Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 149

Chapter 149 

Calvert quickly noticed that and asked, “What do you want me to do? I will play along” 

Find a rope and tie up your hands and feet. Otherwise, how can I be sure that you won’t ambush me and play tricks when you come to me? Rich people like you are the most scheming.” The person holding the knife still had some rationality in 

him. 

Calvert nodded and agreed without any hesitation. Soon, he found a rope and got someone to help tie him up. He jumped to the side of the person holding the knife in an extremely dramatic manner. Ash felt that this scene was funny and sad. 

The owner of the Snider Group, a big shot in Riverstone and even the entire country, was like a clown at someone’s mercy at 

this moment. 

“Is it okay now?” Calvert’s expression was still as calm as usual. Even so, his noble and aloof temperament did not decrease at 

all. 

The person holding the knife looked Calvert up and down again. He took a deep breath and held Calvert tightly with his free hand. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he let go of the knife and pushed Ash away. 

The gap between the push and pull gave Ash time. She did not even turn around and kicked backward. Then, she turned around swiftly and quickly and hit the wrist of the person holding the knife. Instantly, the knife fell to the ground. She kicked the knife far away and forcefully twisted the wrist of the attacker back. There was a crack and his wrist was dislocated. 

Suddenly, the man cried out in pain. Ash pushed him to the ground but did not continue to attack. She knew that these people were pitiful. If they were not forced into a corner, they would not have done this. 

Since that was the case, Ash did not need to be ruthless. She only needed to ensure that the attacker would not be able to do anything to hurt anyone for the time being. 

Ash came to Calvert and untied him. There was a concerned emotion in her tone. 

“Aren’t you usually extremely smart? I kept winking at you just now. How could you not understand what I mean? His mediocre martial arts can’t hurt me. You really didn’t have to take such a risk. What would happen to you if he had external help?” Ash’s voice was filled with worry. 

She untied the rope and straightened her body when she saw the worry on Calvert’s usually aloof face. His eyes were deep and charming. For a moment, he did not say anything. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently pressed it on her bleeding wound. 

His hand brushed lightly across her neck, and she shivered suddenly. Ash was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but more than that, she was at a loss. She reached out and pressed down on the handkerchief. “I can do it myself.” 

Suddenly, Calvert said, “I couldn’t risk it.” 

Ash was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was answering her question. Her heart skipped a beat. What he said was intriguing. 

Ash said, “Mr. Snider, what you’re saying makes it sound like we’re really partners. Or are you really immersed in acting? It can’t be.” 

Ash looked down and sounded as if she was joking. However, only she knew that at this moment, her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest in the next second. 

“So in your opinion, what I did just now was superfluous?” Calvert’s mood suddenly turned bad, and his tone was a bit aggressive.
