Chapter 169: 169 Bullied by That Weird Man

"Did we?" Lisa replied as if she didn't care. She continued, "He should have asked if we drink or not. Anyone polite would have asked! I noticed his suit too; it was all threads… he is just pretending to be professional, but he failed. And, if he wanted to give you food, he shouldn’t have used his fork and knife. I still feel sick just thinking of it!”

“You have great observation skills!” Kate chuckled.

"After all, I changed from having the leading role to supporting," Lisa smiled and calmly said, "I planned to meet him, have a meal, and then text that I didn't see it being a good match after I got home. However, he made me feel uncomfortable at first sight, so I didn't want to wait."

“Let’s just pretend it never happened. We can get something to eat before you need to talk to your mother.”

"Oh, no! I forgot about having to face my stubborn mom!"

After they had dinner and said goodbye, Kate planned to take a taxi to see Joseph. She didn't want to trouble him, so she was just going to call on her way. As she waited, she heard someone call out, "Ms. Green?"

Kate turned to see Dave Hughes walking toward her. She hadn't expected to see him again; she frowned but politely said, "Mr. Hughes, what a coincidence!"

"Ms. Green, can I offer you a ride home? I would like to visit your mother anyway.”

"It's late now; I can get a taxi home. Plus, my mother goes to bed early so she would be asleep by now. You can visit her…"

"Ms. Smith. You are such a wonderful actress!” Dave suddenly interrupted Kate, and his expression became angry, “Do you think you have the right to lie to me? You must be curious about how I found out!”

He pulled out his phone and showed Kate the screen, "You are a public figure, and there are a lot of photos on the internet. How long did you think it would be before I found out?"

Neither Lisa nor Kate thought that their true identities would be discovered. Kate quickly apologized, “Mr. Hughes, we are sorry, but our intention was only to cope with the blind date. We weren’t trying to upset or insult you, but…”

"Don't try to fix the situation with excuses. I remember every word both of you said to me," Dave continued to threaten her, "Will you go to see Mrs. Green with me to explain this matter or compensate me for my loss? Or should I just post your shameless behavior online?"

"How much compensation do you want?" She couldn't let this man go to see Lisa's mom. Otherwise, Lisa would be blamed and scolded by her.

"Compensation?" Dave sneered, "You cannot afford the cost of what you have done to me!”

"Stop talking nonsense! Are we going to see Lisa’s mother or not?" Dave lost all patience.

"No!" Kate bluntly stated, "We have apologized for it and..."

Before Kate finished speaking, Dave slapped her and cursed furiously, "You

bitch! Even if I got you drunk, it is my right as a man. Don’t you know how poor Lisa’s family is? Do you think that she is rich just because she is your friend? Stop dreaming! She will never have money without marrying an old man!”

Facing the crazy man in front of her, Kate looked at the traffic on the street and thought it would be best to call Joseph. She could not handle listening to Dave's insults, but she did regret not recording him when he admitted to having bad intentions toward her and Lisa. If she had, she could use it as evidence when he tried to make trouble for Lisa and her family.

Kate tried to call Joseph, but Mr. Hughes slapped her hand, and she dropped her phone. When she bent over to pick it up, he attacked and knocked her to the ground then stomped on her hand. Her hand was throbbing, and she was in horrible pain, but she tried not to let him see her anguish.

Dave stood over her and snapped, “You want to call for help? You need to escape from my control first!”

He squatted down and pinched her cheek, “I can let you go and forget this matter if you…” He looked around and then whispered in her ear, “Sleep with me!”

A wave of nausea hit Kate; she wasn't sure if it was from the pain in her hand or the offer Dave made. As he leaned in toward her again, Kate punched him in the throat, then struggled to stand up and yell for help as she ran.

A few people were walking across the street, and Kate immediately ran to them. Dave quickly grabbed Kate's phone and turned to leave before he was caught. When she was safe, Kate decided to take a taxi to Joseph's home; he had to be worried.

The man with the sunglasses had been hiding in his car nearby and saw the entire situation. He was so angry that he slammed his fist into the steering wheel and cursed, “Useless!”

Lisa had called Joseph to see if Kate had arrived because she wasn't answering her phone. Joseph also tried to call her, and after half an hour, he called Lisa again.

"Are you sure Kate said she would come here?" He sounded worried.

"I am sure," Lisa looked at the time, "She was getting a taxi a while ago, and so she should be there by now."

Lisa's words made Joseph feel even more distraught. He hung up on Lisa and called Daisy, but she also said that Kate hadn't returned. He couldn't sit around waiting, and so he grabbed his car keys to go look for her.

In a taxi, Kate touched her swollen face and wondered how angry Joseph was going to be when he found out what happened. Lisa was right; it all seemed like a movie. As she laid her head back, the taxi suddenly slammed on its brakes.
