Abel rushed in with a murderous look on his face. He glanced at Jocelyn, whose clothes were still intact, and sighed with relief.
He was followed by several others.
Seeing this, Dan raised his eyebrows and said, âPresident Crain, what are youâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, Abel walked up to him and immediately picked up a wine bottle. Without saying a word, he smashed it on his head.
Blood trickled down Danâs head, but Abel was so angry that he kicked Dan to the ground.
Dan came to and got up to fight back but in the end, Abel did not even give him the opportunity to retaliate at all. He just grabbed another wine bottle and threw it at him.
Dan lost the chance to strike. Coupled with Abelâs fury, he was immediately beaten to a pulp. Abel threw another bottle of wine at him. His voice was cold. âIf you want to die, get up and fight me. I wouldnât be Abel Crain if I donât kill you today!â
The others were stunned and so frightened that they dared not move.
Abel turned around and started kicking the people surrounding Jocelyn away. Jocelyn could see clearly the purple diamond on his ear that was stained with blood.
She thanked Abel from the bottom of her heart at this moment.
Jocelyn stood up and tidied up her clothes. Her breath was still unsteady. âThank you! Abel.â
Abel was in a rage but when he heard Jocelynâs voice, he became even more infuriated.â Jocelyn, you are a woman. What are you doing coming to a place like this in the evening? Are you daft?â
This was the first time Abel has spoken to Jocelyn like this. He had always been all laughs and would call her Lil Sis with a playful smile.
Jocelyn was grateful and repeated, âReally, thank you very much, Abel!â
Abelâs expression was livid.
Jocelyn continued, âI really have gone braindead today. Who hasnât done one or two foolish things in their life? I know this is a pit trap. I hadnât wanted to create a huge problem for the company and wanted to nip the problem in the bud but I didnât expect some people to be so bold! I really made a mistake this time!â
Abel looked at Jocelyn, angry and distressed.
The first time he met Jocelyn, he had also troubled her. However, he only got her to drink, nothing as heinous as what Dan was planning!
Jocelyn had never met with real darkness, now she had!
He glanced at Jocelyn before turning to Dan, who was lying on the ground with blood over his face. âDoesnât he like stripping? Strip him and leave him on the Mauve City Bridge to dry all night!â
People immediately walked past from behind him. They pulled Dan up and walked out.
Danâs whole body hurt as if he had broken bones all over. He could not get free of Abelâs bodyguards and was so mad he could kill. âAbel Crain, you dare!â
Abel looked at him darkly. âAs if I donât. I will have you dead for daring to touch my people!â
Dan was dragged away.
Everyone in the box seat did not even dare breathe.
Abel glanced at Jocelyn. âLetâs go. What are you spacing out for!â Jocelyn pursed her lips and followed him out. Jocelyn only realized when she left that there was a person in Danâs box seat who had been there the first time Abel was also in the same box seat when he forced her to drink.
He had informed the group chat that Dan had blocked her in and was messing with her. Abel had been in the bar next door and had come over when he had made sure of the location.
Abel wanted to send Jocelyn home but she insisted on driving herself back.
Abel did not insist. He accompanied Jocelyn to her car. âDan is a piece of work. Stay away from him in the future!â
Jocelyn was on her best behavior that night and nodded. âI will keep a distance from him in the future!â
Abel pondered for a moment before asking, âDid he bother you because of Skyler?â
Jocelyn glanced at him in surprise. Abel added in a hissy manner, âYou donât have to look at me like that.
Iâve guessed as much. Dan and Moore the Second are at odds with one another. Moore the Second and Jim opened up a game company at the beginning of the year and created several small games.
Unexpectedly, those small games became more and more popular and within six months, Danâs game company had been overtaken.
âMoore the Second used to be the overlord of the jewelry industry, but now he plans on grabbing a share of the game industry. Dan couldnât let it slide. He was itching to have his guts for garters and wanted to get back at Moore the Second and Jim both openly and secretly. Especially since both companies have developed the same kind of competitive games recently and have similar release dates, It is likely that the competition will be even more intense when the time comes!â
Abel looked at Jocelyn sincerely. âDan doesnât like Moore the Second, and he canât do anything about him so he could only attack you! Jocelyn, I know Moore the Second might be a good boss to you and treats you quite well but you donât have to sell your life because of this. You donât have to get involved in their battles. Look how dangerous things got tonight. Listen to me. Stay away from Moore the Second, itâs for your own good!â
Jocelyn knew that Abel was confiding in her.
She pursed her lips. âIâll be careful next time!â
She could only reply as such. She understood Abelâs kind intentions toward her but her relationship with Skyler was one only on paper. How could she just leave?
Abel got mad when he saw that she was being stubborn. âForget it, go. I donât want to see you starting from this second!â
Instead, Jocelyn laughed and said, âAbel, I know you look like a jerk, but you are actually a good man!â
Abel smiled through his anger. âJocelyn, are you praising me or insulting me? Not to mention, youâre starting to push me into the friend zone!â
