She knew that Chase Harperâs main income now came from his shop. If he lost his shop, he and his daughter would suffer greatly.
âItâs okay if she wants to come here and make a scene again, but donât give in too much to her. If you give in once, thereâll be many more times in the future. Youâll be left with no choice in the end!â Kyla warned him.
Chase Harper said, âOkay, I got it. Let me know if she bothers you again.â
Their concern for each other stung Martin Weissâs eyes.
Chase Harper then turned to Martin Weiss and said, âMr. Weiss, thank you for just now!â
âYouâre thanking me?â Martin Weiss sneered. âIâm just helping Kyla out. You donât need to thank me.â
The âthank youâ made it sound like they were together, while he was just an outsider!
Chase Harper was instantly embarrassed.
Kyla looked at Martin Weiss. âWhy did you come?â
âWould you believe me if I said I came over because I missed you and Nelson?â asked Martin Weiss, âMr. Weiss, I think Iâve made it clear to you that youâre only troubling me by behaving like this,â she said.
âTrouble?â Martin Weiss smiled mockingly as he pointed to Chase Harper and said, âIf Iâm troubling you, what about him? Isnât he troubling you?â
âHeâs my friend! Leave him out of this!â said Kyla as she stood between Chase Harper and Martin Weiss.
However, what she did seem to trigger him even more. MartÃn Weissâs face darkened as he said, âWhat if I have to involve him? Whatâs so good about this guy? What about him is worth defending? What can he give you that I canât?â
He could not help uttering these words as if jealousy had crumbled all his composure.
âMartin Weiss, I wonât forgive you if you lay a hand on Chase! I will never forgive you!â Kyla glared at him as she spoke with utter determination.
Martin Weiss stiffened as he looked at Kyla with determination.
She said something like that for Chase Harper⦠âDoes that meanâ¦â
âIs this man that important to you?â he murmured while his face was ghastly pale.
âYes, heâs my friend. Of course, heâs important to me!â said Kyla. She met Martin Weissâs eyes without the slightest fear.
She was only afraid that she would trouble Chase and that Martin Weiss would do something to him!
Chase had helped her so much. She did not want something bad to happen to Chase because of her!
âReally?â Martin Weiss suddenly smiled. His eyes seemed foggy as he looked at Kyla. âIf I do something to Chase Harper, how exactly are you not going to forgive me?â
âMartin Weiss!â shouted Kyla. The coldness and hatred in her eyes drained the color from his face.
How long had she not looked at him with such hatred?
It was all because of Chase Harper!
Martin Weiss hardly had the strength to continue standing. He dared not even glance at Kyla as he was scared to see the hatred in her eyes again.
