Chapter 1698: Intolerable
Grizela knew what had happened and looked into the private room, her gaze landing on Joyce.
After observing for a moment, she glanced at Darrin and sneered, "Since your master is so capable, I
don't think he needs you to follow along. You're just like a decoration, a useless man."
Darrin had been trying to ignore her, but after hearing her words, he trembled with anger throughout his
body.
He retorted, "That's right. Men can't be relied on, so can only women be relied on? Just like your young
master. When the criminals took action, it was all thanks to my commander."
He paused for a moment and glanced at Grizela a few times. "Even the bodyguard hired is a woman,
huh?"
"You! That's too much!" Grizela, upon hearing Darrin mocking Reuben, couldn't contain her anger.
Without thinking, she swung her palm towards Darrin.
Darrin sidestepped, agilely avoiding her attack. He reached out to grab Grizela's wrist.
Unexpectedly, Grizela swiftly flipped her wrist, dodging his grasp and launching an attack towards
Darrin's waist.
Darrin's eyes sharpened, his body slightly bent, avoiding the attack once again. While dodging, he
extended his long leg, hooking onto Grizela's shin, intending to teach her a lesson.
At the same time, he scolded, "You're out of your mind! They're all right here, what kind of fight are we
having?"
Grizela, caught by his leg, became furious. She raised her elbow and aimed it at Darrin's chin.
"You dare to run your mouth. Today, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"
Due to the excessive force, when she raised her arm, she accidentally bumped into a decorative vase
behind her.
"Be careful!" Darrin exclaimed.
He didn't want to make too much noise and disturb Joyce and the others.
At this moment, his only thought was to ensure that the vase didn't fall to the ground.
His long arm quickly passed through Grizela's waist, but before he could dodge her attack, she struck
his chest with her elbow. He grunted, ignoring the pain, and extended his hand to firmly catch the falling
vase.
However, due to the weight shifting downwards, he ended up pressing against Grizela, using one hand
to support his body and the other to hold her waist.
Their close proximity, the touch of their skin, it was scorching hot. Grizela had never been in such close
contact with a man before. In a panic, she instinctively defended herself and grabbed onto his collar.
Darrin realized something was off.
He had accidentally touched her lips. Damn.
He wanted to stand up, but due to being hit in the chest earlier, he felt a dull pain and couldn't stand up
in time. This woman had been ruthless in her attack.novelbin
The loud noise naturally alarmed everyone.
Joyce, Luther, and Reuben turned their heads towards the sound, only to see Darrin and Grizela both
falling to the ground, tightly grasping each other. Darrin's hand was slightly raised, protecting a vase
that was on the verge of falling.
Joyce was the first to stand up and approached the door.
With concern, she asked, "Darrin, what happened? What were you two doing?"
Darrin finally crawled off Grizela, looking disheveled. He stood up and awkwardly explained, "The vase,
it almost fell. We both tried to catch it, but ended up colliding and falling."
He pointed at the vase in his hand, not knowing how to respond. He quickly put the vase back in its
original place.
At that moment, Grizela also quickly got up from the ground.
Her fair face was flushed, and her hair was in disarray. She used her hand to tidy her long hair and
pursed her lips without saying a word.
Reuben approached them and asked, "Grizela, what happened?"
"Ah." Grizela opened her mouth, unsure of how to explain.
Darrin scratched his head and came up with a reason, "Um, the vase was unstable just now and
almost fell. We both tried to catch it, but ended up bumping into each other and falling."
Joyce looked at Darrin with suspicion. The angle and position of their fall seemed strange. Grizela
wouldn't have had her back facing the vase, would she?
Although she had doubts, Joyce didn't expose Darrin. She smiled and said, "It's just a vase. As long as
everyone is okay, that's what matters. Be more careful."
"Yes." Darrin stood up straight and replied.
"Are you alright?" Reuben also looked at Grizela with surprise."No, Mr. Reuben. I'm fine," Grizela said.
She fanned herself with her palm and forced a smile. "It's a bit hot in here. I'll go outside for some fresh
air. I'll stay by the door."
After speaking, she crouched down and quickly moved to the outside of the door.
Their gazes met as they passed each other, causing them both to shudder and quickly look away.
Darrin also diverted his gaze. "Commander, sorry for the disturbance. Please continue with your meal.
I'll guard here."
Luther approached and pulled Joyce back, saying to Darrin, "You've worked hard."
Darrin replied, "It's my duty."
Once Joyce, Luther, and Reuben returned to their seats, Darrin let out a heavy sigh.
He instinctively touched his lips. The feeling from earlier was so peculiar-her lips were soft and warm,
completely contrasting her cold demeanor.
At the same time, a dull pain spread across his chest. He furrowed his brow, realizing that the woman
had been merciless in her attack.
The loud commotion naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Joyce, Luther, and Reuben turned to look, only to see Darrin and Grizela both falling to the ground,
tightly embracing each other. Darrin had one hand slightly raised, protecting a falling vase.
Joyce quickly stood up and approached the door.
She asked with concern, "Darrin, what happened? What were you two doing?"
Darrin finally climbed off Grizela, his handsome face disheveled. He stood up and awkwardly replied,
"The vase, it was about to fall. We both tried to catch it, but we ended up colliding and falling."
He pointed at the vase in his hand, not knowing how to explain. He quickly placed the vase back in its
original position.
At that moment, Grizela also quickly got up from the ground.
Her face was flushed, and her hair was in disarray. She used her palm to fan herself and gave a dry
laugh. "It's a bit hot in here. I, I'll go outside for some fresh air. I'll guard by the door."
After speaking, she quickly moved to the outside of the door.
Their gazes met again, and both of them froze for a moment.
Then, Grizela put on a look as if she wanted to devour him, raised her hand, and vigorously wiped the
corners of her lips. Her beautiful eyes glared at Darrin full of resentment.
"Bastard!" she muttered, "How dare you take advantage of me!"
Darrin felt a surge of anger, and his gaze was filled with disdain. "Who cares? It's a joke. I even despise
you."
"You! You have a foul mouth! Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson!" Grizela was filled with fury, her
eyes shooting out sparks.
"If you have the guts, come at me. But you have to be my opponent first," Darrin replied, uninterested.
He didn't want to engage with her anymore.
"Who do you think you're looking down on?" Grizela stomped her foot in anger.
Helpless, Darrin slammed the door shut, isolating her outside.
Damn it, she cursed.
She was determined to teach him a lesson and show him who was in control. This was intolerable.
