Chapter 358 Knight In Shining Armor
As Thomas spoke he caught sight of Lily Its no wonder Mr. Grange was so bold today It looks like hes on a date with his goddess Are you trying to put on a tough guy act for her he sneered mockingly
All of a sudden he reached out and grabbed Lily by her waist Ms Lily why dont you keep me company instead
Unfortunately I already have a customer who I must tend to Mr York Why dont we drink together on another day Lily replied with an apologetic smile
Now that Ive found the perfect golden goose theres no way Im going to let this opportunity go to waste
Slap
Without warning Thomas sent his palm across Lils cheek The audacity of a s*ut like you to deny my advances
The slap was unexpected for Lily She held onto her reddened cheek and stared at Thomas in indignance Even so she could not muster the courage to retaliate
At the same time Jared merely glanced away pretending like he saw nothing He had no intention to swoop in and rescue her like a knight in shining armor After all he barely knew Lily
In stark contrast Oliver could not turn a blind eye Lily had always been the woman of his dreams Hence he couldnt stomach the sight of his beloved goddess being slapped by Thomas
Thomas let Lily go right this instance Are you still a man for hitting a woman Oliver snarled as he advanced toward Thomas with a wine bottle in hand
Bang
The moment Oliver finished his sentence one of Thomass fellow subordinates lashed his foot out at Oliver You brat How dare you speak to Mr York in such a rude tone
A dark expression loomed across Olivers face Gritting his teeth he lunged at Thomas with the sole intention of smashing the wine bottle on the latters head Ill kill you all he roared
Right then Oliver was living up to the role of a knight in shining armor Regardless of the consequences he wanted to leave Lily with a good impression of his bravery
Yet the wine bottle hit empty air Not only did Oliver miss but Thomas managed to pluck the wine bottle from his grip All of a sudden their roles were reversed as Thomas mercilessly swung the bottle at Olivers head
The sudden turn of events left Oliver so shocked that he remained rooted to the spot and resigned to his fate
Before the bottle could collide against Olivers skull however Jared who had remained motionless this entire time finally made his move He suddenly clasped his fingers around Thomass wrist and yanked the latter backward Immediately piercing pain shot up Thomass arm forcing him to release the wine bottle
Drinking is supposed to be a fun activity Why are you ruining the fun over a scarlet woman Jared released Thomas before moving to stand protectively in front of Oliver
Since Oliver was Walters grandson Jared couldnt disregard the situation
Thomas fumed in rage when he noticed his bruised wrist Gritting his teeth he snarled Who the hell are you Tell me your name right now
Mr York hes Oliverls brotherinlaw This man is nothing but an arrogant upstart Lily hissed as she shot a venomous glare at Jared
Earlier Jareds dismissive remark about her had caused a dent in her ego
Youre Lizbeths boyfriend Thomas sized him up with a mocking sneer You know just because Lizbeth is an investigator doesnt mean that youre some bigshot In my eyes shes as insignificant as a speck of dust In fact she cant even hold a candle to this woman right here Thomas grabbed Lils chin as he spoke
Immediately Jarreds eyes narrowed dangerously A menacing aura emanated from his body when he heard Thomass insult Promptly he kicked Thomas in the chest and sent him flying
Whoosh Thomas soared in the air for several meters before he came crashing down onto a table The weight of his body instantly reduced the table to smithereens
Ahh Startled by the collision all the other guests scrambled for their lives
With great effort Thomas managed to crawl back to his feet He felt like his entire body was going to fall apart KKill him he ordered furiously
Thomass subordinates were about to leap into action when suddenly a cold voice echoed from behind Who Whats causing all this nuisance at my bar Dont you know who owns this bar
