Chapter 1698: Intolerable

Grizela knew what had happened and looked into the private room, hergaze landing on Joyce.

After observing for a moment, she glanced at Darrin and sneered,"Since your master is so capable, I don't think he needs you to followalong. You're just like a decoration, a useless man."

Darrin had been trying to ignore her, but after hearing her words, hetrembled with anger throughout his body.

He retorted, "That's right. Men can't be relied on, so can only womenbe relied on? Just like your young master. When the criminals tookaction, it was all thanks to my commander.”

He paused for a moment and glanced at Grizela a few times. "Even thebodyguard hired is a woman, huh?"

“You! That's too much!" Grizela, upon hearing Darrin mocking Reuben,couldn't contain her anger.

Without thinking, she swung her palm towards Darrin.

Darrin sidestepped, agilely avoiding her attack. He reached out to grabGrizela's wrist.

Unexpectedly, Grizela swiftly flipped her wrist, dodging his grasp andlaunching an attack towards Darrin's waist.

Darrin's eyes sharpened, his body slightly bent, avoiding the attackonce again. While dodging, he extended his long leg, hooking ontoGrizela's shin, intending to teach her a lesson.

At the same time, he scolded, "You're out of your mind! They're all righthere, what kind of fight are we having?"

Grizela, caught by his leg, became furious. She raised her elbow andaimed it at Darrin's chin.

"You dare to run your mouth. Today, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"Due to the excessive force, when she raised her arm, she accidentallybumped into a decorative vase behind her.

"Be careful!" Darrin exclaimed.

He didn't want to make too much noise and disturb Joyce and theothers.

At this moment, his only thought was to ensure that the vase didn't fallto the ground.

His long arm quickly passed through Grizela's waist, but before hecould dodge her attack, she struck his chest with her elbow. Hegrunted, ignoring the pain, and extended his hand to firmly catch thefalling vase.

However, due to the weight shifting downwards, he ended up pressingagainst Grizela, using one hand to support his body and the other tohold her waist.

Their close proximity, the touch of their skin, it was scorching hot.Grizela had never been in such close contact with a man before. In apanic, she instinctively defended herself and grabbed onto his collar.Darrin realized something was off.

He had accidentally touched her lips. Damn.

He wanted to stand up, but due to being hit in the chest earlier, he felt adull pain and couldn't stand up in time. This woman had been ruthlessin her attack.

The loud noise naturally alarmed everyone.

Joyce, Luther, and Reuben turned their heads towards the sound, onlyto see Darrin and Grizela both falling to the ground, tightly graspingeach other. Darrin's hand was slightly raised, protecting a vase thatwas on the verge of falling.

Joyce was the first to stand up and approached the door.

With concern, she asked, "Darrin, what happened? What were you twodoing?"

Darrin finally crawled off Grizela, looking disheveled. He stood up andawkwardly explained, "The vase, it almost fell. We both tried to catch it,but ended up colliding and falling.”

He pointed at the vase in his hand, not knowing how to respond. Hequickly put the vase back in its original place.

At that moment, Grizela also quickly got up from the ground.

Her fair face was flushed, and her hair was in disarray. She used herhand to tidy her long hair and pursed her lips without saying a word.Reuben approached them and asked, "Grizela, what happened?""Ah." Grizela opened her mouth, unsure of how to explain.

Darrin scratched his head and came up with a reason, "Um, the vasewas unstable just now and almost fell. We both tried to catch it, butended up bumping into each other and falling."

Joyce looked at Darrin with suspicion. The angle and position of theirfall seemed strange. Grizela wouldn't have had her back facing thevase, would she?

Although she had doubts, Joyce didn't expose Darrin. She smiled andsaid, "It's just a vase. As long as everyone is okay, that's what matters.Be more careful.”

"Yes." Darrin stood up straight and replied.

"Are you alright?" Reuben also looked at Grizela with surprise."No, Mr.Reuben. I'm fine," Grizela said.

She fanned herself with her palm and forced a smile. “It's a bit hot inhere. I'll go outside for some fresh air. I'll stay by the door.”

After speaking, she crouched down and quickly moved to the outside ofthe door.

Their gazes met as they passed each other, causing them both toshudder and quickly look away.

Darrin also diverted his gaze. "Commander, sorry for the disturbance.Please continue with your meal. I'll guard here."

Luther approached and pulled Joyce back, saying to Darrin, "You'veworked hard."

Darrin replied, "It's my duty."

Once Joyce, Luther, and Reuben returned to their seats, Darrin let outa heavy sigh.

He instinctively touched his lips. The feeling from earlier was sopeculiar-her lips were soft and warm, completely contrasting her colddemeanor.

At the same time, a dull pain spread across his chest. He furrowed hisbrow, realizing that the woman had been merciless in her attack.

The loud commotion naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Joyce, Luther, and Reuben turned to look, only to see Darrin andGrizela both falling to the ground, tightly embracing each other. Darrinhad one hand slightly raised, protecting a falling vase.

Joyce quickly stood up and approached the door.

She asked with concern, "Darrin, what happened? What were you twodoing?"

Darrin finally climbed off Grizela, his handsome face disheveled. Hestood up and awkwardly replied, "The vase, it was about to fall. Weboth tried to catch it, but we ended up colliding and falling.”

He pointed at the vase in his hand, not knowing how to explain. Hequickly placed the vase back in its original position.

At that moment, Grizela also quickly got up from the ground.

Her face was flushed, and her hair was in disarray. She used her palmto fan herself and gave a dry laugh. "It's a bit hot in here. I, I'l gooutside for some fresh air. I'll guard by the door."

After speaking, she quickly moved to the outside of the door.

Their gazes met again, and both of them froze for a moment.

Then, Grizela put on a look as if she wanted to devour him, raised herhand, and vigorously wiped the corners of her lips. Her beautiful eyesglared at Darrin full of resentment.

"Bastard!" she muttered, "How dare you take advantage of me!"Darrin felt a surge of anger, and his gaze was filled with disdain. "Whocares? It's a joke. I even despise you."

“You! You have a foul mouth! Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson!"Grizela was filled with fury, her eyes shooting out sparks.

"If you have the guts, come at me. But you have to be my opponentfirst,” Darrin replied, uninterested. He didn't want to engage with heranymore.

"Who do you think you're looking down on?" Grizela stomped her footin anger.

Helpless, Darrin slammed the door shut, isolating her outside.

Damn it, she cursed.

She was determined to teach him a lesson and show him who was incontrol. This was intolerable.
