Chapter 21: Chapter 21
However, before Hania could react, just as the suit fell off David's right palm and was thrown at her, she was stunned when she saw David pick up the bottle of red wine from the table with his left palm, then slammed it on Wilfred's head.
The wine bottle broke in an instant, and the bright red wine flowed down from Wilfred's head along with his blood.
Wilfred then screamed in pain.
"How dare you touch my woman!"
Hania's heart trembled as she watched this scene.
But it was not over yet!
David then kicked Wilfred to the ground and stepped on his palm with one foot. "Which hand did you use to touch her? Or did you touch her with both of your hands?" His voice was so cold that it was truly terrifying.
He would cripple anyone who dared touch his woman.
Wilfred screamed in pain and shouted, "You... Don't mess around... My brother-in-law is... the mayor of Ustana City!" Wilfred blurted out of fear. However, he could feel that the strength of David stepping on him became stronger.
"Go ahead and call your brother-in-law. You can call him now... Let's see if he can save you!" David sneered. He didn't care about Wilfred's threat.
"You... you..."
Wilfred was sweating from the pain, and his face turned pale. At this time, he accidentally saw David's finger, which was wearing a ring that was blood-red in color.
At this moment, Wilfred was so terrified that his eyes almost popped out.
The ring was...
There was no news about David Miller's appearance in any magazine or news media. However, there was once when Wilfred waited at the door of a superior private room as he was not qualified to enter. When the waiter opened the door to enter the room, all he could see through the door crack was the ring in blood-red color on the man's finger. Although the face of the man could not be seen, it was the ring that had always left a deep impression on him.
Wilfred recalled that Hania had brazenly said that she was David Miller's woman, and he naturally did not believe it at that time. But now, judging from the appearance of these menacing men, and the fact that the man in front of him was not afraid of his brother-in- law, as well as the blood-red ring...
Wilfred suddenly thought of an extremely terrible conjecture. "Are... are... you... Mr. David Miller?"
A cold look gleamed in David's eyes. He stared at Wilfred like a devil.
"... I... I didn't know Hania is your woman. Please spare me... Alright? It's none of my business... Her mother was the one who planned the arranged marriage, and in return, I will place a million dollar worth of orders from their family. Mr. Miller... Please forgive me!" Wilfred begged for mercy fearfully.
An arranged marriage? Mother? A million dollar...
At this point, David looked at the person under his feet as if he was looking at a dead person.
By now, Max had gathered all the relevant information. Upon entering the private room, his eyes did not show any fluctuation even when he saw the scene. He only respectfully reported to David, "Mr. Miller, this person is Wilfred Brown. He is in the real estate business..."
Then, with Max's eloquence, he summarized the background of Wilfred in a few words, followed by the whole scenario of what he had heard from those women.
The whole process made Wilfred terrified and he was trembling in fear.
It was over!
In the end, Max looked at Hania, who was left on the ground, with David's clothes on her. A few thoughts crossed his mind. Hence, he deliberately added, "... Miss Bishop initially wanted to leave, but Wilfred stopped her. I was thinking... maybe she didn't want to be here in the first place."
Max was a smart person; he purposely said that to intercede for Hania.
David snorted and thought, "But this stupid woman dared to dress like this to go on a blind date with another man. And she was even touched by him. How could I let her off so easily?!"
"I'll leave this person to you. Deal with him..." With that, David turned around and did not look at Wilfred, whose face was as pale as death embers.
"Yes, Mr. Miller." Of course, Max knew very well what it meant.
Wilfred regretted it, he should not have provoked Mr. Miller!
Max could guess that Miss Bishop must be Mr. Miller' woman.
Just then, David walked up to Hania and sneered condescendingly, "Why are you still sitting there? Get up!"
Hania bit her lip and knew that she should not talk too much at this time.
Her palm pressed against the cold floor to get herself up. However, as soon as she moved, she felt that her whole body had gone numb. Just a slight movement had caused her so much pain that her tears almost came out. Soon, she fell to the ground and could not get back up again.
