Chapter 28 She Must Have a Background
Mia’s b*dy stiffened as she forcefully shook off Zack’s hand, her expression icy, “Mind yourself.”
Her action wasn’t small, drawing the attention of those nearby, who began to chuckle quietly. Clearly, they were no strangers to such incidents.
Zack, red with embarra*sment, seized Mia’s hand, “What
are you pretending to be, pure? A young woman in charge of Horizon Group? I bet you slept your way to the top!”
He forcefully pulled Mia toward him, his liquor-stained mouth moving in for a k*ss.
Slap!
Mia heavily slapped him across the face, “Get lost!”
Frank was shocked and hadn’t expected Zack to suddenly lose control. He stepped forward, landing a punch on Zack’s face.
Zack, in pain, let out a shrill cry of rage and lunged at Frank.
People nearby hurried to help, but many were secretly
supporting Zack, and Frank seemed to be at a disadvantage.
”
In the chaos, Mia grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it over Zack’s head.
He fell with a thud.
Blood poured from his head, and he glared menacingly at Mia, “I’ll make you pay!”
Mia stood her ground, casually tossing the bottle to the floor, “Wait and see. I’d like to see what kind of show Mr. Thompson can put on for me.”
Initially, some were going to support Zack, but seeing Mia’s fearless action with the wine bottle, they quickly withdrew.
This Miss Clinton was clearly not to be trifled with; it was better for them not to get involved.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and a tall, handsome figure walked
His eyes scanned the chaotic room, finally resting on Mia, disheveled and in disarray.
“Mia, come here.”
His words successfully halted everyone.
Zack started to curse but stopped when he saw the man’s face,
“Mr. Smith?”
”
Joe didn’t look at him, his eyes fixed on Mia.
Seeing her motionless, he frowned more deeply, “Well? Aren’t you coming?”
Mia looked at him indifferently.
Joe wanted to throw a sarcastic comment, but noticing the scratches on Mia’s hand, he swallowed his words.
He stepped over to Zack, looking down at him, “What were you trying to do?”
Zack panicked. The person who had told him to teach Mia a lesson hadn’t mentioned her connection with Joe!
He shook his head like a rattling drum, “Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!”
“I think your time as Chamber of Commerce President has come to an end,” Joe sneered, stepping on Zack’s hand without mercy.
Zack screamed in pain.
Joe, looking at Mia’s disheveled appearance, snorted, and carelessly draped his coat over her, “Let’s go.”
Mia glanced back at Zack, lying on the floor.
She didn’t believe he would suddenly attack her. There had to be someone else behind this.
Mia helped Frank up, and he quickly shook his head, “Thank you… I’m fine.”
From start to finish, those who were previously arrogant said not another word.
The group made their way to the hotel entrance, where Mia handed Joe his coat back, “Thank you, we’ll be leaving now.”
“He’s in this state, and he can still drive?”
Joe looked at Frank indifferently, recalling that the last time they went to a Smith family banquet, Frank had also accompanied Mia.
What was their relationship?
