Chapter 399 Is This Your Explanation?
It had been too long since I heard that voice. For a few seconds, I was in a daze, a wave of sour
bitterness surged in my heart, pressing against my throat, causing a severe sour pain. I had a lot to
say, but in the end, I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and said, “It’s me, Walter, let’s
meet!”
“Good!”
I gave the address that Ezra had given me, hung up the phone, and felt a tightness in my chest.
The address Ezra chose was in a clubhouse in the suburbs. After I got out of the car, I saw Ezra
following me and couldn’t help but frown at him.
He raised an eyebrow, saying directly. “What? Don’t want me to follow?”
I remained silent, coldly saying, “As you wish.”
After speaking, I went straight into the club. As soon as I entered, I saw a familiar figure standing at the
door. I hadn’t seen him for a few days, and he looked much more haggard. His handsome face was
unshaven, and he looked somewhat tired.
Seeing him, I almost didn’t think twice before I wanted to run towards him. However, the next second, I
was pulled back by a strong hand. Ezra held me in his arms, his large hand on my waist, whispering in
my car, “Tabatha, you’re supposed to be with me. If you’re so eager to throw yourself into someone
else’s arms, I won’t be happy.”
I stiffened, watching Walter approach me from the doorway. The

moment he saw Ezra holding me, his face grew even colder.
Our eyes met, my heart ached terribly, but I still had to pretend as if nothing was wrong and walk
towards him. Looking at him, I forced a smile and said, “Walter, long time no see.”
He looked at me, the gloom in his dark eyes almost enough to drown a person. I thought he would
question me about why I had suddenly become so close to Ezra.
But he didn’t say a word, suddenly yanked me away from Ezra’s arms, and then almost unhesitatingly
swung his fist at Ezra.
Ezra hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to fight back. The two men, without uttering a word,
started fighting as soon as they met. In no time, the people brought by Ezra surrounded them, and the
bodyguards of the Hinton family also swarmed around the club.
Seeing that so many people were about to start fighting each other, I quickly spoke up, “Nobody NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
move!”
The people on both sides had stopped, but Walter and Ezra seemed to have no intention of stopping.
They were going back and forth, and in no time, their faces and bodies were all bruised.
After all, Ezra was injured, and it didn’t take long for him to be almost pinned down and rubbed against
the ground by Walter. Naturally, I enjoyed such a scene. If possible, I wished that Ezra could be beaten
to death right there. But I knew he wouldn’t die, and he would even bite Walter because of this.
I pulled Walter away, gripping him tightly and shouting, “Enough!”
Walter vented his anger, casting a cold glance at Ezra on the ground, but he didn’t hit him again.
Ezra had been hit hard, but he didn’t seem that angry. He just looked at

me with his dark eyes, full of meaning. I knew what he meant, and it made me feel sick inside, but I still
let go of Walter to help him.
My wrist was suddenly grabbed by Walter. Seeing that I was about to help, he frowned, his eyes full of
confusion, “Tabatha, what are you doing?”
Looking at him, I had a thousand words to say, but in the end, I just silently pushed away his hand that
was holding mine, walked towards Ezra, and helped him up.
Looking at me, Walter’s brows furrowed. I knew he wanted to say something. After being out of touch
for so many days, I had a lot to say to him, and naturally, he had a lot to say to me as well.
Taking a breath, I looked at Ezra and said, “I will talk to him alone.” This was not a question, nor was it
secking an opinion, but announcing my decision to him.
Ezra frowned, his face, covered in bruises, full of warning. Knowing what he wanted to say, I spoke up,
“I know what to do. If you want to leave River City as soon as possible, let me talk to him.”
He slightly narrowed his dark pupils and said, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”
After speaking, he gave Walter a mocking glance and turned to leave.
Incidentally, the people around him were also removed.
In the club.
I sat across from Walter, looking at his bruised face, I opened my mouth and said, “Put some ice on it.”
He remained silent, just staring at me, and said, “Tabatha, aren’t you going to tell me what exactly
happened these past few days? What’s the

story behind Captain Lucas’s death? Why did you suddenly go off the grid?”
Looking at him, I was much calmer at this moment. I opened my mouth and said. “Didn’t you see
everything? I was with Daniel, my phone was out of battery, and I was too lazy to charge it. As for
Captain Lucas’s death, the police should have told you everything. I don’t know the specific situation.”
He looked at me, his brows furrowed, “Is this your explanation?”
