Chapter 119
However, at this moment, a few hooligan–looking people suddenly appeared beside Leo, and they
pushed him roughly. Leo was then taken into a nearby alley
Maja walked a few steps, panting for breath while holding on to a tree by the side of the road in pain.
She was worried that Leo would conflict with those people, so she gritted her teeth and followed. There
were sounds of fighting and cursing in the dark alley “When will you pay back the money? If you don’t
pay back, I will beat you to death today!” “Scumbag, you still dare to hide?”
As soon as Maja reached the entrance of the alley, she heard these voices.
She called the police immediately, worried that Leo would really be injured by these people, so she
yelled, “Stop it!”
They halted and turned around to see her in her fancy dress. They whistled, then slowly approached.
“Hey, beauty! Leo, when did you meet such a beauty?!”
Leo hunched his body, trying his best to protect his head. He looked up to see Maja, his eyes were
filled with worry.

Leo’s voice trembled with pain. He tried to stand up but his ribs were broken, so he couldn’t push.
Maja was extremely disappointed in Leo who was almost thirty with no stable job–and he was reduced
to begging in Greenfield!
She was both upset and angry, thinking that if Daly and Susan knew about this, they would be very
distressing..
But when she saw the thugs approaching her, she had no choice but to back away slowly.
Her leg was still hurting, and she was wearing high heels shoes. As she backed away, her heel caught
on the tactile paving on the road, causing her to lose balance and fall backward.
Oh, great
Now she would be completely unable to walk.
But the expected pain did not come. Her waist was firmly hugged, and the man’s breath was slightly
indifferent. Maja looked up slightly and saw the man’s smooth jawline.
Recognizing the familiar scent, she froze. Once she stood straight, she quickly distanced herself from
the man.
“Mr. Raymond.”
She exclaimed in surprise, and then looked up to see lan’s car parked not far away.
She was so striking in this gown that it was hard not to be recognized. Only then did Maja realize that
she had strayed far from where she got off the car, and she couldn’t even see her car anymore.
lan’s brows furrowed. He had seen her walking along the road dressed in a fancy dress, followed by a
bunch of thugs. What was she up to?
His features were well–defined, his face was not smiling, and he looked unapproachable.
Seeing that Maja had steadied herself and hastily created some distance between them, he pursed his
lips.
His gaze fell on her dress. Her makeup was light today, making her eyes exceptionally clear. The curve
of her waist was highlighted, revealing her smooth skin.
lan immediately looked away. “What are you doing here, dressed like this?”
Just as Maja was about to explain, the thugs surrounded her again.
“Naughty lady, why did you bring your boyfriend here?”
The punks‘ eyes shamelessly lingered on Maja. As they got closer, they realized how beautiful Maja

Maja’s face turned serious, she looked at Leo who was still moaning on the ground, feeling very
annoyed.
The thugs didn’t waste any more time and reached out to grab her, but lan intercepted them mid–air.
Ian moved swiftly and decisively, twisting the thug’s arm and pushing him away.
“Mr. Raymond, be careful.”
There were five thugs and only one lan, all Maja could do was to protect herself as best she could.
However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw all the thugs lying on the ground, moaning in
pain.
lan’s breathing was still even, he was clearly very relaxed.
Maja was a bit surprised, but she didn’t have time to say anything. She quickly went over to Leo
“Are you okay?”
As soon as she said it, she saw a flash of fear in Leo’s eyes, followed by the sound of a dagger
piercing through flesh.
Maja turned around to see lan’s palm pierced by a dagger, and his hand was on her back, apparently,
the dagger was originally aimed at her.
The tip of the dagger had pierced through lan’s palm, and blood flowed down, looking horrifying.
