Her Majesty novel Chapter 42

The car came to a screeching halt.

Sabina hit me in the chest with one elbow. I only felt a numbness on the body, and then a cold hand grasped my throat, like iron pincers pinching me breathless.

I had to let go of my hand. Sabina, who had always been expressionless, flushed. She jumped on the cover of the car, grabbed my collar, pulled me out of the car and punched me in the stomach.

I immediately grabbed my stomach and ran aside to vomit.

The wine emptied, the cold wind blew, and I recovered some sense of mind. I turned my head and found Sabina was slowly coming towards me holding a terrible knife.

The cold sweat came out, I waved hands and kept explaining, “Don't come over, don't come over, I was drunk, Sorry, I am sorry."

Sabina almost rushed to my front in a moment, the sharp knife had been put on my neck, and a gentle pull would make me a corpse.

However, Sabina did not move but looked at me coldly, suddenly burst out a word, “You love that woman very much. Spare your life.”

Then she lifted her left hand and cut hard on my neck, my eyes felt black, and then I felt to the ground.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the next morning, I rubbed my neck, climbed up and walked outside. I found Ben was playing cards with a few friends.

He smiled at me and said, "You wake up, Justin. How did the conversation go last night?"

At the thought of the negotiations last night, I felt upset. I waved at Ben and said, “Come to my room, I will tell you."

I told things happened last night to Ben. Ben suddenly frowned. When I said I agreed to release Housin, he suddenly stood up, bulging eyes, he asked me, “Are you crazy, you release Grace’s enemy. Don't you want to give her revenge?"

I distressed, grabbed my hair and said, “I have no way out. If I did not agree to release Housin, there would be a negotiation. That was their purpose. What could I do?

Ben was angry, kicked on the wall, pointed at my nose and asked, “So you betrayed Grace just for money?"

I did not know why I had not been as painful as last night. I said to Ben calmly, “I certainly will not let go of Housin this bastard, including John, I will not let go. But now we have to hold our ground here and when we are stronger than them. I will make sure that both of them pay us back with interest."

Ben turned a few circles in front of me out of fidgety, huffed and said, “Well, I believe you. Anyway you will always be my friend. I support all your decisions."

A warm current was in my heart, I looked up and said sincerely, “Thank you."

Ben waved his hand and walked out. But I dug out from under the pillow a picture of Grace. I had a tearing drop on it.

Two days later, I received a phone call from the mayor's secretary, who said that Mayor Chang would like to invite me to dinner at his home this afternoon.

I couldn't help but feel a little pleased that, generally speaking, if such a big man asked you to his house for dinner, he treated you as a family, or at least he trust you.

I told Ben, dressed up and came to Mayor Chang's home with expensive presents.

Mayor Chang's home was inside an ordinary community unexpectedly. It was a small house with three rooms.

Mrs. Chang was very warm to me and said that if I hadn't saved her life, she would not be able to stand here. She poured water for me and washed some apples for me. I quickly said, “No, Madam, it is ok.”

Mayor Chang said to me with a gentle face, “Let her go, she cannot be restless. Last time you saved her, she said every day that a good man like you is rare, and ask me to thank you. So, I'd like to invite you over for dinner today and tell you something."

I ventured to say, “Mayor, what is it? Can you tell me a little first?"

Mayor Chang smiled, “Don't worry, don't worry, we will talk while eating."

I said yes, but I was very curious about what Mayor Chang would tell me in the end. Could it be the business district project? But it was unnecessary to make it so mysterious.

Finally we sat at the dinner table, Mayor Chang was chatting with us. Mrs. Chang asked me about my age, marriage and parents.

I answered one by one with a smile on my face, and Mayor Chang looked unfazed.

Seeing the table almost empty, I could not help asking, “Mayor, what do you want to tell me?"

The mayor and his wife looked at each other and laughed at the same time, and the mayor said to his wife, "Old lady, I'd rather you do it. It suits you better."

Mrs. Chang looked at me, and then slowly said, “Justin, you have saved my life, and my husband praised you, said that you can see the overall situation and your future is sure to be promising. We had a son, but a car accident took his life eight years ago, and after that I had a heart attack. The first time I saw you, I thought we were close."

"So I have discussed with my husband that I want you to be our god son. I wonder if you are willing to be our god son."

My body shook and I couldn't believe that such a good thing had happened to me. What did the she mean? That meant that I would be closest man to the mayor, and I would have a strongest support behind my back that no one dare to bully me.

I could not help glancing at the mayor. His usually expressionless face was now a little excited, and Mrs. Chang looked at me eagerly, waiting for my answer.

I took a deep breath and nodded heavily and said, “Thanks to your love. From now on you will treat me as your own son. I will take care of you."

“Good, good boy!” Mrs. Chang was so excited that she shed tears.

Mayor Chang laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, I did not expect that I got a son at an old age, which is god's favor to me. Justin, you will go with me to give incense in Xiang Mountain next week, and we will make a promise in front of the Buddha.”

I said respectfully, “Ok.”

“Well, that's settled. You go with me to my study, and I'll tell you a few things.” said Mayor Chang, and he got up and went to the study.
