Chapter 137
Ian's response was swift as he spoke with a quick wit, "Sire, Ms. Garcia, I left my phone in the private room. Youboth go ahead and wait in the car. I'll go back and get it; I'll be right there."
As his words trailed off, Jean's expression remained indifferent as he looked at Neera.
"Should we go now, or do you want to wait here?"
Without any doubt, Neera shook her head, "No, just the thought of being in the same space as that guy feels sounlucky. Let's go wait in the car."
Jean nodded and turned to leave. novelbin
As they descended the stairs, Neera could sense a low-pressure aura emanating from the man, accompanied by asubtle chill. She felt a bit puzzled.
Why did this man seem somewhat angry...?
But then again, shouldn't he be angry with her?
Besides, Ian had already taken care of the guy, so why was he still upset?
...
As Ian turned back, he caught Zachary propping himself against the wall and angrily kicking the unconsciousFrancis on the ground.
"You useless piece of trash! Can't even handle such a simple task! What good are you?!"
Thinking about how he was humiliated by Neera and that insignificant pretty boy, Zachary seethed with rage,gritting his teeth.
"Dare to lay a hand on me! They have no idea what's coming next time I see them, I'll make them..."
"What will you do?"
Just as Zachary vented his frustration, Ian suddenly appeared, picking up where Zachary left off.
He was startled, almost losing his footing and almost falling to the ground. Hastily, he steadied himself againstthe wall and angrily demanded, "Why are you back? What do you want?!"
Ian leisurely approached, a mocking smile on his face as he spoke, "My Sire isn't pleased, so..."
He extended his hand with a seemingly friendly expression and cut Zachary off, "I'll shake your hand."
Before Zachary could react, Ian grabbed his hand without any hesitation and continued, "...and give you a firmhandshake."
With that, he applied force to Zachary's hand.
In the next second, a loud "crack" echoed through the entire floor as Zachary's right forearm snapped!
"Ahhhh!!!"
His agonizing scream reverberated through the entire building. Zachary was in excruciating pain, his face turning
pale, and he was barely conscious as large beads of sweat rolled down his face like a torrential downpour.
Seeing him in this pitiful state, Ian clapped his hands in satisfaction before leaving with an air of arrogance,having settled the score.
Back in the car, Neera and Jean waited for a while before Ian returned.
Soon, the car started, leaving the club behind.
On the way back, Neera sent a message to Levi.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I'm heading back first. Let everyone know they don't need to wait for me and canenjoy the rest of the night. Put all the bills tonight under my name."
In the private room, Levi saw the message and felt a bit regretful for missing the chance to send her home.
However, he quickly perked up again.
After all, Neera was back in the country now and happened to be in charge of this branch office. They would haveplenty of time to spend together in the future.
...
Meanwhile, Neera let out a sigh of relief after explaining. She turned to Jean and thanked him, "Thank you fortonight. I appreciate it."
Jean responded calmly, "No need to thank me. After all, you are my 'wife' in name, and if something were to
happen to you, it wouldn't be a good thing for me either..."
As he spoke, a hint of darkness flickered in his jet-black eyes, and he squinted slightly.
"Furthermore, I hope you understand that even though our marriage is a contract, it appears real to the outsideworld. So, you still need to be mindful of your behavior and actions in public. At the very least... no more flirtingwith other men openly. It's for the benefit of both of us."
Hearing this, Neera furrowed her brows in confusion, "When did I... flirt with other men openly?"
Jean didn't mince his words, "Tonight, you were together with a man in the private room at the club, weren'tyou?"
Neera was taken aback and then realized whom he was referring to – Levi. She couldn't help but find it hilarious.
What was he thinking? How did her actions with Levi become flirting?
