Chapter 471 Ethan's Slander

Christopher stormed downstairs, cursing under his breath as he left the dining room. His face was dark, and he had just lit a cigarette when someone bumped into his shoulder.

He snapped, "Watch where you're going!"

Looking up, he saw Tom, a guy half a head taller than him, glaring at him with a predatory look, his hat pulled low.

Christopher was taken aback by this fool. He frowned and took a step back. "Fine, I'm outta here."

He knew he couldn't take Tom.

That day at the club, Tom had stormed in and started a brawl. Despite their numbers, they couldn't beat him.

It was a pity he didn't join the army.

Even a shoulder bump from him would make others hurt.

"Watch your step, and don't step on my foot, or I'll beat you every time I see you," Tom warned in a low voice.

Christopher let out an angry scoff. Tom had always acted arrogantly at school, relying on being Ethan's cousin.

Given the current strength of the Whites family, they couldn't compare to the Hawthorne family, yet he was still so brazen.

Christopher continued, "Tom, do you think Ethan, who was kicked out by the Douglas family, can protect you forever?"

"Who are you talking about?" Tom couldn't stand anyone badmouthing Ethan.

Even though Ethan hadn't given him the promised Cullinan yet.

Seeing Tom about to fight, Christopher's bodyguards quickly rushed over to shield him.

"Ethan is a stray cur now. The once high and mighty chairman of the Douglas Group is now a joke. Do you know what people in the business circles are saying about him? They say he's so down and out that he has to marry into the Cunningham family."

Christopher, relying on bodyguards presence, laughed arrogantly.

Tom clenched his fists in anger and punched a bodyguard in the face, then charged at Christopher.

However, Christopher's bodyguards were quite dutiful and held Tom tightly.

"Beat him! Beat him to death!" Christopher, relying on his numbers, threw his cigarette butt and ordered his men to beat Tom.
