Shania was bound to the idea where both of them were penniless and came from low social status. Her overbearing arrogance perked her chin towards the sky, acting all supercilious.
Helen only rolled her eyes.
Is she looking at Fabian with her nostrils!
Smack!
This blow landed on Shania's face.
Serve her bl*ody right! You're the man, Fabian!
Who knew Fabian would dare to slap Shania. Also, it was heavier than the previous one. Helen soothed her cheek with her hand as if she too felt the stinging slap.
Shania was thrown onto the floor, and the slap left a crimson mark on her face. She held her face and hysterically bellowed, "Argh! How dare you!
Howard, he hit me! Hit him back!"
Seconds after the shout, she pulled out a phone and made a call.
Howard dashed forward and hurled a punch at Fabian.
Helen's pores tightened in fear. She knew Howard perfectly well. He was on the basketball team, and that was the exact reason she got together with him. A punch from him would knock Fabian out!
Argh! If I'm gonna die, so be it! Fabian slapped them to defend me, anyway!
Helen planned to take a punch for Fabian. It wasn't that she doubted his capabilities, but no one would believe that a company's president would be on par with a basketball player with washboard abs.
Right when she slotted herself in front of Fabian, a hand pushed her to the side. Before she knew it, Fabian had struck Howard's stomach with his foot.
Howard was driven a few steps back. He felt a fiery pain right where Fabian kicked him. He couldn't believe that a guy shorter than him thrashed him. He darted his eyes at Helen who was thrown on the floor and put the blame on her.
