âAhh!â
Hailey covered her mouth. Shock was written all over her charming face.
Just now, Greg had forced her to drink quite a lot of wine, and she had to suppress her anger.
That was why she had done something like that while intoxicated.
She had not been in control of herself at all!
Lucy was shocked. She scolded, âHailey Lester, you b*tch! I was so kind as to introduce Mr. Dover to you, and now, you f*cking hit him? Are you insane?â
Lucy was scared that Greg would put the blame on her.
Thus, she immediately cut all ties with Hailey the first chance she was able to.
Even though they had grown up together and relied on one another in the orphanage, they had parted ways after growing up.
The friendship they had had when they were small was now worth nothing many years later.
Hailey did not know what to do, âI⦠I donât know what happened. I hit him on instinct.â
Her charming face was white, and she felt extremely remorseful.
Her best friend Linda stood up for her. âMr. Dover, Hailey had too much to drink, so she was not in her right mind. Please donât stoop down to her level. Let me apologize to you by downing this.â
Linda raised her glass to Greg.
Clarence was moved.
He thought Linda was a snobbish woman. He had not expected her to stand up for Hailey.
It shocked Clarence.
âF*ck off!â
Greg slapped Linda, and she fell to the ground. âWho do you think you are? F*ck! This woman has the guts to hit me? Do you know who I am? F*ck you!â
Greg was akin to an enraged boar as he approached Hailey.
Hailey took a step back subconsciously, shaking.
The people around them were either smirking or glued to watching the scene unfolding in front of them.
A few of her childhood friends from the orphanage wanted to do something but stopped themselves. As they were about to say something, they swallowed their words.
They could not even protect themselves, so how could they dare to stand up for Hailey?
âWho do you think you are? Do you know who I am? How dare you slap me in front of all these people? Youâve completely embarrassed me! If I donât teach you a lesson today, how am I supposed to continue my career in this circle?â
With every sentence Greg spoke, he took a step closer to Hailey.
Hailey kept backing away until her back was pressed against the wall of the private room.
The man smirked, displaying a sinister expression on his face. âArenât you all that? Slap me again! Come on!â
Gregâs face looked as malevolent as a ferocious wolf, while Hailey was like a harmless bunny.
âSlap me! Do it! Come on! Continue slapping me!â Greg roared.
Hailey had never been in a situation like this before, and she was scared stupid.
Greg laughed meaningfully. âYou donât have the guts anymore?â
Slap!
After he said that, a loud slap was heard. Greg stumbled back, flying three or four meters away. He crashed into a wine table, looking a sorry sight.
Clarence walked over and shielded Hailey behind him. âIâve lived so long on this Earth, yet Iâve never heard such a request before. Hailey, since he asked you to slap him, you should satisfy him. Use all of your might and donât go easy on him.â
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Clarence in disbelief, their eyes about to pop out of their eye sockets.
Hailey stood behind Clarence, looking at his back.
She felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
As an orphan, this was the first time she had learned how it felt to be protected.
Hailey was very touched, the alcohol she had downed only intensifying the feeling.
Lucy was shaking from anger. âClarence, are you insane? How dare you slap Mr. Dover?â
Linda also looked at Clarence in shock. She was in complete disbelief. âHow could you hit him? Donât you know youâre just making things worse? You lunatic, youâve now created a huge problem for Hailey!â
A clinic doctor had dared to slap Mr. Dover?
He had to be insane!
Did he think he was a hero saving a damsel in distress?
No, she could not let Clarence end up with Hailey. This man was hot-headed and never used his brain.
Something bad would happen to him sooner or later.
Mr. Dover got up, his face swollen. âKid, how dare you hit me⦠You and this b*tch... Damnâ¦â
Clarenceâs face darkened, and he kicked Greg. âBad-mouthing us again, huh?â
Thud! âYou keep calling her a b*tch and swearing at her. Do you respect women at all?â
Thud! âDonât you have a mother?â
Thud! âYou keep swearing like a sailor even though you look like a cultured man. Donât you know how to watch your mouth? Do you know how to respect women?â
Thud! âHailey is my friend! Itâs fine if you force her to drink.â
Thud! âBut now you even want to hit her?â
Thud! âWho do you think you are? Tell me.â
Clarence finally felt better after kicking Greg more than ten times in one go.
Greg lay on the floor, his face bruised and swollen. He begged for mercy while sobbing. âBoo hoo, I was wrong. Please stop hitting me. Just let me go like the gnat I am.â
Clarence laughed in anger. âYou useless thing. You bully the weak but fear the strong. Do you only dare to fight back when itâs with a woman? Hailey, letâs go.â
Clarence grabbed Haileyâs hand and walked out of the room. The room was foul, and he did not want to stay there for even a second longer.
Hailey lowered her head. She felt a little dizzy. She allowed Clarence to lead her away from the hotel.
After they left the hotel, Clarence looked at the intoxicated Hailey. âWhere do you live? Iâll send you home. You had too much to drink, so you should go back and sleep.
âIf you want, you can still go for the interview at Glorious tomorrow. I know someone in Glorious too, so it wonât be a problem getting you in.â
Hailey thought Clarence was just comforting her.
Clarence was just a disciple in a clinic, so how would he know anyone from Glorious?
Let alone a higher-up who could pull strings when it came to interviews.
However, she did not accuse him of lying. âThank you, Clarence, but I donât want to go back yet. I want to go for a ride, but I drank alcohol, so I canât driveâ¦
âCan you drive me?â The woman lifted her head and looked at Clarence with tearful eyes.
Clarence was shocked, but he nodded. âOkay.â
He took out his phone and called a number. âHello, Gunther, bring me my car.â
About ten minutes later, Gunther drove Clarenceâs car to the hotel.
âMr. Howard, your car is here.â Gunther was very respectful as he handed the car keys to Clarence.
Hailey had grown even more intoxicated after standing in the cold wind.
She did not look at Clarenceâs car properly as she climbed into the passenger seat groggily.
At the same time, Greg walked out of the hotel with a group of people. He was cursing non-stop. âDamn it, who is that kid? Iâll find him even if I have to turn Mediterranean City upside down! How dare he slap me! Heâs digging his own grave! If he doesnât run fast, Iâll get someone to chop him into pieces!â
Suddenly, a woman pointed to the roadside weakly. âMr. Dover, I think theyâre still here.â
Everyone looked in the direction the woman was pointing in and saw a Lamborghini by the roadside.
Clarence was coincidentally helping Hailey into the passenger seat when they all looked over.
Greg shuddered. âIs that⦠a Lamborghini Veneno?â
Clarence got into the driver seat, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.
