"Next time, let me know when you want to kick someone, and I'll help you. Look at your shoes thathave fallen off. Doesn't your foot hurt?"
Greg squatted down without preamble, put Abigail's right foot on his precious suit pants, and carefullyhelped her put on her shoes again before standing up.
"Are you all right?"
Greg immediately checked whether Abigail was injured.
His attitude suddenly left Abigail slightly stunned.
This was the first time a man had defended her in such a way in front of others.
Abigail's eyes suddenly turned watery.
"She provoked me first."
Abigail didn't want to explain it at first, but for some reason, she suddenly felt wronged when facingGreg's soft eyes.
"Really?"
Greg turned his head suddenly, his tender eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Did you provoke her first?"
Selina was frightened by Greg's eyes, but she said unwillingly, "I didn't. Mr. Buckley, don't be deceivedby her vixen appearance. Everyone saw it—she kicked me. How could a respectable young lady be
kicking someone during such an occasion? It's uncouth!"
Howard was a person who doted on his daughter. When he saw how angrily his daughter was whileclutching her stomach, he immediately said with some displeasure, "Mr. Buckley, let's be reasonablehere. We have a very pleasant cooperation, so don't let the harmony between us get ruined because ofa woman."
He was obviously trying to pressure Greg with their cooperation.
Howard was also a little bothered by his daughter's injury. Greg's business had been whitewashed inrecent years. He looked like a serious businessman, and Howard had forgotten what Greg wasoriginally doing.
Their cooperation had entered the second stage, and Howard was even more confident that Gregwould not cut off the cooperation of the Buckley Family for an insignificant woman, so he figured hecould be much more blunt with his words.
When Greg heard this father-daughter pair talking in such a way, he suddenly laughed.
He was actually very good-looking when he smiled, and he even had faintly discernible dimples.
Abigail didn't know what he was laughing at, but she was sensitively aware that Greg was angry.
"Forget it. I wasn't injured, so don't worry about it."
Abigail's original intention was to make Greg calm down. Besides, what Howard said just now meantthat the two had a cooperative relationship. She didn't want to ruin the Buckley Group's businessbecause of her little matter.
But when Selina and Howard heard these words, they felt offended, and even thought that Abigail wastoo arrogant.
"Forget it? You hit my daughter, and yet you said we should just forget it?"
"Then what do you think we should do, Mr. Zimmer?"
Greg spoke lightly.
His smile was still the same, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he even exuded a chilling air allover his body. Nevertheless, Howard was so blinded by anger and didn't notice Greg's change indemeanor at all.
"Mr. Buckley, you have seen what happened today. If this woman doesn't let my daughter hit her back,and she won't kneel on the ground and apologize to my daughter, then I won't let this go!"
Howard's words completely angered Greg.
Greg's smile suddenly subsided.
"Let your daughter beat her back? Do you think she deserves it?"
"This woman is really unworthy, so I'll replace someone else to beat her."
Howard misunderstood Greg's words. He even thought that Greg wanted to put things to rest andwould rather abandon Abigail, and he couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart.
Sure enough, she's an insignificant woman. Compared with business, men would still place moreimportance on their business rather than women.
Howard thought so, so he called his driver and said to him, "Go and beat that woman up for me. Don'tstop unless I tell you to."
The driver had always been loyal to Howard. After listening to his instructions, he immediately steppedforward to slap Abigail, but before he could hit her, his arm was grabbed in the air.
He raised his head suddenly and saw a flash of murderous intent in Greg's eyes.
"Do you take me for a dead guy?"
After he said this, the driver's arm was suddenly twisted by Greg.
"Ah!"
The driver hugged his arms and mourned in pain, but the whole banquet was silent.
It was not until this moment that some people started to realize Greg's identity and background.
He was not only the president of the Buckley Group, but he was also the living King of Hell that leftpeople terror-stricken at his mere presence.
Howard was also stunned by Greg's move.
"Mr. Buckley, what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean?"
Greg looked at Howard and the shivering Selina, who was hiding behind her father, and said with asneer, "Everyone knows that I would stand up for my close ones, but you don't? My woman only foughtback because she was provoked by your daughter. But even if she hit Selina for no reason, that wouldbe your daughter's honor, and if you guys were obedient, maybe I would spare you a meal. But theZimmers are something else, huh, asking my woman to kneel and apologize to you—I'm not sure tocall you brave or foolish!"
His words were dark and cold, and it even brought the surrounding air down to a freezing point.
Howard was livid.
"Mr. Buckley, aren't you too arrogant? Don't think that just because you are the Fourth Young Master ofHarrion, my family would not dare to offend you."
