Chapter 415 How Dare You Slap Me
Seeing Donovan heading their way, Ralph shot a quick look at his brothers nearby and steeled himself to block Donovan. "Do you know this woman?"
Donovan came to a slow stop, his face blank as he glanced at Ralph, then shifted his gaze to Riley.
Riley lowered her eyes, her lips pressed tight, clearly not looking for his help.
Donovan felt even more mocked by this.
Even now, Riley wanted to avoid him.
Fine, he thought, he'd give her what she wanted.
With that, Donovan looked away and said coolly, "No, I don't."
Ralph let out a quiet sigh of relief.
The guy on the ground got up, trembling, and angrily pointed at Donovan. "Why the hell did you kick me?"
Donovan turned back, giving him a cold stare.
The guy felt a chill and shut his mouth.
A moment later, Donovan's icy voice cut through the air, "You were in my way."
The guy opened his mouth to argue but, intimidated by Donovan, kept quiet and slunk back into the crowd.
Donovan turned back to Ralph, almost commanding, "Continue."
Both Ralph and Riley's faces changed at his words.
Riley was shocked. She clenched her fists, trying to keep herself from looking at him.
She couldn't believe he meant that!
Ralph hesitated, glancing at Donovan.
If Donovan hadn't shown up, he would've kept going. But with Donovan watching, how could he?
Yet Donovan's stare made it clear he wasn't leaving until Ralph continued.
Ralph even suspected Donovan was lying about not knowing her!
But under Donovan's pressure, he had no choice but to turn back to Riley.
Riley had a plan, but Donovan's gaze made her nervous.
As Ralph approached, Riley's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively stepped back, raising her hand to slap him.
The slap echoed loudly.
The group of playboys nearby were stunned.
Ralph's eyes widened in shock.
He'd been so scared of Donovan that he hadn't reacted in time.
Riley actually slapped him!
Coming to his senses, Ralph glanced at Donovan, who still looked indifferent, seemingly not planning to intervene. Ralph's face darkened, and he angrily said, "You dare slap me?"
He took a big step towards Riley, raising his hand to hit her back.
Riley instinctively closed her eyes, but nothing happened.
After a moment, Riley opened her eyes to see Donovan's hand gripping Ralph's wrist.
Ralph looked furious but didn't dare make a sound.
Riley's slap had snapped Donovan out of it, making him realize what he'd done.
Seeing Ralph try to hit Riley again, Donovan's anger and guilt surged, making him even more intimidating.
Ralph wanted to curse, but the moment he met Donovan's gaze, he shut his mouth. His wrist felt like it was about to break, and he could only sweat silently, not daring to make a sound.
