With the half-broken bottle in her hand, Kate blankly stood in place and looked at Gwen, who was kicking the bodyguard frantically. Suddenly, she felt a little sad. She hated herself for getting carried away just because he treated her that little bit more nicely. Perhaps he just heard the news and helped out as a friend, but she had thought too much of it.
Nathan had one hand wrapped around Howard’s neck, but stretched out the other toward her as he said, “Give it to me.” Kate’s mind was blank at this time, and she looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he wanted.
Nathan repeated, “Give me the beer bottle.” It was only then that she came back to her senses and handed the half-broken bottle in her hand over to him.
Once Nathan took it, he slowly pressed it closer to Howard’s neck and asked in a chilling tone, “Which hand did you use to touch her with?”
Terrified out of his wits, Howard desperately shrunk back as he begged for mercy while dodging away, “L-Look, it’s just a misunderstanding! Would you please let go of me first…”
“I asked you, which hand did you use to touch her with?”
Of course, Howard didn’t dare to tell him without knowing what this crazy man was trying to do. “If you won’t say it, then I’ll take it that you touched her with both hands!”
Saying that, Nathan immediately grabbed his hand and pressed it on the table, and he plunged the half-broken beer bottle he was holding in his hand toward the back of Howard’s hand without a second thought. Accompanied by the man’s screams, a dazzling bright red instantly stained the white tablecloth. Howard couldn’t even speak from the agony, and he could only hold his breath and bear the pain.
“And there’s this hand too, right?” Nathan said, about to grab the other hand. Seeing that, Howard screamed in fright and began struggling frantically. “Ahh! Someone made me do it!”
Kate was also terrified by Nathan’s cruelty and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. “Enough, let him go!”
As Nathan glanced at Kate, his fierce and vicious eyes softened in an instant. Without saying anything, he pushed Howard to the ground. “Spit it out! Who made you do it? If you waste my time, I’ll get rid of your other hand.”
The man hugged his hand in pain and almost teared up. He cried, ‘Summer asked me to do it. She said that Miss Thomas and Miss Maxwell bullied her and asked me to teach her a lesson. I wasn’t going to do anything evil; I just wanted to scare you. Please spare me!”
With a frown, Nathan glanced at Kate and asked, “Who’s Summer?”
Kate hadn’t expected that Summer would try to harm her either. She glanced at Nathan and explained briefly, ‘She’s a female star who took.. a magazine cover with me, but because she wasn’t satisfied with the costume, I broke off the collaboration with her. After that, I took a cover for Olivia, and now, the current bestseller is the cover of Olivia’s issue. Maybe she got jealous when she saw that. I’ll have to call Olivia later and ask her to be careful as well.”
Nathan hummed in reply. When he turned back. to Howard, his gaze immediately turned cold again. “If you try to hurt her again, it wouldn’t just be one hand.” Howard hurriedly responded, pleading, “Yes, yes!”
“Get lost!” Nathan ordered coldly. The man got up in a hurry, and as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Eugene and North as well as a group of security guards and bodyguards surrounding the door. There was no way the restaurant could just ignore the commotion that Nathan caused.
When the waiter saw Nathan entering the room, he knew that there would be a fight, so he hurriedly went downstairs and called the security guards up. As a result, as soon as the guards arrived, they met Eugene, who stopped them from intruding and declared that he would take responsibility if anything went wrong.
If it were anyone else who had said that, they would not have listened. However, Eugene’s words were practically like the word of God in Summer City, and they had weight to them.
