Chapter 22 Trembling All Over

"Give you face? What are you even worth?"

"A dog-like creature, how dare you ask me to give you face."

The middle-aged Mr. Chamberlain scowled at George, his anger turning into a sinister smile. "She's your woman? Perfect. I will now humiliate your woman right in front of you, let's see how valuable your face is, bring out all your connections and support, show them to me."

"Hold him down!"

At that moment, Vivian's classmates showed expressions of schadenfreude. They thought, this useless person, isn't he just digging his own grave?

Vivian was affected. She was publicly humiliated at a time when she couldn't even protect herself, and even Noah endured the situation without saying a word.

"You will regret this!" George said calmly.

"Damn, this guy is so pretentious. Even I can't stand it. Hurry up and take him down," Manager Kim shouted, not wanting to see George's expression for even a second.

He was simply asking for trouble.

Vivian was also in a panic. How could George possibly be their opponent against so many people? Moreover, the other side was from the Fonda group, known as the secret society king of Riverdale. Such a person couldn't be offended!

Even if her grandfather, the divine physician of Riverdale, were here, he wouldn't be useful.

Just then, George threw out a black card. "Take a look, is this enough?" he said.

"A bank card? Are you trying to bribe us with money? You really underestimate Culinary Delights Eatery," Manager Kim laughed, casually glancing at the card that had fallen to the ground. But the next second, his smile froze, and his pupils contracted abruptly. "This is..."

Manager Kim quickly picked it up and inspected it carefully.

The next moment, his trembling hands held the card. "This is the supreme black card of the Fonda group. Where did you get it?"

At this moment, the security guards were about to rush over.

Manager Kim quickly shouted, "Stop, all of you, stop!"

Everyone was stunned.

Noah and the others were especially amazed and couldn't believe it. How could someone as worthless as George have the Fonda group's supreme black card? It was like seeing Marc, the god, in person. George and Marc should have no relationship with each other!

Mr. Chamberlain felt a little panicked. If this card really belonged to George, then his earlier decision to humiliate Vivian in front of him would be disastrous. He couldn't accept that.

Mr. Chamberlain said, "Manager Kim, are you sure this is a genuine supreme card? Is it not a counterfeit?"

The truth was, Manager Kim couldn't be certain either.

George said, "You can call Marc."

Manager Kim didn't dare to call Marc, but he made a call to the overall person in charge of Culinary Delights Eatery, who was also a high-ranking member of the Fonda group. Although Manager Kim couldn't confirm the authenticity of his card, but that person surely could.

Soon enough, a middle-aged man hurried over, but he didn't look at the card. He only saw George and immediately changed his expression. He quickly walked up to George and bowed 90 degrees, respectfully saying, "Master Harold!"

Everyone present was shocked.

Especially Noah whose heart immediately trembled.

It feels like being drenched with a bucket of icy water in the middle of winter, making him shiver from head to toe.

Recalling the various hostilities towards George during the meal just now, he felt like he could still stand upright, but his heart was already in turmoil.

The person in front of him was James, the manager of Culinary Delights Eatery, he had seen him once before. Even his father had to respectfully flatter him, trying his best to please him, afraid of making this person unhappy— in an instant, the Noah family's hopes were dashed.

To personally witness an important figure like him actually bowing to George and addressed him as "Master Harold."

"I am James, the manager of Culinary Delights Eatery. If there are any orders, I would not hesitate even if it meant death."

It turned out that James had seen George at The Gourmet Junction that day and knew his identity.

He directly referred to him as Master Harold, showing even more sincerity.

George said lightly, "Someone suspects that my card is fake, can you please verify it?"

James looked up, his gaze sinister, staring at Manager Kim, and in the next second, he slapped him hard across the face.

"You don't even recognize the Fonda group supreme card, what kind of manager are you? From now on, you are fired. Get out of here immediately!"

Manager Kim's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped directly down.

But he dared not have any complaints, nodded silently, and left the private room with a gloomy expression.

Then James respectfully asked, "Master Harold, has anyone offended you?"

George scratched his head and said, "It's nothing serious, just this guy who said he would insult my... girlfriend right in front of me. What should I do? I'm really troubled!"

James was furious, "You bastard, looking to die? Drag him out and drown him in the river."

Everyone's backbone shuddered.

Mr. Chamberlain broke out in a cold sweat, quickly saying, "Wait, I am Andrew, the president of P&G International. I have some connections with your Fonda group's Marc. You can't treat me like this."

No sooner had he finished speaking than James raised his hand and slapped him twice.

"Smack! Smack!"

"Marc is here, do you think he will help you plead? Drown him in the river."

Andrew finally panicked and fell to his knees with a thud, "No, please, I was wrong, I apologize, I will compensate. Sir Huang, Master Harold, please give me another chance. I will definitely make amends."

He was truly scared.

Those terrifying stories about the underground boss of the secret society committing hideous acts were not just a bluff. When he said "drown in the river," he would absolutely do it, no empty promises.

Vivian couldn't bear to see someone getting killed.

She quickly grabbed George's hand and gently shook her head.

George nodded, smiled at her, and spoke, "

"Never mind. Let's forget about Chengjiang since my girlfriend can't stand this kind of thing. Breaking a leg will teach him a lesson!"

"Crack!"

A security guard directly took action and broke Andrew's left leg.

Vivian's face twitched, revealing her inability to bear it.

George said, "Alright, the matter ends here! We've eaten too much, let's take a walk and go!"

James bowed and handed over a black card, saying, "Escort Master Harold!"

The security guards bowed one after another, saying, "Escort Master Harold!"

It wasn't until George and Vivian left the restaurant that Noah and the others felt like they have woke up like from a nightmare. At this moment, they felt a large wet patch on their backs, all drenched in sweat.

After walking for a while outside with George, Vivian finally spoke up, "Who exactly are you?"

George smiled, "Dr. Tudson, your question sounds like it frightened you. Did I give you a scare just now?"

"Fonda Group Supreme Card, I've heard about it too, seen it as seeing Marc, Marc's reputation. It's very big in Riverdale, but he's not a good person. Are you well acquainted with him?"

George shrugged and said, "Not really! This card, in fact, belongs to my father. My father used to do business with Fonda, which is how he acquired this card. But now he's passed away... So don't worry, I won't follow his bad example."

Vivian patted her own proud chest and said, "So that's how it is, then I can rest assured."

Pausing for a moment, she added, "Thank you just now, without you, I would have been in a miserable state."

George, disturbed by the fluctuation in front of her, had an unsettled mind and blurted out, "Is a simple thank you enough?"

Vivian angrily retorted, "What else do you want? Shall I offer myself to you? The question is, do you dare to accept?"

"Cough, I was just speaking casually."

Afterwards, the two bid farewell at the intersection.

George sat alone by the roadside for a while, thinking in his heart Should he stay in a hotel tonight? Or should he return to the Willow family?

Deep down, he really didn't want to return to the Willow family.

But thinking about Lily calling him dozens of times and his disappearance for a while, she must be extremely worried now, right?

"Hmph, serves you right for not believing me, and believing that scum... I bet you're anxious now!"

After a while, he turned on his phone again.

He saw over thirty text messages from Lily, all apologies, but before he could finish reading them, her call came in again.

He hesitated for a moment.

He answered.

"Husband, husband, where are you?" came her desperate crying voice over the phone.

Hearing Lily's sobbing, George's heart immediately softened. He felt like he was being a bit foolish and immediately slapped himself, mustering up his courage to say, "Why call me your husband? You've already accepted Tom's proposal, I'm no longer your husband, I'm not worthy of you."
