Linda tossed the now empty glass aside and turned to Celena. When she laid eyes on Celena's smooth, rosy skin, however, another twinge of jealousy surged through her, and she slapped her once more. "You b*tch! How delusional must you be to think Mr. Bristow, of all people, would approach you first? Who do you think you are? Besides, why would Mr. Bristow want to lie and frame you instead? You're of no importance to him, and he would not even bother to do such a thing! I'm not an idiot, I know you're just angry because you failed to seduce him, and you're now trying to get back at him!"Linda deliberately raised her voice when she said this so that her message would get across loud and clear to everyone watching. Indeed, her plan worked because the guests all began to cast Celena looks of disgust. Some of the rich socialites who had been overshadowed by Celena in the past all stepped forward in indignation just to exact their revenge. "Celena, you are absolutely shameless! Do you hon

Linda was feeling exceptionally confident in herself, mostly because she knew that Yankel would back her up. If anything, she was acting so matter-of-factly that one would think she and Yankel were an item, even though he had never once admitted that this was the case. Liam, whose rage was concealed underneath the mask he was wearing, wanted nothing more than to punish Linda for what she had done to Celena, but he held back because he did not want to blow his cover.He snickered, then glanced sharply at Linda and said, with contempt laced in his tone, "Yankel Bristow, so what? This is my territory. How dare you behave so rudely and even went so far as to assault my esteemed guest for tonight? I demand you apologize to this young lady right now! If not, you will face my wrath!"Everyone gasped at this. Who was this masked man, and how dare he speak of Yankel so dismissively?Bristow Group had proved itself to have exceptional potential of making it big in Drunham City, and on top o

Who was this mysterious masked man? The audacity of him to strike and attack Linda! Not only was she Yankel's personal assistant, but there had been rumors circulating of Linda and Yankel's secret affair since they arrived in Drunham City. Was he aware of the consequences of messing with her?Or perhaps did he not fear crossing the Bristows at all?Linda could not hold in her anger any longer. She picked herself off the ground and lunged toward Liam, her arm raised above her head as she poised herself to give Liam the slap of a lifetime!However, before she could even realize what was going on, Liam whipped around and gave her a hard kick in her abdomen, sending her flying through the air before finally landing in a crumpled heap on a nearby table. The table toppled over, and Linda collapsed on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood."Ahhh!" she let out a shriek of agony as she curled herself into a ball, clutching her abdomen. Her entire body was shaking like a leaf, and she

"Look at the way he's defending Celena! Could Mr. Bristow's assistant be on to something?""Of course she is! He's absolutely insane! Not only did he manage to sneak into the Drunham City Connoisseurs, but he even attacked Mr. Bristow, of all things! Does he have any idea what sort of trouble he's gotten himself into?""Well, we'll see! He's going to get the shock of his lifetime!"Yankel was delighted to hear all of this. The fact that his opponent refused to take off his mask and reveal his identity was, to him, an act of weakness. Therefore, he was adamant that this intruder was simply a gatecrasher who thought he could get away with this. He turned to Liam and snarled, "Why are you silent? It must be because I've hit the nail right on the head, haven't I? Haha! You're certainly a gutsy man. Do you have an idea what sort of party you've snuck yourself into? This is the Drunham City Connoisseurs, so what gives you the right to show up here and attack my assistant?"Yankel then ca

Yankel's expression darkened when he saw the cuts and scratches on the rosy skin of Linda's wrist. Although he had only been using her to fulfill his physical desires and did not truly love her, he still could not tolerate anyone laying their hands on her. If anything, he viewed her as his property, and he could not allow anyone to get away with violating him. He stomped over to Iska's side and snarled, "Mr. Walbeer, what are you waiting for? Capture that man right now! How can you allow a good-for-nothing like him to cross me? You have to punish him! That'll teach him not to mess with Yankel Bristow!"Iska fawned over him. "Of course, Mr. Bristow! I'll capture him and get to the bottom of this!"Brandishing his baton, he plodded toward Liam and said, scowling, "I'm warning you, you'd better cooperate with us. There's no point resisting. You're no match for all of us anyway. Do you see this? This is an electric baton, and it will electrocute you once it comes in contact with your s
