Chapter 48
Under the deafening music, Darryl approached Jacob while hooking his arm around Yasmine's and blurted at the top of his voice, "You think it's unsafe here? Buddy, I bet you don't know what you're uttering about!"
The lad with thick eyebrows glanced at Jacob and said, "If Shadez Bar is unsafe, no one would dare to visit the pub street anymore!"
Jacob was a man too, so he naturally knew the intentions of Darryl and the guy with thick eyebrows, who were much older than the girls.
Imagining the worst that could happen, Jacob was distressed. At the same time, he decided that he had to send someone to protect Janelle when she was outside of school or home.
Cindy drew close to Janelle's ear and muttered pitifully, "Janelle, the party has just started. You won't ditch me and go home, will you?"
Jacob shot a cold glare at Cindy before saying gently to his sister, "Be a good girl and follow me home. Otherwise, dad will be worried."
Janelle bit her lips and hesitated. If I go home now, my friends will be offended.
Meanwhile, Darryl secretly reached out his hand and pinched Yasmine's waist under her clothes.
Feeling tremors along her nerves, Yasmine shot a glance at Darryl. Then, she went forward to hold Janelle's hand and feigned a pitiful look. "Janelle, it's my birthday today. Please stay and have fun with us."
"Yeah! Yasmine is kind enough to invite us to her party. Don't be ungrateful just because you're a top student." The girl with heavy makeup pouted.
"What are you saying, Larna?! Janelle didn't say that she's leaving now." Cindy glared at Larna Mickey.
"I…" Janelle was in a quandary as she stared at Yasmine.
Just then, a hand appeared all of a sudden and tapped Yasmine's hand away from Janelle's.
"Hey, why did you hit me?!" Yasmine cried crabbily while rubbing her hand.
"Hmph! He must be eyeing this girl and is annoyed that we stopped her from leaving!" The young man with thick eyebrows yelled.
"Jacob..." Janelle was a little frustrated at Jacob's sudden move.
Jacob looked at her and exhorted gently, "This place is too messy and is not somewhere you should come. Come on, I'll bring you home."
"I..." Janelle glanced at Cindy and Yasmine and bit her lips.
"Tsk! Don't make it sound like we're the bad ones while you're the most innocent and holy one!" The girl with heavy makeup remarked in a surly manner.
Hearing that, Janelle frowned and shook her arm after pausing for a while. "Let go of me!"
Seeing Janelle's crossed look, Jacob let go of her wrist.
The lad with thick eyebrows sneered haughtily, "Dude, you should treat a hot chick gently. Don't act as if you haven't met a woman in twenty years and can't wait to take off your…"
Before he could finish the sentence, his eyes widened all of a sudden, followed by him flying away as if he had an electric shock.
Darryl's expression changed all of a sudden when he saw his friend slump to the ground. "Hey Martin, are you okay?"
Seeing Martin glaring at Jacob with a miserable look, Darryl bellowed furiously, "How dare you hit my friend?! I swear I'm not going to let you step out of this bar!"
Jacob frowned mildly and struck Darryl with his foot. Immediately after that, a loud bang emerged.
