Chapter 73
“AGHHH!” A blood–curdling scream was heard. Patrick clutched his nether regions and squatted down, nearly fainting from the pain.
“HRAAH AGHH!” His yells were unending, and he had an excruciatingly painful expression on his face.
Diane was still reeling from the immense shock, but that did not stop her from feeling a burst of joy. Patrick was a sleaze and a pervert, and it was her good fortune that Severin showed up in time, or else she would have been forced onto by Patrick.
“Let’s go, Severin!” Diane endured the pain and stepped forward to tug on Severin’s arm.
Severin smiled faintly, looked at the tightly–shut secret door in the corner, and said, “Show yourselves. Don’t hide there like scaredy cats!”
The three people who were hiding inside paled in fright. They did not expect that Severin would be so ruthless as to deliver a kick that was strong enough to render Patrick’s crotch useless. He was the epitome of fearless, and he began to walk up to the door when no one answered him. They started to fear that Severin would not kill him in one fell swoop. After all, a poor man like him would have nothing to lose against richer individuals like them.
“There are other people here?” Diane frowned in bewilderment. She had spent more time in that room than he did, but she did not notice anything out of the ordinary there, much less sense the presence of other people.
Severin could not care less to say anything further and walked over to face the secret door. He delivered a thumping kick that sent the door flying open and yelled, “Come out here!”
Easton, Lucy, and Jada were so frightened that they walked out tremblingly from the inner room with ashen expressions on their faces.
“Mister Easton? Lucy? And you’re here too, Miss Jada?” Diane was far from pleased to see the three people of them there. It seemed as though they had hatched a plot from the very beginning and planned everything long in advance.
“Hehe, this restaurant is one of the Stones‘ properties, so why would it be weird for me to be here? “Jada chuckled. As the daughter of a third–tier upper–class family, she still tended to be arrogant around others.
“So that this is your restaurant ! I take it that you had a part to play in scheming against my wife and me!” Severin walked up sullenly to Jada and glared icily at the vicious woman.
“Hehe, and what if I did? You probably already met those people downstairs, right? I was the one who called them all to come here. I don’t know how or why they allowed you to come up to this floor, but you won’t be able to step foot outside this restaurant if they don’t receive my instructions!” Jada folded her arms in front of her chest, and said proudly, “I’m the eldest daughter of a third–tier upper–class family. What are you going to do, hit me? You should be kneeling right now to beg for my forgiveness! If you don’t, well, let’s just say that you, your wife, your daughter, and your parents, are all going to suffer today!”
In response, a tight slap landed right on Jada’s face, and a red palm mark appeared on her cheek.
