Chapter 544 Hatred
Jolin immediately chased after the car. The person who tried to knock Amelia down was quite sly. He swerved through the traffic and caused chaos on the road. When he saw a few cars running into each other, he opened his car door and ran out quickly. Upon seeing that, Jolin got out of her car too and ran after him. Although the perpetrator had some tricks up his sleeves, he was no match for Jolin because she’d gone through professional training.
The man fell to the ground after Jolin took off her shoe and threw it at him. When he was about to get up and run, Jolin had already arrived in front of him. A fight ensued between the two of them.
The man wasn’t too bad of a fighter, and he managed to put up a good fight. However, he was getting tired as the fight prolonged.
Jolin spun a reverse kick at the man, and he fell. She then flipped him over and pressed him against the ground.
“Don’t move! Tell me everything now, or I’m going to cut off your hand!” Jolin threatened.
“Please spare me! I was paid to only scare that woman. I didn’t mean to hit her or anything. Please let me go! I won’t do it again,” the man begged while being pinned to the ground.
Jolin glared at him disdainfully and uttered coldly, “Well, if you manage to keep your life, you can then re-think your decision of taking up such a mission in the future.”
The man was scared out of his wits upon hearing that.
Initially, he only wanted to make some money for himself, and he never thought his life would be at risk. Indeed, he wouldn’t dare to repeat such a grave mistake again.
Jolin rang Oscar on the phone and said, “Boss, someone wanted to run into Mrs. Clinton with a car. I’ve already apprehended him. What do you want to do about it?”
Oscar could be heard breathing heavily from the phone. In a deep tone, he asked, “Is Amelia okay? Did she get hurt?”
Jolin gave it some thought and answered, “Don’t worry, Boss. I was just in time. Mrs. Clinton is fine. It’s just that she has a lot of haters at the moment. They’re all trying to bring her down with their dirty tricks. If you don’t kill him and make an example out of him, I’m afraid those haters might act even more brazenly.”
“Bring the man back to the organization. I’ll be there shortly. If Amelia asks if you’ve caught the perpetrator, just tell her you’ve already brought him to the police. Say whatever you need to say to get her mind off of it. I’ll handle the rest,” Oscar instructed in a cold tone.
“Yes, Boss.”
After Jolin brought the man back to the organization, she told the others to keep an eye on him and make sure nothing was going to happen to him until Oscar’s arrival.
Upon giving her instructions, Jolin left the organization and gave Amelia a call.
“Jolin, where are you? Did you catch that guy? Are you all right?” Amelia asked anxiously the moment she picked up the phone.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Clinton. I’ve already caught him. I’ve dislocated both of his hands and brought him to the police. Since I’ve already given my statement, there’s no need for you to show up, Mrs. Clinton. I’ll get everything settled. Don’t worry,” Jolin consoled her.
“That’s good, then.” Amelia felt relieved. However, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “You didn’t tell Oscar about this, right?”
“Mrs. Clinton, since the incident had put your life at risk, I had to tell Boss. I’m sorry. I can’t afford to be responsible for your life. Although I don’t mind dying, the organization is going to get punished if something bad happens to you. That’s why I had to tell Boss about it. I’m truly sorry,” Jolin said truthfully.
Upon hearing that, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mrs. Clinton, are you angry?” Jolin asked cautiously.
“No, I’m not angry. Since something like that had happened to me, Oscar has the right to know. It’s a good thing that you’ve told him.”
Jolin breathed a sigh of relief as well before she said, “Mrs. Clinton, where are you now?”
Amelia gave her an address.
“Okay, Mrs. Clinton. I’m heading there now. Wait for me.”
After hanging up the phone, Jolin headed toward the address Amelia gave her as fast as she could and arrived at a cafe. She walked in and found Amelia sitting at one of the corners of the cafe.
“Mrs. Clinton,” Jolin greeted.
Amelia pointed at the seat opposite her and said, “Have a seat. I’ve ordered a glass of mango juice for you. I’m not sure if you would like that, though.”
“Yes, I do. Thank you, Mrs. Clinton.” Jolin sat down.
After taking a sip of her juice to quench her thirst, she raised her gaze toward Amelia. She felt a rock lifted off of her shoulders after seeing Amelia had regained her composure.
