Seeing Cher turn him down again made Brendock lose his patience thoroughly, and he barked out a laugh of frustration.However, he did not lose his patience and forced out a grin. "What could you possibly have to do this late? You can tell me if anything's the problem, you know. I can totally help you out."Brendock forced the door open as he spoke, reaching out to grab Cher by the wrist. "I've made reservations at the restaurant, Cher. You're really letting me down if you don't come with me. Come on."Brendock was still smiling as he spoke, but his gaze shone cruelly.There had been beautiful women who had turned him down in the past, but acting by force always got the job done.To Brendock, Cher would be his once he acted out. She was only playing hard to get on the surface, but she would be wrapped around his finger very soon.Cher cried out at being yanked out so forcefully. "Mister Brendock! Let… let me go. It wouldn't look very good for us to be seen like this." Her boss was
Cher knew what she was doing, and she shook her head. "I can't take this, Mister Brendock."As she spoke, Brendock used his other hand to wrap around Cher's waist.Cher startled, ducking out of his grasp at top speed as she finally lost her patience. "Please, Mister Brendock. This isn't appropriate."Cher was nothing but nervous as she spoke. She had not expected Brendock to be so shameless, acting out like this.Cher's words did little to ward off Brendock, and he was only further excited as he grinned. "C'mon Cher, don't say no. I like you so, so much.""Do you know how many women would die to be mine? Countless, but I couldn't care less about them. I only have eyes for you, darling."As the words rang through the air, Brendock yanked her into his arms, the smell of her putting a dazed smile onto his face. "You smell amazing. Did you just take a shower?"Brendock could take it no longer.After all, the parking lot belonged to the company, and it was late. No one would know i
Brendock stopped short at the words, thinking that he had heard the wrong thing.What did this peasant say? Asking him to apologize, did he think he was the savior of the world?Amidst his rage, Brendock flashed a murderous smile. "It really seems like you don't know your place, huh! I'm telling you now, beating you to an inch of your life will be as easy as crushing an ant.""Motherf*cker, how dare you interrupt my fun! To hell with you!"As he spoke, Brendock glowered at Darryl as he charged towards him.Cher trembled with fright at the sight, and she yanked Darryl aside. "You should leave… now!" Brendock was said to have learned taekwondo before, and had even won an award for it.This man next to her was injured. How could he be any match for Brendock?To tell the truth, Cher had been plenty touched by him standing up for her— but she did not want him to be beaten to death.Yet Darryl stood right where he was, not moving in the slightest. He smirked at the sight of Brendock
To tell the truth, Brendock had had his way for many years. He had always been the one in power and had never been beaten up like this before. He did not wish to back down like this.If he were to keep his front up, he might just get beaten to death."Stop it, please, stop it, it's my fault, I'm sorry…" Brendock howled. His face swelled up like a balloon. He looked nothing like the arrogant, smug man from before.Ho ho…Darryl chuckled at the sight. "Weren't you talking such a big talk just now? Come on, I only landed a couple of blows! Can't take anymore?" As he spoke, he stepped on Brendock's face once again.Brendock let out an agonized howl, almost blacking out from the force of the kick. He was beside himself with rage, swearing to himself internally.F*ck, how dare this man humiliate him like this. He was going to get revenge for the way he was treated today for sure.What…Cher was completely stunned at the sight. She stared at Darryl blankly, unable to speak for a long
"And if things do get that bad, we can leave then."Darryl's expression was one of ease as he spoke as if nothing had happened at all.To tell the truth, Darryl would not be afraid of Brendock taking revenge, even if he was injured. He had also just seen that the roads just now were lined with billboards advertising the newest products from Eleganza Corporations.On top of that, the advertisements also said that the head of the company, Emily Dickinson, was opening up a branch here.With Emily around, there was even less need for Darryl to panic. It was important to note that the two were old friends, and Emily's business would have been nowhere near what it was today without Darryl's help a decade ago.What…Cher bit her lip at Darryl's words, falling into a dilemma.It was only after a few seconds that she finally nodded. "Alright."To tell the truth, she did not trust Darryl completely. It was just that she had yet to pack her things, and leaving just like that would be too
Sigh!Cher flashed a pained smile, thinking that Darryl was only trying to cheer her up. She bid him goodnight and retreated into her room.Darryl turned off the television but did not go straight to bed. Instead, he tried making another phone call to the Donghai mansion.Yet after many calls, no one picked up.Something must have happened over that. He had to recover his powers and return as soon as possible.Oh, and Ambrose and Heather too. Lord knows where they had been sent off to.At the thought, Darryl lay down on the couch and began resting.Deep into the night.After a series of lights, quick footsteps could be heard on the otherwise quiet corridor outside. Darryl opened his eyes at once, sitting up immediately.The next second, he could clearly hear a few people speaking softly outside."Are you sure it's here…""I'm dead certain, I checked. Cher Schooling moved here three months ago.""Alright. We'll tie the girl up and teach that guy a lesson. F*ck, he's got some
Darryl fooled with them for a little before he could not help but scoff to himself.How were these losers considered capable enough to assassinate someone? Embarrassing.At the thought, Darryl lost his patience as well. He soared into the formation, casting a blow as quick as lightning.Thump thump thump…In the blink of an eye, the men had been knocked unconscious. They collapsed to the floor in a heap, unmoving.Upon taking care of them, Darryl lay on the sofa again before continuing to rest.A few hours later, dawn broke.Cher opened the door of her room at seven in the morning and got the fright of her life.All that could be seen were several men in black suits lying in a heap on the floor. Their eyes closed as if they had been knocked unconscious. Next to them on the sofa lay Darryl, the picture of leisure."You're up?"Darryl opened his eyes at the noise, smiling at Cher. "It's still pretty early."Cher felt as if her mind was buzzing as she pointed at the men on the
Just then, Cher thought that Darryl just meant that he knew someone of minor importance in Eleganza Corporation. After all, it was quite something for someone dressed the way Darryl was to know anyone from there at all.Alright!Darryl nodded at the shocked look on her face. "I was once firm friends with the CEO. It's been a few years since we last saw each other, though."Darryl was telling the truth. He had been wandering the world for many years, and it had been a while since he had seen Emily.What?Just then, Cher stopped short once again, but it was not long before she burst into giggles."What are you laughing about?" Darryl asked. Cher's gaze flashed in amusement as she stared at Darryl. "I read a book that said that most men like to brag and make things up. I didn't think it'd be this bad.""The CEO of Eleganza Corporations is gorgeous and loaded, and you're telling me you know her? Come on."Seeing her refuse to believe him, Darryl smiled and did not say anything fu
