I Will Take The me
“Ms. Young!” Joan hurried to her side.
“Shh, don’t say anything. Listen to what I have to say,” Delh said, holding Joan’s hands in hers.
Then, she continued impassively, “I’m sorry, everyone. I was the one who sold these flowers, so I’ll
bear full responsibility.”
The middle-aged woman looked at Joan and then at Delh awkwardly. “My daughter said it was Joan
who sold her the flowers.”
Her goal was to get Joan arrested, so she would definitely not let anyone disrupt her n.
“The flowers were wrapped by me. Your daughter must have remembered it wrongly,” Delh insisted.
Her persistence shocked Joan.
“We want to check the surveince footage!” the young man yelled, displeased.
“I’m sorry. We’ve just started this business, so we haven’t had the time to install a surveince camera
yet.” Delh was grateful that they did not have the security camera at the moment. Otherwise, her lie
would have been exposed.
As those people started to discuss among themselves, Delh crept closer to Joan and whispered, “I’ll
take the me first while you investigate the truth.”
Joan understood her instantly.
Just then, police came in and said to Delh, “Come along with us to the police station.”
Delh was then detained there.
The person who was supposed to be at the police station was Joan. However, the poisoned customer
fell into aa suddenly, so there was no one who could point out the person who sold the flowers.
Moreover, there was indeed no security camera in the store, so Delh took the me to give Joan the
time to find out the truth.
Meanwhile, Larry still had his hands full with work abroad, so he had not known about what happened
to Joan back in Chanaea until Caspian gave him a call.
“Larry, when will you be back?” Caspian sounded anxious.
“What’s wrong?” he questioned solemnly, having a bad feeling about it.
“Joan and Ms. Young are in trouble.” There was a hint of anxiousness in Caspian’s voice. “A customer
was poisoned after buying the flowers from their shop.”
Poisoned? Larry was stunned for a moment before grabbing his jacket and running out of the hotel. He
continued to listen to the information given by Caspian while giving his assistant a call to ask her to
book the earliest flight back immediately.
The next day, he hopped on a flight and went back to Chanaea.
Once news about the poisonous flowers spread, people started to show up and stir up trouble in the
shop the next day, hindering Joan’s business. Seeing that she could not handle them by herself, she
decided to close the shop early. However, before she could close the door,motion happened once
again.
Bang!
Someone kicked the door opened, and a few shady-looking men set foot in the store.
“So, you’re Joan Watts? What a jinx!”
“Yeah. Unscrupulous businessperson like you should be struck by lightning.”
“That’s right. She looks like a good person, but is in fact selling poisonous flowers!”
They roamed around the store and started to chastise her.
Despite their criticism, Joan remained silent and took a deep breath, holding her temper. After all, the
poisoning case had not been resolved yet, so she had no words to defend herself.
Bang! Thud!
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Seeing that she was ignoring them, a few youngsters proceeded to m her potted nts onto the
ground.
Shortly, the clean floor became a mess, strewn with soil and broken pieces of flowerpots.
Joan’s expression gradually turned cold as they continued to wreck the store. “What exactly do you
want from me?”
“We need to teach corrupted businessperson like you a lesson! Why are you opening your shop when
all you sell are poisonous products? We should destroy your shop to prevent more casualties!”
What followed after were their incessant mockery and insults. Their strings of jeers felt like needles
stabbing into Joan’s heart.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the entrance. “What are you guys doing?”
It’s Larry! At that very moment, tion filled her entire being as his presence was more than enough
support that she needed right now.
“Get lost!” Larry yelled, glowering at those troublemakers.
“Who the hell are you? Mind your own business!” one of them yelled back arrogantly, pointing at Larry.
This is the first time I see someone who dares to defy me.
Larry strode to Joan’s side and ced his hand firmly on her waist, pulling her in. “What? Do I need to
call my people to chase you out of here?”
