BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189 - 189: I’ll Pay for Him
She turned to look at Sam who was still hugging the camera tightly in his arms. Almost immediately, Serenity had pretty much figured out what was going on.
Sam had been meaning to reimburse his work expenses so she knew that he was not here to spend money.
She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and turned around with him. Then, she hushedly asked, “How did you offend them?”
Sam took out his camera and pointed at the man on the sofa. “Ms. Lewis asked me to investigate him… So 1 secretly followed him here and took a few photos, but they found out.”
Serenity glared at him. “Why didn’t you call the police when something happened? Why did you ask me to be your meat cushion?”
He scratched the back of his head. “I can tell that these people are not to be trifled with. And besides, the police nowadays are all people who fawn on the powerful. Aren’t you Miss Rivers? You must have a way to settle this matter.”
After saying that, he smiled at her only to wince instantly since it had agitated the wound on his cheek.
Serenity cursed in her heart. Then, she snatched the camera from his arms and took out the film. When Sam saw that she wanted to hand over the film, he hurriedly pulled her arm and said, “If you give it to him, won’t I be beaten up for nothing?”
But she simply glared at him in return. These people looked fiercely upset. Shouldn’t her life and Sam’s be more important now?
She pushed his hand away and turned around to give the film to the bodyguard. “Can we go now?”
Sam Kiln touched the wound on the corner of his mouth and looked at the bodyguard who destroyed the film. His face was filled with pain.
The man on the sofa lit a cigar, looking handsome like a piece of sculpture carved out by a sharp knife. His gaze fell on Serenity and the corners of his mouth curled up into a devilish smile. “You want to leave?”
His tone sounded rather lazy. There was no hint of anger but a kind of terror still creeped up on Serenity.
Although the man in front of her had been smiling, his smile hid a knife behind it.
Sam knew that this was not the time to put on a brave front so he passed the camera in his hand to the bodyguard beside him and asked him to check it. “I’ve already given you the thing. If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself.”
The man leisurely took a puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke. He raised his handsome eyebrows. “Do you know how much those bottles of wine cost?”
“How much? 1’11 pay for it,” said Sam weakly.
He knew the bill would not be cheap and started wondering if his savings were enough.
The man casually glanced at the glass shards on the ground and smiled even more wickedly. With a relaxed tone, the man said, “It’s not much. One bottle is only a few hundred thousand yuan. You just threw three bottles, so it’s only 180,000 dollars.”
180,000 ?!
Sam was flabbergasted. He only had 20,000 dollars in savings. Even if he sold himself, he wouldn’t have 180,000 dollars.
Serenity looked straight at the man on the sofa. “I’ll pay for him.”
“180,000 is not a small amount.” Sam panicked.
The man laughed at her, looking increasingly attractive.
But to Serenity, his laughter only gave her the creeps.
This man was too suspicious. Serenity had to stall for time while trying to figure out their escape route. Calvin Gilbert would definitely come looking for her after he was done with Julian.
“A person like you wouldn’t care about a mere 180,000. You just find it interesting to fight a cornered beast. Since it’s my friend who has wronged you, 1 apologize on his behalf.” After saying that, she bowed deeply to the man. “I’m sorry..”
