Chapter 91 Grenade Attacks Again
Abel acted as if he hadn’t heard a single word. Calmly, he unlocked his phone and began dialing the police.
“Don’t call the police!”

Jamie exploded the moment he saw what Abel was doing. He lunged forward, trying to snatch the phone from Abel’s hand.
But Abel easily dodged and shot him a cold, penetrating glare–his expression was dark and deadly as if he was staring at a dead man.
Jamie’s hand froze mid–air, and he started to tremble.
Who the hell is this guy? Why does he have such a terrifying look in his eyes?
Jamie’s gaze flicked toward the rows of upscale houses nearby.
Even though he kept to himself most of the time, he had lived in this wealthy neighborhood for years and had never seen this man before.
This is Aetheris’s most well–known high–end residential area. If I hadn’t seen this guy before, he probably isn’t anyone important.
Jamie told himself that and straightened up.
“This is about money, right? Just say how much you want. No need to put on this whole ‘I’m calling the police‘ act.”
Money?” Abel scoffed while still glaring daggers at him.
What a joke. Do I look like someone who needs money?
Jamie swallowed hard but tried to stand his ground. He assumed Abel was bluffing—nothing more than an angry passerby.
“Grenade didn’t actually hurt anyone, and you injured my dog. I’m already being generous by offering compensation— anyone else would’ve just walked away.”
Tess’s expression darkened as she watched Jamie act so shamelessly.
“Sir, walking a dog without a leash in public is against the law. We were acting in self–defense. If we’re talking about responsibility, it’s entirely yours.”
Her voice was clear and firm. “I support calling the police.”
She finally turned to look at Abel.
If Abel hadn’t been there, and the golden retriever had knocked her down, Layla could’ve been seriously hurt.
A terrifying image flashed through her mind, making Tess shudder. A moment later, a wave of lingering fear swept through
her chest.
Their eyes met in midair, and Abel’s knuckles tensed around the phone.
Jamie, however, clapped his hands over his ears and shouted, “You people are unbelievable! I said I’d pay!”
Seeing the cold determination in both of their expressions, he dropped all pretense of apology, “You clearly don’t live in Bayridge Villas, do you? Do you even know who I am? Don’t go picking fights with people you can’t afford to mess with!”
He threatened while puffing up his chest and beer belly arrogantly.
“You know what? My uncle is the police chief of Aetheris. You think calling the cops is going to help you?”
Jamie looked at them smugly, expecting to see fear or regret.
Tess clenched her jaw in irritation, but Abel was unfazed.

Abel noticed the light fragrance drifting from her hand and the warmth of her touch. He turned and met her eyes.
