Chapter 169
Nadine scowled at Brad like a beast baring its teeth. If looks could kill, he would’ve been dead by now.
Her fury was evident, yet he chose to dismiss her instead. What could she do? She might be a ferocious Valkyrie, but he could handle her easily.
Moreover, she wasn’t even a Valkyrie to begin with–she was merely a woman.
Brad tossed the handkerchief tainted with her spit behind him. He suddenly leaned into her, a menacing glint flickering in his eyes. Even the smirk on his lips resembled a threat.
Nadine shot him a disdainful look and turned to the side, avoiding the close proximity of his tepid breath.
“Punish me?” she retorted. “What makes you think you have the right to do that? Are you still living in ancient times, thinking that you’re a fucking king?
“You think everyone’s fates lie in your hands? Fuck you! I can literally sue you for sexual assault for how you’re treating me now.”
Brat was a fucking bastard, really. Not only was he an idiot, but he also held onto absurd beliefs. They weren’t living in ancient times, so why on earth was he treating her like this? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
And his audacity to punish her when, in fact, he should be punished for cheating on her publicly with Jean, How ridiculous was that!
Brad was certain that Nadine would’ve fled if he hadn’t pinned her down earlier. So, he tightened his grasp on her wrists, ridding her of the chance to escape.
He gritted out, “Sexual assault? Does merely holding your hands even count as sexual assault? Which lawyer told you so? Ask him to come talk to me! I’ll educate him properly!
“Or you could just call the police and see what they have to say. If this isn’t considered sexual assault, you have to compensate me with ten million dollars!”
Nadine was flabbergasted. Didn’t Brad behave like a mute? When did he become this eloquent? He seemingly wasn’t even worried that he’d run out of breath after blabbering so much.
“Fine! I’m not going to discuss this with you now. Let me go! Can we just have a proper discussion and stop digressing?”
The anger that surged in her chest the moment she saw him had long dispelled. At this point, she just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. She didn’t want to see him again–he was really annoying.
Brad had been waiting for Nadine from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, but she didn’t turn up. If his butler hadn’t called him, he would still be foolishly anticipating her arrival at the company. He surely had to settle the score with her regarding this matter.
“Fine! But explain why you stood me up this afternoon first.”
Nadine stared at him in bewilderment. “What do you mean by that? Make yourself clearl
She hadn’t even contacted him these past few days, let alone promised to meet him. How could she possibly stand him up?
She figured this bastard wasn’t just disoriented, but he was also paranoid. As Brad realized that she refused to admit it, the anger that just subsided in him began to stir again.
“You made me wait for you for two hours in the office! he yelled, attempting to shatter her pretense. Now
that he had it all out in the open, he was intrigued to see how she’d defend herself.
