If he wanted to block Austin's brute bull-like charge, he had to let go of the woman in his arms first.
Perhaps the small quarrels made by Finn would not cause any harm to the healthy Alex, but it was inevitable that the weak woman in his arms would suffer along with him.
Out of instinct's protection for the woman, Alex released the Lita in his arms. He leaned to the side and vigorously grabbed Austin's hand, cutting it behind him. However, he didn't think that Austin wouldn't move out of the way, instead using his body to support his waist.
"Lita, let's go! Let's go!" Austin shouted at Lita, who was released by Alex.
It turned out that Austin wanted to use such a tragic way of throwing himself into the net to entangle Alex so that Lita could have more time to escape.
Lita looked at the two men who were fighting with each other. At this moment, she did have the intention to escape, but she was also very clear: Austin would definitely not be Alex's opponent. He would be beaten into a miserable state by him.
"Austin, you can't beat him." Lita reminded him sadly.
"Don't worry, let's go! He won't beat me to death! Let's go!" Austin shouted at Lita, who was hesitating.
Lita wanted to run away, wanting to get rid of Alex's entanglements. She knew very well that tonight, she had already angered that ruthless man. What awaited her definitely wouldn't be a good outcome!
What's more, she was pregnant now, and she couldn't stand the arrogance. She didn't want any accident to happen to the baby in her belly. This little life was too important to her, as if it had become the spiritual support for her life in the future.
But when she saw that Austin was at a disadvantage, she couldn't take the step to escape again. If she left, she thought that Austin would definitely be beaten badly by Alex.
"Lita, go to the car and wait for me.
Otherwise..."
Alex's left hook landed heavily on the side of Austin's waist. Austin immediately curled up like a big shrimp.
"Alex, stop it."
Lita cried out in alarm. He rushed forward, wanting to pull away Austin who was tightly held in place by Alex.
"Lita, don't worry about me! Alex wouldn't dare to beat me to death! Even if he beat me to death, he'd still put the prison through himself!"
Austin urged lita to leave while provoking Alex. No matter how Alex controlled the economy of Lisbon, whether white or black, he could not escape the direction of the law.
Lita was worried about Austin, and she was also concerned about Alex.
If Alex was prisoned for intentional injury, what would Ethan do? Facing the covetous Ellie and those elders of Finn Group who were ready to take action, if Alex went to jail, they would eat Ethan alive, who was physically disabled!
Ethan was inseparable from Alex, while Lita herself and the child in her belly...
"Alex, stop fighting. I'll go with you! I'll go with you, okay?" Lita rushed forward and hugged Alex's arm. "Let Austin go. I'll go with you!"
In Lita's view, this was the best way to solve the problem: Austin would not continue to be beaten, and Alex would not do anything to hurt others because of his violence.
But in Austin's view, Lita's actions were undoubtedly the silliest. Her compromise and compromise, not only had her heart gone to waste, but she had also been struck by Alex's left hook.
The woman in Alex's eyes became the sad ex-girlfriend who never forgot her ex- boyfriend and gave up her life to save her.
"Lita, can you stop being so mean? How can you just let Alex humiliate yourself like this? Where's your dignity? Where's your ideals? Where's your self-esteem? Where are you going? Lita, I beg you, leave quickly, don't be so mean to yourself!"
Austin had pierced Lita's heart with a single stab of the needle.
"Yes, what about my dignity? What about my dream? What about my poor and pathetic self-esteem?"
From the moment she promised her uncle that Jack would marry into the Selmy Family, she might have been trampled on by others!
"Austin, if you told me that I liked Alex, you wouldn't believe me, would you? This is the truth: I was willing to do everything that happened between me and Alex."
Lita did not know why she had suddenly made the other party say such a thing. But Lita clearly knew that only after she said it, would Austin leave and avoid being beaten again.
"What? You... you actually fell in love with Alex? A man who lied to you and flirted with you?"
Austin was horrified. He really didn't dare to believe Lita's words. How could she fall in love with Alex? She should have been forced! She couldn't, and she shouldn't have liked a man who deceived her and made fun of her!
At first, Alex was patient enough to listen to their long-winded conversation; when a woman said that she liked him, Alex could not help but be amazed. His eyes were full of arrogance and narcissism.
But the following conversation seemed to carry the slander and attack of Alex; and Alex stopped them from continuing.
"Austin, I've told you, if you dare to covet my woman again, I'll see you every time and beat you every time. The hook just now is a present for you today! I'm in a hurry to go back and have fun with my woman. Farewell!"
Alex did not want to argue with Austin any longer. More or less, the woman's words, "I like Alex", made him more or less happy. He was eager to test how a woman likes him, so he no longer entangled with Austin.
With a slight bow, Alex carried Lita onto his shoulders.
This time, Lita did not struggle. Instead, she allowed Alex to carry her in such a manner as he walked past Austin.
"Ah..."
After a long time, he heard Austin shouting at the top of his voice behind him. It seemed that he was really disappointed in himself.
However, this was also good. At least, he would not involve the innocent outsider,Austin, in this case where both deception and conspiracy coexisted.
Lita used one hand to protect her stomach in order to increase the buffer of men's shoulders to her waist.
"Are you sad?" Seeing that the woman did not say a word all the way, Alex asked in a low voice.
Snow did not want to talk. It seemed that she was using this silence to pray to Roland and Austin for their friendship over the past two or three years.
In fact, there were some things that had been exposed, which instead had the opposite effect. It was just like what happened between Lita and Austin: There was a little more friendship than friendship, but there was also a lot less relationship than a couple.
Later on, Lita found out: Actually, Austin was the familial care that she had always longed for. It had nothing to do with love!
"Alex, with your IQ, there shouldn't be a misunderstanding. Did the other party just say that she 'likes you'?"
