Chapter 373
Chapter 373
Compared to the Xaviers, the Leslie Family was nothing. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie could not help but gasp at
his words.
According to Mr. Xavier, his wife, whom Mr. and Mrs. Leslie had never heard of, seemed to have
something to do with their daughter.
This idea scared them.
He knew about it. But they didn't.
Rose was scared by Derek's men. She panicked even more when she heard Derek's words. She
immediately denied it and shook her head violently.
"No, I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't do anything."
She looked in the direction of her parents, "Dad, mom, help me. It's none of my business." She said as
she ran over.
But the next second, she screamed, because just as she stepped out, her leg was kicked back by the
men behind her.
The pampered young lady could not bear the pain. Her cries were heartbreaking and the guests were
shocked. They did not expect Derek to treat her so badly in front of so many people.
They were all scared.
"My dear..."
Mrs. Leslie gave a shrill cry and was about to rush over frantically. Then she shrieked again as the men
around her kicked her without mercy.
What had happened consecutively shocked these business owners in J City. Even if they were not
targeted, they still felt scared.
Then the discussion suddenly ended and it became so quiet. No one dared to speak or take the
initiative to leave.
Mr. Leslie saw his daughter and wife being hurt. He became furious. He glared at Derek, who had a
calm expression. Mr. Leslie trembled all over and gnashed his teeth.
"Mr. Xavier, you are going too far." He said almost every word through gritted teeth.
Damian looked at him coldly, "Mr. Leslie, you'd better ask your wife to remain motionless. As for your
daughter, who dared to harm the young madam of the Xaviers, she must be prepared to bear all the
consequences."
Mr. Leslie choked and blushed. Suddenly, he was unable to say anything.
Liam, who was on the side, knew that today's matter was probably not so easy to settle. He was not
able to stop Derek, so he could only feel helpless and anxious.
Rose stared blankly at her mother who had fallen to the ground. She was in a daze. She had never
thought that things would turn out this way.
Although her parents told her that at the banquet today, the president of the Xavier Group was the last
person that she would want to provoke among all these guests.
She also knew that Nora was brought by him, but she didn't take it seriously.
Rose had attended numerous banquets since she was a child, but today's banquet was different. Derek
broke in with a large group of people and made a scene without restraint, completely disregarding the
face of her uncle and so many guests.
Most importantly, seeing the attitude of her uncle, parents, and the others, she suddenly realized that
she had caused a huge disaster.
Especially when her mother was kicked and her father was too afraid to do anything, she felt that her
outlook on life had been shattered and her face was pale.
Derek didn't want to waste too much time with this group of people. He glanced at Damian, who
immediately understood what he meant.
Damian ignored Rose and walked to the two waiters. Looking at one of them, he narrowed his eyes
and said expressionlessly, "Which hand did you use to lock the door?"
The waiter had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that he could not speak. Seeing
that he did not answer, Damian raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you don't want to tell me, then
forget it." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man behind him snapped the waiter's hands forcefully.
"Ah..."
Short shrieks could be heard along with the waiter's shrill scream. They were all made by timid women
among the guests.
Rose looked at this scene and felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice-cold cellar. She was so
scared that a chill stole over her body. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, as if she
had lost her voice.
Damian looked at the other waiter and asked the same question, "It's your turn. Which hand did you
use to release the snake?"
The waiter who released the snake was stunned by the scene and his face turned deathly pale. Before
he could regain his senses, Damian nodded.
"No answer? Okay."
The next second, there was another scream, and the waiter's both hands suffered the same fate.
Seeing the cruel scene, everyone in the venue remained silent.
The people here were all calculating businessmen. They had never seen such a scene before, and
their hearts were pounding hard with their screams.
They have heard a lot of nicknames of Derek, but today was the first time they saw something like that.
At this moment, they were all clearly aware of one thing.
They should never provoke Derek and the Xavier Group.
After dealing with the two stooges, Damian stared at Rose at last.
The guests looked at each other with stiff faces. Everyone thought to themselves, what would happen
to Miss Leslie?
Some people thought that Rose would suffer more.
However, others believed that no matter how bad Rose was, she was the daughter of the Leslie Family.
She was a rich young lady. Even if Derek wanted to teach her a lesson, he wouldn't go too far.
Father and Mrs. Leslie could not believe that their daughter would suffer the same fate as the two
waiters. Mrs. Leslie was so scared that she almost fainted. She cried uncontrollably.
Mr. Leslie was also frightened. He had plucked up the courage to question him, but having seen the
ruthless methods of Derek's men, he lost his nerve. However, he could not turn a blind eye to his
daughter.
"Mr. Xavier, my daughter is only 18 years old. She's still a child. I beg you, please forgive her. If you're
still angry, you can punish me. I'm her father."
Mr. Leslie almost knelt on the ground and lost all his dignity.
Damian looked at Mr. Leslie, indifferent, and his lips even curled up, "There is a debt to be owed. Mr.
Leslie, you can rest assured that our boss is always a man with principles. Irrelevant people will not be
involved."
Hearing these words, Mr. Leslie almost fainted.
Rose was scared out of her wits.
Derek's eyes fell on her.
She snapped back to her senses. Her legs were weak and she was unable to stand up. Her mind was
filled with what had happened to the two waiters, and she shook her head, "No, don't come over."
"I was wrong. I dare not do it again. Let me go. Please! I don't want to have my hands broken. I don't
want..."
She regretted it. She had never regretted it this much before. She regretted offending someone she
shouldn't have.
Derek looked at her and said softly, "Don't worry, we won't break your hands."
Rose was stunned, so were Mr. Leslie, Mrs. Leslie, and Liam were all stunned. They thought they had
hope and that Derek would not punish Rose after he had punished the two waiters.
But was it possible?
Damian looked at the expressions on their faces and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He raised
his hand and one of his men stepped forward, took out two ropes, tied Rose's hands behind her back
and then tied her legs together.
