"What if, I say I will stay here?" Tim retorted indifferently. It was his own hotel and no one had the right to ask him to leave his own place.
"Fine, since this is your hotel, I will take Greg from here," said Cassie angrily. She was now regretting not taking Greg to the hotel she usually stayed in.
The moment she finished her words, a furious and angry woman came rushing inside the room.
It was Alice. "Cassie, how shameless you can be!" Alice shouted at Cassie as she rushed in front of Cassie and grabbed her hair.
"Shameless bitch! Don't you know Greg is married? Why do you want someone else's husband? You'd better go back and never come here again! Hasn't your mother told you something about the basic principles of life?" A furious Alice sputtered her volley of taunts?at Cassie. This woman was trying to hurt Violet and Alice could not control her anger anymore.
Seeing the agitated Alice, Tim hastily strode forward to calm her down. No matter how hateful Cassie was, he couldn't let Alice stir up trouble like that.
"Okay, Alice. Calm down! Fortunately, nothing has happened and we came here just in time." Tim grabbed Alice's hands from Cassie and pulled her to one side.
Cassie's hair was now a mess and she looked like a drowned mouse, her guilt showing clearly on her face.
With her arms grabbed by Tim, Alice couldn't move a step. She was so upset that she could have strangled Cassie to death.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you bring Greg, a married man to a hotel? What a heartless woman you are!" All colors had drained from?Alice's?face and she continued abusing Cassie.
"Whatever you have said! I don't care. I love Greg and I have been loving him for all these years. Is there something wrong if I love a man?" she retorted.
"I feel ashamed of you! There are countless men in the world, why do you want to hold on to Greg? Don't you know he is married now?" Alice was shocked with Cassie's behavior and she could have nearly torn her into pieces. But her arms were grabbed tightly by Tim and she couldn't move.
"Calm down, Alice. Everything is fine so far and don't be so angry," Tim comforted gently.
Alice kept silent without saying a word.
Suddenly, Alice found Greg who was sleeping on the sofa, and that made her all the more worked up.
She tried her best to get rid of Tim's arms and moved?to Greg, rebuking him,"Greg, you think this is the right time to take a nap?"
She picked up the sober-up tea on the plate carried by the waiter and poured it on Greg's face.
"Wake up, you brat!" Alice said, furiously.
Alice's rude behavior to Greg angered Cassie. She immediately walked towards Alice and pushed her away.
"What the hell are you doing?" She was extremely protective of Greg and this act of Alice really angered her. She could never allow anyone to treat Greg like that. With great concern, she took out a tissue and was about to wipe the water on Greg's face.
Alice got tumbled over by Cassie's push. Luckily, Tim supported her on time.
Tim looked angrily at Cassie and in a furious voice, roared," I dare you to touch her again! I will cut your hands!"
"I just didn't want her to treat Greg like that! Anyone who tries to bully Greg will have to face my wrath. I swear!" Cassie retorted fiercely, not afraid of Tim at all.
