2024-04-03 01:16:41He wanted to ask her why she seemed so mad to see him but could only swallow his questions because of her burning gaze. It made him feel uncomfortable all over. He couldn't pinpoint what he did wrong in any way.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Scarlett " to check on you" Lyon replied reasonably but this seemed to annoy Scarlett even more,he was dumbfounded by this.
"How did you know I was actually here?" Asked Scarlett a little suspiciously "I found out through my….."he couldn't say he found out through his butler,that will sound a little unbelievable,if his butler knew so much then he can't be from a normal family and she might become even more suspicious for why he worked at a restaurant while his family seem so rich.
"By someone,he has a very vast connection so he found out what happened when I asked him for it" he replied, deciding against talking about his background for now.
"Really?" Scarlett raised an eyebrow sarcastically and Lyon frowned,why did he feel like she just didn't believe him but also thought he had something to do with what happened to her?
"Really?" She raised her voice this time around and Lyon looked at her burning gaze again.
"Or you just want to play the knight? Wasn't it you who paid those people to ruin my business? Because I've always been strict? I knew I was not the best boss but you shouldn't have been so bad to do that! You ruined my business and nearly killed innocent peoples" she yelled with tears in her eyes.
"Who told you that?" He was shocked "who told me? Does it matter? You don't want to admit it? Where were you that day? I've been calling you to ask about your health for the past one week ,and even before it happened you didn't pick up my calls, clearly you are mad at me but why didn't you just take that anger out on me? Why did you have to involve innocent people? Who told me? You have the gut to ask that and even lie about finding out what happened from someone? I didn't know you were such a bloody person!" She yelled.
"Calm down Scarlett,the doctor told you not to shout or stress yourself out" cautioned Bryan while a mocking smile played on his lips when he looked at Lyon but they quickly changed to a concerned expression when he faced Scarlett.
"How did you find this place? You came here because you just want to frame Bryan and put the blame on him. You are such a liar and a bad person,I won't forgive you for ruining my family's only source of income, you bastard!" She yelled in anger while Bryan quickly embraced her.
Lyon took in a deep breath,glanced at Noah who's still struggling on the floor then at Cyrus who's grinning stupidly then at Bryan who's hugging Scarlett and clearly taking advantage of her,but Scarlett seems not to notice this.
He suddenly felt a rush of anger,he would have taken it if they just decided to lie,but they wanted to frame him and then used him as a stepping stone to someone's heart and even ruined his image. He will teach them a lot of lessons on who to and not to mess with.
He suddenly attacked Cyrus completely ignoring the curses and screaming of Scarlett. He will explain everything to her later,but he won't forgive these idiots for beating him up and then trying to ruin his name and make him the bad guy just to take advantage of someone.
He hit Cyrus directly on the head with his elbow which caused a huge pain to the latter and he couldn't help but cry out.
Lyon didn't stop there,he punched him till his face was all bloody and he could hardly even breath,his nose and teeth were all broken.
He turned to Bryan to try to hug Scarlett even tighter just to look like the hero" let her go or I will make sure every hospital in this city throws you out without a treatment" he said darkly while Bryan didn't say a word in reply.
"Bastard!" He cursed when he suddenly realized something, Bryan was holding a little dagger to Scarlett's back with a smirk clearly showing him he would stab scarlet if he tried to touch him.
"Don't you dare! If even a hair misses on her head,I will directly make your family suffer" he threatened.
"Oh,what a big word! I'm so scared" Bryan laughed then sneered. He suddenly turned Scarlett around,held her in a chokehold from behind with the other hand pointing the dagger at her neck,this shocked and scared Scarlett witless.
"How dare you come here to make trouble for me? Jasper said I could kill you if you misbehave, and how dare you even show your face after I beat you brainless last week.I even heard you got sent to the hospital and spent a week in a coma. Such a thing came here to threaten me? Such big moves, I'm really scared" he's clearly mocking her.
"And what if I really did all the things you accused me of? Where's the evidence? And this bitch? I like her and I just want to fuck her, nothing else,but I hate when others also eye what I already eyed, everything was so perfect,I wonder how you found out and this idiot? She ran to inform others rather than leaving and saving her life first,what a big fool!" He sneered while Scarlett could only stare in horror.
"Let her go," Lyon said, " and if I refused? Remember if you take a step closer, that's a call for death for this beautiful young lady " he laughed like a maniac.
"What do you want?" Lyon couldn't bear to see a dagger so close to Scarlett's neck and step back voluntarily.
"What do I want? Oh,no no, it's supposed to be what you want but anyway I want you to turn around and leave this place,don't say a word to anyone outside or she dies,how does that deal sound?" He asked and Lyon looked at Scarlett,the poor girl looked even more frightened than a chicken about to get slaughtered,she couldn't even move a muscle .
"Ok" he said simply but inside his mind,he was so mad that all he wanted to do was beat this stupid guy into anything useless.
"Oh,good good,now go out,out" Bryan kept smiling while Lyon took three steps back then glanced at Scarlett again,he really didn't want anything to happen to the girl.
Suddenly his phone rang and everyone present frowned including himself but except the completely frozen Scarlett, who's calling him?
"Who did you talk to before coming here?" Bryan suddenly had a bad feeling about that unanswered phone call, he wouldn't want to be right if this guy had really called the cops on him,he won't be able to defend himself with all the evidence pointing at him.
"Tell me who you called or I will directly slit her throat,you are playing with her life of you refused to say the truth" he threatened" I really called no one, maybe it's just a random call,look at it,the number isn't even saved on my phone " he showed the number calling again to Bryan but he knew clearly whose number that was, that's his butler's number.

Lyon waited for almost thirty minutes before two policemen came into the room,they didn't look aggressive in any way and they simply took Jasper without even a word to wither Lyon or Benita.

Lyon looked at him and thought "did she even loved me before,how can she protect a criminal just to make sure I'm miserable?" He chuckled sadly. "No we didn't, he's a rapist unless you can call a rapist the victim" replied another man who walked into the room,also in a uniform. "Rapist? Are you mistaken?
