Brendan deserved to be hit for trashing her!
After getting slapped, Brendan glanced at Anastasia in bewilderment.
He'd become accustomed to harassing Anastasia over time. But he never imagined she would dare to hit him! "Damn it!" "Bitch, you have the audacity to..."
Smack!
Before Brendan could finish, he received another loud hit on the face!
Unlike Anastasia's, the second slap was more painful, sending Brendan flying quickly. He even spat out some blood-stained teeth.
In a matter of seconds, half of Brendan's face had ballooned like a pig's head, and he was so in pain that he couldn't talk.
When he looked at Ethan, he had a horrified and regretful expression.
Despite knowing how terrifying Ethan was in the Pegasus, he continued to provoke him.
Ethan approached Brendan and gave him a cold glare. "Don't let me hear you insulting her again, or else I'll give you more than just a slap."
Brendan inhaled hard and glanced at Ethan angrily.
Ethan knocked out a few of his teeth with a single slap. It was more than a mild slap.
Of course, Brendan would not grasp that he would die if Ethan had hit him cruelly! To him, Ethan is just an ordinary guy who has a good martial combat skill.
They ignored Brendan, who was lying on the ground, and rushed into the Reed Corporation office.
Thaddeus was hosting a notable guest on the top floor of the Reed Corporation.
The guest was in his thirties, and his hair was nicely combed and tidy. He had a nice smile on his face and appeared sophisticated and relaxed.
Thaddeus was all grins, clutching a contract he had just signed, and the creases on his face were stretched out. "Mr. Mason, you are young and promising. It is a wonderful honor for us to collaborate with the Bright Corporation!"
Thaddeus complimented the young man endlessly.
The young man smirked, "Nah, we feel comfortable working with an established family like yours. It will be a pleasure to work with you!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, it will be enjoyable. From now on, Mr. Mason, I will rely on you!" Thaddeus Reed chuckled.
"You may just call me Ferry. "You're an elder, so don't be too formal with me," the young man, Ferry Mason, explained.
Thaddeus appreciated his respectful and humble behavior.
Ferry Mason was from Bright Corporation. Although he was not from Emerald Coast County, his family's status there should not be taken lightly.
"I shall call you by your name then," Thaddeus Reed chuckled and pointed to a stunning girl in flawless makeup. "Luisa, hurry and pour some tea for Ferry."
Luisa rose sheepishly and took the cup of tea in front of Ferry. "Ferry, I'll replace a cup of tea for you."
Ferry swiftly declined. "I shouldn't bother this beautiful lady. By the way, how is she?"
As soon as he walked into the conference room, he noticed the lovely woman seated next to Thaddeus and knew what he was up to. However, he had been pretending ignorance and had waited until now to pose this query.
Thaddeus smiled. "My granddaughter is incompetent. Her name is Luisa Thorn. She is extremely young, only twenty years old. She attended after hearing that I would discuss cooperation with you."
"Grandpa! "I am not young!" Luisa Thorn complained as she unconsciously looked at Ferry with fondness in her eyes.
Ferry thought it was humorous, but he did not show it.
The Reeds were a small, third-rate family. Ferry would not want to marry her and build a partnership with them.
On the other hand, Luisa looked rather attractive in cosmetics, and Thaddeus was using her to get closer to him. It would be a waste to reject her. Anyway, there's no harm in playing with her.
"Miss Thorn is so innocent, pure, adorable, and attractive. It's no surprise she's your granddaughter! I guess an excellent girl like her has many suitors, right?" Ferry replied with a smile.
Luisa bowed her head in shyness when she heard the compliment. "No, I've always been single!"
Ferry laughed like he didn't comprehend what she said. "The men here do not appear to have good taste. How could they pass up a beautiful girl like you? Are they blind? They're completely useless."
Thaddeus laughed. "Luisa is young and does not know much about such things. Ferry, you'll stay here for a few days, so why don't you let Luisa show you around the city?"
Ferry laughed inwardly at Thaddeus' excitement but did not decline, smiling warmly at Luisa. "I'll have to trouble you then, Luisa."
Luisa couldn't help but smile when she noticed Ferry's tone change. He began addressing her by her first name instead.
At this point, an assistant knocked on the door and entered to inform Thaddeus that "Mr. Chairman, Anastasia Reed is here and says she wants to talk to you about something."
Thaddeus furrowed his brow and asked impatiently, "Can't you see that I'm entertaining an important guest here?" Tell her to go away. I do not want to see her and have nothing to say. Tell her not to talk to me in the future."
Ferry was immediately intrigued when he heard Anastasia's name.
Anastasia was once regarded as the most beautiful woman in the country. Even Ferry, who was from a different county, was aware of her, particularly following her controversy. It became the talk of the town in various cities. This intrigued him of her beauty.
Ferry was intrigued by the previous finest beauty of Emerald Coast County and wanted to meet her.
Thus, Ferry intervened to stop Thaddeus. "That's okay. I won't interfere with your meeting with someone else because we've already agreed to work together. You don't have to worry about my presence. "Go ahead with the meeting."
Thaddeus heard his remarks and instantly told the assistant to let Anastasia in.
Ferry's eyes flashed with wonder as Anastasia entered the conference room.
Anastasia was no longer the most delicate and lovely girl in her early twenties but remained as stunning as ever. Ferry couldn't take his gaze off her. She is far gorgeous!
She truly deserves to be the county's top beauty! Ferry Mason was amazed.
Ethan came in after her and grimaced when he noticed Ferry staring at Anastasia without blinking. He swiftly stood in front of Anastasia, blocking her path with icy stare at him.
