Chapter 1167 Provoked
Naomi gritted her teeth in anger. If it were her usual self, she would have kicked him.
However, if she were to do it, doing so would only make her even more embarrassed! Therefore, she had to bear with it.
She quickly tidied up her clothes and walked towards the door.
However, before she could make it all the way out, Evan caught up with her again.
“Hey, you can’t leave just like this! Our business here isn’t over yet!”
Naomi frowned, “There’s nothing more to say between us. This project is cancelled!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“That can’t do either. We’ve agreed on the project. If you cancel it by yourself, you will have to pay the termination fee!”
“Y-you’re shameless!” Naomi shouted angrily.
It was probably because Evan was used to committing such things, therefore he did not feel ashamed at all. He even laughed shamelessly upon hearing her .
“You can curse all you want. In short, it’s impossible for Louis Group to suffer any losses!”
“You… ”
Naomi gritted her teeth. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Culver looking at her. She immediately clenched her fists again. She finally could not hold herself back any longer. While Evan was not paying attention, she punched him in the face.
Evan was caught off guard. One of his front teeth fell to the ground.
“You b*tch, how dare you hit me? I…” As he spoke, he was about to punch her with his big fist.
This time, he was blocked by Culver.
“Mr. Louis, you’re a senior here. Are you going to hit her?”
Evan gritted his teeth, “She hit me first!”
“Is that so?” Culver raised his eyebrows. “Who saw that?”
Evan was stunned, “You were just standing right here just now. She was the one who hit me first…”
The corners of Culver’s lips curled up as he replied, “I didn’t see anything.”
Naomi looked at the vague smile on Culver’s face. She had no idea what he meant by that, but she felt a little grateful for him in her heart!
She curled her lips at him as she finally found a chance to leave.
The door behind her was slammed shut in an instant and she could not be bothered by it.
In the room.
When Evan saw Naomi leave, he was still cursing.
“You b*tch, come back…”
Before his voice died away, Culver suddenly stepped forward and stepped on his finger, pressing it on the ground.
Evan was caught off guard and suddenly cried out in pain.
“My hand, my hand!”
Culver pretended not to notice his cries of pain. When he saw that Evan’s fingers had turned black, he took half a step back.
“Sorry, I didn’t see you there.”
Evan had no clue what was going on in Culver’s mind, but he still did not dare to offend Culver.
He scrambled to stand up and asked cautiously.
“What is the relationship between that woman just now and the Olsen family?”
Culver’s finger paused, “There’s nothing between us.”
“If there’s nothing between you two, then why are you helping her? The Louis Group has always been very respectful towards the Olsen Family! Why did you come all of a sudden to bring me down?”
Culver still did not move. Just when his fingers were clenched into a fist, he loosened his grip.
“I was just helping others at the sight of injustice!”
Evan became even angrier in his heart.
“Did you fall in love with that woman? You should say so. If you like her, just tell me directly! I will let you have her. I don’t think she’s anything special anyway. I don’t know how many people have played with her. It doesn’t matter if I break ties with her.”
Evan’s words were upsetting, but he did not dare to completely express his anger towards Culver, taking it out on Naomi instead.
As he suffered a loss, he would make up for it with his words.
However, before he could finish his words, a fist had already landed on him directly.
Evan was caught off guard, and to make things worse, he had been beaten up earlier. He could not calm down at all.
“D*mn it! Don’t think that just because your family has some power, you can look down on others! Your father didn’t dare to do this to me in the past… ”
Another fist was thrown at him.
“So what if I’m arrogant?! You’re not even a human!”
“You…” Evan still wanted to say something but Culver had begun to take off his watch, followed by his tie and his coat. His posture was a little scary.
Evan wanted to ask for help, but Culver had already locked the door.
In the end, he could only endure it as Culver kicked and punched him for an hour. After that, Evan laid on the ground, his whole body swollen and bruised.
Then, Culver slowly put on his coat, fastened his watch, and left.
…
In the restaurant, Queenie had been waiting for Culver for more than an hour.
While she waited, she tried to contact him, but failed. She had no choice but to wait for him patiently.
When she finally saw Culver, her heart was finally at ease. She hurriedly got up to ask him.
“What’s happened? Where did you go for so long?”
Culver shook his head. “It’s nothing!”
Queenie, with her sharp eyes, saw the scar on the back of Culver’s hand and immediately exclaimed.
“What happened? Did you bump into anything?”
Culver shook his head but he did not sit down. He only said a few words.
He only said a few words, “I have something to do at the company, so I’ll leave first. All your expenditures today will be on my tab.”
Queenie opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Culver did not give her a chance to speak, taking his leave immediately.
Queenie kicked the leg of the chair in frustration, and she no longer had the mood to eat. It was not that she wanted to marry into the rich as her family was well-off too. However, the fact remained that the arranged marriage was more of a marriage of state.
However, Culver was such an outstanding man, and she had indeed taken a liking towards him.
She failed to understand what she was lacking in and she felt that the distance between them was a bit too far.
Queenie walked out silently. When she passed through the corridor, she saw the room Evan was in.
A few people were helping a man out. The man’s body was swollen and bruised. If Queenie had not just seen him a while ago, she would not believe that he was Evan.
When she looked again, Naomi was gone. Was she the one who had beaten him up?
Just as she was in thought, Evan’s assistant, who was next to Evan, opened his mouth.
He said, “Mr. Louis, how did this happen? I’ll call the police immediately.”
Evan became irritated, “F*ck off! If you call the police, what do you want me to say to them? No matter how powerful the Louis family is, we’ll be digging our own graves if we fight with the Olsen family!”
Queenie was dumbfounded. The Olsen family?
Even an arrogant person like Evan did not dare to touch the Olsen family. There was only one Olsen family in the entire Greene City, and that was Culver’s family!
When Queenie recalled the scars on the back of Culver’s hand, she understood everything. It was obvious. Culver had been missing for a long time, and he was the one who hit Evan.
Why else would he do so?
Naomi!
It was obvious that Naomi was definitely not an ordinary friend as Culver had described.
Queenie took a meaningful look at Evan and quickly caught up to him. She took advantage of the situation and supported him.
“Uncle Louis, how did you end up like this?”
Evan had a good relationship with her father, hence he was also polite to Queenie.
“I don’t feel like talking about it anymore. I encountered a bad person while talking about the project. It’s all fine now!”
“Then, you really have to be careful next time! Who was it? How dare they hurt you like this? This isn’t something you should stomach so easily! I haven’t seen you suffer this kind of injustice before since I was a child!”
Evan was originally in a bad mood, but after being provoked by her words, he became even more enraged.
He thought to himself, “I can’t deal with Culver, but I can deal with that woman, right?”
