SWNOVELS Chapter 7
Chapter 7 A Small World
The constantly buzzing sound suddenly stopped, and a video call request popped up.
Yves hung up immediately, and before the other party called again, he directly clicked on the other party’s name and blocked him.
After doing all that, Yves went to wash
up briefly.
After washing up, Yves changed into clean clothes. He heard a scream from downstairs as he wanted to leave his room.
“What are you doing? Let go!” Ashley’s scream suddenly came from downstairs.
Yves was shocked, pushed open the door, and walked downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he saw a man pinned Ashley at the inn counter while another man was rummaging around on the counter.
There was a black Mercedes parked at the door of the inn.
“Stop!” Yves frowned and shouted. At the same time, he went up and pulled away the person who was holding Ashley. He hid Ashley behind him and said, “What do you want?”
The man staggered for a few steps after being pushed away. He steadied himself, looked at Yves while raising his brow, and said, “Go away! It has nothing to do with you?”
The man who was searching in the drawer also raised his head. He wore a vest, revealing his tattooed fat arms, looking like a hooligan.
“Brat! Don’t meddle in other people’s business!” He said with a sullen face, “You can’t do anything either!”
“What if I insist?” Yves frowned.
He sighed inwardly simultaneously, “Grandpa, I’m afraid I have to go against my promise to you.” He promised his grandfather not to take the initiative to attack ordinary people.
Ashley was a kind girl. She took good care of him during the period when he stayed there, so he couldn’t watch her being bullied.
The strong man sneered, “You insisted? Fine, give me the money, then!”
“Huh?” Yves‘ brows furrowed.
“This girl’s parents owe our boss one million dollars. The interest is compounded, and now they owe more than four million dollars. You can give us the money, and I will leave immediately with it!” The strong man said disdainfully.
Yves’s frown deepened. The interest rate was too high.
“Yves?” At that moment, a voice sounded with confusion in his tone.
Yves turned his head in the direction of the sound, The door of the Mercedes opened, and a young man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties stepped out of it. He was in a suit and leather shoes, holding a cigarette.
“Haha, what a small world!” He took a long puff on his cigarette, walked into the room, sized him up, and said, “You stayed in this awful inn after you came to Haven City?”
The person coming was none other than Patrick.
Yves‘
eyes narrowed slightly.
He had no feelings for the Lewis family. As for Zoey, she was just a playmate in his childhood

memories.
He came because of his grandfather’s instructions to fulfill the engagement promise.
He had no objections if the Lewis family wanted to go against the promise.
However, they shouldn’t have done anything so cruelly.
He knew Patrick’s men had done that to him when he was left on the roadside yesterday. If Valentina hadn’t found him, it was hard to predict what would happen to him when he was blind without the white cane.
So his eyes turned cold, squinted, and looked at Patrick. “Is you?”
Patrick saw Yves‘ eyes and was shocked. “Hey! Aren’t you blind? Did you just pretend? Why is that? Do you want to win Zoey’s sympathy?”
“Patrick, who is this?” A person came to greet him and asked.
Patrick chuckled and said, “He is the guy I mentioned to you who has wishful thinking and wanted to marry Zoey. He is the man that I tricked him yesterday.”
The sidekick next to him pointed at Yves and said, “Hahaha! A man who lives in such a shabby place wanted to marry Ms. Lewis?! He must be crazy!”
A burst of laughter rang out in the inn.
Yves expression was calm. He looked at Patrick and said, “Aren’t you an e–commerce businessman?”
“There are many ways to make money. You’re just a country bumpkin, and you will never understand!” Patrick smiled sinisterly and continued, “Mr. Lewis fell into a coma because of your matter yesterday, and Zoey scolded me. I was planning to find expect to meet you here.”

you up. Yet, I didn’t
He threw the cigarette butt toward Yves and yelled at his sidekicks, “Listen up! Teach him a lesson and thrash him with all your might. If he is beaten to death, I will handle it for you!”
With that, Patrick folded his arms and stood beside them as if he were going to enjoy a good show Yves looked at Patrick with a trace of resentment in his eyes!

people sheered sinisterly and approached Yves…
“Tsk! Tsk! Mr. Taylor, you seemed so majestic!“Just when they were about to take action, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Yves looked toward the door and saw a beautiful, stunning woman with long hair and a slender figure. She wore a body–hugging dress that perfectly outlined her figure, revealing her fair and long legs.
She stood at the door, and a strong man with a beard stood behind her. “Ms. Simmons!” Patrick’s expression changed when he saw the woman. Valentina came to find Yves but didn’t expect to encounter such a scene.
“When you came to discuss business with me two days ago, you told me that you’re running an e–commerce business.” Valentina continued with a fake smile, “Why have you become a loan shark now? The Simmons family wouldn’t dare to cooperate with such an illegal person.”
Patrick’s expression changed again, and he hurriedly explained, “Ms. Simmons, it’s all a misunderstanding. This family owes me one million dollars. I can’t ask for the money back, so I asked these people to help.”
Valentina smiled again, “One million dollars turned out to be four million dollars, huh? It’s indeed not a loan shark, but an extortion! It seems you are a local thug Haven City with all–powerful, right, Mr. Taylor?”
Patrick became uneasy and broke into a cold sweat.
Those millions of dollars were nothing to him. He only wanted Valentina’s investment, which was a huge opportunity.
He wanted to explain something when Valentina looked at Yves and then at the others. She turned to look at Patrick again and said, “Look at the situation in the inn. It seems you are trying to beat up my friend, huh?”
“Huh?” Patrick was stunned and asked, “Ms. Simmons, your
“Hi, Mr. Collins!” Valentina smiled slightly at Yves.
friend is…”
When Patrick saw that, he was slightly stunned and thought, “Are Yves and Valentina friends? Is this real? Valentina is the eldest daughter of the Simmons family in Avalon City. How could she befriend with Yves?!”
Just when he was stunned, Valentina said calmly, “Slap him! How dare you touch my friend!”
The strong man with a beard behind Valentina came to Patrick, grabbed his neck with his left hand, raised his other hand high, and slapped hard.
“Pa!” A loud slap sounded.
Patrick was slapped hard, and there was burning pain on his face.
However, Valentina’s words just now kept ringing in his mind.
Yves… was her friend!
He always felt he had misheard..
Valentina’s background was strong. The Simmons family in Avalon City was incredibly wealthy and had countless assets.
