Neo was shorter than Yannis. With pain shooting through his body, Neo couldn’t even straighten his back and had to crane his neck to look up at him.

“Your mouth stinks,” Yannis said coldly, a cruel smirk on his lips as he threw a glass of water at Neo.

Neo got soaked as water splashed all over his face. “How dare you throw water at me?” he yelled, frantically wiping his face with his hands. Bracing himself against the table, he lunged at Yannis, ready to teach him a lesson.

Yannis sneered, tightening his grip on Neo’s wrist, and kicked him. A scream of pain broke the air, so loud it sent chills down everyone’s spine. Even Zinnia outside could hear it clearly.

At that moment, Neo realized with horror that he had picked a fight with someone way beyond his level.

Pain shot through Neo’s body as he clutched his groin, writhing on the floor in pain. In that second, all his confidence disappeared. ‘I’m going to regret this forever,‘ he thought, scared stiff.

He never thought that after sending out invites to all those heirs and heiresses, not one would come. Instead, the place was full of spoiled kids from second–rate families. It was frustrating.

When he heard that Maisie and Zinnia had arrived, a thrill ran through him. But those two girls totally disrespected him, which made him angrier. ‘They need to learn a lesson,‘ he thought. Little did he know, those two weren’t ones to mess with.

“Don’t even think about messing with people you shouldn’t,” Yannis said coldly, giving a blank look at Neo on the floor. “Otherwise, today’s trouble will be the least of what you’ll face.”

He walked out and gave orders to Toby, “Charge him with group assault and keep him locked up for the longest time allowed by law. No bail, no visitors.”

“What just happened?” Zinnia asked, surprised by the loud scream. As a doctor with many years of experience, she could tell that the person must be going through something really inhumane–pain way beyond normal.

“No idea,” Maisie said, but she knew how her cousin usually handled things.
