Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 71 At his words , I turned back around and took a long , careful look at him from head to toe .

Though he was cleaning , his movements were far from graceful , and he wasnt even wearing a janitors uniform .

His attire wasnt particularly expensive , but it was far from shabby .

Even his shoes were polished to a shine , with not a speck of dust on them .

It seemed he had only noticed the mess on the floor and decided to clean up without thinking much of it Just then , the man turned around , and I finally saw his face clearly .

The moment I saw him , something clicked .

He looked familiar , like someone I had seen on a couple of contract photocopies in the marketing department , a man named Martin Zamora .

Though , the person in the photo looked a bit younger .

After a second glance , all my doubts were gone , and I walked straight toward the old man If he werent Martin , Zachary wouldnt have asked me to take a second look At that point , there was no need to confirm anything with Zachary .

I had to find out more about Martins situation first Just as I was about to step forward , a group of people walked past me .

One of them finished the last sap of his bottled water and casually tossed the empty bottle onto the ground .

Martin frowned at the scene , clearly about to come over to clean it up .

I quickly snatched up the bottle and threw it in the trash before he could My grandfather used to say , the quickest way to bond with someone is to do what they do .

Sometimes , a little strategy could help one like shortcuts , When I glanced back .

I saw Martins face break into a pleased smile .

I was about to speak when I saw a familiar figure flash by Uncle Martin , what are you doing here sweeping the floor ! Arent you supposed to be at the store ? someone spoke .

That voice sounded just like Dylans I looked up in surprise and , sure enough , saw Dylans hamilsomte , sunny profile He was holding Martins arm , looking concerned as he asked Noticing my gaze .

Dylan turned and met my eyes .

In that brief moment , I could clearly see the surprise and joy in his eyes .

Yvonne ! What a coincidence ! he said , his voice light and cheerful .

You to know each other ? Martin asked , clearly puzzled .

That was when I remembered Martin seemed to be part of the Zamora Family Yeah , Uncle Martin , this is my senior , Yvonne .

Shes amazing , one of the top students at our school .

Dylan was introducing me .

1 felt embarrassed Honestly , I wasnt that outstanding .

I had just made a donation to the school .

Its not that big of a deal .

Dylan , dont exaggerate , I interrupted awkwardly .

But its true , Dylan said seriously , nodding as though he genuinely believed I was impressive .

I had no idea how to explain further .

Dylan never lies .

You must be very excellent .

I saw you pick up that water bottle earlier .

There arent many kids like you these days I felt my checks redden , awkwardly running a hand through my hair .

Mr.

Zamora , actually , I just … I almost admitted I had done it on purpose , but I stopped halfway through suddenly too embarrassed to finish my sentence .

In situations like this , it was better to keep the truth to myself .

Not everything needs to be shared with the world Dylan , seemingly oblivions to my discomfort , turned back to Martin Uncle Martin , why arent you at the store ! Dont even mention it .

The stores being renovated , and its a mess .

No one knows whats going on .

I cant be bothered to go in .

Martin sighed heavily , his face clouded with worry .

As I thought back to what I had seen earlier in the store , I remembered that it was bright and spacious inside , but nothing seemed strange or out of place as Martin had said Could there have been some sort of misunderstanding ! I wondered .

Dylan , clearly puzzled , asked .

Uncle Martin , what exactly is going on ? Didnt you say you paid the rent already ? Why is someone else coming in to renovate your store ? Its all Irenes fault Martin snapped , frustration and anger clear in his voice , She promised me a weeks grace period , but I didnt expect her to secretly rent the store to someone else .

When I came back to pay the rent , nobody told me .

Now , that damned guy Harrison claims the store is his and has already brought in people to renovate it ? Martin was so angry , he looked like he might stomp his foot in rage Dylan sighed sympathetically .

What are we going to do now ? This store has been your business for a lifetime , Uncle Martin ..

From these few sentences , I was beginning to piece together the situation .

No wonder the people in the marketing department had said that neither of the clients wanted compensation .

Martin had built his business here for decades , so of course , he wasnt going to just let go easily I paused for a moment , then asked , Mr.

Zamora , have you talked to Irene about this What good would that do ? Martin growled , his anger rising again .

Shes already left the company .

I cant even find her .

The people at the company just keep passing the blame around Dylan hurried to calm Martin down , but my attention was drawn to a sharp gaze fixed on me from a distance .

1 glanced over and , to my surprise , saw that Zachary hadnt left yet He was still watching me closely , with a twisted , almost sinister smile tugging at the corners of his lips .

Martin was the one I needed to find , but I couldnt shake the feeling that Zachary was looking at me like he was watching a spectacle .

Whats with that look ? Why does he seem to find this so entertaining ? I wondered Before I could figure it out , Dylan , still supporting Martin , began heading toward the store .

As we reached the door , a group of large , burly men suddenly appeared and blocked our way Martin , you still dare to show up ! one of them sneered .

Mr.

Robinson says if you step foot in this store well break your legs The group of men started shouting aggressively .

You … you guys Martin stammered , trembling with rage , but there was nothing lie could do to stop them .

Dylan quickly pulled Martin back a few steps , his voice rising in anger as he shouted , Who the hell are you guys ! This store was rented by Uncle Marlin Hiph icarly Mr.

Robinsons territory , the leader of the group sneered .

You briter get out of here , or well make sure your whole family regret it .

He raised a baseball bat clearly preparing to strike .

You dare to threaten un ? Martin yelled .

What youre doing will get you arrested ? I could see that things were escalating quickly , and I grabbed Dylans arm , urging him .

Lets leave .

Its not worth it .

There are too many of them , Chapter 71 and if a fight breaks out , well be at a disadvantage .

Before Dylan could respond , one of the men , enraged by Martins wards , swung his baseball bat directly at me .

For a moment , I couldnt understand why I was the target .

I hadnt said anything to provoke him .

Did he think I wouldnt fight back ? thought , confused , But before I could proces it any further , my thoughts were interrupted .

In the blink of an eye , Dylan spun around and wrapped his arms around me , pulling me into his chest and shielding me with his back .

Bang ! The sound of the bat hitting Dylans body echoed in the air , a deafening crash that sent a shiver through me .

I stood there frozen , my mind completely blank .

I had never imagined that someone would step in front of me like this , so fiercely , in a life or- death moment , protecting me with everything they had In the distance , a long lens emerged from a comer , the sound of a camera shutter snapping rapidly .

The person behind the camera grinned widely , his smile stretching so far it looked like it might reach his ears .

Mrs.

Parker , all cozy man in broad daylight .

This is spicy .

I wonder how Hayden will react when he sees these pictures And how much will be pay to buy them ? with another COMMENT
