Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1114

Erica felt helpless. "As long as you're happy."

She just hoped Randy would not regret it later.

"Erica, I have a question," Debra said. "It's the trick you used on Robert. Did you learn that a long time ago?"

"Yeah," Erica replied. "It's not just me. Randy learned it too. When we were kids, Caleb liked to train us. You know how it is. People like us get kidnapped all the time, especially when we are younger. We were often targets for rivals or kidnappers who wanted ransom. Caleb always said boys and girls both needed to learn to protect themselves, so he made sure we learned it all."

"Backstabbing like that is simple. The hardest part is showing weakness first," Randy chimed in. "It's what Caleb taught us. If you get captured, always show weakness to slacken their vigilance. Then you counterstrike with techniques like joint locks or over-the-shoulder slams. We learned all that, though I'm not as good as Erica. She was always into it and even learned boxing. Robert is stupid, messing with the wrong person. If he had grabbed me, I might have been done for."

"So, you know you're not great at fighting?" Erica sighed, shaking her head.

She had hoped to find a man who could always protect her, but now it seemed impossible. With his frail build, Randy couldn't even defend himself. All he did was give her more to worry about.

Debra nodded. "I see."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you," Erica offered. "It saves lives."

"Okay," Debra agreed.
