Chapter 168


    “Mr. Walker, this incident has nothing to do with me. I did not lift a finger against that man.”


    “You sure are good at twisting your words, aren’t you? Are you telling me that you were not the cause


    of the incident?”


    “Well, it happened because of me. But, beating up that man was not my intention! As soon as


    Ms. Sanders spoke, I immediately asked them to stop.”


    “It wasn’t your intention to beat the man up… If you’re so innocent, then why did you have to wait until


    someone begged you to stop to stop your friends from beating you up? What were you doing? doing


    before that?” Eric scoffed.


    I felt extremely wronged. The entire incident took ce in mere seconds – itsted no more than a


    minute in total. Furthermore, I was also paralyzed with shock at the beginning. As soon as I heard


    Camille’s voice, I immediately got up to stop them from continuing. However, what came out of Eric’s


    mouth sounded more like Camille had to beg me before I was willing to stop them. Hmph; just as I


    expected. As long as one has a mouth to speak of, even the irrational bes


    reasonable. “Mr. Walker, that is not the case. I didn’t want to y Ms. Sanders begging me for nothing.”


    “It already happened, so what’s the point of saying all this now?” He stubbornly refused to listen to my


    exnation. His gaze was icy and his words could choke a person to death as he continued, “I hear


    your friends are quite influential. Young Master Dn and Young Master Jeremy, right? They’re both


    local bullies, aren’t they? No wonder they are so ruthless. They don’t hide their words either, do


    they? Insulting people for their profession, calling them fake… I know they were trying to act tough in


    front of a woman. But, if I didn’t know better, I would have thought they harbored a great resentment


    against that man!”


    Those words of his were too harsh. What does he mean by acting tough in front of a woman? The


    situation was nothing like that! Despite hearing only one side of the story, Eric was adamant about


    making things difficult for me. Frankly speaking, it was simply a case of bullying the weak – he was no


    better than that man. So I lost patience. “Mr. Walker, what happened, happened. The man was


    beaten; Miss. Sanders was embarrassed. And it all happened because of me. Nothing will change


    that. So why aren’t you upfront about what I can do to get you to forgive me?”


    “Do you think I will forgive you?”


    “If you don’t n on forgiving me, you should have said so sooner! Why did you have to waste so much


    of my time?” So, I scoffed, “About what you said just now… you were right about one thing,


    Mr. Walker. Those in the know would think you’re doing this for a woman. Those who know nothing


    wonder what kind of grudge you hold against me! Don’t you feel ashamed for making things so difficult


    for an impotent woman like me?!”


    “Being tough now, huh?” Instead of losing his temper, he smiled.


    “I’m not being harsh. I’m telling the truth. If you were Ms. Sanders who was being cursed and


    threatened with violence, you would have stood aside and watched from the sidelines, Mr. Walker?”


    “Let them try if they dare,” he snorted condescendingly.


    “Well, that’s it then. My friends have done nothing wrong. If there were any mistakes to be found, then it


    was her little celebrity arrogance to me. Not only did he insult me   first, but he also tried to hit me. My


    friends simply did what they should have done.”


    He was visibly surprised. “What do you mean? Did he swear at you first and even try to hit you?”


    “Why else? Don’t tell me you thought we were so free that we had nothing better to do but hit people


    for fun?”


    It was rare to see him looking awkward and not knowing what to do. However, he immediately


    confidently questioned, “If it wasn’t your fault, then why didn’t you answer my callsst night?”


    His words implied that I should have taken his callsst night and proactively exined myself to


    him. Hearing those words, I forgot my original purpose ofing here to apologize to him. Instead, I


    mockingly red at Eric. “Mr. Walker, you are so funny. What does this have to do with you? Why

    should I exin myself to you?”


    In response, Eric red at me coldly. “Then why did youe here to exin yourself to me?”
