The Heiress Revived from the Ashes

Chapter 206 Josh Steps Up

Moments later, Mia spoke up, her voice cool, “Then take me back to school.”

Finished

Kenny hurried to open the car door for her. Just as Mia was about to get in, a black Maitrise suddenly pulled

up

in front of them.

The car door swung open forcefully, and a man rushed down, took a few steps forward, and pulled Mia behind him. Then, without hesitation, he threw a punch at Kenny’s face.

Mia froze, not expecting Josh to suddenly appear. Her pupils dilated for a second, but she quickly regained her composed demeanor.

Before Kenny could react, Josh was on him, his fist carrying a gust of wind straight to Kenny’s eye socket.

With a dull thud, the punch landed precisely on Kenny’s face, the impact causing his body to lurch sideways violently; his eye area immediately swelled up, turning a bruised purple, like he’d been hit with a ton of bricks.

Staggering back a few steps from the punch,

his face a mix of anger and shock, and be. Kenny almost fell to the ground. He finally steadied himself,

“Who the heck are you?”

Josh remained silent, his lips pressed into a thin line, his gaze fierce. He threw another punch, this time aiming for Kenny’s stomach.

Now thoroughly enraged, Kenny, a spoiled rich kid from Hoverdale, who usually got whatever he wanted, except when dealing with Mia, this reckless madwoman, had never been humiliated like this.

He didn’t know this man who had appeared out of nowhere and hadn’t provoked him, yet he was inexplicably being beaten up.

Kenny gritted his teeth, blocked Josh’s punch, and kicked violently towards Josh’s knee.

Mia, coming back to her senses, stepped back a few paces and leaned against Josh’s car, arms crossed, watching the fight with interest.

Josh’s movements were startlingly fast; before Kenny’s leg could land, he grabbed Kenny’s ankle and flipped him onto the ground with a forceful tug.

Kenny hit the ground hard, sweat breaking out from the pain.

Josh looked down at him, his eyes cold as ice, but his tone unnervingly calm, “Stay away from Mia if you don’t want your family to go bankrupt.”

The night breeze lifted the wisps of hair on Mia’s forehead. Watching Josh, his throat working angrily and veins on his neck bulging, she found him irresistibly powerful.

Her fingers idly twirled a strand of her hair as her eyes swept over his lean, muscular torso, internally admiring his tall, broad–shouldered, and narrow–waisted figure, paired with gold–rimmed glasses.

He looked scholarly and refined, yet surprisingly ruthless in a fight, giving off a sense of a fallen scholar.

If she hadn’t known he was gay, she might have been interested in him again.

Mia sighed inwardly; she really liked this type, but she had no interest in troublemakers.

Just then, Josh turned around, their eyes meeting, and he saw Mia’s casually scrutinizing gaze.
