Chapter 73 Forcing Her Hand
Seeing Luann's intimidating demeanor and mocking laughter, Dylan had no idea what awaited him.
"It's often said that big breasts mean small brains, and it seems fitting for Miss Luann."
In an instant, a cold light flashed through Luann's eyes, radiating a strong killing intent. She grabbed a bottle from the desk and forcefully shoved it into Dylan's laughing mouth! Before Dylan could react, the bottle's mouth had already reached his throat. He couldn't control his retching and instantly produced a sound. The next second, Luann pulled forcefully.
The bottle's mouth collided with his teeth, creating a sharp friction sound.
Crack—
Shattered glass shards rushed around Dylan's mouth, leaving dozens of cuts in an instant.
Blood rushed out eagerly. Dylan's eyes turned red from the pain, and tears flowed uncontrollably. A man over six feet tall was effortlessly subdued by Luann.
Alisha gasped in astonishment, covering her mouth in fear, as if she could feel the intense pain.
"If you can force me to take action,"
"It's also your skill."
Luann's tone was arrogant, her eyes hiding an unyielding icy determination. Dylan whimpered, his feet rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch. His tongue pressed against his throat, fearing that he might accidentally swallow the bloodied shards...swallow it whole.
At this moment, in the 18th-floor office of the Page Group, a loud noise rang out!
A foreign man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a large pompadour hairstyle, dressed in a suit, fell from his shaking leather chair and sat on the ground. In disbelief, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the incoming phone number on the call log multiple times. The next second, he bounced up from the ground. Like a gust of wind, the handsome man rushed out.
Clattering—
He ran to the elevator door, frantically pressing the button, but the elevator kept going down without any intention of coming up.
The secretary in the office looked at the emotionally disturbed vice president with astonishment and asked, confused, "What's wrong? Is there something urgent? Do you need my help?"
"Damn it!" The man slammed a fist hard against the wall, turned around, and roared, "Isn't this supposed to be the private elevator for me and the president? When did it become accessible to everyone?"
The secretary was taken aback by the outburst and responded blankly, "Didn't you and the president say that the company rules didn't need to be so strict? So we..."
"Damn it!" The man grumbled and headed towards the entrance of the emergency staircase, rushing down four steps at a time.
The secretary, worried, hurriedly followed.
He hurried downstairs, his every move attracting astonished gazes, and burst into the office.
The scene in the office was chaotic.
Carlton knew that the situation couldn't be resolved anymore.
"Luann! Let go of his hand!"
No one dared to approach, let alone touch her easily, fearing that they would hurt Dylan even more.
Just then, the door was forcefully kicked open.
Luann glanced coldly, and her sharp gaze fell on the breathless intruder. When the person saw him, their blue eyes gradually brightened, like sparkling sapphires.
"Luann! It's really you!"
He rushed over and hugged Luann without hesitation, completely ignoring the injured Dylan beside them.
"Luann! You're finally back!"
The others looked at each other, unsure of the situation. Only Dylan stood dumbfounded, his pupils contracting as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. The man excitedly hugged Luann, like a child begging for candy.
Such behavior left the employees watching the whole interaction stunned. When had they ever seen the vice president lose control like this? Who is this woman?
Feeling the aura emanating from Luann, the man gradually calmed down and glanced at Dylan. Having known Luann for so many years, he knew that Luann wouldn't act rashly. This guy must have provoked Luann.
"What's the situation?"
Carlton had seen a photo of the vice president before, and the person in front of him matched that image perfectly. Could it be that Luann has some connection with him? Upon hearing the man's question in Spanish, Carlton quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically, and started to explain.
"Well, you see..."
Unexpectedly, the man's face turned dark.
"Am I talking to you?"
Carlton was extremely embarrassed.
The man turned around with a smile on his face, undergoing a complete transformation in temperament.
"Luann, what's going on? Did he bully you?"
Dylan vigorously shook his head.
The other employees of the Gilbert Group couldn't understand Spanish at all, and they couldn't help but feel anxious, wanting to know what they were saying.
The secretary glanced at them and asked fluently in English, "Are the two of you together?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We came to discuss cooperation! Can you help us translate what they're saying?"
"Sure, it's my responsibility."
If it wasn't for Luann being here, the secretary wouldn't have helped out.
Luann glanced sideways at Dylan, her tone sharp.
"Josh, can't your company find anyone? You're bringing in this kind of person?"
Josh felt extremely embarrassed but answered sharply.
"Resign! Resign immediately!"
"As long as it's someone you don't like, I'll make them resign immediately!"
Dylan spat out the chip in his mouth, filled with anger.
Each word he spoke felt like a painful needle in his mouth.
"Why?"
"Why does a woman get to decide whether I stay or leave?"
"Just because she's your little lover?"
Josh's expression changed, and the pressure dropped to freezing point. He lifted his foot and mercilessly kicked Dylan to the ground.
"Do you even know what you're saying?"
To him, Luann was like the unattainable sky.
"Huh, if it weren't for her, why would you protect her like this? It was she who made disrespectful remarks first, it was she..."
Josh interrupted him.
"Our company's fate is in her hands, what do you think?"
Dylan was dumbfounded. What...does it mean? The fate of the company is in the hands of this woman?
"That's right, just like you thought," Josh added.
Dylan shook his head in disbelief.
"It's impossible... it absolutely can't be..."
When he first joined the Page Group, he knew. Their company was not an independent entity but had been acquired by a mysterious and powerful company.
However, the other party did not interfere much, allowing them to develop as they pleased. From the president to a janitor, no one had been replaced.
Could it be...Luann is the person who acquired their company. How is that possible! A girl in her early twenties, how could she...
Luann turned her head, smiling with a hint of sarcasm.
"It seems like you don't own the rights to those two roads on Central Street anymore."
Josh met Luann's gaze, his heart skipping a beat.
"We do! Of course, we do! Luann, I neglected this matter. I allowed such an idiot to bully you. Don't worry, I won't let him off easily!"
