Chapter 93
Kenny was so pissed off that he almost hit him again. If Ava hadnât stopped him, he might have pummeled Blake so badly that heâd need another surgery When Blake found out that Herman was the one who beat him up, he was scared shitless.
They were both rich kids, but the gap between them was enormous.
Blake was a party animal, while Herman was a standalone leader. He had spent three years turning Elysian Technologies into a top dog in the industry Hermanâs ruthlessness was legendary in their circle. So, when these rich kids saw him, theyâd automatically steer clear
Though they seemed to be in the same circle, they werent on the same level anymore
âNo way. I didnât hear that Herman got hitched. Whoâs the lucky lady?â
Blake was kicking himself. He shouldnât have messed with Hermanâs woman. It was like poking a bear.
âWho knows what goes on in Hermanâs head? Maybe he just wants a quiet life with his wifeâ
Kenny said, âShielding your wife from all the outside interference is not something just anyone can do. Tomorrow, youâre coming with me to apologize to Hermanâs wife. If she doesnât forgive us, the Ledford family is toastâ
Word spread about Blake getting his ass handed to him at Eclipse Lounge.
Now the whole circle was buzzing about who had the guts to send Blake to the hospital.
There were quite a few people in the circle who had been bullied by Blake. Seeing him get a taste of his own medicine made them happy, but they also felt sorry for whoever punched him.
Whoever had the balls to hit Blake wouldnât get away with it.
The incident was a big deal, and the news spread fast. Selena heard about it too.
When Selena found out that Anastasia had caused trouble and beat up Blake, she was also a bit scared. But she thought, what did this have to do with me?
How could a newbie be compared to her, the chief designer?
She had sent Anastasia to find Everlee, not to get into a fight with Blake.
Thinking about this made Selena feel much better. This time, the company would surely fire Anastasia. She had caused such a big loss for the company. As a mere assistant, Selena didnât believe the company would keep her around.
Anastasia was also worried about losing her job.
It was already 2 am, and Herman hadnt come back. Anastasia was on pins and needles, no matter how Katelyn tried to soothe her.
After Lauren managed to shake off those people, she heard about what happened and called Anastasia.
âAnastasia, are you okay?â Lauren asked worriedly on the phone. Those guys stole my phone, and I was locked in a room. I just got out. I heard something happened. Are you okay?â
âIâm fine, Lauren, Thank youâ
Anastasia was really grateful. Even in such a situation, Lauren had chosen to protect her. Even though Lauren had been taken away, Anastasia remembered her kindness.
âIâm glad youâre okayâ Lauren sighed in relief. I heard Blake is in the hospital with serious injuries, and the people at Eclipse Lounge are looking for the
Lounge person who hit him. Do you know who it was?â
Anastasia didnât say it was Herman. She couldnât betray Herman. She just said, âLauren, Iâm sorry, I canât tell you.â
Lauren said, âI understand. Whoever it is, youâd better tell him to lay low. If Blake finds him, there could be serious consequences.â
Thanks for the heads-up.â
After hanging up, Anastasia was very worried, âWill Herman be arrested?â
Katelyn laughed, Ana, donât worry. Herman will be back soon, donât stress out.â
Just as she finished speaking, the door opened, and in walked Herman
Katelyn said. See, I told you heâd be back shortly. Herman, now that youâre back, Iâll leave you two aloneâ
Katelyn wisely gave them some space.
