The Poor Billionaire novel Chapter 8

Joanna was nearly beaten to tears. Since she was little, she never has been slapped by her parents. At this moment, she was not only misunderstood but also slapped by her good friend. Joanna felt extremely wronged, with tears rolling down, she ran away.

Ethan was stunned and was about to stop her, but his phone rang at this moment.

Ethan sighed anxiously, he still picked up the phone and found it's from Charles, "Charles, what happened?"

"Big trouble! Ethan, where are you?"

Charles seemed really anxious, so Ethan quickly stopped and asked, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Charles sighed and said, "Hey, the monitor Nina met trouble. Now she is detained and everyone in our class is trying to rescue her. Where are you? Come back soon. She is our classmate anyway, at least we should give her a hand."

Charles's words made Ethan fall into deep thought.

"What's wrong with Nina? Did she provoke anyone again? Considering her annoying manner, it makes sense though."

However, Ethan shook his head and recalled what happened yesterday. He was really unwilling to have any relationships with Nina anymore, so he said, "But I'm not on campus now and shopping at Pinnacle Plaza. Besides, I may not be able to do much even if I get there, so I..."

"Ethan Humphrey!" Charles was obviously angry and his tone was a little harsh. "I know that you and Nina had some misunderstandings, but today is a critical point. No matter what contradiction between you and her, you should come over today. Maybe Nina will change her attitude if you come out at this critical moment?"

Charles's words seemed to make sense. Looking at the direction of Joanna's leaving, Ethan thought for a while and sighed."He had no choice but to find a better chance to thank Joanna, and then explain the whole thing clearly and return her the money."

Ethan knew that Joanna's family was just above average and far from wealthy. Her clothes were just worth several dollars. So he couldn't accept, in any case, the expensive sneakers brought by her.

"Well, where are you? Tell me the address and I'll be right there," Ethan said.

"We are in the Queen Bar. Hurry up. Almost everyone got already. If someone finds you are not here, every classmate will definitely be mad at you."

Ethan hung up the phone and turned to leave. At this time, he found that Elie and Lily had appeared in front of him. Elie looked at him angrily as if she was going to eat him.

"Ethan, you really make me f*cking sick!" Elie said, "I thought that even if you were acting, you would try harder, at least you should chase a few more steps. But you stopped chasing after less than ten steps.

Can you be more fake?"

Elie sighed and looked a little lonely. "Although I'm no longer a friend of Joanna, I still hope she'll be better, and you'd better stay away from her. People like you won't do her any good!"

After finishing speaking, Elie turned her head and left, without giving Ethan any chance to explain at all.

Ethan looked at the sneakers on his hand and scratched his head. He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him, he just wanted to buy a pair of shoes.

He sighed and left the shopping mall. And then, took a taxi directly to the Queen Bar.

Ten minutes later, when Ethan got off the taxi, he was still a little surprised. At this time, there are a lot of people gathering outside of the Queens Bar. These people were scattered into a few piles, and they were discussing something.

These people were almost students of Buckeye University, and many of them were his classmates.

Ethan looked around and finally saw Charles and Dylan in the crowd, so he quickly walked over.

Those people were also studying something. Ethan didn't hear it until he got close to them.

"Who on earth did Nina offend? I heard that last night, her family's restaurant was smashed first. And then the Administration for Industry and Commerce rushed into their restaurant, saying that they didn't have necessary permits, as a result, their business was suspended. Moreover, Nina's father seemed to have been taken away by the police to investigate, saying that he is involved in a gang-related case?" "There's no need to guess. She's offending the people inside, isn't she? The owner of the Queen Bar, Mr. Paker. Otherwise, why would he keep her in the bar? Moreover, I guess the only person who could make the whole family such tragic in Buckeye, is Mr. Paker."

"That's right. Mr. Paker is so powerful and resourceful in Buckeye. If he wanted to deal with Nina, it would be so easy."

Ethan had almost heard all of their whispers.

However, Ethan hunched that this thing was probably done by Maggie. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Yesterday Nina provoked him, and today not only she was detained, but also her family was ransacked.
