Chapter 51: What Space?
"If you so much as touch her," Alex said, stepping between them, "you and your entire family will spend the night in jail."
The room fell silent as everyone turned to see Alex Sterling in the flesh. He fixed the two women with a cold glare.
He had arrived in time to hear the woman's last statement and he had been more than impressed to see Emma standing up for herself the way she did.
Though he would've waited to see how the whole thing would play out since he believed Emma would've handled himself better, he had decided to step in.
He didn't want to take any chances and he certainly didn't want to see anyone raising their hands on Emma.
"She's my wife, so what?" Alex continued, "If you're that jealous of her then maybe you should get yourself a wealthy billionaire, one that would dote on you and not mind that you came digging his gold. I don't mind at all, infact I'm happy there's enough gold for her to dig so it's nothing. But if you're already married, you could just divorce your husband. I can even help hook you up with one of my rich and foreign investors, you know?" Alex said, a smirk playing on his lips.
Emma who had been pleasantly surprised to see Alex there stifled a laugh, stepping closer to Alex even though she wanted to ask him so many questions.
"They aren't worth the stress," she said lightly.
Alex turned to her, his expression softening. "You're right."
