Chapter 54 A Protector

When he left, Essie waited for a bit to make sure he was out of sight before she took out the bank card hidden in the suitcase.

This was the bank card her real father gave her so she would have some ready money she could use if she ever needed it for something. Lucy had handed it to her before she came home.

Since Essie was saving this bank card only for emergencies, she never really checked how much was in there and she didn’t even ask. She just needed enough so she could pay for the down payment herself to save Zac from all the trouble.

If she didn’t need it this much, she wouldn’t even think about touching the bank card. All she wanted was to give it back to him by the time she finally became successful.

She stopped and hesitated for a bit, but knowing this was an emergency, she just had to borrow the money. After all, she focused on getting Zac out of the trap he had fallen into.

With the bank card in her purse, she finally made her way to Jade Pearl Pub, where Zac said he would be hanging out with a friend. She was determined to take him by surprise. "I will make this right," she uttered to herself, trying to build up some confidence.

Jade Pearl Pub was one of the most special nightclubs in Yang City. It seemed kind of exclusive since it gave the impression that most rich people frequented this pub.

Loud music and vivid lights welcomed her even before she stepped inside. She had a hard time searching for Zac since there was a sea of people dancing and roaming in the halls, while some just stayed in their booths. As though she felt his presence, she finally found Zac and that rich woman in a dim corner.

Seeing them together, Essie then walked towards the DJ stage. His eyes were fixed on the turntable as he played some beats, and his other hand clasped his headphones on his ears.

n. Please, I hope I’m not too late.’ She couldn’t stop thinking and worrying until he said something.

Despite the sea of people watching them, he finally pulled her to his chest and enveloped her in a tight embrace. He rested his head on hers, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Zac held her tight and didn’t want to let her go. If he needed to scream and shout that Essie was his wife and no one could take her away, he would.

The audience couldn’t help but burst into cheers and applause again, raising their glasses to the ones who took the spotlight.

Essie wrapped her arms around his neck and looked deep into his eyes, as though marking her territory and trying to scare off anyone who tried to snatch him away from her.

Moments later, the chaos died down, and the two of them went back to their seats. Their eyes were glistening and full of indescribable feelings.

Essie felt annoyed as she saw the lady hanging out with Zac. She stood before Zac and spoke to her face, "Don’t even think about trying to trick him. He’s my husband. Whatever he owes you, I’ll pay you back completely. Just back off." Just then, she smacked the bank card on the table and crossed her arms, looking very intimidating.
