Chapter 329 Paying a Heavy Price!

James knew Laura wouldn't tell him, so he turned and asked Nancy, "Nancy, tell me, who exactly hit Laura?"

Nancy seemed startled by James' expression. After a moment of hesitation, she pointed to a young man standing not far from Laura and said softly, "It was him. Just now he even..."

Before Nancy could finish, James strode over to the young man and asked expressionlessly, "Was it you who hit my girlfriend just now?"

The Golden Elm Bistro, in a private room.

The young man standing in front of James was named Efrain Mae. Previously, at the ArtScape Center, Efrain's sister Vivienne had a minor conflict with James, Laura, and others.

After learning that his sister Vivienne had been bullied by Laura, Lily, and others, Efrain had been looking for a chance to avenge her. Today, he happened to run into Laura and Lily and couldn't resist mocking them.

Efrain had been away from Willowbrook recently, so he didn't know about the events at Conrad's birthday banquet. He still thought James was just a poor delivery boy, so he mocked Laura for not being able to find a husband and having to settle for a delivery boy. Efrain's friends joined in the mockery.

Hearing Efrain's insults towards James, Laura felt very uncomfortable and started to retort, hitting Efrain's sore spot.

Efrain's biggest sore spot was that he was in his thirties and still a failure, good for nothing but squandering money.

After Laura's retort, Efrain was enraged and, unable to control himself, hit Laura.

This led to the current situation.

James had no interest in understanding what had happened earlier. He walked up to Efrain, his face dark, and asked, "Was it you who hit my girlfriend just now?"

Efrain looked at James disdainfully and sneered, "You're that delivery boy, right?"

"I asked you, was it you who hit my girlfriend just now?" James repeated expressionlessly.

"Yes, it was me. What are you going to do about it?" Efrain replied with extreme disdain.

James didn't give Efrain any chance to react. He raised his fist and punched Efrain in the face.

With a loud noise, James' fist landed hard on Efrain's face.

James didn't care about the details of what had happened. In his eyes, if someone bullied his woman, he had to hit back hard.

James put all his strength into that punch.

Efrain didn't expect James to be so domineering and to hit without warning.

He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and then fell to the ground with a crash. The dining table behind him collapsed, and food spilled everywhere.

Laura, Nancy, and Lily widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at James with astonished expressions.

They hadn't expected James to actually hit Efrain!

Nancy covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise. "James is so cool!"

Laura looked at James with wide eyes, feeling very touched, but also worried about James.

Although Efrain was a complete wastrel, it was said that he knew some powerful people in Lumina City. She was worried that if things escalated, even Charles might not be able to save James.

"You..." Efrain wobbled to his feet, pointing at James and about to speak.

But James didn't give Efrain a chance to talk. He stepped forward and punched Efrain in the face again.

Everyone heard a muffled sound.

James' punch landed directly on Efrain's nose, breaking it.

"Efrain!"

The rich kids who were usually close to Efrain rushed to his side and helped him up.

Bright red blood flowed from Efrain's nose, staining his white shirt and making him look very disheveled.

What was funny was that Efrain started crying from James' punches, wiping his tears while cursing James.

Laura walked up to James and said softly, "James, you were too impulsive!"

"If anyone dares to bully you, I'll make them pay dearly!" James turned to Laura and replied domineeringly.

Laura was stunned by James' words, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

Although she thought James' actions were irrational, they gave her a strong sense of security!

No matter how strong a woman is, she needs a sense of security, and Laura was no exception.

So Laura didn't continue to scold James.

Nancy, on the other hand, looked at James with a puzzled expression. She suddenly realized that James, who had never seemed manly, didn't seem so annoying at this moment.

At least, James' performance today seemed very manly to her.

"Do you know who Efrain is? How dare you hit him?"

"Yeah, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

The rich kids around, seeing Efrain beaten up by James, stood up for Efrain.

"Arrogant?" James sneered at their words, then walked up to Efrain and said seriously, "If you kneel and apologize to my girlfriend today, I'll spare your life!"

Since inheriting the old chairman's estate, James had never bullied anyone or used his wealth to oppress others. But today, he decided to use his power to be willful for once.

"You want me to kneel and apologize? Who do you think you are?" Efrain shouted excitedly upon hearing James' words.

Although Efrain was wrong to hit Laura, James had broken his nose without asking questions, which should have evened things out, right?

But James didn't seem to want to stop and even wanted Efrain to apologize to Laura. Wasn't that too much?

"I'm nobody, but if I tell you to apologize, you must apologize today!" James shouted at Efrain, enunciating each word.
