Chapter 209
Scarlet hurried to Phineas‘ side, and he wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
Gina, seeing that Phineas had brought a lot of men, was promptly silent.
She slid tentative peeks at Chris, wondering if he could resolve the issue for them…
“Who demanded my girl’s apology?” Phineas suddenly barked.
“I did,” Chris replied, puffing his chest fearlessly.
As Phineas wheeled on him right then, Scarlet whispered to him under her breath, “Chris Steiner. Owner of Omens Industries.”
Phineas narrowed his eyes. “So you’re Chris Steiner?”
His sharp glare left Chris‘ heart skipping a beat, and he started sweating down his back in apprehension.
Still, he braced himself and strode forward, forcing a smile as he said, “Mr. Tomkins, I presume? I ask nothing much other than that your girlfriend apologize to Peter here. After that, we can let bygones be bygones.”
Smack!
As soon as Chris finished, Phineas slapped him across the face resoundingly!
“Oof…” Chris was left stunned and dazed by the slap!
Helen gasped, bewildered that Phineas would get physical at the drop of a hat!
Beside her, Gina flinched in utter shock.
“Y–You hit me…?” Chris was left clutching his cheek as he glared at Phineas in disbelief.
“So what if I did? Who do you think you are, demanding that my girl apologize to you?!” Phineas snapped and spat on Chris‘ face!
Chris was left utterly sickened. Clenching his fists, he growled, “Your girlfriend had her bouncers beat up my friend. Why shouldn’t she apologize?”
“Your friend was the one who messed around on our turf in the first place,” Scarlet retorted immediately.
Phineas growled, “You hear that? Your people were messing around on my turf, so get down on your knees and apologize to my girl.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
At his words, his goons kicked Chris behind his knees, and he dropped the floor with a thud.
Gritting his teeth to withstand the agony, Chris slowly looked up and snapped, “I’m the owner of Omens Industries, and the Salazars have my back-”
“Shut up!” Phineas savagely slapped him across the face. “The Salazars? Tell your boss that no one gets to misbehave as long as they’re on my turf! They may own Sunny City, but they’re nothing to me!”
Chris pursed his lips, his cheeks burning in pain right then.

However, he was even more shocked that Phineas did not fear the Salazars! “Apologize right now!” Phineas barked.
Unable to muster any courage at that point, Chris gritted his teeth and apologized. “S–Sorry…” “Hmph!”
Phineas snorted in disdain and sent him flying with a kick!
Scarlet smiled smugly as she stood nearby, just as Phineas turned toward Helen and the others. Gina was so scared she promptly hid behind Helen, while Peter did not even dare to look up. They were so sure Chris would be able to straighten this out, only for him to be utterly destroyed!
“Who was messing around on my turf?!” Phineas bellowed.
“Him!” Scarlet pointed at Peter, who was lowering his head so much his face could touch the ground.
As two bouncers seized Peter right then, his legs turned to jelly even as he cried repeatedly,” Helen! Help me, please!”