As David saw how Hania reacted, he could not help but frown and snap grumpily, "What's wrong?"
Hania bit her lips lightly and said uneasily, "..... My body is numb. I can't move..."
"Fool! Look what trouble you got yourself in!" scolded David as he felt a strong urge to strangle the woman in front of him.
But when he bent down and touched the skin on her neck with his palm, it was soft and light, and that made him change his mind. His palm slipped to her waist, and he easily picked her up, as though she was a rabbit.
Hania exclaimed in surprise, but before she could speak, she heard the man's vicious warning. "If you don't want to die, shut up now. Don't move!"
Hania only felt that her body turned cold in fear. She could tell that this pervert was in extreme rage now. If she dared to provoke him again, the consequences would only be more serious.
When David left the private room with Hania in his arms, she instinctively buried her face in the man's arms so as to cover her face because she was too ashamed.
But surprisingly, she didn't see anyone in the corridor.
The club that was lively when they first came had become empty!
However, Hania felt even more scared because she was like prey in the arms of Mr. Miller, waiting to be slaughtered.
Would she be slaughtered, beaten, humiliated, or punished later? These were all the things she could not predict!
After David carried Hania out of the club, he threw her into the car, as if he was throwing a rabbit. Then they drove back to the villa, the place she did not wish to return.
In the villa.
David held Hania in his arms and kicked the door open. The loud sound shook Hania's heart.
She was scared!
She seemed so small and fragile in front of this man. Even her dear life could be taken by this man at any time!
Then, she was carried to the bathroom and was thrown into the bathtub.
As usual, the bathtub was filled with water. Hania almost choked herself as she was thrown into the bathtub.
Cold!
Freezing cold!
"A blind date! How dare you go on a blind date! Hania, you have some nerves to dress like that! How dare you wear such clothes for others to see! Hania, I will let you know what's the consequences for being disobedient!" And now, it was time for him to "take good care" of this bold woman.
Hearing the man's bellow, Hania looked at David with fear in her eyes. What was he planning to do?
"Now that Wilfred has been dealt with, it's your family's turn, while you will be the last! Since your family wants to hurt my woman, then they shall bear the consequences. Just wait for your family to go bankrupt. All assets will turn to zero, and your family will have nothing left!"2
When David listened to Max's report in the private room, he realized how foolish Hania's mother was. And now, he could not tell whether he was venting his anger for himself or for this stupid woman.
Panic struck Hania's eyes as she shook her head and pleaded, "No, please... let go of my family. Don't involve them. Please, I can do anything you want me to do."
"Hania, do you think you are in a position to beg and negotiate with me? Take care of yourself first!" David couldn't believe that this idiot still wanted to speak for her family.
Hania held back her tears and her lips trembled. "... If you are very angry and wish to punish someone now, you can come to me. You can punish me however you want, even if it's taking my life... it's up to you." She tried to keep her voice calm. "On the contrary, if you touch my family, I will kill myself in front of you."
Furious, David laughed out loud. She wanted to kill herself in front of him?
In an instant, David turned red with rage. He then instinctively grabbed Hania by the neck. How dare this woman talk to him like this?
"Do you think you can just die as you wish? Hania, I tell you... From the moment you signed the agreement, you are mine. And that includes your life! If I want you to die, you have to die! If I want you to live, you have to live! Do you think your life still belongs to you? I'm your master and I'm in charge of everything!"
Listening to the man's words, Hania only felt a deep sense of helplessness. Was this her so-called fate?
How ridiculous!
There was sadness in Hania's eyes. Even if her neck was strangled by the man, she felt she had nothing to fear. Thinking of that, the corner of her mouth drew a bitter curve.
She had always lived under the mercy of others. Never once did she live for herself.
Tears trickled down from the corner of her eyes as she thought of that.
David was initially irritated but the way she laughed and cried at the same time had inadvertently pricked his heart. And instinctively he let go of Hania's throat.
