“Haha! You’ve got quite the temper, huh? I like it.” The man took off his jacket and forcibly pounced on Elise. Elise was instantly filled with disgust, as if her stomach was churning. She kept struggling, but the other men came forward and pinned her down, so she couldn’t summon up her strength at all… Elise looked at the shabby roof above her head with her heart full of despair.

Alexander called out to Elise loudly, but the scene before him caused his eyes to redden with rage. He strode forward and sent the man on top of Elise flying with a kick. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he took off his suit jacket and draped it on her. As Elise looked at the man before her through a mist of tears, feelings of grievance welled up inside her, and tears gushed from her eyes. Alexander’s heart ached terribly when he saw her like this.

It didn’t take long before her tears formed a wet patch on his chest. “There, now. Nothing’s gonna happen since I’m here for you.” Elise slowly slipped out of Alexander’s arms while looking at him through a mist of tears. “Do you know I really was in despair at that moment? I was
