The young man who was called Mr. Taylor grabbed the manager's collar. "Hey! You d*mn fatty, how dare you talk back, huh?"
Just as Mr. Taylor's fist was about to fall on him, the receptionist who led Patrick and Amelia out of the elevator shouted, "Manager! President Hopper is here!"
The receptionist's yell stopped Mr. Taylor's fists from attacking his target.
The manager stared at the fist, which was only a few centimetres away from the tip of his nose. He was quite glad that Mr. Hopper had come in time!
"You're lucky!" Mr. Taylor pushed the manager away angrily. The few youths behind him also stopped their suppression of the security guards and turned to confront Patrick with Mr. Taylor.
But Patrick made nothing of these few lads from the beginning.
He held Amelia's hand and came to the crowd. Without looking at Mr. Taylor and others, he directly asked the manager, "Where is Sixth Kennedy?"
Sixth Kennedy, real name Pablo Kennedy, was the sixth child in the family. His superiors would call him 'Six'. But those who were inferior to him would call him 'Boss Sixth'. No matter which one he was called, it came with a sense of closeness..
Patrick did not bother to beat around the bush and called him 'Sixth Kennedy' without thinking. It was indeed an expression of respect to the Kennedy family. Otherwise, he would have called him by his full name, 'Pablo Kennedy'.
The youths in their early twenties looked lively, but Patrick's imposing manner overshadowed them in no time.
This manner was not something that could be dealt with simply through a quarrel or a fight. He was born with a gift of suppression.
But since these younger lads had the upper hand, no matter how imposing Patrick was, he had no choice but to apologize to them obediently for the sake of his business.
Having figured this out, Mr. Taylor bluffed, "You are one of the shareholders here, Mr. Patrick?"
Patrick lowered his eyes and looked at him. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what they are calling me?"
Mr. Taylor's face turned red. Of course, he had heard it. The receptionist had shouted, 'President Hopper is here' just now. He asked again, just for icebreaking!
However, Patrick's provocation made him look like an idiot. That was a little too harsh.
Mr. Taylor said, "Mr. Patrick, everyone knows what I mean by this. Don't you look down on me or think that I'm an easy target for bullies just because I'm young. My father is the boss of the mine..."
Patrick said lazily, "Come on, Just a miner. What's there to show off?"
Mr. Taylor's voice was sharp. "You're pushing it too far!"
All the people around were silent, especially employees from Royal Joy.
What did Mr. Hopper do? Nothing! How could he claim that he was pushing it too far?
Even the others behind Mr. Taylor felt that his words were too shameful!
Patrick looked at Mr. Taylor and said, "I won't bully you. Ask Sixth Kennedy to meet me here."
Mr. Taylor consciously moved to the door of the private room with his head held high and said, "Mr. Patrick, you have to think clearly. Is it worth it to fall out with us for a girl? The money spent by our Boss Sixth in the past is enough to get your hundreds of girls."
Patrick raised his eyebrows. He knew that Pablo was in the room, so he did not have time to argue with Mr. Taylor. "I'm telling you. Get out of the way."
Mr. Taylor flinched a little.
She did this was not because she was embarrassed, but rather because she felt a great deal of disgust!
Mr. Taylor's and the others' faces turned pale.
The three people in the room were all naked. On the other hand, the girl, who had been humiliated, had no strength to move a finger. While Pablo and his friends were wearing pants in a hurry, he shouted angrily, "Who the f*ck are you!"
When he shouted, he did not even see Patrick's face clearly. All his focus was on his f*cking pants. How could he recognize who it was?
Patrick pointed to the girl on the bed and said to Pablo, "I'm her boss."
Pablo then paused. He looked up at Patrick. After looking at him carefully for three seconds, he smiled and said, "Well, since you're here in person, you must know what the girl has done to me, right?"
After hearing what Pablo said, Stella, the woman on the bed hurriedly said, "Mr. Hopper... Mr. Hopper... I didn't do it on purpose..."
At this moment, Amelia walked into the room and came to her side. She lifted the quilt and covered Stella's body with it, saying, "Don't worry, your boss is here."
Stella's eyes brimmed with tears at the sight of Amelia. "Um," she answered.
Pablo's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Amelia walking into the room.
He pointed at Amelia and said to Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, to show my respect to you, I'll let go of
Stella, provided that you trade this woman for her!"
