Chapter 436 Give Him A Hard Time

Before Richard could react, Zachary stepped forward, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and delivered a punch to his stomach.

It took several blows before Richard regained his composure and began to fight back.

With his height and regular gym workouts, thanks to catering to the needs of affluent clients, Richard wasn't someone to be underestimated.

Zachary also took a few punches in return.

By the end, both men bore visible injuries.

It wasn't until a staff member passing by heard the commotion and threatened to call the police that the two finally stopped.

Twenty minutes later, Lenora saw Richard's bruised and swollen face at the restaurant.

She was visibly shocked and quickly had him sit down. "What happened? Did he hit you?"

"Yes, but I hit him back too. No wonder you divorced him. Turns out he's violent." Richard pressed lightly on the bruise near his eye, hissing in pain. "Does this count as a work-related injury?"

"It does. Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"I think this job is a bit dangerous..." Richard took the opportunity to wink suggestively.

"I can compensate you for emotional distress damages."

Richard immediately nodded. "Sure. Even if the job's risky, I'll give it my all."

After leaving the hospital, Lenora transferred Richard another sum of money.

As she made the transfer, she sneered inwardly.

Well done, Zachary!

Initially, she had taken pity on his pitiful state and contemplated revealing the truth to him in a couple of days. However, contrary to his verbal claims of fear, he had unexpectedly turned around and given Richard a thorough beating. Well, just wait and see! I must give him a hard time.

The morning had been somewhat gloomy, and as the afternoon rolled in, the day grew increasingly dim. The sky was blanketed with dark clouds.

Fortunately, the lights in the studio were bright enough not to affect the shoot.

Minutes later, it began to get noisy outside.

It was pouring.
