DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 116
Christy looked down on Joshua with disdain.
Chapter 116
Were all the wealthy young men into the domineering CEO style nowadays? Did they think they were so cool when they talked like that in front of women? It was so unoriginal!
Christy was already used to Joshua’s tone of speech, so she naturally built up immunity to this similarly handsome didn’t feel any shock from him.
guy. She
Although the guy was good–looking, when compared to Joshua’s level of handsomeness, he fell short. Not only were his facial features not as delicate and profound as Joshua’s, but his temperament was also far inferior.
Joshua had an air of arrogance and dominance, with a noble aura and the bearing of a king.
On the other hand, this man’s eyes were filled with gloom, lacking the kind of sharp and imposing character. He was just an empty shell, only focused on appearances.
In other words, in Christy’s eyes, this handsome guy was like a knockoff CEO.
Christy didn’t even have feelings for someone as exceptionally handsome as Joshua, so how could she have any reaction to this guy?
When Christy rejected him on the spot, the guy’s face turned dark with anger.
Actually, Joshua hadn’t gone far. He had been following Christy at a distance, watching her from afar.
He saw the scene where the handsome guy was slapped in the face by Christy and secretly felt pleased.
Christy had rejected another man’s pursuit, which was a victory flag for Joshua.
However, Christy’s rejection only enraged the handsome guy even more.
Seeing Christy walking away, the guy couldn’t accept it and rushed over, grabbing her wrist and forcefully turning her around.
“Lady, I have good news for you. I’m interested in you! You’re mine! Today, you must accompany me until I’m satisfied!” The guy laughed menacingly.
Christy was startled, not expecting that this seemingly polite man would be so vulgar, daring to lay hands on her in a solemn place like a museum.
“Sir! This is a public place. Please show some respect! If you don’t let go, I’m calling security!” Christy angrily warned.
“What if I don’t let go? What is security? Even if the police came, I wouldn’t be afraid. Olivia City is my territory, and any woman I’m interested in can’t escape me.” The guy sneered darkly.
“You’re seriously sick!” Christy got angrier the more she listened, struggling hard. However, the guy’s grip was strong, and she couldn’t shake him off.
She had come to the art exhibition to appreciate the artistic atmosphere, but instead, she encountered such a well–dressed degenerate. It was a disgrace to the sacred exhibition!
“Lady, who are you trying to fool with your innocence? You dress like this and come to a high–end place like this to lure a wealthy man, don’t you? Now you’ve hit the jackpot, you should be happy! I’m the most handsome and richest man in Olivia City!” The guy laughed mockingly, pulling Christy into his arms.
Christy’s face turned pale with fear!
She never thought this man would be so shameless!
Just then, a tall figure appeared. Before the guy could understand what was happening, Christy was snatched away from his arms, and a powerful punch flew straight at his face.
“Ah!” The guy screamed in pain, stumbling backward.
His once handsome face instantly swelled up.
Upon glancing over, the handsome guy noticed that his target had already been embraced by a stranger.
This man was at least 6 feet tall, towering half a head above him.
But height wasn’t the main thing. The man was also incredibly handsome, with refined and striking facial features, looking almost like he was mixed–race.
His good looks paled in comparison to Joshua’s poised and elegant appearance.
“Are you okay?” Joshua asked Christy with concern.
It turned out that Joshua had saved Christy.
Still shaken, Christy gazed into Joshua’s caring eyes, feeling a deep sense of gratitude welling up within her.
Despite scolding him harshly just moments ago, Joshua had been there for her, stepping up when she was in danger…
Even though he had deceptively arranged the art exhibit and toyed with her emotions, deep down, Joshua was trying to win her over, right?
“Thank you…” Christy blushed.
“There’s no need to thank me. You’re my woman, and it’s only natural for me to protect you,” Joshua confidently replied.
“You… Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me? You will have to pay for what you did!” The handsome guy angrily threatened Joshua.
Holding Christy, Joshua roared at the handsome guy, “I don’t care who you are! This is my woman. If you touch her, you’re a dead man!”
“How dare you threaten me? You’re really bold! I’m warning you, when I get angry, there will be serious consequences!” The handsome guy’s face darkened in rage.
“Mister Triston, are you alright?” Two security guards, noticing the commotion, hurried over. Without even looking at Joshua and Christy, they focused on Triston, asking how he was.
“Throw him out!” Triston ordered the security guards, gesturing like an emperor.
Upon hearing this, the guards turned to Joshua, scolding him angrily, “Hey, you’ve got some nerve! Do you know who this gentleman is? He’s the son of Mr. Walyer from Woodlan Group! Messing with him will ruin your future!”
Joshua laughed heartily, as if he had just heard the funniest thing in the world.
“You’re still laughing? Do you realize you’re in trouble?” The security guard shouted in annoyance.
“Do you know who I am?” Joshua countered with a cold smile.
The guard hesitated, realizing that he had not paid attention to Joshua’s appearance.
Upon closer inspection, the guard recognized the familiar face from a recent business magazine cover…
Joshua, the CEO of Stellar Group, head of the Melendez family, and a prominent figure in the business world!
The security guard’s expression changed instantly. Turning to Trision, he advised, “Mister Triston, that’s Mr. Melendez. He’s not someone you should mess with. It’s best to let this matter slide.”
Triston, expecting the guard to teach Joshua a lesson, was shocked to see the guard’s reaction upon recognizing Joshua.
He became even more upset, saying, “I don’t care who he is. If he offends me, I won’t let him go!”
The security guard couldn’t help but sweat.
Triston, a playboy, was only concerned with living it up and squandering his father’s money, paying no attention to the business world.
He didn’t even know who Joshua was. It was truly pitiful!
Not wanting to offend Joshua for Triston’s sake, the guard quickly apologized with a smile. “Mr. Melendez, I’m sorry for the trouble. Mr. Triston is young and reckless, speaking without thinking. Please forgive him and don’t take it to heart!”
