Usually, Liam was the most quick–tempered one, but this time, he stayed quiet, not joining in the insults. Still, his face looked troubled.

I even warned Chris before, worried that Tracy might get hurt.

But honestly, someone like her–with such a nasty heart–doesn’t deserve my care at all!

Tracy had no idea what the Jackmans were saying behind her back.

Right now, her boss was leading her to apologize to a group of really difficult

customers.

These people had been coming for days. Every time, they’d order a huge table of food, eat like animals, then find either hair or bugs in their dishes.

Even if the boss offered apologies or money, they refused to accept it. They kept claiming the kitchen didn’t wash the plates properly.

Whenever the boss tried to check the security footage, they’d slam tables and throw chairs, acting like they wanted a full–blown fight.

Even if the police got involved, the next day, those same people showed up again, right on schedule.

Only when Tracy, the one who washed the dishes, came out personally to apologize and offer compensation did they finally back off.

Of course, the money for all that came straight out of Tracy’s paycheck.

It was clear someone was targeting her on purpose, and Tracy could see it plain as day,

She didn’t know who was behind it, but if these people kept making trouble, her tiny salary wouldn’t cover the costs.

So she decided to confront them. “I know someone sent you. Can I talk to him?”

She hadn’t been back for two years. The ones causing trouble were probably the same few who pushed her into the pool that day–mostly doing it for Erin.

The troublemakers refused to admit it and got angry instead. “What do you mean by that? You’re saying we’re causing trouble on purpose?

“We’re customers. If there’s a problem with your food, isn’t that your fault? What kind of attitude is that?”

When they suddenly got aggressive, the boss tried hard to calm them down, but they still demanded that Tracy get fired.

The boss looked at Tracy, clearly uncomfortable.

He didn’t really know what was going on with her, but when she started, she had no phone, no spare clothes, and she was hurt–she looked like a helpless little girl.

Even though he knew these people were after Tracy, he tried to protect her, hiding her in the back kitchen and telling the troublemakers she’d been fired. But they kept coming back every day.

He was just an ordinary guy. He couldn’t afford to anger these obviously powerful people.

Tracy noticed the boss struggling and looked down.

He was a good man; he didn’t deserve to be dragged into her mess.

She finally spoke up. “Boss, I quit …”

“You didn’t do anything wrong. Why would you quit?”

Right then, Chris appeared with two big, tough bodyguards, like a hero arriving to save the day.

The troublemakers who had been so bold before suddenly lost their nerve. Bowing and forcing fake smiles, they said, “Mr. Woodward, what are you doing here? This is all a misunderstanding. We were just joking with the girl.”

“Take your misunderstanding to the police,” Chris said flatly, clearly not buying it.

Then he told his guards, “Take these people to the station. And if anyone tries to bail them out, that means they’re going against my family.”

The troublemakers, who had acted so tough, started crying and confessing as the

The loud scene had already grabbed the attention of customers and passersby. When the troublemakers were thrown out, everyone looked at Chris, standing tall and confident.

Several girls whispered excitedly, “He’s so handsome,” “He makes me feel safe,” and stuff like that.

Chris didn’t even notice the attention. He turned to Tracy.

His cold eyes softened. “Ms. Yarwood, are you okay?”

Seeing his caring face, Tracy couldn’t help but give a small smile.

Looking at his gentle worry, the excited whispers around them, and the bullies who’d been chased off–it felt just like one of those classic hero–saving–the–girl scenes from a novel.

If it had been two years ago, or back when she first arrived at the Angelic Etiquette Academy, Tracy might’ve been so grateful for Chris’s help that she’d trust and lean on him.

But now, she just thought it was ridiculous.

She’d seen these childish, boring tricks way too many times at the Angelic Etiquette Academy.

Every time, they reminded her how much it hurt to get fooled.

Chris noticed her slight smile and smiled even softer. “Don’t worry. With me around, no one will mess with you.”

The girls nearby let out quiet cheers, trying not to get too loud.

Tracy nodded smoothly. “With you here, I’m sure they won’t cause trouble again.”

And those people really did stop coming back. But Chris kept showing up at the restaurant every day.

Since Tracy worked in the back kitchen and he couldn’t get in, he started driving her to and from work himself.

Tracy never said no. Every time, she thanked Chris and even smiled at him.

It seemed like, because of that earlier “hero saves the girl” moment, she’d actually started to trust and like Chris.
