Chapter: 754
"Gorgeous! This lady is gorgeous Indeed!" he thought.
He’d set eyes on many beautiful ladies before, but this was something else. She was truly a rare beauty!
"Hey loser, is this your girlfriend? She’s quite hot." Duncan stroked his chin as he leered at Dahlia with a smirk. ‘I’ll strike you a deal. If you let your girlfriend sleep with me for one night, I’ll let you off the hook for that ass move you pulled last time. How’s that?"
"You insolent bastard!" Before Dustin could say anything, Terrence slammed his list on the table and stood up. "Which sect do you belong to? Don’t you know that men’s disagreements should be settled between men? So keep the lady out of your dirty business!"
"And who are you to run your mouth here, you cad?" Duncan squinted at him.
"Hmph! I am Terrence Stone, manager of Brooks Corporation! If you know what’s good for you, you better scram, or I’ll make you regret the day you were born!" Terrence said with his hands behind his back, going for a look of superiority. Brooks Corporation was a giant in the Millsburg business industry and had enormous influence over the market, so Terrence was used to people backing off the moment he told them that he worked for Brocks Corporation. It worked like a charm.
"Manager of Brooks Corporation?" Duncan’s expression darkened when he heard that, and within a split second, he went up to Terrence and gave him a hard slap across the face. "Fuck you! How dare a measly manager behave so pompously? Do you have a death wish?"
With a loud smack, Duncan’s hand made contact with Terrence’s cheek. The force was so strong that he staggered backward, nearly tripping over himself. The crimson outline of a palm blossomed on his face, clear for all to see.
Julie, along with the rest of them, were astonished by what they saw. It was beyond their expectation that these thugs would be so dauntless as to assault the manager of Brooks Corporation. Were they out of their minds?
"You–How dare you hit me!" Terrence held his cheek in his hand, gasping in disbelief. "Do you not know who I am? I am a managerial level in Brooks Corporation!"
"So what?" Without another word, Duncan gave him another hard slap. I’d probably be intimidated if Roderick Brooks himself were here. But a mere manager? Do you think I’d be afraid of you?"
"You scumbag! You’re done for, I’m telling you! How dare you hit me! I’ll make you pay if it’s the last thing I do!
Beside himself with rage. Terrence pulled his phone out and was about to call for backup.
"Fuck you!" Duncan kicked Terrence to the ground and bellowed, "How dare you act so arrogantly when death is staring you in the face? Get him, boys! Give him a good beating and show him who’s boss! With his orders, his henchmen came forward and rained kicks and punches down on Terrence.
"Stop it! Stop this immediately, or I’m calling the cops! Julie shouted. These thugs were going to be in deep trouble for messing with Terrence!
"Call the cops? Yeah, you go ahead and try that, and you’ll be walking out of here with one arm less!" Duncan glared at her nastily. That did the trick and shut Julie up.
"You you you’re too much!" Victoria was so angry, but there was nothing she could do, and that added to her frustration. She was consumed by distress at the sight of her prospective son–in–law being beaten up.
"This is all your fault, Rhys! If it wasn’t for you, Terrence would never have been beaten up!" As usual Florence pinned the blame on Dustin. Bullying people that she thought were weaker than her was what she did best. "I’m not the one beating him up! What’s this got to do with me?" Dustin was speechless. After all, it was Terrence who wanted to be the hero of the day but ended up embarrassing himself.
"Hmph! Terrence was helping you, and you’re here making sarcastic comments. Are you even human?" Florence demanded furiously.
"Well, maybe I’m not. If you are, why don’t you go ahead and save him?" Dustin gestured in Terrence’s direction.
