Hadrian and Kingsley were fighting hard. Richard watched them from afar, having no intent to help. Andy couldn't watch it anymore, so he stepped up and pulled them apart together with Kevin and Bellamy.
"What are you guys doing here? How can you do this to our guest?" City governors scolded Hadrian. Both of them looked like from a horror movie.
"It's her! She splashed her drink on my suit!" Hadrian swiped the blood off his mouth corner and pointed to Amy.
"You deserved it. A man who has no aim in life and only fool around all day long… even if she doesn't do you, I will." Kingsley saw no regret in Hadrian, so he wanted to let Finnley continue with his job of beating him. After all, his fighting techniques were just a little inferior than Finnley's.
Hadrian understood he couldn't take any advantage from this situation, so he began making a scene here.
"You people are all fooled by this whore! You know nothing about her past, and now you're all against me! Her own father-in-law died because of her, and then she pretended to have lost her memory… She's a bad person, thinking she's pretty and can manipulate anybody however she wants. She first married Richard Carter, and now… God knows what happened but she's hooked up with Mr. Newell. So now, you tell me, isn't she a whore or what?" Hadrian lashed out as if he was making a speech in the ballroom.
"You son of a bitch!" Finnley couldn't hold back his anger any more. This man must be completely out of his mind! He raised his fists and threw them towards Hadrian.
"OK, OK. Just think of him as a dog OK? When a dog bites you, you can't bite back, right? Let's go." Amy was over the peak of her anger and calmed down now.
"Miss Newell, why should we let him go? People like him should be punished hard until he bends down" Finnley wasn't a man who liked to reason to begin with. Now that his own boss was insulted, how could he let it fly under his nose?
"I'll just say one thing. You can take Hadrian Field's words however you want. Whatever I do, nobody gets to judge. What happened tonight ends here, now. " Amy was trying to drag Finnley away.
"Are you scared now? Amy Newell, you lost everything when your father's company went bankrupt years ago. And now you're back on your feet, huh? What did you exchange for that? I'm sure we all know the answer." A few friends of Hadrian's were also booing behind.
Amy didn't care to explain more. She kept on walking.
"Miss Newell, I don't get it. Why are you afraid of him? Whether you've done things he said, we should teach him a lesson and beat him up. No need to reason with people like this." Finnley looked at Amy in confusion.
He only seemed tall enough at 5'8'' when he stood next to Amy.
"I don't want to make it bigger. I'm not afraid of him, but you don't have to explain everything. You know who you are, and that's enough." This was Amy's principle: be honest to yourself.
Hearing this, Finnley sunk into silence. What Amy told him were things he used to disagree on all levels, but hearing them from a woman like Amy, he seemed to have changed his mind. He was the kind of person who saw only black and white and nothing in between. If anyone had the balls to come straight at him, he would respond with fists.
