He was about to speak when Bob, with a complicated look on his face, pushed the door in. Followed closely behind him was a bruised, battered, and weak Zane.
“Zachary, I brought this brute here today to apologize to you,” Bob walked toward Zachary and said apologetically as soon as he entered the ward.
“You sure have some guts to show up, don’t you?” Zachary stood up with a sneer.
Before Zachary listened to Bob’s explanation, he raised his hand and slapped Bob across the face.
Bob had just finished apologizing when he received a hard slap on the face.
The slap froze the atmosphere immediately.
Even Jasper was stunned.
He had only seen young men in their 20s with short tempers getting into fistfights thus far. He never expected Mr. Zachary to be a grumpy middle-aged man too.
Henry nearly jumped up from the hospital bed to cheer for his father.
Indeed, people were used to seeing trust fund babies’ arrogant and domineering characters, yet they almost forgot that the fathers of these trust fund babies in the four richest families in Harbor City were also once outstanding trust fund babies and top-notch profligate sons of the rich.
After taking over the family business, they may have gotten much calmer and steadier, no longer making decisions based on their emotions. Even so, they were still top-notch young masters from 20 years ago to their cores.
Bob was dumbfounded by the slap.
He never thought that a man like him who had such status and identity would get slapped in the face.
He glared at Zachary, barely able to suppress the wave of anger that was ready to burst out.
Men who had such status and identity like them paid attention to their image more than anything else. Their level of tolerance was so great that it was simply impossible for anyone to destroy them. Therefore, at the end of the day, image and reputation were really the only things they were striving for.
