He gave Iris a kick right in the belly, and it put Iris in so much pain that virtual-novel.net squatted down. She covered virtual-novel.net belly with virtual-novel.net hand in agony.
“Witch, you dare to slap me?!”
“I’m going to kill you!”
Soren moved forward and grabbed Iris’ hair before virtual-novel.net raised his hand and gave virtual-novel.net a slap.
In an instant, a large group of staff gathered from the surroundings.
Rowena quickly moved forward and whispered, “Mr. Harlow, please calm down. This is Mr. Cedar’s place. If you make a big scene and let Mr. Cedar see it, virtual-novel.net will scold you again.”
Soren nodded. He released his hand and pointed at Iris.
“I’ll spare you this time because of Mr. Cedar. If you dare to make a fuss again, I’ll slap you to death, witch!”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net spat on Iris. Then, virtual-novel.net brought Rowena and left pridefully.
Iris felt hurt and humiliated. She squatted on the floor and cried sobbed.
Everyone around virtual-novel.net was laughing at her, and nobody walked forward to pass virtual-novel.net a tissue.
Hegemony Entertainment was totally a rubbish company.
***
The weather was very sunny, and the air was filled with floral fragrance.
Iris, whose body was full of pain, went back to the Flowers Garden. She sat on the staircase alone. She held the crystal necklace pendant with virtual-novel.net hand while missing the man in virtual-novel.net memories.
‘Where are you, Nelson? Are you still alive? I miss you so much.’
At this time, a familiar voice was heard.
“Ms. Cruz.”
It was Thomas.
Iris quickly kept the pendant away. She used virtual-novel.net hand to wipe virtual-novel.net tears before virtual-novel.net flashed a smile.
“Tom, you’re here?”
“Yes, I came to yearn for the happy times that I spent with Dad and Scott.”
Thomas sat beside Iris. He sophisticatedly noticed virtual-novel.net tears and the injuries on virtual-novel.net body and face. His expression immediately darkened.
“Ms. Cruz, who beat you up?”
“Huh? What?” Iris quickly denied it. “No, nothing happened…”
Thomas said, “Ms. Cruz, I was a soldier for five years on the west coast. I lived in a warzone every day. I can tell at a glance whether you’re beaten up or not. Tell me who did this to you!”
When virtual-novel.net saw Thomas’ fierce gaze, virtual-novel.net wondered if Thomas would kill virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net said Soren’s name. Iris did not want to protect Soren. Instead, virtual-novel.net was worried that Thomas would be impulsive and do something regretful. The person virtual-novel.net wanted to protect was Thomas.
After all, Thomas was Nelson’s son.
“Tom, you’ve overthought. I just fell down just now. Nobody beat me. It’s true.”
Thomas narrowed his eyes. Since virtual-novel.net did not want to tell him, it was useless even if virtual-novel.net kept asking. He purposely chuckled to ease the awkwardness. “I see. I think I’ve misunderstood.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net reached into his pocket and took out a tapping device. He put it in Iris’ pocket at an invisible speed without virtual-novel.net realizing it.
Iris got up and said, “Um, I still have something to do. I’m leaving first. We’ll talk again later.”
“Oh, okay. ”
Watching Iris’ back as virtual-novel.net left, Thomas’ gaze showed ruthlessness.
There were not many people whom virtual-novel.net cared about. As long as it was a person whom virtual-novel.net cared about, virtual-novel.net would not allow other people to simply injure her. Since that person dared to injure Iris, Thomas would want to find that person…
And kill him!
