After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 424

Chapter 424

Michael strode toward me, his every word causing the rage within me to burn brighter by the second.

“Michael, so what if I'm desperate for a man? It has nothing to do with you. I would rather get myself amale prostitute than go to you. Please get out of my sight now. I don't want to see you!”

When he appeared just now, there was a split moment where I felt guilty. However, after hearing whathe said, my guilt was swiftly replaced by rage.

I had no intention of being together with Nicholas. Yet, he misunderstood and humiliated me in public.

“I can leave if you want me to leave. But you are coming with me!”

As Michael spoke, he grabbed my arm abruptly and started dragging me outside.

Although it was true that I wanted to leave this place, I had no intention of leaving with him.

“Michael, what are you doing? This is a restaurant. Many people are watching us! Are you trying tokidnap me?”

I struggled to free myself from his grip as I shouted wrathfully at him. I did not care about my imageanymore as he had totally pissed me off.

Michael stared back at me, his gaze burning with fury as well. However, before he could say anything,Nicholas, who had been keeping silent, opened his mouth.

“Mr. Shaw, if I am not mistaken, Anna has already divorced you. It's up to her whether to accept my

proposal or not. You have no right to interfere, and you can't force her to leave.”

Standing up, Nicholas cast a calm look at Michael. He sounded calm and composed.

Upon hearing that, Michael furrowed his brows and stared at Nicholas coldly.

“Even though we are divorced, she is still my woman. So you'd better keep your grubby hands off her.Nicholas, I'm warning you. You can't afford to cross me!”

Michael narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing a sense of hostility. He was determined to go againstNicholas no matter what.

“Is that so? I'm actually curious now to replace out what will happen if I get together with Anna. In fact, ifshe's willing to become my woman, I will gladly pay whatever price I need to pay, it would be worth it.Don't you agree, Mr. Shaw?”

Nicholas smiled faintly. He did not seem to be bothered by Michael's threat in the slightest.

I was displeased with Nicholas' words. I knew he was trying to provoke Michael, and what he saidwould only make my relationship with Michael worse.

I was well aware of what his purpose was. As a result, I found the disdain I had for him grew moreprofound.

Michael clenched his fists as he glared at Nicholas. Before the latter could react, He had landed apunch on him.

I knew Michael was good at fighting. After all, he managed to rescue me from a few kidnappers backthen. Seeing him making a move at Nicholas, I could not help but worry.

It's indeed terrifying whenever Michael gets physical. If anything happens to Nicholas, he would alsoneed to take responsibility. I couldn't help feeling concerned that Nicholas might get hurt.

While I was still deep in thought, Nicholas had already gotten beaten to the ground. The next second,he immediately stood up and charged toward Michael. The two wrestled, but it was evident thatMichael had the upper hand.

“The two of you, stop fighting!”

I shouted desperately at them. Yet, none of them listened to me. At that moment, they were obsessedwith defeating the other party.

The customers dining in the restaurant shifted their attention toward us. Some of them even seemed torecognize Michael.

“That's enough!”

The two of them were in the midst of a fierce fight, and they did not care how the others thought ofthem. I could not stand getting treated as a bargaining chip between them any longer and kept shoutingat them to stop.

Once again, Michael beat Nicholas to the ground. I saw the corner of Nicholas's mouth start to bleed.My heart was petrified in fear, for I knew there was no limit to Michael's violence once he lost his

temper.

Just when Michael was about to attack Nicholas again, I rushed toward them and stood in front ofNicholas.

Michael's gaze burned with rage when he saw me blocking his way. His fist paused in the air andtrembled incessantly.

“Anna, are you trying to protect another man now?”

If it weren't for the fact that I was a woman, I reckoned he would have punched me by then.

“Michael, that's enough. If you don't stop, you're going to injure him!”

There was no time for me to recompose my thoughts. At that moment, I only knew that I must stop himfrom escalating the fight. If Nicholas were to get injured, it would spell serious trouble for Michael. Eventhough Michael would probably replace a way to solve the issue, Nicholas was not an easy opponent to getrid of.

“Anna, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.”

Nicholas sat up and patted my shoulder gently.

I turned around and observed his face. There were bruises all over his face and bloodstain on thecorner of his mouth. He looked utterly miserable. No one would have known he was a general managerif they did not know him.

In the year that I had known him, I had never seen him in such a pathetic state. Knowing that he was asore loser, I was sure that he would take his revenge against Michael. I feared that the conflict betweenthem would not end so quickly.

“How do you feel? Is it painful?”

My brows knitted tightly together as I stared at his wounds.

Even though I was not into him, he was still my friend. I would not want to see him getting hurt.Moreover, I would not be able to forgive myself if he got hurt because of me.

“Don't worry about me. It's just some scratches. If I can't even take these, I am not qualified to be calleda man.”

Nicholas smiled at me casually before using the back of his hand to wipe off the blood on his mouth.He looked like he was not bothered by those wounds at all.

I could not help but worry. After all, his wound looked severe, and it must be painful. I guess all menliked to put on a tough front, huh? Especially in front of the woman they favored.

“Anna, how could you worry about another man right in front of me? You're just blatantly disrespectingme! How could you treat me like this?”

Michael could not bear seeing my concern for Nicholas. He kept his cold gaze on me, his chestheaving up and down as he tried to suppress his rage.

I was livid as well upon hearing his words. You are the one who hit him first.

“Michael, stop making a fuss! I really hate the way you're behaving now! Nicholas didn't even offendyou, so how could you hit him?”

I confronted him, my voice getting louder as I spoke.

“I can hit whoever I like. There is no need for a reason. Anna, you keep pissing me off today!”

His dark eyes glinted as though they could swallow me whole.
