Chapter 58 Leave Your Money!
The sudden slap left everyone dumbfounded!
Elena, the Miss of the Windsor Group, was actually cleanly slapped across the face in the middle of the street?
Unheard of!
Holding her swollen left cheek, Elena stared at Ryder in disbelief, "You... how dare you hit me?"
Ryder innocently replied, "Don't accuse the innocent! Newton's third law states that the action of a force is accompanied by an equal and opposite reaction. I gave your face a slap, and at the same time, your face gave my hand a slap. The force is the same, so it's actually balanced. Where does 'I hit you' come into play?"
Elena's eye twitched uncontrollably as she gritted her teeth, "Do you take me for a fool?"
Ryder nodded repeatedly with a smile, "Congratulations, you answered correctly. I do take you for a fool!"
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Elena was enraged and wanted to rush at Ryder to scratch and bite him!
But how could Ryder tolerate her tantrums? Without any hesitation, he kicked Elena's abdomen.
"Ouch!" Elena took two steps back and sat on the ground, clutching her stomach in pain, unable to stand up.
The expensive dress she had just put on in the morning was also stained. The Windsor Group's people quickly went to assist Elena.
"What are you fools standing there for? I've been hit, so why aren't you going up to beat this bastard?!!"
Elena yelled hysterically. The Windsor Group members finally reacted and rolled up their sleeves, ready to go and beat Ryder.
The security guards from Maple Real Estate were quick to react. Seven or eight of them pulled out batons and stood in front of Ryder.
The captain of the security team placed his hands on his waist and shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble at Maple Real Estate? I'll strip his skin off!"
The people from the Windsor Group were scared and took two steps back. There were only six representatives in their delegation, including Henry and Elena, putting them at a numerical disadvantage. They were usually weak and fragile office workers, how could they match up against these rough-looking security guards? Naturally, they were intimidated.
Henry, wanting to save face in front of Elena, and eager to show off, took a step forward with a defiant look on his face and scolded, "Bring your leader out, I want to talk to him!"
"I am their leader!" Ryder raised his hand.
Henry was taken aback and angrily sneered, "What kind of leader are you?"
"I am the head of the security department at Maple Real Estate. Doesn't that make me a leader?"
"Fine! Since you're the leader, I'll give you a choice. Kneel down and apologize to my wife in front of everyone, and accept ten slaps from my wife as punishment!" Henry shouted aggressively.
Upon hearing this, Elena's face lit up with excitement. "Honey, you're amazing! We have to teach this arrogant scoundrel a lesson!"
Feeling triumphant, Henry became even more arrogant. "Follow orders when you hear them! Haven't your superiors taught you this principle?"
Ryder calmly replied, "I've only heard of 'an eye for an eye.' If we want to talk about reasoning, it should be you who owes us an apology!"
Henry wore a confused expression. "What's wrong with you? When did we ever offend you?"
Upon hearing this, Ryder walked over to Sarah's side. He gently placed his arm around her and his tone became slightly darker. "It was this bitch who insulted my wife first. Isn't that provoking me?"
He paused for a moment and added, "Let me introduce myself. I am the useless son-in-law of the Johnson family that she mentioned, Ryder!"
The people from the Windsor Group suddenly realized why this guy had treated them like mad dogs from the moment they met. It turns out he's Sarah's husband!
At this moment, Elena looked at Sarah and Ryder, her eyes filled with fury. She had planned to mock and taunt Sarah today, but now she was the one getting beaten up by Sarah's husband! How could she not be angry?
Compared to Elena, Sarah blushed with shyness as Ryder held her in his arms. Normally, if Ryder made such a move, she would have slapped him in the face.
But just now, Ryder stood up for her and gave Elena a slap and a kick in return.
Sarah's pent-up resentment has eased a lot over the past few years. Her mood has improved significantly. So, this time, she decided to let Ryder off the hook, but this won't set a precedent! Sarah thought to herself.
As for the Johnson family, they were on the verge of collapsing. First, they had already made a bad impression on the Windsor family when they competed against them for a bid. And now, with Ryder angering the Windsor family and revealing himself as a son-in-law of the Johnson family, isn't he dragging us down? They're innocent!
Therefore, Andy, who had developed a psychological shadow towards rich second generations, was the first to step up. With a fawning face, he said to Henry, "I have to explain, despite being Sarah's husband, Ryder has no connection to our Johnson family at all!"
"That's right! Ryder has no place in our Johnson family, no matter what he does externally. It has nothing to do with us!" Abigail chimed in, echoing the sentiments.
Even Grandpa Johnson spoke up, "I already told Sarah to divorce Ryder, so there will be no ties between her and the Johnson family anymore. The Windsor family can deal with him however they want, without involving us!"
After hearing the words of the Johnson family, a mischievous smile appeared on Henry's face. "Ryder, did you hear that? The Johnson family doesn't even want to acknowledge you as a son-in-law. It's quite laughable that you're still using that title to boast about yourself!"
Ryder nodded, "Yeah, as son-in-laws go, I'm far inferior to you! After all, I don't kneel down and beg the Johnson family for food. Someone not only kneels but also knows how to please them!"
"You..." Henry's eyes widened. He hated it when others called him a son-in-law and compared him to Ryder!
With Ryder's words, it felt like he was poking at his sore spot! If Ryder didn't have more backup or if he wasn't bad at fighting, Henry would have gone up and punched him long ago!
Suppressing his anger, Henry pointed at Ryder with a cold threat, "I have important matters to attend to today, so I won't waste my time with you! Once I win the bid later, I'll make sure to show you how capable I am!"
With that, Henry led the Windsor Group towards the office building of Maple Real Estate.
However, at that moment, five security guards suddenly appeared on the ground floor of Maple Real Estate, blocking their path.
"Let me in." Henry turned his head and glared at Ryder angrily, "What are you trying to do?"
Ryder smiled innocently, "To pass through this path, you need to pay the toll!"