"Offend me? Do you think that you haven't offended me enough now? You slandered my woman, andyou still want her to apologize to you. Yet you still say you didn't offend me?"
Greg's words almost angered Howard to death.
"Mr. Buckley, your ability to confuse right and wrong is astounding. It was this woman who hit mydaughter. The Zimmer Family can be considered a century-old family in Harrion. How could we suffersuch grievances?"
"You won't have to suffer if the Zimmer Family disappears from Harrion."
As soon as Greg said these words, the whole crowd was in an uproar.
The Zimmers had been in Harrion for over a century, and they were deeply ingrained here. How couldthey simply disappear based on a word or two from Greg?
But everyone could tell that Greg wasn't joking based on his expression, and they couldn't help but feelthat the air was a little oppressed.
Howard was also stunned.
He was shocked by the murderous aura that flashed in Greg's eyes.
What arrogance!
How could a century-old family like ours disappear!
At this point, Selina was mad.
"Greg Buckley, are you blind? How dare you stand up for such a sl*t! Do you know how many wild menshe has been with? I didn't expect you to like loose women."
Selina's words made Abigail's face sink.
She didn't intend to care about the Zimmers. Even though Greg said those words just now, she thoughtabout turning around and persuading him. But now, Selina was out to bury herself. It made Abigail alittle less willing to bear this slander.
As soon as Selina finished speaking, Abigail stepped forward and gave her two tight slaps on each sideof her face, causing her face to swell up instantly.
"If you slander me with nonsense, I won't hesitate to slap your jaw off."
Abigail looked at her coldly, giving off a chill.
When Howard saw that his daughter had suffered a loss again, he was so angry that he couldn't careabout anything else. He raised his hand and moved toward Abigail.
"I'll kill you, b*tch!"
However, before his hand landed on Abigail, he was kicked away by Greg.
"You really think I'm dead, huh!"
Greg's expression was very dark and solemn.
Howard couldn't get up for a long time after being kicked.
When she saw that her father was kicked, Selina hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. She lookedat Greg while crying and said, "Mr. Buckley, why can't you distinguish between right and wrong?"
"Who gave you the permission to start caring about my business? Who the f*ck are you? Besides, don'tyou think I know better than you what my own woman is like? You actually slandered her and called hera promiscuous woman. Who gave you the courage to do so? Seriously, well done, you guys!"
After Greg finished speaking, he stepped forward and pulled Selina's long hair, forcing her to look up athim.
Greg was handsome, but now he was also cold.
It was the first time that Selina looked at Greg so closely, and she couldn't help but feel a littleemotional. But the next moment, Greg raised his hand and slapped her face.
"Ah!"
Selina struggled but could not dodge.
When Howard saw Greg acting like this, he couldn't help but want to step forward and pull his daughteraway, but he was hurting so much from the kick earlier that he couldn't get up.
Greg was like a messenger from hell at this time as he slapped Selina's face angrily.
"Since your mouth is full of sh*t, then I think you won't need it anymore."
Greg's words and slaps were ruthless, and the corner of Selina's mouth started to bleed from hisslapping. Her swollen face was an appalling sight.
"Sob, sob…"
Selina was able to speak at first, but then she could only whimper, and she finally fainted.
There was blood all over her face and mouth, and her whole face looked swollen. Nobody could seeher original appearance anymore.
Greg looked around the audience, and everyone took a step back involuntarily when his gaze sweptover.
"Wherever dares to slander my woman in the future—this is how you'll end up too! You have toremember that I am a thug, not a gentleman, let alone a nobleman. And I don't have a principle of nothitting women. I am very protective of my loved ones even if they are in the wrong, and I will double thedamage to whoever that messes with my people. Understand?"
His words were not loud, but they seemed to hit everyone's heart, making them tremble.
Abigail was shocked.
She could see that Greg believed in her, and it was because he believed in her that he was sodefensive and protective.
No one had ever sought justice for her in such an arrogant and high profile way. Even when she wasschemed against by Emma five years ago, she suffered the consequences alone.
At present, this man's every move suddenly made Abigail want to cry, and she felt very moved.
She knew that after Greg made such a fuss, no one would dare to say anything, but she still hoped thateveryone would know the truth.
"Greg, I think we can show the audience the surveillance video. Although I don't care about othersslandering me, I don't want to be thought of as a bully."
Abigail spoke.
Greg was full of murderous aura, like a devil. Only when he came into contact with Abigail's clear eyesdid he feel a hint of warmth.
"Get someone to replace the surveillance video and project it on the big screen here. I want to see how theZimmers slandered my woman!"
When Greg gave an order, someone immediately ran to the monitoring room to get the video.
