Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 226

226 Don’t You Dare To Hurt Him

At that moment, the pianist was still playing the piano. Wayne’s furious questioning voice was drowned out by the wonderful sound of the piano.

However, people around that table all looked at him in surprise.

Jasper was the first to react to what was going on. Then, he immediately asked a waitress to take Tammy away.

Anna then regained her composure. Her astonished expression quickly changed to indifference when she saw the woman standing behind Wayne.

“This is none of your business, Wayne,” she answered indifferently.

Wayne gave Jasper a harsh stare and stated, “Is it true that you two are just friends? But, why do you look like a family to me?”

He recalled the last time he had seen Anna, and he watched Jasper leaving her house. Anna was able to defend herself eloquently during their fight. Despite the fact that Wayne had seen them together, she insisted that Jasper was simply a friend.

Wayne began to doubt if the information he had been given was correct because of her righteous attitude.

He didn’t imagine he’d have the opportunity to meet Jasper. Moreover, his intuition told him that Jasper certainly did not consider Anna as a friend.

Maybe he’s deeply in love with her, Wayne thought. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?” Wayne asked.

When Anna saw how aggressive Wayne was, she felt completely disappointed in him.

She exhaled deeply and replied, “I don’t need to explain anything to you, Wayne. You should leave now.”

Wayne clenched his fists and sneered when he heard this, saying, “Oh, yes, I can certainly leave right now.”

He gave Anna a cold, indifferent stare.

“But, you have to come with me,” he said as he grabbed Anna’s wrist and tugged her from her seat.

Wayne was enraged with her. He had the impression that Anna had cheated on him from the beginning. So, he wanted Anna to give him a reasonable explanation.

But, at that very time, someone pressed a strong palm on Wayne’s arm, preventing him from dragging Anna away. When Wayne turned to the side, he noticed Jasper staring at him with a calm expression on his face.

In a charming voice, Jasper said, “Mr. Wright, I don’t think you can do that.” Wayne gave him an icy glare and didn’t appear to care about him. Wayne responded coldly, “It has nothing to do with you. This is between Anna and me,

He calmly said, “Anna is an adult, and she can make her own decisions. Whether interfere with this or not won’t change the fact that she doesn’t want to leave with you.”

“Oh, it makes no difference whether she wants to or not. You should know that this is a private matter between her and me.” Wayne pulled harder and attempted to yank Anna up.

Jasper, on the other hand, appeared to be more powerful than him. He held Wayne’s arm down with just the right amount of force. Then, he spoke with a soft but firm tone, “Oh, I’m sorry about that. But I respect Anna.”

Wayne’s expression became extremely gloomy. He fixed his gaze on Jasper’s face, as if his eyes were laser rays that could kill people. He warned, “But Mr. Thomas, you’re in Birmingham now, not Manhattan.”

He knew that Jasper was well established on Wall Street and well respected by those in the financial industry. He was, after all, just an outsider in Birmingham. And he’d have to follow the rules in Birmingham as long as he was here.

The Wrights were the ones who made the rules there.

At that moment, the piano sound came to an abrupt end. The two men tensed the atmosphere of the entire restaurant simply by staring at one other. It appeared that a battle was about to break out.

Some people then quietly took out their cellphones and began to take pictures of them. However, just as they were about to do so, some bouncers in suits warned them to stop taking pictures.

Everyone in the room was startled when they heard his words because they all knew Wayne was from the rich Wright family. Whether he was capable or not, he was the successor to Carousel. As a result, no one dared to challenge or criticize him. Despite this, everyone thought that he was the right person for the job.

If things like this happened in the past, he would not have taken such words seriously. He knew that everyone was born into a different family, and it was not up to them to make

Wayne asked, “What? You look down on me, don’t you? Well, you don’t seem to understand what the” power of a large family” means.”
