Chapter 370
Layla couldn’t help but look perplexed as she observed the man kneeling in front of the storefront
She turned to Gavin and whispered. Gavin, why is this iman still kneeling here! He looks like he’s about t pass out Has he seriously been kneeling there all night
Meanwhile, Zoe, entirely in the dark about the situation, regarded Gavin with curiosity and asked. “Hey Gavin Do you know this guy?”
“Why is he kneeling in front of you and Layla?
“Could this be affecting the company somehow!”
Gavin looked at the pale-faced man on the ground and shook his head gently, saying. It doesn’t matter! If he wants to kneel, let him kneel. It won’t impact anything.”
With that, Gavin led Layla and Zoe to bypass Noah’s figure and enter the store.
At that moment, two employees who had been observing the man outside couldn’t hide their astonishment:
“We have yet to learn who that guy is.
“He’s been kneeling there all this time.
“Not only that, did you see how he straightened up when he saw the boss’s boyfriend?”
Gavin, accompanied by Zoe and Layla, entered the store.
The employees grew even more curious about the identity of the boss’s boyfriend upon seeing them.
One of the employees remarked in puzzlement, “He must have seriously offended the boss’s boyfriend!” “Our boss’s boyfriend is pretty intimidating. We have no clue about his background.
“This guy seems to be pleading for forgiveness from the boss’s boyfriend. It looks like he’s determined to keep kneeling until he gets forgiven.”
Suddenly, a pitiful wail echoed outside the door, “Mr. Clifford, I’ve come to beg for your forgiveness!” Hearing this voice, everyone instinctively turned to look outside, where they saw an overweight man. shirtless, carrying a bundle of thorny branches on his back, covered in mud, and his face twisted in agony With a sudden and heavy “thud, Charles dropped to his knees.
Noah recognized his boss right away. It was Charles!
Seeing his boss in this state didn’t shock Noah. Instead, he felt regret wash over him. He muttered, “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”
In a swift move, Noah removed his shirt and turned toward Charles, pleading. “Charles, please give me a chance!”
Without waiting for a response, he immediately began tugging at the thorny branches on Charles’s back. “Ahh…!” Charles cried out in excruciating pain.
Those thorns were sharp and merciless! They were tightly bound to his body, making them nearly impossible to remove without causing significant damage.
They were tightly entwined with his flesh, making it impossible to remove them without causing even more suffering.
Charles winced in agony and exclaimed, “This hurts like hell!”
But Noah, standing by, didn’t take their boss’s suffering lightly. He continued to forcefully pull at the thorny branches on Charles’s back, fully aware that in terms of sheer misery, his year-long kneeling would be nothing compared to the bloodied back of Charles.
Perhaps, with this sacrifice, he could earn Gavin’s forgiveness sooner.
Suddenly, Noah and Charles were in a tug-of-war over the thorny branches.
Charles, glaring at Noah, who was still trying to remove the thorns, unleashed a string of curses. “You damned beast! How dare you compete with me for these? Are you still even my employee?”

Despite the msidrs, Noah responded calmly. Of course I’m still your employee! Bor, Charles I want to love! Please grant me a chance to survive! So, I have no choice but to borrow your thery branches
The sight of these two men grappling over thorny branches quickly attracted the attention of pedestrian
the street and curious onlookers from nearly shops, who began printing and whispering
on
“What’s going on here?
Is someone causing trouble!
“Oh my goodness, look at that man’s har is that covered in thorny branches!
He’s bleeding all over!
This is terrifying
Layla and Zoe also heard the commotion inside the shop and grew increasingly anxious.
If the commotion continued to escalate at the storefront, even if there was no real trouble, it could lead to gossip and unwanted attention.
The tide of public opinion couldn’t be quickly subdued.
Layla looked worried as she gazed at Gavin, saying, “Gavin, how can we put a stop to this…”
Understanding Layla’s concern, Gavin patted her head reassuringly and approached the shop’s entrance. As Gavin emerged from the shop, he was met with perplexed expressions of the onlookers. Then, he walked straight out of the storefront and, upon seeing the two individuals arguing at the entrance, he spoke chilly, saying. “What’s all this arguing about? If you don’t mind, I sure do!”
At that moment, Noah and Charles witnessed Gavin coming out from inside.
Noah turned to Charles without hesitation and said, “Charles, this is Mr. Clifford!”
Upon seeing Gavin, Charles followed Noah’s pointing finger and didn’t waste a moment. He bellowed, “Mr. Clifford!”
Following that, a thunderous “thud” echoed through the scene.
A string of self-inflicted slaps followed on his face, accompanied by a passionate plea, I’m Charles, Chairman of the Prosperity Group, and I’m here to apologize to you!”
“Please, forgive my past behavior!
“I lost my way and acted recklessly.
“I humbly beg for your forgiveness!
