Chapter 40 Doubt
The two got out of the car together. Cassie pressed the ring secretly and sent the location to Cater.
A group of people is standing outside the car. At the moment, they are staring fiercely at them.
“You are Javen Smith?” A man with a scar on his face had a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw the cool-face Javen, he laughed sinisterly. “A poker face, you look like you need a lesson.”
A trace of vigilance appeared in Javen’s eyes. He calmed down and asked, “Who are you?”
“Who I am is not important. What’s important is that someone asked me to teach you a lesson!”
Javen stared at him and a cold light flashed in his eyes. “Do you know who I am?”
“Who doesn’t know about our Mr. Smith?” laughed the scar-faced man. “Mr. Smith is famous all over here. Of course I know!”
” You dare to offend the Smith family, are you tired of living?”
“Hey, don’t mention the Smith family to me. You are nothing. I’m not afraid at all!” The scar-faced man suddenly made an exaggerated expression, which was particularly funny.
Cassie said loudly, “They are just a group of losers. Why are you talking so much to them?”
“You call us losers?” The scar-faced man looked around and said sternly, “Go ahead and beat them to death! Let them know who is the real loser!”
Several men rushed forward. They swung their sticks wantonly while Cassie dodged to the side. At the same time, she delivered a kick to a man’s chest.
Javen was even more ruthless. He grabbed a man by the neck and threw him out. He kicked the man’s head with his right foot.
The two cooperated perfectly, like the most perfect partners.
It didn’t take long for these men to succumb to their attacks. They were all lying on the ground and wailing in anguish.
“Bah, useless.” The scar-faced man spat and waved his right hand. Dozens of strong men came out of the woods not far away.
It turned out that they had already laid in wait to plot against them…
Javen’s gaze turned cold and there was a hint of viciousness in it.
Dozens of strong men charged over once more. This time, there were even more of them. After a long time, Javen and Cassie felt as if they were running out of energy.
The scar-faced man saw that they had fought enough, so he smiled and pulled out a dagger, stabbing it at the nearest Cassie!
Cassie’s pupils contracted. In the next second, Javen directly reached out his hand, grabbed the dagger, and kicked the man away.
The pain came from Javen’s palm, and drops of blood fell to the ground. It was a ghastly and shocking sight.
Even the usually calm Javen couldn’t help but frown.
“Are you okay?” Cassie’s eyes widened. She really didn’t expect that Javen would reach out and grab the dagger at the most critical moment!
Javen shook his head. His face and lips were a bit pale because of losing too much blood.
Cassie turned around and looked at the scar-faced man who was wailing on the ground, her eyes cold.
“Cassie, we’re coming!”
Cater finally arrived with his men. Looking at the scene in front of him, he said coldly, “Arrest them all!”
The people behind him subdued those ruffians one by one.
Cater walked to Cassie and asked in a low voice, “Cassie, are you okay?”
Cassie shook her head and pointed at the bleeding Javen. She sounded worried as she said, “Javen was injured to protect me.”
Cater walked over to hold Javen. Looking at his badly mangled palm, Cater sucked in a breath of cold air.
Just how much courage did Javen need to grab the dagger without hesitation!
“I’ll send you to the hospital.”
Cater took them to the hospital and he paid the bill. Cassie took care of Javen, who was slightly confused.
A nurse bandaged his wounds and touched them from time to time. Cassie felt pain just by looking at him, but Javen didn’t even frown.
After the nurse finished bandaging him, she left. Cassie looked at his pale face and asked, “Javen, are you okay?”
Javen blinked his eyes and said, “Cassie, I have a question.”
Cassie paused as if she already knew what he wanted to ask.
“What’s the relationship between you and Cater?”
Why was it that every time something happened to her, Cater would arrive on time? Why did he have such an accurate location? Why did he accompany her to drink? Why did he call her Cassie? Why did he almost obey every word she said? As if he was her subordinate…
These questions lingered in Javen’s heart for a long time.
Cassie knew that Javen was sensitive and would realize this question sooner or later. But she didn’t expect that Javen would ask so directly.
“I have told you we’re just friends. We knew each other when we were abroad and often hung out together.”
At this moment, Cassie was still unwilling to tell the truth.
Javen said coldly, “Tell me, are you the president of the Blue Group?”
Cassie became nervous. She wanted to deny it, but Javen was too smart. In order to let him believe her, she smiled playfully.
“Ooops, you’ve discovered even this.”
When Javen saw her reaction, he suddenly didn’t know if his guess was correct.
“The president of the Blue Group worked without complaints as a small employee in your company. Don’t you feel honored, Mr. Smith?” Cassie shrugged. “Would you believe it if I told you?”
This was ironic but what she said made sense. There was indeed no reason for the president of the Blue Group to stay in his company.
Javen was still suspicious, lowering his voice, “I hope you aren’t lying to me.”
Cassie rolled her eyes. “Mr. Smith, don’t be too nervous. Can’t I be closer to my good friend?”
Thinking of how Cater looked so worried about Cassie, Javen suddenly felt uncomfortable and said unhappily, “You’re my fianceé, and you have a close relationship with another man. Do you think that’s appropriate?”
“What’s wrong? Are you jealous? Javen, don’t tell me you really want to marry me?”
Cassie laughed without any scruples. Looking at his serious expression, she found it very interesting.
Javen glanced at Cassie coldly. “Of course not.”
“Then Mr. Smith can’t interfere with my interpersonal relationships.”
Coincidentally, Cater returned, so Javen stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
Cater heard everything clearly. He held back his laughter and said to Cassie, “Cassie, I gotta go. You stay here and take care of Mr. Smith.”
Cassie understood his joke and glared at him. “Screw you.”
Cater mouthed “I understand” and left with a smile.
After Cater left, only Cassie and Javen stayed in the room.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go home.” Javen opened his eyes and said in a cold voice, “It’s very late.”
Cassie raised an eyebrow. “I’ll stay here and take care of you.”

Cassie sat down.
“After all, you injured your hand to save me. If I go home like this, won’t I have no conscience?” Cassie sat down and picked up the apple next to her. “Do you want to eat one? I’ll peel one for you.”
