Chapter 158
Elliot looked at the place where the scissors were pointed, terrified. He quickly pulled Faith from behind him, grabbed her hands, and restrained her struggling body. "It's just a few strands of hair. Let her cut it. I'll pay to have it fixed, okay?"
Faith broke free and slapped Elliot across the face, shouting, "How useless are you! Can't you call Leopold? Leopold is Mr. Neville! Even if you don't mention that, you're at least the general manager of a branch of ZL International Group! Are you really that scared of her? With our combined status, we can't handle Agnes? Get someone to control Agnes now!"
Elliot's face turned red from the slap and the scolding. He pointed at Agnes and yelled at Faith, "Agnes was right. You're just like Chloe! Get lost, I'm done with you!"
Everyone else was speechless.
Agnes, not interested in their argument, walked over to Faith. While Faith was distracted, Agnes grabbed a handful of hair and swiftly cut it off.
A lot of hair fell to the ground along with Faith's screams.
"Ah! Elliot, you useless piece of trash, call someone now!"
Being called useless again, Elliot was really angry. He put one hand on his hip and pointed at the bodyguards with his right hand, shouting, "Grab her! Now! If you can't, you're all fired!"
The bodyguards started urging Lester, "Lester, do it. Who do you think Mr. Neville favors more, Kevin or Elliot? Of course, it's Elliot!"
"Yeah, just tell Kevin we had no choice!"
Lester reluctantly nodded and signaled to the bodyguards, "Follow Mr. Neville's orders and grab these two women!"
A group of bodyguards surrounded Agnes. During this time, Lester quickly called Kevin to explain the situation.
Agnes was happily cutting hair when the bodyguards surrounded her. Bella stood in front of her, "What are you doing! I warn you, don't come any closer!"
Agnes waved the scissors provocatively, "Come on, try it. I guarantee you'll lose your ability to reproduce!"
They didn't believe Agnes, a woman, could do that. Two of them pulled Bella away, and the others moved in.
Agnes kicked one of the bodyguards in the stomach, causing him to step back in pain. With so many people, she had to temporarily let go of the nearly fainting Faith and focus on dealing with the bodyguards.
Lester had just finished explaining the situation to Kevin when Kevin lost his composure, "Lester, you're dead, really!"
"What's going on? Kevin, don't scare me! That's Mr. Neville!"
Kevin wiped his face, "Tell your men to stop and apologize to Mrs. Neville! If Agnes gets hurt, don't expect me to help you, even if we're old classmates!"
Lester struggled, "Kevin, are you sure you want to help Agnes? That's the Wright Family's Faith and Mr. Elliot Neville."
"Absolutely sure. Do you dare to touch Mr. Leopold Neville's people? Idiot, got it?" Kevin said through gritted teeth.
Hearing that Agnes was Leopold's person, Lester was terrified and immediately shouted, "Everyone, back off!"
The bodyguards, caught up in the fight, ignored Lester's order. Lester, desperate, rushed over and shouted, "Stop it!" He directly stood in front of Agnes.
Everyone froze, and the bodyguards, afraid of hurting Lester, had to stop.
Finally, it quieted down. Lester breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and turned to smile apologetically, "Ms. Tudor, I'm sorry. Did these idiots hurt you? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Agnes was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Lester awkwardly smiled, "I really didn't mean it. You guys, control Faith and Mr. Elliot Neville. Do whatever Ms. Tudor says."
Everyone fell silent.
ZL Group
Kevin nervously reported, "Mr. Leopold Neville, there's a situation at Alioth." He really didn't want to say it, but he had to report anything involving Agnes.
Leopold looked up at him sharply, "How is she?"
"Oh, Mrs. Neville is fine. It's just that Mr. Elliot Neville is also there. He had a conflict with Mrs. Neville. Mrs. Neville hit Mr. Elliot Neville and cut the hair of the Wright Family's Faith."
Elliot? Leopold frowned and took out his phone to call Agnes, "Hey, Leopold."
Agnes lowered her voice, "I'm fine. I just seem to have hit your cousin Elliot." She was afraid Leopold would blame her.
Hearing she was fine, Leopold sighed in relief, "Good job."
"You're not mad?"
"Mad? Let me talk to Elliot."
"Okay, Elliot, it's for you!"
Elliot took the phone, "Who's calling me?"
Taking the phone, Elliot asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me."
Elliot, still confused, said, "Leopold, what's up?"
Faith suspiciously stared at Agnes. Why would Leopold call her?
After a brief conversation, Elliot nodded, "Got it, I'm coming over."
Hanging up, he grabbed Agnes's wrist, "Let's go to Leopold's office."
Agnes shook off his hand, "Why should I go? Why do I have to go?"
"You have to. This started because of you." Elliot felt safer with her around.
Lester, who had just seen off the police, heard they were leaving and immediately arranged for a car, "Ms. Tudor, Mr. Neville, I'll drive you."
Faith, hearing Agnes was leaving, panicked and quickly blocked Agnes, who was saying goodbye to Bella, "Agnes, you can't leave!" Her backup would arrive in two minutes. If Agnes left, all her efforts would be in vain.
Before Agnes could respond, Elliot impatiently pushed Faith away, "Faith, are you done? I thought you were cool and aloof, but you're actually clingy?"
He had been with Faith because she seemed cool and aloof.
Faith, enraged by Elliot's words, pointed at his nose and shouted, "We're breaking up! I'm calling my mom to cancel the engagement!"
So they were really planning to get engaged.
"Whatever!" Elliot didn't care and got in the car. Seeing Agnes still hesitating outside, he urged, "Get in! Don't let that Wright Family shrew affect you."
Faith, furious, cursed, "Elliot, you bastard! Your whole family are shrews!"
