The Legendary Man novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Emmeline Smith

It was none other than Emmeline Smith, the youngest daughter of the Smith family.

She was Josephine’s younger sister and his sister-in-law.

Why is she here? Jonathan wondered, a frown creasing his forehead. Before I left the Smith family, she was in her senior year in high school. Why is she in a bar now?

Moreover, Emmeline seemed to be drunk, for her gaze was unfocused, and her cheeks tinted coral. Jonathan’s eyes trailed to her burgundy-dyed hair before his gaze dropped to her white mini skirt. With the hair color and skimpy clothes, she looked like a delinquent.

The frown on Jonathan’s forehead deepened when he saw the hooligans sitting beside her. From their colored hairs and arms covered with tattoos, it was apparent that they spelled trouble.

“Come on, Emmeline. Have another drink! I’ll give you a ride home if you finish this drink,” one of them urged as he raised a glass. Stealthily, he shook his hand, and some powder fell into the drink.

Meanwhile, another hooligan took Emmeline’s arm and pressed her to drink it. It was clear that they would feed her the alcohol by force if she were to say no.

“I can’t drink anymore,” Emmeline said, shaking her head. Clearly, she was delirious from drinking too much alcohol.

“Seriously? Don’t be a spoilsport!” The hooligans shared a look before pouring the drink down Emmeline’s throat.

 

Alas, Emmeline was not strong enough to resist and was forced to gulp down the glass of beer. After that, they helped her up and dragged her to the door. “Come on, Emmeline. Let’s have fun tonight!”

“I wonder if she’s a virgin. If she is, we’ve hit the jackpot!”

“It doesn’t matter. We’re not going to marry her, are we? That’s none of our business.”

“Yes, it has nothing to do with us!”

The hooligans squeezed past the crowd and brought the unconscious Emmeline to the door.

At that point, she could not even open her eyes.

When they arrived at the door, a figure stood in their way. “Let her go!”

“Who the hell are you?” The sight of a busybody riled the hooligans. “Scram! Otherwise, we’ll beat you to a pulp!”

“Damn it! How dare you block our path? Don’t you know who we are?”

Under the influence of alcohol, the hooligans did not take the other person seriously.

“Let me repeat myself—let her go and get out of here!” It was Jonathan who had witnessed the whole scene by chance.

Even though his sister-in-law often insulted him in the past, she was still Josephine’s sister. Otherwise, he would not have stuck his nose in her business.

“F*ck you, b*stard!” One of the hooligans grabbed a beer bottle as anger poured through him and swung it toward Jonathan’s head.

If the bottle were to hit Jonathan’s head, he would surely be wounded.

However, they were no match for Jonathan.
