Chapter 56 Shocking
Henry’s face was filled with embarrassment as he never expected that Alex wasn’t bluffing about having the money to pay. He couldn’t work his head around as to how Alex came in possession with so much money.
“Hmph! It’s just a few hundred thousand! What’s the big deal about it? You better watch your back!” Henry scoffed and walked straight towards the door.
Henry would never kneel to Alex as he was the heir of the Hale family. If he did that, he would lose all his standing in society. Not only would he embarrass himself, but he would also bring his family down with him.
“Did I say you could leave?” Alex grabbed Henry by his shoulder, not letting the man leave until he fulfilled his promises.
The last person who went back on his words to Alex was made disappear from the face of the earth.
“What can you do? You better watch your tone!” Harper scolded, believing that Alex got the money from Heather as compensation for the divorce. Yet, it was too late for Harper to tell Henry about it. If she told him after he was humiliated, he would’ve shifted his anger towards her instead.
Henry was enraged by Alex’s action and turned around to stare at the man. “Take your hands off me! Otherwise, I’ll cripple you! I’ll give you to the count to three!”
“And pray tell how are you going to do that?” Alex challenged with a smile.
“You f**ker!” Henry roared and raised his hand to slap Alex.
A loud slap echoed throughout the store and everyone gasped in disbelief as Henry was the one who raised his hand, but he was also the one who got slapped instead.
Even though Alex and Henry had the same height at a meter eight, the latter was much more muscular.
Everyone thought that Alex was going to be at a disadvantage, but the result proved otherwise.
“Y-you… dare hit me?” Henry was stunned at first but was soon engulfed in rage.
The last person who tried to hit Henry was now lying in a hospital bed. Yet, now, he was being hit by a person whom he thought was a nobody.
Alex threw another slap at Henry again and mocked, “What’s so hard about that?”
“You!” Henry roared and charged at Alex.
But in the next moment, Henry was thrown to the floor by Alex with a foot sweep.
“I’m going to kill you!” Henry snapped after suffering the worst humiliation in his life.
The others’ jaws dropped in disbelief.
“Alex, you f**king piece of trash! Do you have a death wish?” Harper was enraged as well. She grabbed a chair and attempted to smash it over Alex’s head.
“Get lost!” Alex growled and backhanded the chair.
His slap was so powerful that the chair was broken into pieces and Harper was sent flying backward.
Harper suffered a painful fall and had to struggle to get up. She couldn’t help but stare at Alex in fear and surprise.
She had always thought of Alex as the useless person in the Jenningses.
“A man should never go back on his bet. Now, get down on your knees and lick my shoes!” Alex ordered Henry coldly.
“In your dream!” Henry roared.
“Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson then.”
Alex picked up the pieces of the phones that he’d smashed and shoved them down Henry’s throat.
Henry tried to struggle, but Alex merely gripped his cheeks and forced his mouth open.
Everyone, including Henry, trembled as their faces filled with fear.
