Riches in Disguise

There was no need to escalate an issue that was already resolved. Mr. Zimmer had treated me to a meal, and his daughter gifted me a car. I would never want to put Mr. Zimmer in such a difficult position.

So, I decided to speak up again. This time, I addressed Alexander. "Girls can be petty. Don't stoop to her level. Just be the bigger person."

I didn't expect Charlotte to suddenly get angry and push me. "You pathetic loser! Get lost! If you dare say another word, I'll hit you too!"

Then, she grabbed Alexander's hair. "Why so quiet? I thought you were acting tough! Go on then!"

Other people in the bar looked at us in shock and fear.

It seemed like Alexander held high prestige at the bar, so everyone was surprised

to see him being bullied by a girl and was curious about who she was.

Lucas walked toward us and asked, "Babe, who is this? What are you doing?"

Charlotte let out a cold laugh. "Lucas, you helped me settle my problems with the Arnoult Group, but you've never met the person behind it, right?

"Meet Alexander Arnoult, the heir to the Arnoult Group! He was the one responsible for what happened that night!"

"It was him?" Lucas scanned Alexander up and down and let out a scoff. "I guess we should even thank him for bringing us together."

I looked at Lucas, feeling speechless. What was he playing at?

Charlotte said angrily, "Even so, I can't let it slide. Lucas, you have no idea how badly affected I was by the problems he caused. I will never forgive him. Can you beat him up for me?"

Beat him up? Lucas seemed stunned by her request.

However, I felt relieved. I assumed Lucas didn't have the guts to do that.

Lucas knew very well that the person who settled the Arnoult Group wasn't him. So, he would never dare to offend Alexander and the entire Arnoult Group.noveldrama

If he actually beat Alexander up, he would face serious consequences when the truth came to light. It wasn't worth risking it for Charlotte.

Just as I was thinking of a way out for Lucas, Alexander tried to stand up but was met with a kick from Lucas.

I was flabbergasted. Lucas didn't stop. He continued punching and kicking Alexander. I gasped in shock.

Was Lucas a fool? Was he really willing to risk it all for Charlotte?

I was about to step in and stop the fight, but Matthew pulled me back. "William, stop interfering in their problems! This has nothing to do with us, so don't get involved!"

Watching Lucas throw punches, I felt helpless. Fortunately, Lucas wasn't as strong as he tried to appear. He quickly became worn out and had to catch his breath.

"Learned your lesson? If you dare cause problems with my girlfriend again, I'll kill you!"

After saying that, Lucas wrapped his arms around Charlotte and walked out. Matthew dragged me along too.

I couldn't help but look back at Alexander. I saw his friends slowly help him up. There were blood stains at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

I sighed. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have helped Charlotte. It wasn't worth it. But if Alexander wanted to take revenge on her after this, I didn't plan to intervene again.

We soon reached the exit. Benjamin and Liam refused to join us when they heard we were taking a cab to the suburbs.

Both of them didn't go out much, so they seemed reluctant, but I was dragged into the car.
