He reached out and gently patted Charlotte’s cheek, “You bitch, let me give you a piece of advice. If you don’t leave soon, one day you might find yourself dragged to a place where nobody can help you, and my buddies here will have some fun…”
As his voice trailed off, the group of hooligans behind him chuckled with a lewd tone, their gaze sinisterly fixed on Charlotte…
Emery quickly approached and bowed apologetically, “Zaire, I apologize for my daughter’s misbehavior. She didn’t mean to offend…”
“Please forgive us!”
He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Zaire, “It was our mistake not to inform you in advance, but there was no need for you to…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zaire swung a swift and vicious kick at him!
Emery toppled to the ground! He lay on his back, feeling a tremendous pressure in his chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood…
“Dad-” Charlotte’s face turned pale, and she hurried to support Emery.
“Who do you think you are, you old piece of crap? How dare you whine in front of me? I’ll just slit your throat!” Zaire delivered several more kicks.
Emery felt as if his bones were about to shatter…
“Let me tell you, this is only the beginning! Buddies, let’s teach them a lesson…”
The group of hooligans behind Zaire rushed forward and destroyed everything in sight, leaving chaos in their wake…
Charlotte watched it all with a mix of grief and anger. “You guys are completely the outlaws!”
Zaire sneered, “In this area, I am the law! I am the ruler!”
“Tomorrow, if I see you again, things won’t end so easily…”
“Go!” Zaire led his gang away triumphantly.
Charlotte felt a surge of anger, helplessness, and frustration…
“Dad! Dad! I’ll take you to the hospital first…”
The workers at the construction site looked fearful. “Miss Pittman, should we really confront them? These people are crazy. There’s no way we can win against them…”
“Don’t worry!” Charlotte clenched her teeth. “We’ll resume work as usual tomorrow. I’ll find a way to deal with them. They can’t continue wreaking havoc like this!”
Unbeknownst to them, Quentin witnessed everything that happened at the construction site.
He stood at a window about a hundred meters away, hidden yet able to observe everything clearly…
Today was Charlotte’s first day leading the team for an inspection, and Quentin had some concerns, so he secretly followed Eileen here…
And he happened to witness this scene!
Taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Quentin exhaled a puff of white smoke.
A coldness flickered in his eyes. “Eileen, immediately find out who these guys are and their backgrounds. Today, keep a close watch on them for me!”
Eileen nodded, “Yes, Mr. Holland. How many people should we deploy?”
“No need, I can handle them. It’s been… a while since I’ve had a good fight.”
“Now, let’s go over and see how Emery is doing.”
At the central hospital, Charlotte supported Emery, anxiously waiting in line.
“Charlotte!”
Suddenly, a voice called out, and Charlotte looked up to see Eric walking towards them with a smile on his face.
“Charlotte, Mrs. Pittman told me that Mr. Pittman got injured, so I rushed here to check on him.”
Eric proudly said, “I know the director of this hospital. I can arrange for Mr. Pittman to be seen quickly. Connections come in handy sometimes!”
Charlotte looked hesitant.
To be honest, she didn’t want to see Eric at all, let alone accept his favor. But right now, Emery was so badly injured…
“All right, I’ll appreciate your help.”
