Chapter 10
“Who the hell is out there?” Being interrupted like that, Robert looked up with an impatient expression.
However, he did not expect to see a very beautiful woman standing at the door.
Robert immediately lost interest in the woman beside him and greeted her with a smile on his face.
“Yo, I think you must be new here. I’ve never seen you before. Well done, Henry! You never fail me on this.” Robert thought Marina was a woman sent to him by the manager to be his companion, and he was ready to get his hands on her while greeting her.
However, before his hand could touch Marina, it was suddenly twisted by a large hand.
Then, a cracking sound was heard.
Robert’s hand was instantly broken.
After that, miserable screams could be heard in the private room.
A
“Who are you people?” Seeing that unexpected situation, Gavin’s face darkened. He immediately got up and
went forward.
But the next moment, someone held him back.
Seeing this, the beautiful women in the room huddled together into a ball.
“I’m here for Robert. You may leave now.” Marina shot an indifferent glance at the bunch of women.
They immediately rushed out of the room as if they were prisoners that had just been released.
The originally lively private room instantly fell into dead silence.
Marina lowered her eyes and threw a look at Robert whose face went pale from the pain. Then, she slowly sat on the couch at one side.
“Mr. Hernandez, your secretary told me that you were awfully busy. I thought it was something important you were dealing with. So, this is what you’ve been busy with, right? Drinking wine and playing games with those pretty women?”
She kicked the wine bottles that were s***d around her feet as she said that.
“Who… are you?” Robert asked through gritted teeth, trying to endure the pain.
“Me? You can call me Miss Bailey.” She slightly parted her red lips, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
“Yeah, f***k you. Now, I want you to get on your knees and apologize to me. Or I swear I’ll… ah…” Before he could finish saying his threat, he had to take another punch to his stomach.
His words turned into a painful whimper in an instant.
“Mr. Hernandez, you see I’m one of those civilized people. I thought we could have a nice talk about the ownership of the land in Wesiville.
“But
you
wouldn’t want to cooperate. You have forced a weak woman like me to knock some senses into you. Now, I don’t think that’s really necessary. Don’t you think so?” she added and raised her hand to appreciate her newly-decorated nails.
She sounded very calm when she said that.

Chapter 10.
“Wesiville… land? You are with Peter?” Robert came back to his senses.
“No.” Her red lips slightly parted.
“Then, what f****ng business do you have with the land in Wesiville?” He gritted his teeth.
“Peter works for me.” She finally gave him a look.
“Who… the hell are you?” Robert’s eyes turned darker.
“Didn’t I just give you my answer, Mr. Hernandez? You must have a bad memory. No wonder you’ve been hogging the piece of land in Wesiville without giving it back. Did you forget that you were already behind rent on that?” Marina said word by word.
“So, you were sent here by the Bailey family?” Gavin, who was manhandled by Oscar, instantly came back to his senses.
He looked shocked when he asked that.
“Yup. You look a lot smarter than him.” Marina threw a glance at Gavin.
“The Bailey family? So what? Even if you’re from the Bailey family, do you think you could just hit me like that? Do you know who I am?”
He didn’t care about anything about the Bailey family. He would never take this lying on the ground now that he had suffered so much humiliation today.
