Cecilia Adler quickly waved her hands. "We're good, law-abiding citizens. We never do anything that breaks the rules."
A smile crept onto Jim Quincy's face. 'Even the Shaw family knows she goes to the black market, yet she's still putting on an act for me.' "Is that so? Well, as long as you stay away, you'll be fine. I heard a couple of days ago that some official on duty was just arresting people indiscriminately. Now, the whole city is investigating those who abuse their position for personal gain. I was worried you might go and get extorted by someone like that."
Cecilia Adler immediately thought of her own situation. 'The investigation started a few days ago?'
'Then how come they haven't caught that guy from today?'
She understood this all too well now.
'Thank goodness I resisted.'
'Otherwise, if I'd gone with that man, I would've been taken advantage of one way or another.'
'Thank you for watching over me, Mom.'
'Another close call.'
