Annabelle hoped Peter’s reputation would scare the men away, but they were not bothered in the least.“Let him wait then. Have a drink or two with me first.”“No, I don’t drink,” Annabelle said with a shake of her head and prepared to leave.The other man got annoyed and cursed right away, “F*ck! How dare you dismiss Miles like this? Are you f*cking asking to be killed? Do you know who he is?!”Annabelle was used to being put on a pedestal. The men she had met before were polite and deferent. She had never been berated like this before. About to explode in rage, her face fell as well. “I’m warning you to watch your language, or I’ll sue you for insulting me.”Her threat had only made the men laugh again as the man referred to as “Miles” said, “Alright, I don’t have much patience. Come drink with me and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as just a drink.”Discerning the laced threat, Annabelle was distressed. She planned to turn and run, but they knew what she plann
“You don’t appreciate it when I’m being nice. You really think you’re worth my time, huh?!”With a loud bang, Miles slapped his palm on the table. He picked up a glass and threw its contents at Annabelle. The girl shuddered—her garments happened to be quite thin.Her eyes turned red. Since she had gotten famous, nobody ever treated her so savagely.Seeing Annabelle’s shapely figure through her drenched clothes, the numerous men in the room whistled suggestively while gawking at her. She could hear all sorts of crude and vulgar comments. Feeling extremely affronted, she cried, unable to hold it in.“Oh, she’s crying. How weak is that?! Hahaha!”“Haha, it gets interesting when they cry. I like watching women cry, especially the pretty ones.”“Sh*t, you like watching them cry too? Why are our hobbies the same?!”“Hey, hey, this is a superstar. She has millions of fans. Look at how sad she’s now, though?”“Of course. Take a look at Miles’ build. That’s certainly taking a toll on th
The noise took everyone in the room by surprise as their eyes immediately flew to the source. Miles had seized Annabelle and was going to take advantage of her, but he was stunned as well. He loosened his grip, allowing her to wrench herself away.She was petrified. In her state of panic, Peter and Zayn’s appearance was like a ray of hope cutting through the darkness to save her. She ran to them frantically, but in her haste, she tripped and fell forward. Her speed coupled with the heels she wore guaranteed a hard fall, one that would damage her face, so Annabelle yelped in horror.Just as she braced to hit the floor, her vision blurred. Zayn moved at an incredible speed and dashed to her in the blink of an eye. He wrapped an arm around her just in time. Slowing down with a twirl, he caught Annabelle securely in his arms and saved her.Unfortunately, as she struggled in fear, Annabelle shifted her position, resulting in Zayn’s arm coming into contact with her chest. It was awkward
“Uh…” The corners of Peter's lips twitched twice. Miles did not bother to show him the slightest respect at all. However, Miles genuinely could afford not to give him the slightest respect. After all, Everest Group was a super amazing company in the country with its market value exceeding a few billion dollars. Miles was someone that he as an experienced businessman in the media industry could not afford to offend. On the other hand, Miles Morales was also the son of a wealthy man widely known in the social circle. He was known for being imperious, arrogant, and a casanova who dated countless women. Peter was aware of Miles’ impressive reputation that preceded him prior to their meeting. He knew that a rich kid of Miles’ rank was not someone he could afford to offend despite being an experienced businessman in the media industry. All at once, he felt rather troubled. If this person were some other female celebrity, he would have given his consent to Miles right away.However, An
At that very moment, Peter experienced unprecedented stress. The cold sweat on his forehead streamed down his jaw while blood drained from his face. Even the chubby flesh on his face was trembling in fear. The truth was that Peter was an important figure. He was the chairman of Black Athens Media Corp with family assets that amounted to a few billion dollars. He had plenty of experience in managing affairs, so logically, he was mentally very strong. However, the stress that he was experiencing now had surpassed the limit of his tolerance. Panic and terror consumed him whole. It was because he had discovered that not only Miles but a large portion of the people here were rich kids of society as well. They came from powerful families, and he could not afford to offend the combined power of these people with his measly chairman’s position in Black Athens Media Corp!Gulp!He swallowed a mouthful of saliva heavily and said, “You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Morales. I don’t mean that. Yo
Meanwhile, the only person left that Annabelle could count on was Zayn.She was not a fool. She could tell from Peter’s dread towards Miles earlier as well as Miles’ unruly behavior that Miles was definitely a bigshot that she could not afford to offend!Despite being this famous celebrity with a superior status in the eyes of ordinary people, she knew very well that there were way too many people more formidable than her in society. She was just a toy worthless of a mention in the midst of these capitalists and bigshots. She had witnessed with her own eyes many celebrities in the entertainment industry flatter and fawn the owners of big businesses and bigshots without upholding the slightest hint of integrity with these people. Had she not been talented enough and kept a low profile, she would have already been toyed with by countless capitalists in view of her fame and beauty. She refused to live a life like that, not ever!She found that she could not accept the wretched and
Miles moved so swiftly and swung his leg very strongly, aiming straight at Zayn’s lower body. He was planning to kick Zayn’s balls so hard that the latter would be rendered infertile.Miles’ attack was ruthless. Zayn did not even offend him, yet he attacked him so mercilessly. One could imagine the evil deeds that he committed on usual days and how many people were defeated by him just thinking about it. Sombreness flashed past Zayn’s eyes for a moment, and he let out a heavy grunt. He did not plan to be very hostile to Miles initially and merely found Miles an eyesore at most. However, Miles’ actions turned his heart cold and ruthless. Amelia and the other female celebrities widened their eyes and screamed in astonishment when they witnessed Miles’s leg aiming for Zayn’s lower body. In their perception, Zayn would certainly be ruined from such a blow!The corner of Miles’ lips curled into a smirk. He felt especially elated in his heart because there was nothing more enjoyable
His lackeys followed his orders obediently and rushed towards Zayn immediately. A few of them frequently engaged in fights and were rather skilled in martial arts as well, thus they did not rush towards Zayn empty-handed. Instead, they conveniently grabbed a few beer bottles on the table as weapons. One had no choice but to acknowledge that it was a rather grand scene with at least 13 to 14 adult men charging towards Zayn menacingly. If another common person were in Zayn’s shoes, the person would have already been dumbstruck with fear. That was the truth. Other than Zayn, Annabelle and the others were screaming in trepidation upon witnessing the situation. They were utmost terrified. Albeit being famous celebrities, they were also ordinary humans who were physically weak. They mingled with educated, cultured people and barely engaged in quarrels with others, let alone being involved in such a huge conflict. Peter’s expression was flooded with unease as well. Panic-stricken, he re
