Zoe and Mrs. Jacob, whose hand was gripped tightly, were utterly stunned by the sight.
Vincent was even more terrifying than those gangsters when he got angry.
He might look calm and composed, but he was scarier than Hades himself!
As he tightened his grip on Mrs. Jacob's wrist, she yelped loudly, "Let me go, or I'll call the cops! Zoe, are you okay? Get up..."
Zoe frantically got up from the floor. "Mom, I'm fine!"
After that, she looked at Vincent again. "Can you please let go of my mother? She's an elder. You can't do this to her!"
Seeing that the man did not budge, Zoe gritted her teeth and pleaded with Elaine.
"Elaine, ask your friend let go of Mom now! She was already terrified by what happened yesterday! She can't take it."
Looking at her mother, Elaine hissed in a flat tone, "Mom, I can ask him to let you go, but if you dare to hurt me again, I will retaliate."
At her remark, her mother roared, "B*stard! How
dare you... Ouch!"
Before she could finish, she yelped in pain again. "Fine! Ask him to let me go! I won't hurt you anymore!"
Having said that, she cursed in her mind, "This d*mned girl, I'll let her off the hook today, but I'll teach her a lesson when I get a chance!"
Looking at Vincent, Elaine motioned to him, "Let my mom go."
However, Vincent looked back at her and spat, "Do you think I'll do whatever you tell me to do?"
What?
She gasped in bewilderment.
With a sneer, he looked at Mrs. Jacob and warned her in a low voice, "From now on, if you dare to harass her again, you can say goodbye to this hand. Besides, she's your daughter. I know you're not a loving mother, but as long as she's here, you have to show her what kind of a loving mother you are. Do you understand me?"
Trembling with anger, Mrs. Jacob couldn't believe that there was such a domineering person.
What was his business about her dealing with her own daughter?
But she didn't dare to refute him as she would feel the sharp pain on her wrist whenever she moved the slightest.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she huffed, "Okay! I'll treat her well! Let go of me now! You nearly break my hand!"
With a sneer, Vincent shook off her hand.
Then, as if he had just touched something disgusting, he drew out the expensive and delicate handkerchief in his pocket, wiped his hands, and tossed it aside like a piece of trash.
Turning his head at the astounded Elaine, he urged, "Say what you want to say, and we'll leave."
Almost immediately, Zoe came to her senses and gushed, "What's the hurry? Why don't you stay for lunch?"
She looked at Vincent flirtatiously as if she wished to stick to him.
However, Howard seemed not to notice her intense gaze and jabbed, "You are so nasty. I'm afraid you'll poison my food, so no thanks."
Again, Elaine stared at him, bewildered.
If it weren't for this occasion, she would have laughed out loud.
Zoe's expression changed dramatically. "W- What are you talking about? How could we poison you? We're a family." "Oh? So you do know that you are a family, huh?" A smile appeared on his face, but his eyes were frigid and sharp.
Zoe gasped, speechless.
While rubbing her wrist, Mrs. Jacob snapped, "Zoe, why bother? It's a waste of food to make them stay for lunch. Let them go!"
Frantically, Zoe tugged on her mother's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, Elaine came with that car outside, and it's worth a few million dollars!"
Mrs. Jacob was an ignorant countrywoman, but not Zoe.
