Chapter 125 Yeah, I'm the One Bullying You
Sarah was freakin' out about Ethan. She locked eyes with Antonio and snapped, "Cut the BS. Where the hell is Ethan? I'm tellin' you, Antonio, you got no right to judge anyone. If you don't let him go, I'm gonna sue your ass for kidnapping!"
Antonio just lost it. He laughed, but it was more like a growl, "Go ahead, see if anyone's got the guts to take your case."
Everyone thought they could scare him with legal threats, like he’d actually give a damn?
"Go on, call the cops. Ethan kidnapped my assistant, hacked our system, crashed the shareholders' meeting, threatened to blow up Valencia Group, trashed my car, and today he even snuck in and broke the elevator. Sarah, you really think I'm the one who should be sued?"
To Sarah, Antonio's rant was just plain nuts.
She let out a mocking laugh and shot back, "Aren't you supposed to be some big shot? How'd you get outplayed by a kid like Ethan?"
Antonio's eyes went ice-cold, but Sarah didn't care and kept going, "Let's skip the credibility of your story. Even if Ethan did all that, Mr. Valencia, how could you have the balls to call the cops?"
Antonio always acted like he was untouchable, but now he was getting schooled by Ethan?
This was just too much.
She thought, 'Did Ethan really do all that? That's way too risky!'
Antonio's eyes turned to ice at her words.
He squinted and stepped closer to Sarah. "I can let some things slide, but there's one thing I gotta know."
Sensing something was off, Sarah took a step back. "Stay the hell away from me."
Antonio's smile was thin and cold, thinking, 'She's still fighting me.'
He couldn't hold back his anger anymore and cornered Sarah, leaving her no way out. "Tell me, who is that guy?"
'Who the hell made you have twins for him?
Who made you betray me over and over for him?
Who did I lose to?' Antonio asked inwardly.
Sarah's eyes flashed with confusion at Antonio's questions.
Why did he always think she had a lover?
Had he seen someone?
Right then, she didn't have the time or the patience to figure out Antonio's words; her mind was all about Ethan's safety.
"I don't get what you're saying, Antonio. Where the hell is Ethan?"
Just thinking about Ethan stuck in some sketchy place, all alone and probably getting messed with by Antonio's goons, made her heart hurt like hell.
But Antonio wasn't about to let her see Ethan. He stepped closer, and Sarah backed up fast, her back slamming into the wall.
Seeing her try to bolt, Antonio slammed his hands on either side of her, trapping her. "Now you're worried? When you brought Harper to the villa and had Ethan mess with me, you were having a blast, weren't you?"
Sarah shot back, "You kidnapped Harper first and trapped us! You say Ethan sabotaged you, but where's your proof? Just 'cause he showed up at your company, you think he did all that? Don't push it too far!"
Antonio figured, if she was gonna accuse him, he might as well play the part.
He leaned in, his breath warm on her face, a sly smile on his lips. "Yeah, I'm just bullying you."
Sarah's eyes widened. She knew what was coming, and her heart raced. She shoved at Antonio. "Antonio, get away from me!"
But he didn't budge.
His tall frame pressed her down, his cool lips near her ear, whispering, "Wanna try making love in the office?"
His voice was low and magnetic, and his fingers brushed her neck.
Sarah's body shook, panic setting in.
Last time he went nuts, he almost had his way, but Harper had interrupted just in time.
Now, this was his turf, and no one would dare barge in.
As Antonio leaned in to kiss her, Sarah's eyes went wide. In desperation, she bit down hard on his arm.
Meanwhile, Harper was alone in her room.
She texted Ethan first. No surprise, no reply—his phone was probably taken.
So she took off the bow on her shoulder and used the hidden comm device to contact Ethan.
Half a minute later, she got a reply: [Antonio's got me.]
Then, a location pinged.
Harper's eyes flickered with a mix of worry and relief.
Ethan was in trouble, but if they could still talk, he was safe for now.
[Don't be scared!] Harper quickly typed and sent the message, then put the bow back on and walked out with purpose.
She was gonna rescue Ethan!
