In his furious mortification, the two quickly became entangled in a brawl. Though the woman had seemed gentle and demure earlier, once engaged in a fight, she was no less fierce than any virago.One had to be more than simple to survive in the tumultuous entertainment world. When provoked, this woman pulled no punches, going for the eyes, ears, spitting and biting, every dirty trick employed.Soon, Grant's face was left scratched and bloodied while he could barely fight back. Although he had studied some taekwondo and kickboxing, those skills were useless against this hellcat. She dominated him all the way, thrashing him soundly. What an entertaining spectacle it was.Just then, the private room door suddenly opened from outside. A middle-aged man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses strode in, followed by several bodyguards.Seeing the brawling pair before him, he was so incensed he nearly kicked Grant, though he truly wanted to kick the damn annoying brat to death. With this fool

Those who had boasted of wealth and assets earlier were now cowards. Only they knew their true net worth despite the bragging and posturing. In truth, none could afford even a fraction of the bill, let alone the full amount.What to do now? They thought of Justin, the true rich man who just casually paid over $6 million without blinking. This remainder must be pocket change to him. Yet none dared approach to borrow money after the earlier spectacle, chillingly fresh in memory. This was a true ruthless figure. They had also insulted Justin more or less, so asking to borrow now would surely end disastrously. At best they might leave skinned alive.Everyone hesitated until Derek sighed and stepped forward."Justin, help us out. I know some said unpleasant things earlier, but we're classmates for three years after all. Do it for my sake."Hearing this, many cast Justin eager, hopeful looks. Though his impressions of them were poor, with Derek's plea, it would be rude to refuse. So Justin

"Who?! Who dares such shameless misconduct? Bring him out! I'll flay him alive!" Manager Joshua was drenched in cold sweat now, yelling furiously in the lobby. But the fat man had long since disappeared from sight. Finally, Joshua got the story from another customer and learned the Mediterranean man had provoked this VIP. Furious, he stormed behind the counter, dragged out the cowering offender and flung him before Justin.But Justin did not even glance at him. Instead, he turned to Derek:"Boss, why are there so many people in this world who enjoy looking down on others? We were just dealing with an annoying issue, and now this crops up?""Forget it. Seems there's another bank next door. Let's withdraw there instead. Sigh, for future business partnerships, I should look to other banks. Can't afford to provoke these haughty Libertas fellows!"With that, he headed for the exit with Derek. Panicking, Joshua rushed to obstruct their path, smiling and placating:"Gentlemen, miss, this wa

"Why are you still fighting over this? You're like rabid dogs fighting over scraps," Justin sneered. "My boss already told you - he wants nothing more to do with you people. This money stays with us, so abandon your pathetic pipe dreams."But Trinity refused to back down. "On what grounds does he get to just walk away after so many years together? Is my daughter so worthless that he can just toss her aside like garbage? I don't think so. Even if they're breaking up, we deserve compensation for the emotional and youthful trauma Kimberly has endured," she declared stubbornly.At this point, even Justin had to laugh at the absurdity. He had dealt with shameless people before, but never someone so completely devoid of dignity. Trinity had promised Kimberly to two different suitors, shamelessly stringing them both along as backups. And now she had the audacity to make even greater demands? Justin had never witnessed such gall.Noticing Justin's hardened resolve, Derek's confidence seemed t

"Hmph, dare to do the deed but not admit it? Your mom already promised you to me in marriage, and the wedding was set for next week. Now you've run off with this man, disgracing me utterly. If not adultery, then what is it?" "You fart!" Derek angrily cursed as well, face dark. It was clear he was genuinely furious. Since Justin had known Derek, he had always been good-tempered, considering himself a gentleman who valued propriety. To hear him throw decorum to the wind and curse unrestrained showed this matter had crossed his bottom line. "Oh, I haven't even gotten to you yet, you punk. Who the hell are you to steal Preston's woman? Looking to die? Go ask around, who in Nova City doesn't know Preston? Let me tell you, Viper is my boss. Don't believe I could call over hundreds of men to teach you a lesson?""Oh, what's that stench in this fine restaurant? Did someone's cesspool explode? So much foul odor, it's unbearable. I should lodge a complaint about the poor hygiene here. Believe
