“I have wealth, influence, and education degree. I come from the prestigious Spencer family, while you are a waste of space from a bankrupt family.”
“Do you deserve her? Soon, your woman will belong to me. And you can only watch!” He laughed wildly, reaching out to touch Charlotte’s lovely face.
“You’re asking for trouble.” In response to Eric’s provocative gesture, Quentin’s eyes flashed with a cold light. With a swift movement, he forcefully broke Eric’s fingers.
“Ah!” A cry of agony echoed out.
Quentin grabbed Eric by the throat, lifting him off the ground.
The suffocating sensation made Eric frantically struggle in mid-air, his face turning a terrifying shade of blue. This scene left everyone in the private room dumbfounded.
Charlotte snapped out of her daze. “Quentin, what are you doing?”
“Touching my woman means death.” Quentin’s body exuded a murderous aura.
“You’ve gone mad!” Charlotte shouted, “He’s a member of the Spencer family! In Stresall, he’s much more formidable than you. If you harm him, do you really think you can escape?”
“Release him immediately. What? You won’t even listen to me?” Disappointment laced her voice.
Letting out a sigh, Quentin suppressed his anger and let go of Eric.
“Mr. Spencer!” Charlotte quickly helped Eric up. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! He didn’t mean it! Please don’t take it to heart…”
Witnessing Charlotte’s defense of Quentin, Eric boiled with jealousy.
He sneered. “Dare to touch me, and today, I’ll kill him! Charlotte, don’t get in my way! Otherwise, I guarantee his fate will be even more miserable…”
Hearing these words, Charlotte turned pale. There was no way Quentin could win against Eric now.
“Mr. Spencer, what do you want for this matter to be dropped?”
Eric grinned. “You want me to let him off the hook? Fine! Slap him a few times, make him kneel down and apologize, and I’ll consider sparing him.”
“Otherwise… with just a word from me, someone will end him in minutes!”
“You’re dead meat now.” Quentin had never suffered such humiliation. Was Eric, a good-for-nothing, really deserving of making him kneel down? He truly conceived the thought of killing Eric.
“Charlotte, step aside. I’m not afraid of him…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a resounding slap echoed in everyone’s ears. He was stunned.
“You… hit me for this guy!?” Quentin stared at Charlotte, pained and heartbroken.
“Quentin, please, see the reality!” She pleaded. “Do you still think you’re the wealthy young heir you once were? Now apologize immediately, and Mr. Spencer might spare you. Otherwise…”
“What if I don’t?” Quentin restrained his immense anger and retorted.
That slap on his face hurt him deeply.
“You…” Charlotte was infuriated. Couldn’t he see how she was helping him? “You’re simply unreasonable and don’t know the gravity of the situation!”
“As soon as I came in, I saw him hugging you, and you didn’t resist…” A heart-wrenching pain radiated from Quentin’s chest as he clenched his fists. “And now, you hit me for him…”
“I apologize for disturbing you. I’m sorry.” Suppressing his immense anger, he turned and left.
“Quentin, you…” Charlotte couldn’t believe he had stormed off like that.
But if he wanted to leave, let him go! How dare he vent his anger at her so recklessly? Wasn’t she doing it for his own good?
Seeing the two arguing, Eric smiled more smugly. He took the opportunity to put his arm around Charlotte. “Let’s continue.”
Charlotte promptly pushed his hand away. “Mr. Spencer, please show some restraint and don’t touch me.”
It was because of this guy that Quentin had misunderstood her…
Was she a bit too much just now?
After all, Quentin was a grown man. Was it too much to slap him in public?
But she did it to make Eric spare him. What did she do wrong?
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt and the more confused she became.
She directly took her bag and walked out.
“Charlotte!”
“Charlotte!”
Several voices called out from behind, but she paid no attention, not even turning her head.
Once outside, she frantically looked around, searching for Quentin’s figure. A tinge of anxiety and worry appeared on her face.
Unconsciously, this man had occupied a significant place in her heart, affecting her deeply.
Seething with frustration, Quentin returned to his car and lit a cigarette.
His eyes were filled with melancholy. There was a lingering pain in his chest…
When he received the message, he rushed over immediately.
He never expected to see Charlotte being so intimate with another man…
What’s more, Charlotte even slapped him! So he left in anger.
“Mr. Holland, I feel that Mrs. Holland isn’t what you think,” Eileen cautiously remarked.
Quentin remained silent. He also hoped that it wasn’t true, but the reality before his eyes sent him a heavy blow…
At that moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
“Quentin-” A woman stood on the roadside, looking flustered, searching all around.
Besides Charlotte, who else could it be?
His heart skipped a beat. Why did this foolish woman follow him?
He immediately opened the car door and got out.
Charlotte searched frantically for Quentin, her mind in a mess… Was he really angry and left? Was she really too much…
At that moment, a female’s mocking voice came from behind her, “Oh, isn’t this Charlotte? You shameless, worthless woman who has been expelled from the Pittman family, yet you dare to show up in such a high-end place? Disgusting! Do you even deserve to be here?”
Charlotte turned her head and saw a man and a woman striding arrogantly toward her.
