Chapter 1624


    On the other hand, Milton was still unaware of the reality of the situation, and he smirked once more


    as he passed his mboyant-looking cigarette around in the crowd of people standing beside him.


    Giving Kylie a pretentious frown, he said, “Kylie, why is your boyfriend like this? He''s so poor that he


    smokes those shady, brandless cigarettes. You''re embarrassed by him!”


    Nathan remained dispassionate as he heard those words, but Kyliepletely lost her calm.


    Upon seeing Kylie''s face redden in rage, Mavis quickly interjected and said, “Hah... Mr. Hayes, most


    of us are just averagepared to you. I mean... Mr. Hayes, you''re much richer and more


    sessful than us. Oh, you must share some of your ssy cigarettes and wine with us old


    ssmates!”


    Milton was extremely pleased to hearthose words. “Hah... Of course.”


    As he basked in his whimsical glory, he smiled pompously at Nathan and said, “Nathan, oh, Nathan.


    I don''t like to be too critical of others but look at you. What kind of trash are you even smoking? Do


    you really think that you deserve Kylie? Let me give you a word of advice. Just stay away from her


    as you''re unworthy.”


    Nathan pursed his lips. Smoking his Commander-exclusive Cigarettes, he said, “So who''s


    deserving of her?”


    Hah! Just as I expectedUt seems like this guy is self-conscious too.


    Milton pointed at himself without hesitation and dered, “Me!”


    Raising his eyebrows and his head in an ugly angle, he continued, “If you want to talk about money,


    the Hayes family asset is worth more than a hundred billion. Speaking about social influence,This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Timothy Carter, Brimmopolis1 chief of police, calls me his brother! You can say that I am an


    impable man. I deserve to be with Kylie more than anyone!”


    After making those jarring statements, he came up closer to Kylie and said tenderly, “Kylie, I''ve


    been in love with you since our college days. For the past few years, you''ve always taken up an


    irreceable spot in my heart. Fate has brought us together once more. I know that you are the one


    for me. Oh, Kylie, you should break up with him. With me as your boyfriend, you''ll have all the


    riches you desire. Isn''t that better than staying with this poor, mediocre man?”


    Everyone at the scene was stunned.


    Though they knew that Milton used to have feelings for Kylie, they did not expect him to hold onto


    them for that long, nor did they see a sudden confessioning.


    Will Kylie choose Milton over her current boyfriend?


    For the bystanders, that was the only thing they had in mind. The situation was bing rather


    entertaining to watch.


    Just as Kylie was about to make her response, the doors of the private room were suddenly kicked


    open.


    Bang! Bang!


    Everybody jumped.


    Milton was furious that the noise pollution ruined his passionate confession speech. “Who the hell is


    at the door?” he thundered.


    In the sh of a second, a dark-skinned male with a towering stature resembling that of a


    professional wrestler barged in, followed by a team ofckeys.


    The team seemed to consist of the top fighters from various countries. They looked hostile and


    vicious.


    Milton almost fell to his knees upon seeing the buff, ape-like leader of the team. Even his lips were


    trembling in fear. “Thaddeus!” he spluttered.


    As it turned out, the man who looked like a ck ape was the leader of The Cross Gang, Thaddeus.


    He had taken his team to track down Nathan for injuring his subordinate, Levi.


    Striding in with a malicious smile on his face, he took a quick nce across the room and growled


    at Milton, “You little brat. What were you saying?


    Though Milton had a strong financial background, he knew that the thugs standing before him would


    beat him up all the same if he made the wrong move.


    His legs had turned into jelly the moment he saw theme in.


    Upon being interrogated byThaddeus himself, Milton felt as if he was about to faint. “M-Mr.


    Thaddeus, I didn''t know that it was you. I''ve talked rubbish without thinking. I''m so sorry. Please...


    please spare me just this once!” he pleaded.


    Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, then replied, “Kneel before me. And smack yourself a hundred times


    on your face!”


    “Yes, yes, I will do it! I will do it now!”


    Milton copsed onto the ground and began hitting his own cheeks with considerable force. Smack!


    Smack! Smack!


    The piercing sounds of the pping were all that could be heard in the private room, which had


    turned dead silent. Everyone was sneaking uneasy looks at Thaddeus.


    After giving Milton his punishment, Thaddeus shifted his focus to the others in the room. “So, which


    one of you is Nathan Cross? Come out!” hemanded.


    Many people in the crowd, including Mavis, turned their heads to stare at Nathan.
