Antonio raised his voice and roared, "What's wrong with the management of this mall? It's been so long and your worker has yet to apologize to me. Instead, she's tending to a kid. Is this kid here to distract our attention from the matter?"
Montez's face turned red with anger. "Stop talking, you loser! How can you bully Yesseca? I won't let you off easily!"
Antonio was humiliated by a child in front of a crowd.
He then said angrily, "Bully? It's this woman who shamelessly seduced me. I can't let her frame me!"
Montez ran towards the man in a flash.
He kicked and beat the man. "You bullied my Yesseca. I won't forgive you!"
Although Montez was young and small, he used all his strength, and his kicks and blows were enough to hurt Antonio.
Antonio couldn't care less about the onlookers and lifted his hand to hit Montez.
But his hand did not land on Montez.
Instead, his arm was held firm. "My son is not
someone that you can touch."
Tremaine's voice was cold and empty, as if he had come from the Arctic.
Antonio was shocked.
He looked up and saw a pair of extremely cold eyes.
Tremaine's pair of dark, bottomless eyes intimidated Antonio.
However, Antonio was not afraid at all as he was used to acting arrogant because his son was the mayor. Besides, he saw that Tremaine was way younger than him.
He continued to stand by what he said, "Why can't I hit him? He hit me, so shouldn't I do the same to him? Just because he's a child, he thinks he can act however he wants? What a brat!"
Tremaine sneered.
"Ouch, my arm!" Antonio suddenly cried out in pain.
Tremaine pulled and dislocated Antonio's arm.
The man was in pain and angry.
He shouted angrily, "How do you all work in this mall? This man dislocated my arm. Aren't you going to stop him? Catch him!"
As soon as his voice fell, a voice sounded from the crowd, "Isn't that Mr. Tremaine of the Quartley
Family?"
Someone recognized Tremaine.
Antonio was shocked.
He looked at Tremaine in disbelief, only to see that the man in front of him had a bone-chilling look.
Antonio wished that the ground would swallow him up.
In the beginning, he discerned that the man in front of him was someone of power as well, but he figured that since his son was the mayor, there was nothing he should be afraid of. Who knew that the man in front of him was Tremaine?
Even his son couldn't afford to offend such a figure!
Antonio's expression changed instantly.
He smiled and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Quartley. Please forgive me for not recognizing you on the spot."
Tremaine pursed his lips and said nothing.
Antonio was now completely sure that the man in front of him was indeed Tremaine.
If he wasn't, he would definitely deny it.
After all, no one dared to impersonate Tremaine.
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Quartley. I'll visit you next time when there's a chance." Antonio wanted to slip away slowly.
"Don't move!" The cold voice sounded from Antonio's back.
He stopped in his tracks.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He turned back with a hollow smile, "Mr. Quartley, is there anything else you need?"
Tremaine's eyes were cold. "Is it really a misunderstanding? Let's check the surveillance footage."
In such a big mall, there must be surveillance cameras.
Antonio's legs turned weak and he almost fell to his knees.
The footage was played.
