Chapter 76 His True Nature

F*ck! Who the f*ck are you, bitch? How dare you kick me?!” The kick toppled Luca as he cried out in pain, while bewildered cries could be heard among the crowd as they looked at Kate and Gianna.

“Who are you? Why did you hit him?” “She made the first move!” “What an arrogant woman!” Unwilling to repeat the vile words Luca spouted, Kate explained the situation in simple terms as she glared at Luca, “I was trying to invite him to work on a photoshoot for our magazine, but he got all handsy, so I hit him out of anger.” Despite showing their sympathy toward Kate, everybody kept their silence while refraining from speaking ill of Luca due to his connections with investors and Metrostar Entertainment.

Luca wasn’t about to admit his wrongdoings while he rambled on, “Stop spouting nonsense! I did not get all handsy! You were the one who kept pestering me and making empty promises! I refrained from accusing you of seducing me, so how dare you bite back at me like that?”

“You’re the one who is spouting nonsense! I did not seduce you!” Kate was getting riled up. In the meantime, a sneer crept onto Gianna’s face while she observed Luca. “You’re ignorant for doing as you please without a care for your company’s image, and you’re a man without virtue for being arrogant and swearing in public! The fact that you bit back at my friend shows how unfair you are, while hitting a woman in public is proof of your shamelessness! How dare a lowly being like you create a ruckus here?”

“Just you wait, you obnoxious twat!” After he had a handful of insults thrown to his face, Luca left for a phone call after cursing at them, but Gianna didn’t seem to care as she led Kate to get some ice from a waiter before asking, “What happened back then?”

“He’s among the lowliest dregs of society. I was blind to have thought that he might be a nice guy by judging him using the image of the loyal man he portrayed on TV. Instead, he started off by asking me to introduce you to him because he fancied you, then he began touching my body while saying that he would consider my offer if the both of us are to sleep with him for the night. Isn’t he such an arrogant prick? So I gave him a slap out of fury, but I immediately regretted my actions.” “You don’t have to feel regret about it. I would even encourage you to slap him harder.” A look of contempt crept onto Gianna’s face.

“Now the cover for my next issue is gone!” Kate couldn’t help but feel dejected about it. “Scum like him is not fit for your cover anyway. Come, put some ice on your face as it’s all swollen. That b*stard sure hit you hard.”

“You ain’t half bad. He couldn’t stand for a while, so your kick must’ve hurt.”

“Serves him right!”

“But you shouldn’t have resorted to violence. It won’t do if you get into trouble over this since you just arrived here.” “Look at yourself! You shouldn’t be worrying about me! You should’ve asked me for help if you want to hit him, since you have such a small build.” The ice pack was pressed onto Kate’s face as Gianna spoke. A commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall garnered the attention of all guests as one of them squealed, “It’s Silas Nolan!”

“Wow, he is so handsome! Good gracious!”

“It must be his aura! Just look at how the people around him bend to his will!” “We can only look up at him!“ The voices of a few women garnered Gianna’s attention, and she gazed toward where the commotion was happening. Their position on the inner part of the hall determined that they could see what was going on outside clearly without exposing themselves.

It was indeed Silas who graced them with his presence in a dark colored suit. The look he wore was one of aloofness as he scanned his surroundings with a sharp gaze, which contributed to the air of a leader that he was born with. Following behind him meekly was Xavier and the rest who was aiming to flatter him. Silas was the embodiment of power and prestige in Summer City, and his presence dominated everywhere he arrived at, which included the banquet hall.
