Chapter 1620:
“Waldo, you are a lawyer. Do you not understand what it means to hit someone?” Jolene’s voice rang out, cold
and clipped, simmering with a strange mix of fury and frustration. “I am talking to you! Answer me!”
A low scoff followed, bitter and defiant. “Jolene, do you really not know why | did it?”
Waldo’s voice cut through the tension like a blade. Had he not seen her being harassed, would he have charged
in like that—without a word—and socked the guy in the face?
He had thrown himself into the middle of it, taken the hits like a fool, and now she was standing there, yelling at
him? Women truly had hearts carved from stone.
They walked in silence, tension hanging in the air like a thick fog. Then, just a few steps ahead, Corrine
appeared, her presence cutting through the atmosphere. Waldo froze in his tracks. Guilt and panic flickered
behind his glasses like candlelight in a storm.
“What are you doing here?” His voice cracked slightly, and he instinctively raised a hand to shield the cut at the
corner of his mouth.

Her eyes swept over him, taking in the bruises blooming across his skin, the cracked lens of his glasses barely
hanging on.
So, he really had gone all in.
She knew Waldo well. When he was younger, even the tiniest scrape would send him into tic fits. The idea
of him picking a fight on his own? Unthinkable—unless there had been a reason.
Her gaze shifted to Jolene. “Tellwhat happened.”
Jolene’s expression faltered. Her fingers found their way to her short hair, tucking a strand behind her ear as she
mumbled, “He saw screep botheringand... well, he decided to step in. That's how he ended up like
this.”
But it hadn't been a random encounter. Jolene had shown up at the bar tonight with a plan. Her aim had been
clear—to lure that lecherous man into noticing her.
Everything had been calculated. Everything under control. Until Waldo, in his usual lack of timing, stormed in and
threw a punch without warning.
The man had been stunned at first. Caught off guard. But once he snapped out of it, the tide turned quickly.
Waldo had no chance.
Still, maybe out of sheer stubborn pride—or the foolish instinct men sometimes mistook for bravery—Waldo held
his ground. He clenched his jaw and fought, even though he clearly had no hope of winning.
Someone in the bar must have recognized Waldo. Panic spread fast. Fearing the fight would spiral, they called
the police.
By the tthe authorities arrived
and pried them apart, Jolene had

At that, both Waldo and Jolene turned crimson.
