The few of them had had verbal disagreements right from the start and none of them took it seriously before, but once a person made a physical move against the other party, then the nature of the conflict would change!
When Hardy saw that the other party actually dared to talk back to Third Young Miss, he naturally disregarded his status and directly pressed the dignified Third Master Hane on the wall. If word spread out, the Hane family would completely lose face!
As the president of the bodyguard agency in Riverdale, Deaton’s expression also became awkward at the moment!
This turn of events was totally beyond his control. The other party was the third young miss of the Joo family, after all. He could not provoke nor dared to provoke her!
Furthermore, Philip Clarke was also sitting across them!
That was the big shot one had to be aware of!
Philip acted like nothing had happened. He sat there quietly, shaking his propped leg with his arms folded across his chest as if he was waiting for the drama to unfold.
“Miss Joo, please ask your men to let him go. We should have a calm discussion.”
Deaton acted as the peacemaker.
However, Vivi ignored him and turned her gaze to Baloo instead.
Hardy grabbed Klein’s clothes and roared. “My third lady asked you a question! Answer her honestly! I order you to apologize to her or I’ll kill you!”
Kill him?!
This statement was too audacious!
Seeing all of his subordinates standing aside and watching them silently made Klein very upset and angry!
Were the members of the Hane family so useless?
He tried to struggle, but the opponent was too strong and he could not break free at all. Those two hands were like iron tongs, clutching at the lapels of his clothes and rendering him breathless!
This was the private estate of the Hane family, his own territory, but an outsider dared to do this to him right here!
This was blatant contempt toward the Hane family!
A flush appeared on Klein’s face as his chest burned with anger!
Vivi glanced at Deaton and said coldly, “Step in? I wish he’d shoot him right now! Even if he hadn’t drawn his weapon, this man’s outcome won’t be much better either!”
After that, Vivi turned to Philip and asked with a frown, “What are you going to do?”
She did not ask if Philip was alright, but instead, she asked him what he planned to do.
In other words, Vivi was not worried if anything would happen to Philip right from the beginning but was worried about how the other party would counterattack.
Right now, Klein’s face was burning hot!
Why was Vivi defending Philip so much?
Could it be…
“Who the hell are you?!” Klein roared at Philip.
Philip chuckled and said with a shrug, “Me? It’s very simple. My last name is Clarke. How many Clarke families are there in this world?”
