Sunny was bewildered by Cain's sudden change in behavior. Tears spilled from her eyes as she asked, "Cain, why are you acting like this?"
When they were alone, Sunny could endure it whenever Cain disrespected her. After all, she was the one who pursued him. She never could have imagined that Cain would change like this. They were in front of her former classmates!
Suddenly, Cain lifted his hand and slapped Sunny hard across her face. The spot where his palm had collided against began to swell instantly.
A deafening silence blanketed the private room as everyone looked at Cain with shocked expressions. Although they all thought that Sunny acted quite pathetically when she was Cain, they never imagined that it would be to this degree.
Tears streamed endlessly from Sunny's eyes. She wanted to make a quick escape, but Cain's threat kept her frozen in place. "Don't think about coming back if you take even one step out of that door."
Shivers wracked Sunny's body as her tears continued to fall. She didn't dare go against Cain and stood as still as a statue.
Cain was greatly pleased by Sunny's obedience. It reassured him that he still possessed the power to command people, that they still feared and respected his family.
However, Feena wasn't able to hold herself back any longer. She stepped forward to defend Sunny, asking, "How could you treat others like this? Do you have even an ounce of respect for her?"
Cain rolled his eyes and spat out, "Who the hell do you think you are? Why does it matter to you if I respect her or not?"
He narrowed his eyes and took a good look at Feena before continuing, "Oh? Well, aren't you a beauty! What's your name? I can dump her to take care of you instead. You're much prettier than this bitch."
"Get lost," Feena responded coldly.
Cain was not deterred. He had a cheeky smile stretched across his lips as he said, "You're a feisty one. That's hot! Gorgeous women like you are exactly my type."
Once again, Yohann did as Leo ordered. He made his way around the room and greeted everyone that was there. After he was done, he lifted a wine glass and announced, "It's so nice to meet all of you. Please don't mind me at all!"
Keith's girlfriend couldn't hold back her laughter upon seeing how silly Yohann was behaving. She turned her head toward Keith, only to notice that he was shivering violently. His eyes were also widened to the size of saucers, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
She asked, "Keith, what's wrong? You look like you've just seen a ghost."
Keith ignored his girlfriend's concern as he rushed out of the private room. He couldn't believe his misfortune.
The infamous Yohann Freston had actually made an appearance. Not only that, but he was also acting respectfully and pleasantly just because he was ordered to?
Keith became convinced that the group of men in the private room were notorious figures who must not be messed with.
