"Respect?" Chandler sneered while he looked at Frederick disdainfully, "Did I hear it wrong? You were talking about respecting an assistant? Who are you putting on this facade for? Who knows, you might be sexualizing her in your mind."
Frederick frowned while he pointed at Chandler, and said. "You... how could you say that?"
"It looks like our Young Master Zais doesn't want to take action. If that's the case, step aside," Chandler uttered as he gestured to the men behind him, and then several of them went forward and surrounded Kimberly.
Kimberly was frightened, staring at Chandler.
"President Lovis, what are you trying to do?" she asked.
"Oh," Chandler sneered and said, "Little assistant, how dare you question me? You brought this upon yourself today, don't blame me for being rude."
Realizing the danger, Kimberly wanted to shout for help, but the man behind her immediately raised his hand and hit her at the back of her neck. Kimberly's eyes rolled backwards and she fell to the side.
No one moved to catch her, so Frederick quickly reached forward to hold Kimberly, and then he looked at Chandler with knitted eyebrows.
"President Lovis, what are you doing?" he questioned. Chandler stared at him viciously and barked, "Get out of my way."
Frederick hugged Kimberly in his arms tightly and said, "Do you want to hurt Assistant Shell? She is Young Master Yardley's assistant. Do you want to offend Young Master Yardley of the North City by hurting her?"
"Hmph. He and I are sworn enemies anyway, it doesn't matter," Chandler uttered as he squinted his eyes to glance at Frederick intimidatingly. "You're Frederick Zais, right? Hand her over to my men, or... I'll knock you out and take you away as well," he added.
Upon hearing this, Frederick's gaze met with Chandler's and they glared at each other, but Frederick did not intend to let go of Kimberly.
"She's merely an assistant that you've just met. Do you truly want to offend the Lovis Enterprise over her?" Chandler threatened.
As soon as he finished speaking, Frederick loosened his grip on Kimberly, and Chandler's subordinate took the opportunity to snatch her away from him.
Later, Kimberly was taken away from the banquet hall. Many people in the hall witnessed this. However, everyone knew that it was Chandler's way of doing things and they thought that she had hooked up with Chandler. Therefore, they ignored the situation.
After they left, Frederick felt sorry and promptly called his secretary over.
"Go upstairs and find someone to inform Mr. Zoborowski's assistant. Tell him that the female assistant who accompanied Young Master Yardley tonight was knocked out and taken away by Chandler Lovis," instructed Frederick.
Upon hearing this, his secretary frowned and said, "The Yardley family and the Lovis family?"
"Yes, just do as I said," Frederick urged.
The secretary stood still.
"What's wrong?" Frederick frowned and asked unhappily.
The secretary explained, "Young Master Zais, don't you know about the affairs between the Lovis family and the Yardley family? I've recently received the news as well. I heard that Chandler Lovis has somehow offended Young Master Yardley. Thus, Young Master Yardley had someone to go ambush and castrate him. Everyone knows that Chandler likes to sleep around. Now that he's no longer capable to do so, he is extremely resentful towards Young Master Yardley. Fie probably wants to retaliate as he's in despair."
Frederick's frown deepened and he said bluntly, "Chandler is notorious for his chronic womanizing. Isn't it a good thing for him to end up that way? It can be considered as doing the people a favor for getting rid of such a pest."
"Young Master Zais, don't you understand what I mean? I mean that Lovis Enterprise is now in a state of desperation. They're capable of doing just about anything in their current situation. The matter is complicated, so we'd better not get involved in it," the secretary added. Upon hearing this, Frederick raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, you're saying that you want me to stay out of this and pretend that I didn't see anything that has happened?"
The secretary replied, "Yes, it's best to do so."
Frowning, Frederick heard his secretary continue, "The Zais family is different from both the Lovis Family and the Yardley Family. If two parties do end up fighting with each other..."
