At that very moment, Peter experienced unprecedented stress. The cold sweat on his forehead streamed down his jaw while blood drained from his face. Even the chubby flesh on his face was trembling in fear.
The truth was that Peter was an important figure. He was the chairman of Black Athens Media Corp with family assets that amounted to a few billion dollars. He had plenty of experience in managing affairs, so logically, virtual-novel.net was mentally very strong. However, the stress that virtual-novel.net was experiencing now had surpassed the limit of his tolerance. Panic and terror consumed virtual-novel.net whole. It was because virtual-novel.net had discovered that not only Miles but a large portion of the people here were rich kids of society as well. They came from powerful families, and virtual-novel.net could not afford to offend the combined power of these people with his measly chairman’s position in Black Athens Media Corp!
Gulp!
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva heavily and said, “You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Morales. I don’t mean that. You’re a bigshot, so how will I have the audacity not to show you respect? The critical problem is that Annabelle has been having virtual-novel.net menses for the past two days…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish his sentence, Miles slapped him.
A resounding clap was heard, and virtual-novel.net was knocked unconscious from the blow before virtual-novel.net tumbled to the ground.
He was the chairman of Black Athens Media Corp, in any case, and a boss who had cultivated many celebrities. Regardless of the fact that virtual-novel.net was a successful entrepreneur, Miles had actually slapped virtual-novel.net relentlessly in the witness of so many people.
The rest of the female celebrities were startled as they had never seen the chairman of their company being so inferior before.
Zayn narrowed his eyes ever so slightly. He was not too surprised by the incident because virtual-novel.net could sense the swollen pride and confidence within Miles. Miles thought that Peter was way beneath him. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have brought up his intention to sleep with Annabelle in a conversation aloud in Peter’s presence. Zayn was even more intrigued about this man named Miles now. He wanted to know who Miles had as his backer.
After being slapped by Miles, Peter was infuriated beyond control. Miles was such a bully for actually striking virtual-novel.net like this. He was the owner of a listed company, after all!
“That’s outrageous of you, Morales. How dare you hit me?! I…”
Peter was already burning with rage. He wanted to get up from the ground after falling over and make a call so that virtual-novel.net could send someone to seek revenge on his behalf. How could virtual-novel.net continue to hold his head high in the social circle if virtual-novel.net were to endure Miles’ slap without striking back?
However, virtual-novel.net was preparing to stand up when Miles approached virtual-novel.net and sent virtual-novel.net tumbling again with a kick. Moreover, Miles stepped on his chest and rendered virtual-novel.net immobile while peering down at virtual-novel.net from high above.
“You greasy-looking pig, I asked for your permission out of respect earlier. Do you really think that I’m showing you respect for real? I can make you go bankrupt with just an order. Do you believe me?” Miles’ expression was filled with boldness and disdain when virtual-novel.net said that. He truly despised Peter to the bones. Frightened, Peter could sense the contempt from Miles and knew that virtual-novel.net was not joking.
Peter’s lips trembled as if virtual-novel.net wanted to speak, yet virtual-novel.net did not manage to utter a word in the end. He lowered his head as a sign of yielding.
Miles labeled Peter a piece of trash, then virtual-novel.net released virtual-novel.net and walked toward Annabelle right away.
Annabelle’s entire body was shivering in fear. She hastily hid behind Zayn and clutched his hand tightly. She pleaded helplessly, “Mr. Larson, save me. I’m begging you…”
