Chapter 651


    Chapter 651 I Just Beat Him Up


    Perhaps, Louis’ gaze was so intimidating that Theodore Frost shuddered. Louis looked as if he was a


    man of his word.


    Previously, Theodore had no qualms about going to the police station with Daphne because it would


    only harm her reputation, which had nothing to do with him. However, if he were to end up at the police


    station with a brat, he would lose his pride. The spark in their romance would be the icing on the cake,


    but it would do him no good if word got out about his fight with a young man. Moreover, he had to work


    on an important uing project soon.


    After straightening his cor, Theodore spat a mouthful of blood before sneering, “Come against me if


    you have the guts to. I’ll be waiting for you!” Leaving Louis with those words, he turned around and


    entered the car beside him.


    When the guards heard that the victim didn’t intend to pursue the matter, they let go of Louis. One of


    the senior guards even advised him, “Hey, brat. Talk it out if a conflict arises. Don’t do anything out of


    impulse. You look pretty young, though. You must be a student. What if you end up in the police


    station?”


    Louis went silent for a few seconds before replying, “He showed up in front of my girlfriend’s house in


    the middle of the night, trying to harass her.”


    “What?!” The security guards widened their eyes upon hearing his statement.


    One of the security guards said, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have stopped you! You should’ve beaten


    him up!”


    “It’s hard to believe a beast was hiding behind that respectable facade!”


    “What a jerk!”


    “A b*stard!”


    “Scumbag!”


    “If you see him around next time, please let me know,” Louis uttered while looking at them.


    The security guards agreed righteously. “Don’t worry, young man. We work by shifts here, but we can


    still recall his appearance. We will notify all staff tomorrow to keep an eye on him and prevent him from


    entering our housing area!”


    “Thank you.”


    “No worries. This is our job, but should we call the police instead?”


    “Calling the police will affect my girlfriend’s career. He will probably know when you see him next time,”


    Louis said.


    One of the guards patted his shoulders and sighed. “I get it. We’re all just trying to make ends meet.


    Your girlfriend must have it hard to meet such a jerk boss. Tell her to get a new job instead. Anyway,


    you seem like a responsible boyfriend. If I were you, I probably wouldn’t have the courage to do the


    same thing.”


    Another guard chimed in, “No problem, young man. We’ll make sure your girlfriend stays safe.”


    Before Louis left, he left them his phone number. Then, he went to the convenience store nearby to get


    a few packs of cigarettes for the security guards before he left.


    Sitting in the car, he looked around at the housing area before his eyes darkened. He couldn’t imagine


    what might have happened if Daphne hadn’t left her lipstick in the car. At that moment, he gradually


    tightened his grip on the steering wheel. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and called Keaton.


    After that, he filled Keaton in on what had happened and inquired whether he knew the man in


    question.


    After hearing that, Keaton questioned tentatively, “Could you be talking about Theodore Frost?”


    “Who’s that?”


    “He is Daphne’s ex-boyfriend. Hence, when she became famous in the first few years after her debut,


    she attracted many pursuers. Theodore was one of the men who tried the hardest, and none of the


    women could resist his pursuits.”


    After he heard that, Louis pursed his lips. “What happened after that?”


    “After Theodore and Daphne got together for a few months, his wife exposed them and used


    Daphne of ruining her family. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts and had been married for a


    long time, but since they lived separately, no one from Highside knew about his marriage. After it was


    exposed, Daphne immediately broke up with him and held a press conference to apologize publicly.


    Unfortunately, his wife didn’t buy it. She cooperated with many media outlets to ruin Daphne’s


    reputation. At that time, nearly the whole Inte was bashing her. Due to that, she went on a hiatus for


    quite some time. She only managed to make aeback after swiping major awards for a movie three


    years ago.”


    “So, that man I bumped into today was that same jerk,” Louis muttered.


    “Theodore and his wifee from influential families, or they wouldn’t have been able to ruin her


    reputation. You didn’t do anything to him, did you?”


    “Nope. I just beat him up.”


    Keaton was stunned by his response and remarked, “It’s not a big deal. I’ll try to find out why he went


    to look for Daphne and update you.”


    “Sure.”


    …


    On the other hand, Daphne sat beside the couch, wrapped her arms around her knees, and fell into a


    daze. It took her some time to gather her thoughts. Then, she picked up her phone and checked the


    time. It had been more than an hour since Louis left. She scrolled for his name on her phone, but her


    fingers hovered above the screen as she hesitated. Eventually, she quit the contact directory, opened


    the chatbox, and sent him a message asking if he had reached home. Since he didn’t reply


    immediately, she ced her phone down and entered the bathroom. Afterward, she turned on her


    phone aftering out of the shower.


    Louis sent a reply to her ten minutes ago that he had arrived home.


    In the meantime, Daphne sat on the couch, editing her sentences repeatedly. After typing a long


    paragraph, she deleted them all. She repeated the same action several times before lying down on the


    couch.


    The post about my rtionship with Theodore is still avable online, and anti-fans would asionally


    attack me with it. Fortunately, Louis has no interest in entertainment news, so he is unaware of this. I


    can’t keep that secret from him forever, so there’s no point in trying. Despite this, I don’t want him to


    learn anything about my trashy past. With that thought, she sighed and picked up her phone again as


    shey on the couch.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Then, Daphne texted Louis. ‘We have a shoot to do tomorrow. You should get some rest. Goodnight.’


    After sending the message, she returned to the bedroom and plopped onto the bed.


    …


    The following day, in the afternoon, Freya entered Theodore’s office. She smirked after observing him


    for a while. “What’s that on your face, Mr. Frost? Did you bump into gangsters on your way homest


    night?”


    With a glum expression, he retorted, “It’s none of your business.”


    His reaction earned a chuckle from her. “Sorry for crossing the line. Let’s move on to discuss our


    coboration.”


    After Freya brought up the topic, Theodore uttered, “I heard about the new project in New Coast by


    Pearson Group. I don’t think it’ll be hard for me to get the coboration. In other words, I can take it


    down alone, so I have no reason to work with you.”


    Then, she sat across from him, crossed her legs, and lighted a cigarette. “I do not doubt that, but I’ve


    also heard you’re not an honest businessman, Mr. Frost. Aidan Pearson hates people like you the


    most. Do you think he’ll let you go once he learns about the nefarious things you do behind the


    scenes?”


    “No businessman is honest. Did you think Aidan Pearson is innocent after securing the president


    position in Pearson Group within a few years and even ruining the entire Pearson Family?”
