Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 147

Chapter 147 

These words gave her goosebumps and her eyes widened. She almost thought that Calvert Snider had been possessed. She sized him up suspiciously. “Are you… What’s your sister’s name?” 

Suddenly, he revealed a rare smile. “I didn’t know you’d be afraid 

Are you having a fever?” Ash really felt that the man in front of her was not the one she knew. 

Suddenly, someone said, “Wow, they’re so compatible. What an eye–catching scene.” 

Ash only came back to her senses when she heard the admiration and envy of the passers–by behind her. She noticed her posture with Calvert and instantly pushed him away when her face turned red. 

Calvert caught a glimpse of her uncomfortable behavior. It was rare to see her like this. 

“Why are you here now? Don’t say that it’s for me. You’re a domineering CEO, and you shouldn’t say these kind of corny words. It’s quite cheesy and even a little disgusting.” Ash’s ridicule left zero respect for Calvert. 

However, Calvert did not show any dissatisfaction at all. He only gave a very calm “okay” and glanced at her indifferently. “Then why did you blush just now?” 

Cursing him inwardly, Ash glared at him unhappily. “I was born with rosy cheeks. Don’t think too much about it. Get over yourself. Tsk!” 

After saying that, Ash could not be bothered to argue with him. She walked inside first. Calvert, who was behind her, had a gentle expression on his aloof face. 

Ash walked forward and found a group of people surrounding someone. In the middle was a middle–aged man who was shouting, “Why? Why did you develop the game? It’s all your fault! You only thought about benefits and caused us so much trouble. You caused my family to be destroyed! 

“My son spent all our family’s savings playing games. Now, he jumped down from a building and is still lying in the hospital. It’s all your fault. In order to earn money, you don’t care about anything! You’ve earned lots of money, but what happened to my son? What can he do now? 

“My wife has been trying to commit suicide until now. She was hospitalized yesterday. Our family is done for. We’re done for! My son is going to be an adult this year!” 

Ash roughly understood what had happened. It was something that the game company often encountered. Those who played games were unrestrained. Not only were they addicted to games, but they also kept spending money on those games. 

The gaming company had actually issued a relevant policy to prevent gamers from getting addicted, but these people were too crazy. They could always find a way to crack it. 

“You can’t blame us for that. It’s your son’s fault for not restraining himself. Besides, minors can file a complaint and ask for refunds. Can you contact the game company and ask them to refund the money?” someone in the crowd complained and gave a solution. 

However, not only did these words not appease the man, but they also agitated him. “Refunds? Do you know what they said? They said that we deserved it and we spent the money on our own accord. They also said that it has nothing to do with them and told me to feel free to sue them?” 

Someone said, “Then go ahead and sue them. What’s with all the fuss here?” 

Another one said, “That’s right. We didn’t do it. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. You have to

go to the corresponding person” 

Someone else said. “That’s right. How did this man get in? Where are the security guards?” 

Some people in the crowd began to take the lead and clamor. From the perspective of a bystander, no one was willing to empathize. 

Ash frowned slightly. She felt that these people’s words were too unpleasant. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. 

Someone behind her said, “Shut up, all of you!”
