Chapter 116 Dare you touch my wife!
Chapter 116 Dare you touch my wife!
Scarlett’s POV.
“Who are you?” The man who I kicked to the floor asked, his eyes burning with anger.
“Is that necessary?” I asked with a scoff.
I faced the other man who was also slightly shivering with fear. “You are old but you aren't ashamed of yourself?”
“If she doesn't want you to touch her, then leave her the fuck alone!” I yelled.
The sound of music in the room was starting to fade as almost everyone was now arriving at the scene, fixing their gaze on the old men and I.
“Where’s Mr. Walter? Why the fuck did he allow a deranged bitch like this into this place” One of them said.
I watched as the girls whimpered and tried to get their clothes from the ground to cover their body with.
That was a big disrespect to women and I don't think I can tolerate it. It was just so hard to tolerate.
I faced the man who talked about Mr. Walter just now.
“So? What about Mr. Walter?” I smirked. You think he'd come here and tell me to scram from this party?”
“Or, you think he’ll come here just to save you?”
The man’s jaws clenched as he looked around for Mr. Walter. The second man was the one who first found him.
His lips went from pressed to rounded as he muttered. “Oh!”
He pointed a finger at where Mr. Walter was standing, his hands in his pocket as he watched.
The second man also darted his gaze to him and wanted to walk to him when I stopped him with my feet by kicking his knees.
I should be thankful that my gown had a slit, else I would have been the one to fall to the ground.
“He won't be helping you get out of this situation” I told the men.
Then I faced the girls who all had their clothes back on. They didn't look so little but I could tell they were younger than I was.
“Hey, girls” I called out to them. “Come closer, please”
I crossed my arms beneath my boobs and stood in front of them, reading their faces for a moment before I spoke.
“How old are you?” I asked.
One of them answered with twenty, while the other said she was twenty one.
I nodded my head and turned to look at the men.
“If you have daughters, they should be around this age or older” I said. “Imagine these girls' fathers harassing your daughters, what are you gonna do?” I raised a brow.
One of the men stood upright and laughed.
I guess he already healed from the kick I had given him.
“Hey!” The man roared at me and I almost flinched because of how loud he was.
“What the hell is your problem?” He sighed annoyingly.
“These girls will get paid after everything!” He yelled. “They will be given money that will change their lives!”
I scoffed at the man’s words. I didn't know when I became someone who defended girls like me but at the moment, I was ready to defend these girls to the very end.
“You deserve to be killed!” I said and he blinked.
I moved closer to him, my steps threatening and my look intimidating.
He kept shifting back and I wondered if the man was afraid of me.
For them to be in this gathering, like Logan had said, they had to be close to Mr. Walter.
I was so damn sure everyone in Mr. Walter’s circle was so damn rich and powerful.
And for a moment, I thought about the consequences of what I was doing.
Will they retaliate, or will they not?
“What do you say?” I asked with a darkened gaze. “You still want to continue harassing girls or you'd act like sensible men who aren't so fucked up and shameless?” I talked so fast that his eyes kept blinking and he was starting to look scared.
“Who do you think you are?” The other butt in. His hands were in his pocket and I could tell he had regained his composure because of the many eyes that were on us.
“With just a phone call, I'll get you locked up in prison for the rest of your life!” He snapped.
That made my breath hitch. A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed hard.
“And even these girls you are trying to protect! I can ruin their lives in just a few hours!” He yelled.
I was starting to get scared, for myself and for the girls. I hadn't given it much thought about the power that they had.
The other man who was looking like a scaredy cat also stopped looking scared as it looked like they had got me.
I couldn't say a word, I could only stare back at them but the look on my face didn't look so confident anymore.
Just as one of them walked closer to me with a smirk on his lips, I saw as his eyes darted to the side and he creased his forehead.
Before I could turn to look at what had caught his attention, a hand landed on my shoulder, holding me firmly and I blinked, seeing Christian by my side.
He had his gaze fixed on the two men in front of us and there was no hint of a smile on his face.
“Touch my wife” his voice was dark and deadly low. “And I will ruin your life within just a few minutes”
They blinked, color draining from their faces.
“She’s…. Your wife?” They asked.
I could tell they know Christian and from the way they looked at him, they were slightly afraid of him.
“Yes. And anyone who touches her or what she's trying to protect touches me”
His hand slipped away from my shoulder and he grabbed my hand. “Let's go” he said, looking into my eyes with his eyes filled with anger.
I didn't know where Christian was taking me but I knew I was going to answer questions.
