Female Novel
Chapter 2035
Pierre saw her and thought of what Luke looked like on the day of the bid.
His fists clenched tightly.
"Luca, it's only because of Luke that you dare to talk to me so wantonly. How dare you talk to me likethis now that he's not around and we're still in Russia?"
He was so proud that day. He held a grudge for being stepped on the ground by Luke and Luca. Hisheart would only feel more comfortable if he could get rid of this woman.
Vivian could understand some of the words he said. Considering the tone of the other party, she knewthat he was here to find fault. She hurriedly drove him away. "Sir, please leave. Don't disturb us fromenjoying our coffee."
Pierre raised his eyebrows and squinted at her. "No wonder you're so righteous. You have someone tostand up for you. Nevertheless, your helper is a bit ugly. She may have scared me if it was at night, butit's daytime now."
Vivian listened to his personal attack and got ready to stand up for herself. However, when she sawLuca shaking her head, she took a deep breath and stepped back.
"Second Young Master Mallory, even without Mr. Crawford backing me, I can deal with you with onehand. Have you forgotten?" Luca raised her hand and made a deliberate gesture toward him.
Pierre was startled as this was the action that had put him in pain for several days. Injections andmedicines in the hospital did not help at all.
That pain seemed to come from deep in his bones and nerves. It made him yearn for painkillers torelieve the pain. During that time, he was almost admitted to a mental hospital!
"Luca, how dare you?!" Pierre thought of all the suffering from before. He lost his mind, raised his fist,and was about to smash it into Luca's face.
He was careless the last time. This time, he planned to use his fighting skills to subdue Luca andprevent her from touching him in the slightest.
Luca looked at the fist that was going toward her face while Vivian yelled in shock. Before she couldhide, Pierre was grabbed by the bodyguard, and his fist stopped abruptly in midair.
Pierre was very annoyed. "Who the f*ck is it?!"
He looked back, and the four men in black sitting at the table next to him all stood up. One of them wasgrabbing his hand.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?" Pierre's flaming gaze was fixed on the four men infront of him.
Vivian's eyes flashed with admiration for the bodyguards' timely action. She was not someone wholiked to cause trouble, but the man in front of her was clearly here to pick a fight.
Since this was the case, she was not afraid to make a scene.
He was just a man. No matter how good he thought he was, he could never beat four bodyguards.Moreover, these four bodyguards worked closely with Ray and had undergone high-intensity training.Any one of them had no issue taking on three ordinary men on their own.
She stood up and said, "I don't care who you are. You won't be laying a finger on my friend."
Luca looked at Vivian in shock. She was surprised to see this side of her.
In the past, Vivian gave her the impression that she was submissive and always worried that she wouldcause trouble to others. Luca was surprised to see her stand up to protect others.
Vivian was truly Ray's sister. She acted valiantly and carried herself like a true Lacroix.
Pierre understood that the four bodyguards worked for Vivian.
He took a second look at the ugly woman in front of him.
'Who is she? She must be someone if she can bring four bodyguards with her when she goes out...How does Luca know such a woman?'
"Who are you?" Pierre started to take her seriously.
"You don't know my name, but my brother's name is Ray Lacroix. If you want to mess with my friend,my family won't let you off easily!" Vivian looked at him coldly.
She did not usually like to cause trouble, so she never used Ray's name to deter someone. After all,everyone who knew Ray knew her, mainly because of her appearance. As such, she did not need tomention Ray because no one would dare to provoke her.
This was the first time she brought up Ray.
However, the man in front of her did not look like he was from around here. Hence, Vivian was unsure ifusing Ray's name could stop him in his tracks.
'Ray Lacroix?'
Pierre's pupils shrank when he heard the name.
He had wanted to investigate whether Luke knew Ray to verify what Abel said.
There was no longer any need to launch an investigation now.
Ray's sister was drinking coffee with Luca, so Ray and Luke must know each other.
He was certain of it.
Vivian did not say anything when she saw that his expression turned sullen. She did not know if Ray'sname intimidated him, but regardless, the four bodyguards were here. Hence, she knew that he wouldnot dare to cause any trouble.
"Let go," Pierre warned the bodyguard with a stern expression and a low voice.
The bodyguard, who had been through a lot, was not affected at all. He had a serious expression andasked Vivian, "Miss, do you want us to get rid of this person?"novelbin
Their boss had instructed them that anyone who pissed Vivian off would be dead unless she shook herhead.
Vivian did not make a decision. Instead, she looked at Luca.
Luca shook her head. If they got rid of Pierre, the Mallory family would not let it go
Even though they were in Russia now, one could do anything as long as they had money.
If Pierre was dead, the Mallory family might spend a lot of money to get revenge on Ray. She could notbear to let Ray get into such a situation.
Besides, if anyone were to take action on Pierre, it should be Percy—not anyone else.
When she saw Luca shaking her head, Vivian said with a serious expression, "Let go of him. If thisgentleman wants to hurt my friend, carry him and throw him out."
"Yes, Miss." The bodyguard released his hand, and the four of them looked at Pierre in unison.
No matter how unhappy Pierre was, he did not dare to make a move under the gazes of the four sturdybodyguards.
"Luca, someday, you'll regret choosing Luke." He was livid and left after he warned her.
After the matter was resolved, Vivian said to the bodyguards, "Thank you for your hard work. Have aseat and enjoy your coffee. Make sure you don't disturb other guests."
"Yes, Miss." The bodyguards sat down. While they held the cups of coffee in their hands, their eyeswere looking around.
Luca also sat down and looked at Vivian apologetically. "Vivian, sorry. I didn't expect this to involve Mr.Ray."
"It's okay. I think that man is just talking nonsense. It won't have any effect on Ray. Besides, Ray seesBrother Luke as a friend so, of course, you're our friend too. I can't stand aside." Vivian smiled lightlyand soothed her.
"He's Mr. Crawford's business rival, and at the same time, he's also the younger brother of Mr.Crawford's close friend," Luca informed her of Pierre's identity.
"He's T Corporation's competitor and the younger brother of Brother Luke's friend? What a complicatedrelationship." Vivian frowned. She wondered why the younger brother of Luke's friend would treat Lucalike that and act hostile toward Luke. "Luca, I'm curious. What's the meaning of the gesture that you didto him just now?"
