    Chapter 1698: Intolerable


    Griz knew what had happened and looked into the private room, her gazending on Joyce.


    After observing for a moment, she nced at Darrin and sneered, "Since your master is so capable, I


    don''t think he needs you to follow along. You''re just like a decoration, a useless man."


    Darrin had been trying to ignore her, but after hearing her words, he trembled with anger throughout his


    body.


    He retorted, "That''s right. Men can''t be relied on, so can only women be relied on? Just like your young


    master. When the criminals took action, it was all thanks to mymander."


    He paused for a moment and nced at Griz a few times. "Even the bodyguard hired is a woman,


    huh?"


    "You! That''s too much!" Griz, upon hearing Darrin mocking Reuben, couldn''t contain her anger.


    Without thinking, she swung her palm towards Darrin.


    Darrin sidestepped, agilely avoiding her attack. He reached out to grab Griz''s wrist.


    Unexpectedly, Griz swiftly flipped her wrist, dodging his grasp andunching an attack towards


    Darrin''s waist.


    Darrin''s eyes sharpened, his body slightly bent, avoiding the attack once again. While dodging, he


    extended his long leg, hooking onto Griz''s shin, intending to teach her a lesson.


    At the same time, he scolded, "You''re out of your mind! They''re all right here, what kind of fight are we


    having?"


    Griz, caught by his leg, became furious. She raised her elbow and aimed it at Darrin''s chin.


    "You dare to run your mouth. Today, I''ll definitely teach you a lesson!"


    Due to the excessive force, when she raised her arm, she identally bumped into a decorative vase


    behind her.


    "Be careful!" Darrin eximed.


    He didn''t want to make too much noise and disturb Joyce and the others.


    At this moment, his only thought was to ensure that the vase didn''t fall to the ground.


    His long arm quickly passed through Griz''s waist, but before he could dodge her attack, she struck


    his chest with her elbow. He grunted, ignoring the pain, and extended his hand to firmly catch the falling


    vase.


    However, due to the weight shifting downwards, he ended up pressing against Griz, using one hand


    to support his body and the other to hold her waist.


    Their close proximity, the touch of their skin, it was scorching hot. Griz had never been in such close


    contact with a man before. In a panic, she instinctively defended herself and grabbed onto his cor.


    Darrin realized something was off.


    He had identally touched her lips. Damn.


    He wanted to stand up, but due to being hit in the chest earlier, he felt a dull pain and couldn''t stand up


    in time. This woman had been ruthless in her attack.


    The loud noise naturally rmed everyone.


    Joyce, Luther, and Reuben turned their heads towards the sound, only to see Darrin and Griz both


    falling to the ground, tightly grasping each other. Darrin''s hand was slightly raised, protecting a vase


    that was on the verge of falling.


    Joyce was the first to stand up and approached the door.


    With concern, she asked, "Darrin, what happened? What were you two doing?"


    Darrin finally crawled off Griz, looking disheveled. He stood up and awkwardly exined, "The vase,


    it almost fell. We both tried to catch it, but ended up colliding and falling."


    He pointed at the vase in his hand, not knowing how to respond. He quickly put the vase back in its


    original ce.


    At that moment, Griz also quickly got up from the ground.


    Her fair face was flushed, and her hair was in disarray. She used her hand to tidy her long hair and


    pursed her lips without saying a word.


    Reuben approached them and asked, "Griz, what happened?"


    "Ah." Griz opened her mouth, unsure of how to exin.


    Darrin scratched his head and came up with a reason, "Um, the vase was unstable just now and


    almost fell. We both tried to catch it, but ended up bumping into each other and falling."


    Joyce looked at Darrin with suspicion. The angle and position of their fall seemed strange. Griz


    wouldn''t have had her back facing the vase, would she?


    Although she had doubts, Joyce didn''t expose Darrin. She smiled and said, "It''s just a vase. As long as


    everyone is okay, that''s what matters. Be more careful."


    "Yes." Darrin stood up straight and replied.


    "Are you alright?" Reuben also looked at Griz with surprise."No, Mr. Reuben. I''m fine," Griz said.

    She fanned herself with her palm and forced a smile. "It''s a bit hot in here. I''ll go outside for some fresh


    air. I''ll stay by the door."


    After speaking, she crouched down and quickly moved to the outside of the door.


    Their gazes met as they passed each other, causing them both to shudder and quickly look away.


    Darrin also diverted his gaze. "Commander, sorry for the disturbance. Please continue with your meal.


    I''ll guard here."


    Luther approached and pulled Joyce back, saying to Darrin, "You''ve worked hard."


    Darrin replied, "It''s my duty."


    Once Joyce, Luther, and Reuben returned to their seats, Darrin let out a heavy sigh.


    He instinctively touched his lips. The feeling from earlier was so peculiar-her lips were soft and warm,


    At the same time, a dull pain spread across his chest. He furrowed his brow, realizing that the woman


    had been merciless in her attack.


    The loudmotion naturally attracted everyone''s attention.


    Joyce, Luther, and Reuben turned to look, only to see Darrin and Griz both falling to the ground,


    tightly embracing each other. Darrin had one hand slightly raised, protecting a falling vase.


    Joyce quickly stood up and approached the door.


    She asked with concern, "Darrin, what happened? What were you two doing?"


    Darrin finally climbed off Griz, his handsome face disheveled. He stood up and awkwardly replied,


    "The vase, it was about to fall. We both tried to catch it, but we ended up colliding and falling."


    He pointed at the vase in his hand, not knowing how to exin. He quickly ced the vase back in its


    original position.


    At that moment, Griz also quickly got up from the ground.


    Her face was flushed, and her hair was in disarray. She used her palm to fan herself and gave a dry


    After speaking, she quickly moved to the outside of the door.


    Their gazes met again, and both of them froze for a moment.


    Then, Griz put on a look as if she wanted to devour him, raised her hand, and vigorously wiped the


    corners of her lips. Her beautiful eyes red at Darrin full of resentment.


    "Bastard!" she muttered, "How dare you take advantage of me!"


    Darrin felt a surge of anger, and his gaze was filled with disdain. "Who cares? It''s a joke. I even despise


    you."


    "You! You have a foul mouth! Just you wait, I''ll teach you a lesson!" Griz was filled with fury, her


    eyes shooting out sparks.


    "If you have the guts,e at me. But you have to be my opponent first," Darrin replied, uninterested.


    He didn''t want to engage with her anymore.


    "Who do you think you''re looking down on?" Griz stomped her foot in anger.


    Helpless, Darrin mmed the door shut, isting her outside.


    Damn it, she cursed.


    She was determined to teach him a lesson and show him who was in control. This was intolerable.
