Chapter 1056
Eldridge couldn't wrap his head around it. If they were on Alexander's turf, sure, he could understand why Holden would defer to Alexander. But why was Holden still kissing up to Alexander here in Coral Harbor?
Wasn't Coral Harbor their territory?
Holden kicked Eldridge directly to the ground.
Eldridge looked up, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at everyone around.
Holden shouted, "You embarrassing piece of shit! You're making us all look bad!"
"Apologize to Mr. Tudor right now!"
Holden's words left Eldridge with no dignity. He slapped Eldridge hard on the head.
Eldridge lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, visibly defiant.
Elizabeth stared at Eldridge, her clenched hands slowly relaxing.
Eldridge moved his throat. The bar was brightly lit, and everyone was waiting for Eldridge's apology, but the words seemed stuck in his throat.
A spoiled rich kid used to constant praise, now being forced to apologize in front of a crowd? This was beyond humiliating.
How could Eldridge command respect outside in the future?
As the silence stretched on, someone's patience finally snapped.
Lila frowned, puzzled, "Just apologize already. What are you waiting for? A formal invitation?"
Eldridge glared at Lila.
Lila tilted her chin at him defiantly, as if saying, "What are you going to do about it?"
Eldridge gritted his teeth, his gaze towards Lila growing colder.
At this moment, Kieran slowly moved in front of Lila, blocking Eldridge's view of her.
Eldridge had no choice but to meet Kieran's cold eyes. Kieran's expressionless face seemed to tell Eldridge that he better be polite to Lila.
Eldridge gritted his teeth, unable to help but laugh.
His taste was really something. One was Alexander's ex-wife from the Lisbun conglomerate, the other was Kieran's person.
Everyone was waiting for Eldridge's apology.
Holden slapped Eldridge on the head again.
This time, Eldridge finally spoke, "I'm sorry!"
As the words fell, Alexander lazily spoke, "What?"
Eldridge glared at Alexander, what did Alexander mean? Was Alexander deaf and couldn't hear his apology?
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, looking at Alexander with interest.
It had been a long time, hadn't it? Since she had been so warmly protected by Alexander.
Alexander was someone who could give a great sense of security. When he was around, there was indeed nothing to fear.
No wonder Esme loved Alexander, and loved him so passionately.
The bar was brightly lit. Elizabeth quietly looked at Alexander's profile.
It was still that familiar face, the face that made her unable to help but fall.
Elizabeth lowered her eyes.
Eldridge's voice came again, "Ms. Percy, I'm sorry."
Elizabeth looked up, meeting Eldridge's gaze.
The stubbornness and defiance in Eldridge's eyes were clear.
"I don't see any sincerity in your eyes," Elizabeth said calmly.
Eldridge lost his patience, "I've apologized like this, what more do you want?"
"Why are you raising your voice? Do you think that makes your point more valid?" Kieran cut in, unable to stay silent any longer.
Eldridge was furious.
