Chapter 383 He’s Not As Handsome As You

He couldn’t bear to watch Christopher stuttering and hesitating, so he bluntly stated, “Your brother has offended our Miss Hurry over here, apologize to our Miss, and take this useless brother of yours away.”

Jonathan inquired, “Offended your Miss? Who is she?”

The man glanced at Florence, who was listening in on speakerphone, and handed her the phone as Jonathan repeated his question. Florence casually replied, “It’s me, Miss Florence Shelton,” and then abruptly ended the call, tossing the phone onto Christopher.

When Jonathan entered, Christopher was as pitiful as a beaten dog, trying to make himself as small as possible.

Jonathan arrived not alone but with Yarrison and several bodyguards, on Yarrison’s advice, to handle the situation after the Shelton Family’s name was mentioned.

They didn’t appear to be there for a rescue mission, but rather to stir up trouble.

Christopher, seeing Jonathan, scrambled up, seeking refuge.
