51: Chapter 51 Old Spots and New Faces 51: Chapter 51 Old Spots and New Faces Carlos held his cell phone and quickly walked out, Emily watched his departing figure, her eyes dimd, but she didn’t speak up to stop him.
Her ears were sharp, and she had recognized the voice on Carlos’s phone just now – it was the girl who had called Carlos before.
Carlos’s officially declared beloved.
Carlos reached the door before he rembered that he was supposed to be there eating with Emily.
He turned back, hesitated, and then said,
“Wait for to co back.”
He left these four words behind and hurriedly walked away.
“Wait for to co back” were the words Emily disliked the most.
She rembered that before her mother had the accident, she had also said the sa thing to her.
She took her mother’s word and waited obediently.
But after waiting for a long ti, her mother never ca back.
When she went to look for her mother, she only found her barely breathing…
Carlos walked out of the dingy restaurant, trying to call Rainny White again on his phone.
But the call wouldn’t go through.
Carlos made a few more calls.
Three minutes later, five or six bodyguards had rushed to Carlos’s side.
“Go find Rainny White imdiately.”
He showed them a photo of Rainny White.
After hearing his orders, the bodyguards all looked troubled.
They were professional bodyguards, but University Town was too large.
To find a girl without any clues was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“Rainny White’s phone doesn’t have location tracking enabled.
University Town is very big; indeed, it’s very hard to find her.”
Carlos thought for a mont, then had soone bring a computer right away…
At that mont, in an alley without streetlights.
Rainny White huddled against a cardboard box, her new clothes torn open, and several female students surrounding her, one of them pulling at Rainny’s hair.
“What do you want to do?”
Rainny’s voice trembled with fear, she was afraid.
“What we want to do, I heard you’re really sothing, daring to steal my spot.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Slap—
A slap landed on Rainny’s porcelain-like face.
Rainny scread, and then her mouth was covered by soone.
Soone produced a lighter, ignited it, and shone it on Rainny’s delicate face for inspection.
“Such a pretty blind girl, no wonder quite a few boys and male teachers at school like you so much.”
A young woman in her early twenties stepped forward.
She had chestnut-red long hair and wore designer brands, clearly from a rich and prestigious family in Capital.
She was a wealthy daughter from Capital.
She pulled out a craft knife.
Even though she couldn’t see, Rainny sensed the danger, her slender shoulders trembled non-stop, and her voice was laced with sobs.
“Please, don’t cut my face, Brother Carter, Brother Carter, please co save !”
“Save your breath, this alley is so secluded that even stray dogs won’t co.”
Just then, they all heard a burst of angry shouting,
“Stop!”
Hearing that voice, Rainny, who was on the verge of despair, saw it as a lifeline and called out loudly,
“Brother Carter, Brother Carter, I’m here.”
There was urgency, the screams of the girls, and several stern reprimands.
The bullying female students were pinned down on the ground, unable to move.
Rainny heard a series of steady footsteps getting closer, her heart was tumultuous.
Without caring that her clothes were still half-open, she flung herself into the man’s embrace like a little bird and hugged his waist tightly.
She buried her head in the man’s chest, allowing her tears to wet the man’s shirt.
“Brother Carter, I knew you would co to save .”
The man’s body stiffened, and after quite a while, he hesitantly began to speak,
“Rainny…”
anwhile, at the small restaurant, Emily was still waiting for Carlos to co back.
More than half an hour had passed since his departure.
The hot and sour potato shreds were served, the mao blood hotpot too, and finally, the pickled fish was put on the table.
The steaming hot dishes gradually cooled down, but Carlos still hadn’t returned.
Emily listlessly played with the potato shreds with her chopsticks.
In her mind, she thought,
“Carlos, that big liar, really doesn’t keep his word.
When he cos back, I’m definitely going to make him pay the bill.”
As Emily cursed Carlos, at the entrance of the small restaurant, a young couple was about to walk in.
“The pickled fish made by this little restaurant is delicious.
When I was still studying at University Town, I would co here to eat on weekends.”
The man’s voice was mild and amiable, very pleasant to listen to.
Adam Willow and Sophie Parker walked into the small restaurant hand in hand.
Seeing the environnt of the small restaurant, Sophie’s carefully made-up eyes flashed with disdain.
“This little restaurant is both dirty and greasy, and the floor is so dirty too.
My designer high heels are going to get dirty.”
But she dared not show it on her face.
She knew that Adam, for now, hadn’t inherited a massive inheritance.
He was just a regular salaried doctor.
He had just bought a house, was dealing with a mortgage, and finances were tight.
He was not like Carlos, the Crown Prince, who could afford high-end restaurants and five-star hotels at a whim.
As soon as Adam entered, he habitually walked toward the spot where he and Emily used to sit.
When he arrived at the usual spot, he found that it was already taken.
