Chapter 61
His eyes bloodshot, Vincent pointed his finger at each of the staff members present. “All of you aren’t
gonna call him down here, huh? Fine!” He strode toward the staircase. If they’re not gonna call him
downstairs, I’ll look for him myself!
A hint of hesitation flickered across Teresa’s eyes. She wanted to stop him, but in the end, she merely
followed behind him without saying a word.
The staff members looked at each other, but none of them dared to block Vincent’s way. The Colemans
couldn’tpare with the Thatchers, but it wasn’t like they could afford to displease the former either.
Just then, the elevator door opened, and Christian wheeled Be out in her wheelchair. “Were you
looking for me?”
Upon hearing his voice, Vincent turned around and swung his fist at him without the slightest hesitation.
“Vincent!” Teresa hesitated for a moment before dashing forward to block Vincent’s way. Then, she
shook her head at him.

“Get out of my way!” Vincent yanked Teresa out of his way. Striding up to Christian, he seized the
man’s cor with both hands and uttered each word between clenched teeth, saying, “Christian
Thatcher, are you a f*cking monster?!”
Teresa tugged at his arm while pleading with a choke in her voice, “Vincent, don’t do this.”
“Say it! Are you?” Vincent stared fixedly at Christian before tears sprang to his eyes. Wiping his tears
with one hand, he growled, “Is my sister nothing to you because you only care about the woman you
love?”
There were more and more people in the hall, and some even secretly took photos and videos of the
scene.
Ignoring the irate Vincent, Christian darted an impassive nce at the crowd. “Is this fun to watch?”
Everyone quickly put down their phones, not daring to take photos or videos anymore.
Charlotte stepped out of the elevator while wiggling her hips as her glistening eyes flickered.
“Everyone, please delete the photos and videos voluntarily before going where you’re supposed to go.”
The dense crowd scattered soon after that, though many looked back as they left.
Vincent’s face was contorted with emotion. “Be broke her leg, so you broke my sister’s leg and had
her jailed for two years! It’s still uncertain who was in the wrong back then. Even if it was my sister’s
fault, she’d already paid her dues. Why won’t you let her off?!”
Christian darted an impassive look at him. Then, he said in a chilly voice, “Get off me.”
“My sister’s biggest mistake in life was to be so f*cking blind as to fall for you!” Vincent’s eyes were
blood red as he clutched Christian’s cor with all his might. “Let me ask you this, Christian—was it you
who scalded Tori’s leg like that?”
Be, who had been silent all this while, quickly came forward with a look of anxiety and guilt. “Vincent,
Christian really isn’t to me for this. It was me who scalded Victoria’s leg by ident while pouring
tea. I’ll pay for her medical expenses and go to the hospital to apologize to her some other—”
Thump! Vincent let go of Christian and knocked Be’s wheelchair over with tremendous strength. He
mocked, “You want to pay for her medical expenses? Ha!” He took out his wallet, from which he
produced a stack of cash and hurled it at her face. “I’m not f*cking short of cash! Is this money enough
to pay for your medical expenses? If it’s not, I can give you more money!” He fished a number of bank
cards out of his wallet and hurled them at her face.
Be looked a sorry sight on her hands and knees with her lower body pinned under the wheelchair.
She wanted to push the wheelchair away, but she didn’t have enough strength to do so. Her face was
burning as the banknotes and the bank cards fell onto her and scattered around her, but her physical
pain was nothingpared to the feelings of shame and embarrassment within her.
Just when Vincent wanted to hit her, Teresa stopped him and whispered, “That’s enough, Vincent.
She’s a woman, after all. And besides, she probably didn’t mean it, and she’s apologized.”
“How could you believe this cripple’s story?” Vincent spat on the ground. He continued, “She’s even
used Tori of trying to run her over with a car! Like hell I’ll believe it!”
Be’s eyes darkened at the word ‘cripple’ as she removed the banknotes and cards from her head
and body.
“Vincent, have you had enough?” Christian crouched down and took the wheelchair off Be. Then, he
lifted her up and put her back in the wheelchair.
“Not yet!” Rage and resentment screamed and charged through Vincent’s veins when he saw how
Christian tended Be with painstaking care. “Don’t you two like to give an eye for an eye? I’m telling
you, this scheming b*tch can forget about getting away with it after scalding my sister today!”
Teresa’s pupils shrank at his words. “Vincent, what are you—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Vincent snatched a teapot from a passing waiter and sshed its
contents onto Be. Ssh! Half of the hot water sshed onto the floor, whereas the other half
sshed onto Christian’s trouser legs and the back of Be’s hand.
It was difficult to see how severe Christian’s injuries were, but the back of Be’s delicate hand instantly
reddened with several visible blisters forming on it. She bit her lip hard, arousing pity as tears streamed
quietly down her cheeks.
“This…” Teresa’s face was red one moment and pale the next. After saying a word, she couldn’t finish
her sentence for a long time.
A flicker of surprise shed across Charlotte’s glistening eyes. After that, all that was left was a look of
amused interest.
“Why didn’t you fend it off when she sshed the pot of f*cking tea onto my sister, huh?!” Veins stood
out on Vincent’s forehead as his finger moved from the tip of Christian’s nose to Be’s. “You should
consider yourself lucky. You sshed a whole pot of tea onto my sister, but I only sshed so much
hot water onto you!” he said. Then, he dragged Teresa in an attempt to leave.
Christian lowered his eyes to nce at his sodden trouser legs. Then, he said impassively to Charlotte,
“Get a few men to stop him, and call the police.”
“Yes, Mr. Thatcher,” Charlotte replied softly before gracefully walking to the front desk to pass on the
instructions to the front deskdy.
“Christian, don’t call the police.” Be tugged at Christian’s sleeve while shaking her head with watery
eyes. “Vincent only did this in a fit of anger. At the end of the day, it was all my fault. If I hadn’t sshed
tea onto Victoria by ident, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.”
Vincent had reached the clubhouse’s entrance, but he stormed back angrily after listening to her words.
“F*ck! You know what? Goody-two-shoes and scheming b*tches like you disgust me the most!” He
lifted his leg to kick at her wheelchair, but Teresa grabbed him and stopped him with all her might.
“Vincent, would you give me a break?” she pleaded in a tearful voice.
Vincent clenched his fists and stopped what he was doing. ring steadily at Be, he spat on the
floor, saying, “How f*cking disgusting!”
“Vincent, you…” Be’s eyshes fluttered as she was too choked up to speak.
Teresa struggled to force an apologetic smile while apologizing to Be. “Sorry, Miss Spritz. Vincent
only did such a silly thing in a fit of anger. I’d like to apologize to you on his behalf. Could you please
not call the police?”
“Let them call the police as they please. Do you think I’ll be scared of that?” Vincent let out a snort
before forcibly dragging Teresa outside.
However, the two security guards summoned by Charlotte had arrived, and they stopped the couple.
At the sight of this, Teresa anxiously wanted to beg Christian and Be for mercy, but Vincent wouldn’t
let her do so.novelxo fast update
Christian looked nonchnt the whole time without batting an eye. However, when he caught a glimpse
of the blisters on Be’s hand, Victoria’s badly scalded thigh crossed his mind, and he frowned
unnoticeably. Then, he stepped behind Be’s wheelchair and wheeled her outside
