Chapter 50

Henry, who had been gripping the stair railing, now had his fist clenched tight, looking seriously pissed.

Just then, Zoey sidestepped the guy's reaching hand and, without pause, kicked him square in the face.

The guy let out a scream, his face all twisted from Zoey's kick, and he crashed onto the table next to him. His head smacked the edge of the table before he hit the ground.

Seeing Zoey stand up for herself, Henry was reminded of what Joseph had said about the time she took on Arthur's whole family alone. She had not only defended herself but put Catherine and Caroline in the hospital.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and his face didn't look as grim anymore.

Zoey helped Claire, who was lying on the ground, to her feet. "Claire, are you hurt? We should get you to the hospital."

Claire stood up and shook her head. "I'm okay, just my butt hurts a bit."

Then she walked straight over to the guy on the ground and kicked him hard twice. "You drunken creep, how dare you touch Zoey!"

The guy groaned in pain, sobering up a bit, and glared at Claire and Zoey with a nasty look. "You two bitches, how dare you hit me? You're gonna regret this!"

As he finished, the two guys and three girls who had come with him rushed over.

"Calvin, are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?" A girl in a miniskirt helped Calvin Wallace up, looking worried.

The other two guys glared at Zoey. "How dare you hit Calvin? Do you know his uncle is a big shot in Maple City? Messing with him is like signing your own death warrant!"

Zoey looked at him coldly. "Oh really? Well, who's the one hurt now?"

Calvin, already fuming, told his two buddies, "Grab her for me. Tonight, I'll tie her to the bed and make her beg for mercy! You guys can join in and watch me break her!"

The two guys' eyes lit up with excitement, especially seeing how hot Zoey was, imagining the fun they'd have.

They moved to grab Zoey, but a tall figure stepped in their way.

Zoey was shocked to see Henry suddenly standing in front of her.

Even with his back to her, Zoey recognized him instantly.

"Who the hell are you? Move, or I'll have you thrown in jail," Calvin threatened, seeing Henry protecting Zoey.

Henry's cold eyes swept over Calvin, and he let out a mocking laugh.

Calvin got even angrier and yelled at his two buddies, "Take this guy down. If he dies, I'll take the blame."

The two guys lunged at Henry first.

Henry's eyes darkened, and he grabbed each guy by the arm. With a twist and a sickening crack, he dislocated their arms.

He shoved them aside and walked towards Calvin.

He moved slowly and gracefully, but Calvin felt a wave of fear and swallowed hard.

"Don't come any closer. My uncle's a big shot. If you touch me, he'll make sure you regret it," Calvin blurted out, hoping to scare Henry off.

Henry sneered, "Why don't you call your uncle now and ask him what happens to people who cause trouble in my hotel?" Calvin's face went pale.

"Are you Mr. Windsor?" Calvin stammered.

He knew Henry owned the Divine Horizons Hotel but had never seen him before. He didn't expect to meet him today.

"Mr. Windsor, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble in your hotel. That bitch hit me first. I was just so mad I told my friends to teach her a lesson. If I knew this was your place, I wouldn't have done it," Calvin's arrogance vanished, and he looked like he wanted to grovel.

Even though his uncle was the city manager, he wouldn't dare challenge Henry. Even the mayor had to be polite to Henry, let alone his uncle.

Travis jumped off his chair, ran to Henry, and hugged his leg, complaining, "This bad man is lying. He was drunk and bumped into Gabriel's high chair. If my mom hadn't caught it, Gabriel would be in the hospital now. He even leered at my mom. You need to teach him a lesson right away."

Calvin was shocked to see how familiar Travis was with Henry. It turned out the stunning woman was connected to Henry, and from Henry's reaction, he seemed to care about her.

Henry patted Travis's head and told him to step aside. Then he dislocated the arm Calvin had tried to touch Zoey with.

"John," Henry called out, glancing coldly at Calvin, who was now sweating in pain on the ground. He picked up a napkin from the table to wipe his hands.

John immediately stepped forward. "Mr. Windsor, how may I assist you?"

"Drag them to the basement and teach them a lesson, but don't kill them. Then call this guy's uncle and have him come pick up his nephew," Henry said.

Calvin felt doomed. He crawled to Henry's feet. "Mr. Windsor, I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

Henry stepped back in disgust, and John quickly called the bodyguards, who dragged Calvin and his two buddies away like lifeless corpses.

The three heavily made-up, scantily clad girls who had come with them were trembling with fear. However, Henry didn't have them taken away, only had the hotel security escort them out.

"Mr. Windsor, you've helped me again," Zoey said, looking at Henry with a complicated expression, feeling that even gratitude seemed insufficient.

He turned around, his handsome eyes locking onto Zoey. "Even if I weren't here, you wouldn't let yourself suffer."

"I wouldn't suffer, but there would definitely be trouble afterward, and you easily helped me get rid of it," Zoey knew Henry had gone beyond just fixing her immediate issues.
