Chapter 62 His Wrath Unleashed
For a moment, Colby seemed lost in thought before he finally broke the silence, his voice dripping with disdain. "Mr. Walter? I was under the impression that it was someone else."The harsh sound of a heavy object colliding with the door panel echoed through the room once more. The door lock trembled momentarily, followed by the distinct sound of the lock being turned. It was undoubtedly Pamela, fearing the door would be damaged beyond repair, surrendering the key. The door swung open from the outside, and a group of people sauntered in with an air of arrogance.Desmond, without wasting a moment, pointed at Natalie and barked an order to his bodyguards, "Drag this woman out!"
Natalie's face drained of color at his command."I was under the impression that a stray dog had wandered into my territory, acting so audaciously. But it seems it's a member of the Walter family after all." Adrian snuffed out his cigarette with a flick of his finger, his gaze lifting to meet Desmond's. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.A palpable sense of oppression descended upon Desmond, causing a shiver to run down his spine. The alcohol in his system was quickly replaced by a sobering fear.Desmond's eyes scanned the three individuals in the private room - a man with a limp, a seemingly gentle man, and this man who instilled fear in him.Desmond felt a twinge of trepidation. Under normal circumstances, he would have made an effort to identify these people first.However, the moment he stepped into the room, he was met with insult. Anger flared within Desmond. He pointed at Adrian and spat out, "Who is this brute who dares to insult me? Are you this waitress's lover, playing the knight in shining armor? Teach them a lesson!"The tension in the room escalated, teetering on the brink of violence.Pamela, in a desperate attempt to defuse the situation, pleaded, "Mr. Walter, please, control your anger."Everyone present was a guest, and none dared to offend Pamela. If a fight were to break out, she would be held accountable. Anxiety gnawed at her as she wondered why Melody hadn't arrived yet.Pamela shot a glance at Natalie, gesturing for her to come over. "Apologize to Mr. Walter, ask him to calm down."Desmond, however, was not in a forgiving mood. He roughly pushed Pamela aside and barked at his bodyguard, "What are you standing around for? Take this woman to my bed, and teach this man a lesson!"His gaze fell on Natalie, a lewd smile spreading across his face. "Beauty, this boy toy of yours is unreliable. You should follow me, and you'll want for nothing."Two bodyguards lunged for Natalie, their hands closing around her wrist. A scream of panic tore from Natalie's throat.Before she could react, a hand snaked around her waist, pulling her into a warm, familiar embrace. The faint scent of tobacco mingled with alcohol filled her senses.She found herself staring at Adrian's profile, a face that had haunted her dreams countless times.Simultaneously, a fork from a silver fruit platter was launched through the air, embedding itself in the hand of one of the bodyguards. A scream of pain filled the room as the bodyguard clutched his injured hand, while the other was sent sprawling by a kick from Adrian.Adrian's demeanor shifted. His usually cold expression darkened further. "Where's Jason? Tell him to come to me!"
