“Owen, who did this?” Karen Fox, a corpulent woman, asked angrily upon seeing her son covered in bandages like a mummy after arriving at the hospital.
“Mom, I don't know either...”
Owen didn't dare to tell his parents about the incident at the karaoke place, so he made up an excuse saying he had an argument with a group of strangers and fought with them.
“Owen, think carefully and try to recall who beat you up. Tell me when you do, and I'll ensure they suffer horrible deaths!” The pot-bellied Liam Sunderland said to his son while wearing a menacing expression.
Liam stayed at the hospital for half an hour before taking his leave as he had to deal with some matters at the office the next day. However, he left his bodyguard at the hospital to do Owen's bidding.
Karen also went back to prepare a nutritious meal for her son.
Following his parents' departure, Owen immediately summoned his father's bodyguard over.
“I want you to find the owner of this license plate.” He provided the bodyguard with a number plate for the latter to investigate that matter.
The bodyguard was efficient and was able to get the information in less than ten minutes.
“Mr. Sunderland, this number plate belongs to someone named Naomi Sherlock. Her family owns a shopping mall with a net worth of around ten million. This is a picture of her.” The indifferent bodyguard handed Naomi's photo to Owen.
“That was quick. Well done. Go to the Sherlock residence tomorrow and tell Naomi to come to Fort Hotel with her two friends in three days to apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll make the Sherlock family go bankrupt,” Owen instructed the bodyguard through gritted teeth.
Even after he was injured, he remained captivated by Naomi.
“Understood, Mr. Sunderland. I'll do as you wish tomorrow.”
After receiving the command, the bodyguard left his two subordinates to protect Owen the next day before leaving to execute Owen's order.
Naomi anxiously invited Luna and Michelle to meet at a coffee shop two days later.
However, right after the trio met up, an unwelcome guest approached them, his eyes set on Naomi.
“This is such a coincidence, Naomi. You're here too?” A guy dressed in a white suit and a pair of trendy shoes entered the coffee shop with a university girl by his side.
When he noticed Naomi sitting at one corner of the cafe, he hurriedly ditched the girl he was with and walked up to Naomi and her friends in delight.
Luna and Michelle were no strangers to that man with a boyish appearance.
His name was Donny Hancock. His family ran a logistics company, and their net worth was similar to Naomi's, at around ten million.
According to Naomi, their families used to collaborate in business. Although Donny was three years younger than Naomi, he fell in love with her at first sight.
Unfortunately, she wasn't interested in a man who was younger than her.
She also heard about his reputation as a playboy, frequently engaging in short-term relationships with different girls.
That had caused Naomi to be more apathetic toward him.
However, that b*stard wouldn't give up on her and clung to her persistently.
That was why Luna wanted to introduce Harold to Naomi. Luna thought Harold was a good match for Naomi, mainly because he emanated a masculine aura, which was the complete opposite of a juvenile man like Donny.
Harold could provide any woman who laid their eyes on him with a sense of assurance and security.
Regrettably, the heavens seemed to be playing jokes on them as they ran into Donny before Luna could even introduce the two to each other, not to mention in such an awkward manner.
