Love Began with the First Meeting

Edgar's heart bled to see her in pain. He glared at Brian and said, "Be careful, Mr. Long! She's hurt!"

His name seemed to shock everyone in the room. No one had expected the handsome young man to be the famous Brian Long of A City.

"Oh, really?" Brian asked as he held her tighter on purpose. She suddenly felt as if something was tangling on her back and she gasped harder.

"Brian Long, is this how you treat your woman?" Edgar angrily remarked.

Brian didn't answer. He simply lowered his head towards Molly and was enraged when all he saw was Edgar in her eyes. "Mol, am I good to you?" he asked in a cold voice, trying to conceal his anger.

In response, Molly flinched and looked into his dark eyes while biting her lips. How could he ask her something like that? All she felt near him was shame and fear, even more than what she had felt near Tyler. How could he be good to her? Without giving him an answer, Molly turned and stared at Edgar in distress, hoping that he wouldn't misunderstand their relationship. She wanted to explain everything but she couldn't.

Brian gave out a loud groan as he raised his head. "Mr. Mayor, why are you so concerned about my woman? What do you want from her?" he asked.

The cops were astonished to hear that, because they hadn't known Edgar's identity. The sheriff was especially taken aback as he had just ordered his being brought to the police station. For them, the entire situation was out of their hands. They didn't dare speak a word.

For Edgar, it wasn't surprising that Brian knew who he was. Clearly, he had done his research. Right now, seeing Molly suffer, he remarked, "Mr. Long, if you don't want your woman to die, I suggest you take her to the hospital first."

The sheriff seemed to come to himself, and after hearing what Edgar had said, tried to make up for what he had done, but Edgar waved it off.