How could she be this sad?
David clasped his hands behind his back tightly and glared at her. "Very well... you can be responsible for all of it! Since you don't want me to touch your family, then you'd better clean yourself up... I want you to bathe until your body is clean!"
After saying that, David left her alone and went straight out of the bathroom.
When Hania was left alone in the bathroom, her tears fell from the corners of her eyes and into the cold water.
Not only did her body feel cold, but her heart too.
Even if she knew that the blind date was a business deal and her mother did not love her, it had never crossed her mind that the blind date was just a cover. She did not believe her mother would send her away as a plaything to a perverted man of over 60 years old!
Was this her mother?
In this world, even her relatives were so ruthless toward her, as if she was born unworthy of being loved.
Along with the temperature of her body that was soaked in the cold water, the warmth in Hania's heart turned colder bit by bit, and eventually, it froze.
Finally... She owed the Bishop family nothing.
Since her mother wanted her to pay for the debts, she had just stopped David from punishing the Bishop family and even protected all of their property. Perhaps this would be her last debt and love for her mother.
She owed them nothing now...
That was the reason why she pleaded with Mr. Miller for her family.
Now, she was really tired of this family...
After "handling" Wilfred, Max rushed to the villa. Before he entered, the housekeeper Lilly Griffiths had been waiting at the door. When she saw him get off the car, she immediately rushed to him and said, "Mr. Simpson, you finally came back. Please go to see Mr. Miller. He locked himself in the training room and is throwing a tantrum! We don't dare to go near him!"
After hearing this, Max frowned. In the past, no one could stop Mr. Miller from losing his temper, and the consequences were often unimaginable.
"Where's Miss Bishop?" he asked.
"In the room. Mr. Miller carried Miss Bishop into the room and came out shortly after. We didn't know what was going on inside. Without Mr. Miller' order, we didn't dare to enter. After he came out of the room, he just went straight to the training room," Lilly replied.
After Max figured everything out, he immediately went to the training room.
He could hear the sound of fist fighting coming from the training room.
Sure enough, when Max entered the training room, he saw a group of bodyguards surrounding Mr. Miller, collectively working as his training partner! Although he was outnumbered, Max could clearly see the painful and sorrowful expressions from the bodyguards' faces.
The bodyguards swore that they did not take Mr. Miller lightly. They were sort of used to this "routine" of being his training partner. Whenever Mr. Miller was in a rage, they would usually end up very miserable.
All of them looked to Max and undoubtedly signaled him for help!
They didn't know what happened to Mr. Miller . He was more irritable than usual and his strength was much stronger! Why was he so angry this time?
Seeing that, Max could do nothing but expressed sympathy for them.
David did not stop throughout the night. When all the bodyguards were completely exhausted and could no longer move, he did not stop but continued to punch the sandbags with his bare hands. After more than a hundred sandbags were damaged, it was daybreak!
However, David's eyes were still dark and his mood didn't seem to get any better.
Why would he feel so annoyed?
If he had arrived just a tad later, this foolish woman would be taken advantage of by other men. This thought alone made him even angrier!
He wanted to vent the rage that was within him so he left Hania last night and came to the training room. Even he himself could not imagine how severely he would punish this foolish woman.
Her body was as fragile as a piece of paper, so fragile that he might accidentally kill her if he exerted a little more strength. But these training partners were different...
"Stupid woman..."
When David had managed to calm himself down from his anger, he remembered that the woman was still in the room.
After coming out from the training room, he went straight to the bedroom and instinctively looked to the bed, but he did not see her there.
A sudden thought came to him. This stupid woman, could it be...
D*mn it!
Was she still in the bathtub? It had been a whole night already.
When David opened the bathroom door, he saw her lying in the bathtub filled with cold water.
Even before he got close, he could clearly see that her face was paled and her mouth turned purple. It was obvious that she was freezing because she was soaked in icy cold water!
Her eyes were closed. She was still and motionless in the water, as if she was dead.
