227 Damon and Pythias
Wayne then felt a shiver running down his spine, and his heart ached. The last trace of tenderness in his heart disappeared.
He stared at Anna’s expressionless face and said word for word, “Do you dare to say it
again?”
“Yes. And I won’t change my mind. If you’re to hurt Jasper, you should come at me as well” Anna said in a decisive tone.
She gazed at him with disdain as if she had been deeply disappointed in him.
Then, she even began to doubt herself, I was so stupid that I fell in love with you, Wayne. It turns out you’re just a narrow-minded pretentious man and would gloat over your wealthy family. You even think that you can just trample other people’s lives as you like! Wayne’s fists were clenched more tightly, and his bones made a clicking sound. He said those words with his gritted teeth, “Are you willing to put your life on the line for one another? What a touching friendship you have! Anna, you were lying to me before!”
Anna frowned but didn’t explain anything.
However, Wayne misinterpreted her attitude as she couldn’t defend herself. With a snarl, he added, “Don’t you think it’s silly of you that you’re threatening me like that? Who do you think you are?”
Despite the fact that Anna knew Wayne was angry, she couldn’t help but be curious about his answer.
“I’m also intrigued as to who you think I am,” she said, despite the fact that she didn’t hold out much hope for it.
“You’re nothing more than my f**k buddy, Anna.”
Anna recognized then that reality was always harsher than it appeared. After hearing Wayne’s mean words, Anna felt as if a knife had stabbed her in the heart.
She then tried to hit Wayne in the face with her fist. She discovered, however, that she had lost all of her strength. She used to love Wayne so much. Yet, she didn’t expect him to treat her like a f**k buddy.
Wayne had humiliated her to the point that she felt as if he had ripped out her proud heart and exhibited it for all to see.
“Wayne, I think I used to overestimate you. I used to thought you were a gentleman. Now, it seems that I was completely wrong.” Jasper spoke up at that point. He then unfastened his suit jacket, and his face became irritated.
Then, he immediately punched Wayne hard in the face. Wayne let out a muffled grunt before collapsing to the floor and knocking over the chair beside him.
All of Wayne’s bodyguards ran towards them, trying to help their boss. Nevertheless, Jasper’s bodyguards were all ready to do the same. These two groups immediately fought

with each other.
They threw tables and chairs at each other and made a lot of noise. Also, some of them then fell to the ground and rolled around because they were hurt.
The entire restaurant was a shambles. Before Anna could react, Jasper and Wayne had already started fighting.
Jasper usually did a lot of extreme sports. So, he was good at fighting and could bear more pain than others.
Soon, he got the upper hand,
He then struck Wayne again, knocking him to the ground and toppling the huge glass floor lamp next to him.
Wayne then fell to the ground, looking miserable. “Oh! Wayne!” Charlotte exclaimed.
She yelled at Jasper as she stood in front of Wayne, “Hey, I’ve called the police! And, my brother and the police are on their way.”
Jasper had raised his fist and was about to strike Wayne once more. When he saw Charlotte, he glanced grimly at her and then at Wayne. He then sneered and said, “Oh, ! don’t hit women.”
Wayne covered his chest and couldn’t say anything after a long time.
Why would Jasper say something like that? Was he being sarcastic about how rough! was with Anna the other day? Did he even know about this thing? Anna appeared to be open
Anna had wanted to go to Wayne’s side and see if his injuries were serious. However, at that moment, she gave up the idea. She clenched her teeth and left there without looking back.
She noticed that the floor was littered with tables, chairs, and plates that had fallen to the ground. The elegantly designed French restaurant had become a battleground.
She was well aware that anytime Jasper went out, he would be accompanied by his bodyguards. So, she didn’t ask any questions and just walked over to his car.
Yet, Anna had lost her appetite. Shaking her head, she responded, “No, thanks. To tell you the truth, I’m already stuffed. Is it possible for you to drop Tammy off at my aunt’s house? I’ll have a meeting with the designers about the sample dresses tonight.”
