Sandra and Audrea, who had been waiting to be entertained, looked over at him in surprise.
"Johnson, w-what's going on?"
"Why did you let him go! Johnson, we..."
He snorted coldly as he glared at Audrea and Sandra. He snapped, "Tell me, what exactly happened just now?"
"Johnson, it's us who were being bullied! Why are you..." They both exclaimed in surprise.
"Shut up, you guys don't know how big of a trouble you've caused," Johnson shouted. He then walked over to Gentro and inquired about the details of the incident.
Gentro told him the whole story. After listening to him, Johnson glared at Audrea, Sandra, and Sinclair. He said sternly, "How dare you put the blame on Mr. Chen when you were the ones who provoked him in the first place. Now, apologize to him. If Mr. Chen doesn't forgive you, you'd better not come back."
"Johnson, why are you..." Audrea and Sandra looked reluctant, feeling aggrieved.
He glared at them and shouted, "Are you guys not going to listen to me now? Or do you want me to personally make you apologize?"
In the end, Audrea was still fearful of her cousin, and did not dare to say anything. She bowed her head and apologized. When Sandra and Sinclair saw this, they followed suit.
Fade had no interest in arguing with them. After a few simple warnings, he got up and left. Gentro and Johnson hurriedly and respectfully sent Fade and Joey away.
After watching them disappear, Gentro and Johnson returned to the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at them in disbelief, with confusion written all over their faces.
They wondered why the two of them were being so respectful towards a brat like Fade, and even acted as if they feared him.
Audrea and Sandra felt extremely infuriated. As daughters of big and well- known families in Capital City, they had been embarrassed in public. Moreover, instead of getting sweet revenge, they were scolded, which was unacceptable for them.
Audrea lowered her head, looking discontented. She ignored Johnson even when she saw him coming.
He knew that she was angry with him, so he sighed softly and asked in a gentle tone, "Audrea, are you still angry with me?"
"I'm not angry!" She replied furiously. "Anyway, I've been beaten and humiliated. It's not a big deal. What's there to be angry about?"
Upon hearing this, he replied, "Audrea, I'm your cousin. Do you really think that I wouldn't be considerate of you?"
"Johnson, why are you still..." She looked puzzled.
He then replied, "Actually, I did this for your own good! Mr. Chen's status is not ordinary. He's not someone whom you can offend as you please."
"What's so special about him? He is just a brat who came to Capital City from somewhere else, isn't he?" Both Audrea and Sandra responded in confusion.
Johnson's face fell as he quickly cut them off, "That's definitely not the case. Let me tell you, don't let his appearance deceive you about Mr. Chen's strength and identity."
"It will do you no good to upset him. It'll only bring trouble to both of our families," Johnson continued. "Sandra, if you don't believe me, think about Centro's behavior. Why is he so respectful to Fade? Do you think that your cousin is a fool?"
