As Thomas spoke, he caught sight of Lily. “It's no wonder Mr. Grange was so bold today. It looks like he's on a date with his goddess. Are you trying to put on a tough guy act for her?” he sneered mockingly.
All of a sudden, he reached out and grabbed Lily by her waist. “Ms. Lily, why don't you keep me company instead?”
“Unfortunately, I already have a customer who I must tend to, Mr. York. Why don't we drink together on another day?” Lily replied with an apologetic smile.
Now that I've found the perfect golden goose, there's no way I'm going to let this opportunity go to wastelSlap!
Without warning, Thomas sent his palm across Lily's cheek. “The audacity of a s*ut like you to deny my advances!”
The slap was unexpected for Lily. She held onto her reddened cheek and stared at Thomas in indignance. Even so, she could not muster the courage to retaliate.
At the same time, Jared merely glanced away, pretending like he saw nothing. He had no intention to swoop in and rescue her like a knight in shining armor. After all, he barely knew Lily.
In stark contrast, Oliver could not turn a blind eye. Lily had always been the woman of his dreams. Hence, he couldn't stomach the sight of his beloved goddess being slapped by Thomas.
“Thomas, let Lily go right this instance! Are you still a man for hitting a woman?” Oliver snarled as he advanced toward Thomas with a wine bottle in hand.
Bang!
The moment Oliver finished his sentence, one of Thomas' fellow subordinates lashed his foot out at Oliver. “You brat! How dare you speak to Mr. York in such a rude tone!”
A dark expression loomed across Oliver's face. Gritting his teeth, he lunged at Thomas with the sole intention of smashing the wine bottle on the latter's head. “I'll kill you all!” he roared.
Right then, Oliver was living up to the role of a knight in shining armor. Regardless of the consequences, he wanted to leave Lily with a good impression of his bravery.
