us in advance. We even feel a little embarrassed by how he occasionally brings us food and drinks."

"Right! With us here, you can rest assured. He won't set foot inside the community gates."

Daphne was still trying to process what the older guard had just said. "My boyfriend?" she asked in confusion.

Another guard nodded and replied, "Yeah! Your boyfriend was here about a month ago. He gave that b*stard a beating and chased him away."

"That's right! He asked us to keep an eye on you so that guy wouldn't harass you anymore. He often buys us cigarettes, alcohol, and delicious food too. Didn't he tell you?"

Daphne only replied after a slight pause. "He… didn't."

The older guard couldn't help but give a thumbs-up as he praised, "Your boyfriend is truly something. It's hard to find such a good boyfriend nowadays. Cherish him, young lady. If I were you, I'd quit that job and get another one."

"Exactly! Just the sight of bosses like yours is enough to make me lose my appetite. They only know how to bully young girls like you who have just entered the real world. Karma will get them sooner or later."

Daphne smiled upon hearing that.

After giving her thanks, she no longer had the mood to go shopping. Instead, she turned around to walk back to the building.

The guards also returned to their posts. However, they decided to give Louis a call after a short discussion.

Although they had already driven away that human scum, they were sure that Daphne must have been quite frightened. Hence, they figured it would be good for her to have her boyfriend come and accompany her.

After returning home, Daphne took off her mask and walked to the refrigerator. She then grabbed a bottle of cold water and took several sips, allowing the frustration that had been swirling in her chest to subside.

She was setting down the water bottle when she noticed a pile of clothes on the couch. And so, she walked into the walk-in closet and began another round of decluttering.

Amid tidying up, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. When she walked out and saw Louis through the monitor, she didn't hesitate to open the door.

The man stared at her intently. He only spoke in a voice slightly colder than usual when he had made sure she wasn't injured. "He came looking for you again?"

She nodded at that. "But he left. I'm fine."

Louis pursed his lips and was about to turn around and leave when Daphne grabbed his arm.

"You came at the right time," she began. "I'm sorting out my clothes, but the suitcase is too heavy for me to lift. Can you help me?"

He kept standing there quietly.

Daphne continued, "You didn't go out of your way coming here just to say those few words, right? Regardless, I have to treat you to a meal. Chop-chop! We can eat after we are done tidying the things up."

Seeing that he still hadn't moved, Daphne pulled him inside, saying as they walked into the walk-in closet, "People of your age should do something useful with their strength instead of wasting it on meaningless things."
