Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 44 What I Beg Your Pardon

Jim stirred for a while. When he was about to insert the plug, he suddenly heard his sister calling his name.

He stopped and glanced back.

Illusion?

He seemed to hear her sister's voice.

"Ah!"

This time, he heard the words clearly.

His sister seemed to be experiencing something terrible.

Throwing the thing in his hand, Jim strode forward and carefully identified the source of the sound.

It seemed to be a shelter in front of them.

The voice gradually lowered, but as long as he listened carefully, he could still hear it.

"Sister!"

Shouted Jim. He barged into the shelter under the risk of being scolded by the workers in the construction site.

The first one was empty.

Then he opened the door of the second one and saw a man squatting and pressing something down. A man was with his back to him. They seemed to be doing something.

"Hmm!"

Nicole also heard Jim's shout, but she was unable to speak because her mouth was covered.

She tried her best to make only the faint sound.

However, this one sound was enough. Jim and Nicole grew up together and were very familiar with each other. It only took one second for him to confirm that his sister was there.

He couldn't think of anything else. He grabbed the shovels outside the shelter and rushed towards the two men.

"Bastard! You beasts! " His eyes became red with anger, so he hit the two men with the shovels.

They got hit for several times. As soon as they turned their heads, they immediately released Nicole and rushed out of the shelter, holding their heads.

Jim tried to catch them with his shovel, but when he heard Nicole crying, he immediately turned around and returned to the shelter.

"Sis, are you all right?"

"Jim! Jim! " Nicole cried and threw herself into his arms.

Since Jim came very fast, and Nicole struggled as hard as she could, the two did not really harm her.

But Nicole was still frightened.

Since she was lack of oxygen and crying several times, Jim had to help her to breathe smoothly.

After a while, Nicole calmed down a little bit. She released her emotion and leaned on Jim's shoulder, gasping for air.

"Jim, let's go home."

Nicole stared at his chin and sobbed.

"Sister, they bullied you. I'm going to fight with them." Jim said through gritted teeth, eyes filled with hatred.

Nicole shook her head and said, "No. they look like hooligans. I guess they have done such kind of things for several times. You can't defeat them."

Jim said angrily. "Can we just let it go? If I didn't hear you and come here, you would... "

"I know, of course I won't give up so easily. Let's go out and call the police." After all, Nicole had a rich experience in society, so she said, "if we make trouble here, I guess we'll suffer a lot."

"All right." Jim nodded reluctantly and helped Nicole up. Then they left the construction site. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

In fact, it was improper for Jim to work here in person, because there was no contract or agreement. Every day, he could only get one day's salary after finishing his work, and they would not care about it even if he left the company. In this case, there was nothing to worry about.

They went to the nearest police station and told the police what happened just now.

The police said lightly that they would investigate and sent them away.

Jim wanted to defend himself, but Nicole stopped him.

"It's no use."

"But..."

"Jim, I didn't get hurt anyway. Forget it. It's not good for you if people know that you work here."

Jim bit his lower lip and said stubbornly, "I don't care!"

Nicole sighed, "but I do care. I came here today in order to get you out of here. You can't ruin your future."

"…… I'm sorry, sister. " Staring at Nicole for a while, Jim lowered his head in silence.

He was full of guilt.

He thought to himself, 'if I didn't offend that old woman, my sister wouldn't have borrowed that much money. If I hadn't come here to work, my sister wouldn't have suffered such a disgusting thing.

It was all my fault!'

"Jim, come back with me and study hard at school, okay?" Nicole held his hand and asked softly.

Jim lowered his head, without saying a word.

Nicole continued, "Jim, I know you want to help me and our family, but you know what? For me, the best thing is that you can study hard and get healthy."

"I was still a mischievous girl at your age. You are great. Thank you very much, Jim."

"You should study hard, go to a good college and do a further education. Let me do something for you, okay?"

Under the guidance of Nicole, Jim finally nodded.

"Sister, I will study hard after I go back."

"Good boy."

Although Nicole was frightened, but she felt relieved as her brother finally listened to her.

Ten minutes later, Jacob got a phone call.

"What did you say?"

Jacob, who was in a meeting in the conference room, furrowed his eyebrows, unplugged his wireless headset and strode out of the conference room.

The meeting room was suddenly in a mess. Since this young president took over the company, they had not seen such an angry and flustered expression on his face.

What happened?
