Chapter 224 You’re the One With a Useless Brain

This sudden move was out of everyone’s expectations.

Even the police officers who were holding him didn’t know how to handle the situation. After all, he neither wounded anyone with violence nor committed suicide; all he did was merely say something.

Nonetheless, the crowd went into an uproar. They started rushing toward Courtney like maniacs.

“I saw her ID card earlier. She’s Courtney Hunter, the second daughter of Lucian Hunter. Catch her and get her to pay us the money,” added the man desperately. He was trying to add fuel to the fire.

Things started to go haywire.

In the meantime, Courtney was standing in the middle of the crowd. Subconsciously, the young firefighter beside her quickly protected her with his arms. Yet, he couldn’t keep her away from the pulling, cursing, and kicks that came from every direction.

“Get her. Pay back the money.”

“Give me back my money…”

Demands and insults were the only things that were audible.

Just when the head of the police team was trying to get reinforcement, a row of black Porsche came to a halt by the side of the street in a neat fashion. Even the sound of their brakes was surprisingly consistent.

Dozens of muscular men got out of the cars. Before the police officers could return to their senses, those men separated the crowd, creating a pathway.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes walked down the pathway at a fast pace. When he emerged once again, he was carrying the woman, who was being attacked by the crowd, in his arms.

Courtney did not have the chance to witness the miraculous arrival of her savior. Before she was rescued by him, she was hit by a blunt object thrown by someone and fainted.

By the time she woke up, it was already late at night.

The decoration of the room was very laid-back, yet there were luxurious details. On the bedside table, someone lit up a sandalwood candle that had a soothing effect, calming whoever was there.
