Chapter: 653
Right then, a girl with short hair beside Abigail suddenly said, "You’re the one who behaved obscenely first! If you didn’t grope her, you wouldn’t have gotten slapped!"
"She should thank her lucky stars that I touched her. Don’t be fucking shameless!" The man glared.
Edmund’s face froze. In the end, he still forced a smile and said, "Young man, I think this is just a misunderstanding. There’s no need to make this bigger than it is. Why don’t we all take a step back, okay?"
"Don’t think it’s over just because you said so!" The man slapped Edmund harshly, cursing. "Who the fuck are you? Are you even worthy of negotiating with me?"
Edmund staggered backward from the blow, almost falling.
"How dare you hit my father?" Abigail flew into a rage. She picked up a beer bottle, about to swing it, but
Edmund stopped her.
"Abigail, don’t be impulsive!"
"What, are you going to hit me again? Why don’t you try? If you as much as harm a hair on my head, not a single person in this room will walk out of here tonight!" The man in the suit laughed icily.
"Young man, it’s just a misunderstanding. Once you cool down, we can talk nicely." Edmund said, smiling apologetically.
"Talk? Hmph, what right do you have to talk to me?" The man lifted his broken watch and said disdainfully. "Do you know what watch this is? It’s a limited edition Patek watch that costs eight hundred thousand dollars!
Now, your daughter broke it. Tell me, how will you handle it?"
"Eight hundred thousand dollars? That expensive?" Edmund was thunderstruck. He only earned a few thousand dollars a month. He didn’t know how many years it’d take to save up eight hundred thousand dollars.
"What, didn’t you want to talk? Then pay up. If you can fork out eight hundred thousand dollars tonight, I’ll consider letting your daughter off the hook," the man responded haughtily.
"Well…" Edmund’s eye twitched. He didn’t know what to do.
"I can tell you can’t afford it. Fine, I won’t make things hard for you. So long as your daughter sleeps with me for a night. I’ll let the eight hundred thousand dollars slide. How does that sound?" The man grinned wickedly.
"In your dreams!" Abigail glowered.
"Young man, give me a few days. I’ll definitely come up with the money," Edmund said.
"I want it now! If you don’t have the money, then get lost. Don’t get in the way of my fun!" Getting impatient, the man in the suit pushed Edmund to the floor. "Old geezer, consider it a blessing of a lifetime that I have my eyes on your daughter. Even a small–time celebrity doesn’t have the price tag of eight hundred thousand dollars. You should be happy!"
"You’ve crossed the line!" Watching her father get pushed over, Abigail couldn’t hold back anymore. She smashed the beer bottle over the man’s head.
