Chapter 172
Seeing Arya's expression change, Zack thought she was afraid and laughed smugly. "You know that
now. Come with me."
As he spoke, Zack came up to catch Arya. Having learned from the last accident, he gripped her hands
tightly for a moment.
Arya dodged his outstretched hand and said with a cold face, "I won't follow..."
Before Arya could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a bang.
Joshua, who had been silent for a long time, saw that Zack was going to do something to Arya again.
He took the glass bottle on the table and smashed it at Zack's head.
Everyone in the room was stunned. They did not expect that he would suddenly do this.
Zack was in a daze after being hit. Warm fluid flowed down his nose, he reached out and touched it.
When he saw the blood on his hand, his eyes widened. "Blood..."
He leaned back and fainted.
"Boy, you want to die? How dare you fight to attack Young Master Zack?"
Leo was Zack's lackey. Now that Zack was unconscious, he had to stand up for him.
He glanced at the brothers behind him and roared, "Call the doctor!"
If Zack died, their good days would be over.
Zack was taken away by Leo and a few people, so they had no time to take revenge on Joshua for a
while.
Madam Swift patted her thigh. "You've created a big trouble..."
Arya's problem had not been solved. On top of this, Joshua just hit Zack. So Zack would never spare
them.
'Could they still have a good life after offending Zack?'
"What shall we do?" Madam Swift was so worried.
"Leave now." Mr. Swift pulled himself up unsteadily. "You should leave."
Mr. Swift looked at his wife and asked her to give the money to Arya. "Take Joshua and leave. Never
come back."
Madam Swift didn't want Joshua to leave, but now, she had no other choice. In order not to be
retaliated by Zack, she agreed with Mr. Swift's words and put the bank account book into Arya's hand.
Arya refused to take it, and Madam Swift was anxious. "Just listen to me. Go now. When he wakes up,
he will definitely take revenge on Joshua. The only way is to leave."
Arya knew what Mr. Swift and Madam Swift were worried about. She would not let Zack retaliate
against Joshua.
"Leave it to me." Arya patted Madam Swift on the shoulder gently. "You guys stay in the house and
don't go anywhere. I'll go out and make a phone call."
She had no cell phone, so she could only use a payphone outside.

At the Jones Group.
Jacob was reporting the incident to Xavier. "Those people that day were all villagers of Aqua Village.
The leader of them was Zack, a fisherman villain from Aqua Village. He did a lot of bad things...
According to my investigation, Miss Harrison was saved by the Swift Family from Aqua Village. Zack
retaliated against this family probably because he must have taken a fancy to ... Miss Harrison."
Xavier's eyes were cold. "Fisherman Villain?"
Jacob handed over the related documents to Xavier. "This is the distribution of the XWX Group's
seafood market. The seafood sold to these places is all produced by the Anderson Family's seafood
market in Aqua Village. It can be said that the sea area is monopolized by Rufus. The Anderson Family
is just a puppet."
Xavier sneered. He was angry at the shamelessness of the Gates Family, and now they were coming
for him. He would like to "welcome" them. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"We are going to make a big scene." Xavier's voice was low yet formidable.
Jacob did not know how big Xavier was talking about. "You mean..."
He met Xavier's piercing eyes and hurried to nod. "I see..."
Before Jacob could finish speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.
He took out his phone and picked it up. He heard a voice. He was stunned for a moment before looking
at Xavier. "You mean, you want to borrow some of my men?"
"Yes."
Arya knew that the people under Xavier's command were at Jacob's disposal.
Jacob covered the microphone and whispered to Xavier, "It's Miss Harrison. She said she wanted to
borrow several men from us."
Xavier frowned. 'Why doesn't she come to him for help, but turn to Jacob?'
Xavier was unhappy.
Xavier reached out his hand and motioned for Jacob to give him his phone.
Jacob hesitated and handed the phone over, thinking that it was not his fault.
He dared not disobey Xavier.
As soon as Xavier put the phone to his ear, he heard Arya's voice. "Jacob..."
"It's me."
Xavier interrupted her in a calm voice, and he clearly sensed her surprise.
Arya didn't expect Xavier to answer the phone. She was stunned for a moment.
"I..."
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Xavier said coldly. "What? You don't want to tell me?"
"No."
Arya pursed her lips. She didn't know how to tell Xavier the story.
"How many do you want?"
"Two." Arya knew that Xavier's men were good, but Mr. Swift and Madam Swift were old. She was
afraid of an unexpected situation, so she asked for one more.
"Well, haven't you gone back yet?" Xavier lowered his eyes and fiddled with the lighter in his hand.
"I'll be back when they come," Arya said, pausing for a moment. "If you don't have anything else to say,
I'll hang up the phone."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xavier threw his phone on the table, feeling upset.
Jacob knew that Xavier was feeling awkward again.
He grabbed the phone and ran away. "I'll arrange for someone."
"Wait." Xavier stopped him.
Jacob's heart skipped a beat. 'Did he want to blame him?'
Jacob smiled. "Anything else?"
"Arrange two skilled ones." Although Xavier didn't know why Arya wanted two people, he couldn't help
but care.
Jacob said, "I will do it."
At the hospital.
Arya waited for the people arranged by Jacob and told them about the situation.
"It's a temporary solution which doesn't help with the real problem," Jacob said.
Arya knew it, but she needed time to find evidence that Zack had done something bad.
"Xavier has already asked me to do this, so you don't have to worry... It's just that if you have
something to do, please just contact my boss, not me."
Jacob wanted to yell at Arya. 'Didn't she know Xavier was petty?'
In fact, Xavier didn't do this before. He was only so petty when it came to Arya.
Arya scratched her head. "Is he mad?"
Jacob thought about Xavier's expression and nodded. "I think so."
"I see." Arya took a deep breath and walked into the ward.
She had to tell Mr. Swift and Madam Swift not to worry.
"Arya, do you have to leave us?"
Seeing that Arya was leaving, Joshua took her hand and refused to let go.
"No." Arya stroked Joshua's face. "I'll come back tomorrow, but I have something to do today."
She promised Xavier to go back early. She was afraid that Xavier would be angry again if she was late.
"Really?" Joshua blinked.
Arya answered affirmatively, "Yeah."
Only then would Joshua let go.
When Arya came back, Daisy had already left, and she didn't take Ryan away.
Daisy did not dare to take Ryan away without preparation, afraid that Xavier would find out about her
meeting with Arya.
She was going to find a time to take Ryan away in front of Xavier so that he wouldn't make life hard for
her.
"Mommy." Seeing Arya enter, Ryan pounced on her.
Arya picked Ryan up and kissed him on the cheek. "Did you miss me?"
Ryan secretly hid in Arya's arms and whispered, "Yes, dad also missed you when you weren't around.
He looked sad..."
'In my absence, would he miss me and feel sorry for me?'
Arya was touched by Ryan's words.
Arya pursed her lips. "Really?"
"Yes," Ryan answered affirmatively.
"You're back?" Nanny Joy came out of the kitchen and greeted Arya. "Xavier is back. He's upstairs.
Dinner is ready. Would you like to call him in for lunch?"
Arya thought for a moment. "Well, I'll go and tell him."
She had something to say to him.
