Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2309

No sooner had the contemptuous smile emerged on Henrick's face than his high-handed persona was unleashed, and soon a cold air radiated from him.

The atmosphere in the room became more and more oppressive.

"Is that so? Well, you touched my woman, so I guess it's safe to assume that you don't want that hand of yours anymore." Henrick's every word was filled with the smell of death. However, that man's self-awareness was long buried under his arrogance.

Mr. Poplar smiled and looked at Alice, who was already drunk. "Miss Klein, you're spoiling the fun. We are all here to do business and rake in huge profits!"

Henrick glared daggers at him. "A fat load of good that meager money does me."

As he spoke, he punched the arrogant man with all his strength in his right hand.

A clatter pierced the air. The man was beaten up unconsciously. Caught off guard, he was thrown onto the table, where the dishes and utensils on the table fell to the ground.

"Ah..." Kylie was shocked and ran to Alice.

"Brat, I gave you the easy way out and you took the hard way!" Mr. Poplar sprang to his feet and looked at Henrick dangerously, his eyes narrowed.

Henrick pursed his lips into a thin smile and pointed at the man on the table, who was in so much pain that his features were twisted. His tone of voice brooked no warmth as he said, "Mr. Poplar, I'm afraid that you think too highly of yourself. Your so-called cooperation is but a ruse to prey on women and make money off this man. I've seen through a calculative man like you. I'll have you know that your financial hanky-panky ends tonight."

When Ms. Poplar heard this, his face was full of anger, and he was even more ashamed of being seen through.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to guess Henrick's identity and wondering how he could know this well about his underhand dealings.

"Who are you?" he asked.

Henrick sneered. "You don't deserve to know. You only need to etch one thing into your mind: you'll lose all your fortune if you set my girlfriend up."

Alice, who was listening by the side, widened his eyes in disbelief. "What... what's going on?"

Had she also fallen into the trap in the name of cooperation?

"Young man, don't be too full of yourself." Mr. Poplar let out a lopsided smile, and his eyes were full of threats.

Henrick didn't reply but watched as the man, who had been punched by him, stumbled to his feet and started cursing words that ticked off all the boxes of his most disliked vulgarities.

Henrick walked over and kicked the man over. Although his hand was injured, it was easy for him to teach this kind of man a lesson.

The man groaned in pain.

The other man wanted to help, but Josue suddenly came in.

He looked at the man and smiled. "Don't move. My fist is pretty steely."

The man shrank his neck and did not dare to move.

It wasn't very convenient for Henrick to use his right hand, but he still raised the chair beside him and smashed it hard on the man's arm.

"Ah..." A miserable scream penetrated the floor.

Everyone was so scared by this scream that even their organs were trembling.

"Brat, if you dare to touch me again, I'll call the police," Mr. Poplar threatened.

Henrick had kicked the man, but his anger was still mounting. He said with a smile, "Thanks, but no thanks. My assistant has already called the police. The bodyguards are outside. None of you can leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, four bodyguards strolled in.

Mr. Poplar was stricken.

Alice was speechless. "...Henrick, what do you mean?"

She staggered over to Henrick's side. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Henrick held her hand and said with a gentle smile, "Allie, it's okay. I'll take you home first. Josue will handle the matter here."

"Okay." Alice pouted and followed him unsteadily.

It occurred to her that Kylie was left alone. After taking a few steps, she looked back at Kylie worriedly and said, "Kylie, let's go home."

Josue smiled and said, "Miss Klein, I will give Miss Ratliff a ride home after dealing with the things here. You don't have to worry."

Kylie also smiled and nodded. "Mr. Klein, you go back first. I'm fine."

Alice settled her gaze at Josue and said gratefully, "Josue, I owe you one. You must send Kylie back home safely."

"I'm on it!" Josue nodded. "Relax, Miss Klein!"

After leaving the restaurant, the night breeze blew gently. Alice felt that she was even tipsier. Her head was heavy and her steps were light. Every step she took gave her an impression as if she were floating.

Henrick looked at her with distress. With her family's financial condition, she didn't need to bust her a*s working. However, this girl was very independent. She had never relied on her family to do what she wanted.

"Allie, you okay?" He held her in his arms and went to the roadside to hail a taxi.

The night wind rustled the trees on both sides of the sidewalk, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer.

Alice suddenly stopped and squinted at the parasol tree in front of him.

"Henrick, hurry up and go over there. Make that tree stop. It's moving around and making it difficult for me to walk. It's blocking my way."

Henrick was speechless. He wasn't a god, so he couldn't communicate with the tree.

"Henrick, why are you standing there? It's moving so hard that it almost hit me." Alice pouted her red lips, her ruddy face filled with dissatisfaction. The tree before her eyes was always swaying.

Henrick smiled silently as he observed, "Allie, you are completely wasted."

She harrumphed and mumbled, "Hell no. Henrick, if you continue to bully me in the future, I won't talk to you anymore." After that, she suddenly smiled sweetly.

"Henrick, I'll let you in on a little secret. But don't tell Henrick."

Henrick was speechless. She wanted to tell him his secret and not to tell him. He thought, "Allie, you are asking for the impossible."

Henrick didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Henrick, let me tell you something. I like your kiss very much. I like the roses you gave me. I like the feeling of you hugging me..." Alice giggled.

Under the warm yellow street lamp, the girl looked up with a beautiful and silly smile!

Henrick gazed at her. Other than pain, he felt sorry for her.

"Henrick, don't tell that damned Henrick about it. He's a bad guy. He bullied me seven years ago and refused to own up to it. It hurt so much when I gave birth to the baby, I wanted to just drop dead already."

"At that time, I missed him very much, but he went abroad. He would never know that I'd given birth to children for him, a pair of twins, no less. My son was his spitting image. Every time I saw my son, I would think of him. What he was doing, and whether he would spare a thought for me..."

Alice burst into tears, her rambling came tumbling.

She was happy and sad at the same time, which made Henrick anxious. He felt distressed and blamed himself.

It was no easy feat to stop a taxi, but Alice refused to get in and stumbled along the way.

Henrick held her hand tightly, afraid that she would suddenly fall. In the end, he gave in to her and could only find a good hotel nearby, book a presidential suite, and request two female waiters to help her take a bath. At one o'clock in the morning, Alice fell asleep blanketed with the night's ordeal.
