"Not only do I dare to beat you, but I can also suspense you from work. Believe me?" Nathan asked coldly.
Everyone was shocked upon hearing that.
Russell's face darkened along with a few of them who knew Nathan's true identity.
He reached out to Herman and helped him up. "Mr. Cross, Commissioner Franck is drunk. He didn't mean a thing."
He then proclaimed, "Come, let's give a toast to Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith! Let bygones be bygones!"
Russell was trying to save Herman from the mess he created.
But Herman was still mad and spurned Russell's offers of help.
He pushed Russell away as he berated, "I'm not drunk! How dare he hit me? You want me to give him a toast now? What the hell is this? I know Cross Group is your biggest client. So, of course, you would side with him! But I'm not done with him yet. Don't interfere in our matters. Or else, I'll get even with you for this!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard him.
"Yeah, he's right. Don't interfere in our matter today. We have unfinished business to deal with," Nathan sneered.
Russell was in a dilemma; he had been just trying to make peace. "Mr. Cross, please, do me a favor. Don't take his words seriously."
However, Nathan simply nodded his head silently. He grabbed his goblet and poured the wine on the floor. "Get him to lick the wine. Only then will I forgive him and let him go."
Herman's eyes widened.
He's crazy. He's a nasty son-of-a-bi***!
How could he ask me to lick the wine on the floor after beating me? Did he forget he has businesses within my territory? He's only a businessman!
"How dare you insult me like this!" Herman reproached.
Nathan sneered, "Treat others the way you want to be treated. You get what you deserved. Don't you know what it means? How dare you take liberties with my wife? I have no choice but to teach you a lesson! Do it, or I shall never forgive you!"
Herman was growing more and more infuriated.
