Chapter 39 Is Love in the Air?
It took less than half a day for the lawyer to negotiate the compensation amount with the man who was involved in the fight; Peyton was bailed out of the police station.
She probably did not sleep well the previous night; she had dark circles underneath her eyes, and there were scratches on her forehead and lips..
Freya dashed toward her and held Peyton’s hands.
Luckily, the scars on Peyton’s face were not deep, but her cheeks were swollen and it seemed like she was being pinned down and slapped.
Freya was shaking from anger, and when she was about to say something, Jacob pulled her to the side.
“Let’s go out to talk!”
Freya held Peyton’s hand and entered jacob’s car; Peyton was actually pretty close with Jacob recently.. And she knew that Freya asked for his help to bail her out smoothly.
She insisted on treating him to a meal, as she was a sensible person.
She owed him this time, so she must return his favor.
She chose a western restaurant; it was not huge, but it was clean. They asked for a private room, and they were drinking beer inside.
Jacob was a carefree man who was not arrogant.
He could be able to entertain the rich ladies in high–class restaurants, and he could be able to join them in drinking in an ordinary restaurant too. He was prepared to call for a chauffeur if he was drunk.
Freya went to the pharmacy beforehand to buy her alcohol, cotton, and iodophor to disinfect Peyton’s scars. “Peyton, what happened?”
Peyton did not want to hide from her best friend; she raised her head and looked at Jacob awkwardly.
She snorted, “It’s because of you!”
Jacob smiled awkwardly.
Peyton continued to say, “Do you know about the Owl News? I know–Fay didn’t come across it since she’s busy drawing. Someone actually captured the two of you back in the market.”
When was there setting up a stall, a few dumb women came into my way : thought that I was Fay.”
They scolded Fay for being unrealistic.”
“They reprimanded her for seducing you after getting out of jail.”
scolded me. They.

Chapter 39 Is Love in the Air? Chapter
Her face fluttered out in anger, and she stopped talking about their comments. She gritted her teeth and said, “I could never let these women go! Ha, none of them was capable enough to quarrel with me.”
She worked in the red shift for years, and she was so aggressive that no one could win a fight with her.
“They could not get me by scolding me, so they started a fight with me.” “And I counterattacked.”
Freya grabbed Peyton’s hand; she could not thank her enough, and no words could be used to describe her thankfulness.
She owed her way too much.
Jacob’s face crumpled. Anyone would literally bully Freya just because she was jailed?
Does everyone think that she’s alone without people supporting her?
He looked at Freya and asked, “There’s an upcoming dance this week, and do you want to come with
me?”
She froze upon hearing his question.
He looked at her and said sincerely, “Your surname is Gomez; as long as you’re alive, the Gomez family lives on. There’s always a place for you in Saeville.”
“Your friend was being hit this time; could it be your turn next?”
“I know I’m not as powerful as Nathaniel, but with me protecting you, everyone will think twice before laying their finger on you, right?”
She took a deep breath and nodded her head.
He smiled softly, and he caressed her hair as if she were a little fluffy animal.
Peyton burst into laughter, and she said, “Hey! Someone is still single here; please take note of my feelings!”
Peyton might be joking, but Freya’s heart skipped a bit.
