The Mighty Fighter Is Back

Chapter 16: Give Me a Peace of Mind

"Richard!"

Flying into a fury, Guy thumped the table and stood up, saying coldly, "You've gone too far this time. You'd better kneel down and apologize to me at once!"

"Or you two get out at once!"

He was so furious that he face reddened.

Although he was nothing in front of the ten big families, he was still a celebrity in Evento. Now Richard treated him in this way, he felt completely humiliated!

"Apologize? You don't deserve it." Richard answered coldly.

"What did you say?"

Catherine quickly stood up to apologize, "Sorry, it's all our fault. My husband was being impulsive. I sincerely apologize to you!"

"I'm sorry, terribly sorry. Please let him off. I’m begging you."

Staring at Catherine coldly, Nolan said, "Apologize? If apology is useful, what’s the use of the police?"

"Today he must kneel down and apologize, or we'll put him in jail at once!"

"Nolan, we really realize we are wrong. I sincerely apologize to you. I can drink to make amends. Considering that we're classmates, please let it go!" Catherine implored humbly.

She really didn't want Richard, who had just returned, to be sent to jail.

"Ha ha, Catherine, you'd better beg Guy. He's on the phone!" the nosy onlookers sneered.

Catherine looked back and found Guy was really on the phone.

Catherine rushed to Guy, her voice trembling. "Guy, considering we're classmates, please don't call the police, OK?"

Deliberately holding the phone high, he sneered, "I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it."

"Catherine, you were a condescending goddess before. Now you're laden with huge debts. You're nothing now!"

"Drink immediately, until Guy and Nolan are satisfied! What a fool! A brainless beauty. No wonder you are dumped by the Miller family!"

The classmates jeered and taunted.

Looking at such a nervous Catherine, Guy swelled with pride and satisfaction, laughing, "The classmates are right. Catherine, drink three cups as a punishment, and I'll forgive your husband's impertinence. And I can lend you a sum of money."

"Fine, I'll drink. I'll drink until Mr. Martin is satisfied." Eyes sparkling with joy, Catherine immediately filled the glass and gulped down three cups at once.

The alcohol made her cough and blush.

Richard gazed at her, his eyes getting red.

What had she been through in the past five years? Why did she become so humble?

At this moment, he was consumed with guilt, his heart wrenched.

If only he had been with her five years ago!

He was directly related with her adversity. He was overwhelmed with guilt, a tear falling from his red eyes.

Finishing the wine, Catherine turned the glass upside down, saying with an imploring look, "Mr. Martin, look, I've drunk it up."

"You think it’s enough to make amends simply by drinking? You must suffer what your husband has inflicted on me." Guy sneered.

He picked up a bottle of wine and poured it on her face. She could do nothing but accept it.

"Ha ha ha!"

At the sight of Catherine's flustered look, Nolan and other classmates all burst into laughter, their eyes filled with pride.

"Bastard, you want to die!" Richard flew into a rage.

Unable to control his emotion, he was going to rush to tear Guy into pieces.

"Enough!" she held him back with tears in her eyes.

"Let go of me! I'll kill him. Such a f**k dares to be so arrogant in front of me!" Richard was furious.

Slap!

Catherine gave him a hard slap before he finished his words.

He was stunned, looking at her in consternation, "Catherine, you, you hit me?"

"Richard, grow up! Can't you behave like a grown man?"

Catherine was infuriated, her face red, scolding, "You acted at the Miller family and got my family into trouble. You are still acting now, life is not a play! Can't you be sober and mature like a normal man?"

"Such a nobody? Getting 10 million is just a matter of your words. Can you believe what you've said?"

"Who do you think you are? The richest man in the world?"

"I had a hard time taking care of Maria all by myself. It was so hard. I thought your return would give me some peace of mind. But it turns out you are such a feckless liar!"

"Richard, can't you behave like an adult to save me the worry?" novelbin

Speaking of her grievances, she was consumed with grief, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Please don't cry, Catherine. I really didn't lie to you."

He was flustered, rushing to wipe the tears off her face and saying gently, "Don't worry, I will prove it to you."

He took out his phone and called Pierre White. "Pass the order. If they don't come over within 10 minutes, they’ll wait for going bankrupt!"

He sent out the room number while he was speaking.

"Got it." Pierre replied.

"Hah, hah, still bragging? Do you really think of yourself as somebody, Richard? Who are you calling? Not the people who messed up the wedding again?" Guy sneered.

"Wait and see, and soon you won't laugh." Richard replied coldly.

On hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter, looking at him in a mocking way.

Catherine felt so humiliated and wretched that she got herself drunk.

.....

While he was speaking, a luxurious car arrived at the door of the InterContinental Hotel.

The head of the Walker family, Kurt Thomas who was the richest man in Heufville, Robert Baker, the head of the Madison family, Aaron Brown who was the leader of the QL chamber of commerce, the head of the Jones family who was one of the country's richest and other tycoons of various industries in Evento... A group of big cheeses who could only be seen on news and television all got out of the car in succession.

At the sight of the group, River Sebastian, the hotel owner waiting at the door, was astonished.

"Oh, God! So many celebrities gather here. Who on earth is that 'Mr. Martin' at my hotel?"

Kurt Thomas rushed over, agitated, and couldn't wait to ask, "River, which room is Mr. Martin in? Take me to him quickly!"

Although Kurt was the richest man in Heufville, he was not qualified to make friends with Richard, who had used the pseudonym Edward Martin then.
