Chapter 81 A Fight in Front of the Office Building
After going upstairs, Melinda searched for the name ‘Mervin Laurent’ on her phone but found nothing. How can there be no information about someone related to Stanley? It’s obvious that someone tampered with the records, but it’s strange that Mr. Swanson doesn’t know who Mervin is. How can he not know someone that even I know about? Did he… liet
As the knock came, she snapped out of her thoughts and saw Gael walking toward her. “Madam, these are Mrs. Fox’s medical records. Mr. Fox asked me to pass it to you.”
“Okay.” She reached out to take it. “By the way, Mr. Swanson, are you sure you don’t know Mervin?”
“I don’t.” he replied calmly. “I haven’t even heard of this person.”
Just then, a maid brought in tea, snacks, and a fruit plate. After Gael left, Melinda looked through the medical records and prepared to take notes on the important points.
On the other hand, a limited-edition Lamborghini was parked outside the Fox Group office building. After the driver opened the car door, Stanley stepped out and saw Mervin leaning against a nearby pillar. His arms were crossed, and he gave off a somewhat shady vibe.
With a calm expression, Stanley walked toward Mervin.
“Do you think that acting like this means that you’re not angry?” Mervin mocked him. “You’re angry. Why hold it in? Isn’t that tiring?”
At his words, Stanley’s thick brows furrowed, and his naturally noble and arrogant aura emanated from him as he stood in front of Mervin.
“I’m telling you. I’m very interested in her.” Mervin smirked and intentionally provoked Stanley. “I don’t think you know this. I stayed at her place last night.” He was intentionally trying to incite Stanley.
Suddenly, Stanley’s icy expression grew increasingly tense. On the contrary, Mervin’s smirk became more arrogant-he wanted to instigate him even further.
Not far away, Monica happened to come out of the lobby and was surprised by what she saw. She quickly stepped forward and realized that the atmosphere was not right.
“Fox,” Mervin said with an ambitious smile. “You like her too, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you go to Sunnyvale to find her during work hours? She’s a lovely girl, but unfortunately, I like her too.”
Finally, Stanley spoke up, but his tone was frosty. “I’m warning you; stay away from her!” As soon as he said that, he swiftly swept his leg out, startling everyone with his speed.
Mervin tripped and fell on his back, but the next second, he sprang up with a kip-up and swung a fierce punch toward Stanley.
With his bare hands, Stanley caught the punch, and the two of them started fighting in front of the office -building.
“Stop that!” Monica rushed over anxiously. “Stop it! Both of you!” This is very bad for our image.
At the same time, the bodyguards rushed over, but without Stanley’s command, they dare not move.
“Pull them apart quickly! What are y’all waiting for?” she commanded. “Hurry up! I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.”novelxo.com fast update
Seriousness was etched on Mervin’s face, his eyes flashing with a cold intensity. He unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks with full force. Likewise, Stanley reciprocated with equal ferocity, delivering an elbow strike to Mervin’s back that sent him crashing to the ground.
“Mervin!” Monica was terrified. “Stanley! Stop it!”
Yet, Mervin seemed to become even more daring and quickly stood up, swinging a powerful punch.
“No!” Out of desperation, she reached out and hugged Stanley, preventing him from retaliating.
However, Mervin couldn’t stop his attack and slammed his fist into her back.
“Ah!” With a loud cry of pain, she fell heavily onto Stanley’s shoulder. He took two steps back in succession and had to wrap his arms around her waist to prevent her from falling.
Still in shock, Mervin was quickly controlled by the bodyguards. “Monica, are you okay?”
Painfully gasping for air, Monica steadied herself and, enduring the pain, turned her gaze to Mervin. I’m fine, Mervin, but can you guys-”
“Kick him out of here!” Stanley ordered with a disgusted expression.
“I don’t need you to kick me out! I’ll leave on my own. Mervin shook off the bodyguard’s hand and walked away, but he paused for a moment when he passed by Monica. “I’m sorry, Monica.”
“Mervin!” Monica wanted to call him back. “Mervin!” However, she couldn’t find a reason to keep him. He provoked and angered Stanley.
Meanwhile, Stanley’s face looked very unpleasant as his eyes were covered with a layer of frost. Just as his gaze fell on Monica, he thought, The punch just now wasn’t light; she must have been injured. “I have medicine in my office. Let’s go and apply some for you,” he said, then strode to the lobby.
Since she was injured on her shoulder, not her foot, she could still walk. After a second of looking in the direction Mervin had left, she turned to follow Stanley’s footsteps. The two of them then entered the same elevator.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but think of what Mervin had said earlier, that Stanley had missed the meeting in the morning because he had gone to Sunnyvale to find Melinda.
